Welcome to The List,
Jason Momoa revealed yesterday that Ben Affleck is returning as Batman in “Aquaman and the Lost Kindgom”. They were trying to keep it a secret, but they were outed by a tour bus on the Warner Brothers lot. Ben already suited up for “The Flash”, which is supposed to come out in June of 2023 . . . providing Ezra Miller can keep his nose clean. But “Aquaman” hits theaters in March, three months earlier.

The British tabloids are saying that Miranda Lambert’s husband Brendan McLoughlin has to ask her for money, and it’s “driving him crazy.” Miranda loves posting photos of all the good times she and her husband have on Her Instagram. Brendan retired from the NYPD in 2020, and became a member of her security team. Sure, but I doubt he’s clocking in with the rest of the team. My guess is that he has a “Miranda company credit card” and no worries…

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
