Welcome to The List,
You wouldn’t know by looking at her but Miranda Lambert says she still gets nervous performing on television. ”I just try to think of it as, just go do what I do. I do one thing and when I get freaked out about what it is or who the audience is I just pretend that I’m up on a stage at Billy Bobs and doin what I do and it does calm me down.”
Blake Shelton Says “Minimum Wage” Was Meant To Be Performed Live … “I just thought wow you know I could just see us kickin off a concert and really milking that intro for a while. It’s not one of those song you have to think super hard about. It’s just a really great message and a great love song.”
Bad news on the set of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 7, it looks like several of the cast and crew have tested positive for the coronavirus. A source tells the National Enquirer, that “The whole shooting crew, about 60 people, have all had to self-isolate for 14 days…With all the setbacks, accidents and temper tantrums this film is starting to look like a mission impossible.
Patrick Wilson talks about his new movie “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” Patrick says the movie follows the previous films’ tradition of basing their plots on true stories. “The case is based on a true story, as all the Conjuring films are. It’s the first case in United States history, were demonic possession was used as an alibi for homicide. The question becomes, that he said that he was possessed.” We took a look at “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” yesterday, you can check it out at KIXWEB.COM under ‘At The Movies” “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” is in theaters and streaming today on HBO Max.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
