Welcome to The List,
Last week Maren Morris tweeted that she might like to try out for the Broadway show for “Wicked” so, why not! She shared her Video Audition Tape of ‘The Wizard And I’, from the musical. She said in the post that the video was a test shot for her audition for the musical. That would be cool…and something to add to the ole resume’

“Bad Boys 4″ is still in development despite Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Sony chairman Tom Rothman tells Screen Rant. That was a very unfortunate thing that happened, and I don’t think it’s really my place to comment, except to say that I’ve known Will Smith for many years, and I know him to be a good person. I believe his apology and regret is genuine, and I believe in forgiveness and redemption.” And of course the big payday when Bad Boys 4 hits theaters. That release date has not been announced.

Tim McGraw tells Variety magazine that Faith Hill forced him to shower on the set of ”1883”. “There were a few times that my wife forced me to take a shower while we were shooting , because I wanted to stay in character as best I could. She’s like, ‘I don’t care about Method. You stink!’”

Dylan Scott does NOT like doing music video’s “It’s a little uncomfortable for me, because you gotta act a little bit. But it’s a cool thing to do.” Adding, music videos and photo shoots are very critical with going along with the music, So, you just gotta suck it up and do it.

I’ve always heard Tom Cruise was…short, well he’s 5 ft 7 and stood eye-to-eye with Kate Middleton at the London premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick”. SHE was wearing three-inch stiletto heels… Tom shall we say “padded” his shoes, with a stacked heel and placed elevating insoles inside of them which made HIM 6 foot tall…to which I say just OWN it…
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ opens in theatres on Thursday night

Welcome to The List,
Shaboozey tells People magazine that his Nigerian parents shaped his hustle. His dad worked menial jobs in the U.S. after hardships in Africa, and his mom—who wasn't a fan of his music dream—now joins him onstage. From skeptical to stage mom? That’s a full-circle flex.

Rachel Brosnahan found out she was playing Lois Lane… in a public bathroom. She got a call from “Maybe James Gunn”—and prayed a toilet didn’t flush during the big moment. Honestly? That’s the most relatable superhero origin story I’ve ever heard.

Allegedly, Kim Kardashian felt overshadowed by Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos’ wedding—like invisible-level ignored. She had her eyes on Tom Brady, but he only had eyes for Sydney. Now Kim’s spiraling, thinking four kids and a 40-something birthday might be killing her ‘It Girl’ vibe. Spoiler: it’s not the kids, Kim.
-----
Dolly Parton is out here defying the laws of music and gravity—she just dropped a duet with Motley Crue. Yeah, THAT Motley Crue. They re-did “Home Sweet Home” for its 40th anniversary, and boom—it’s now #1 on the Classic Rock chart. Dolly said country roads? Nah, we’re taking the rock highway now!
