Welcome to The List,
Tom Cruise might still realize his dream of shooting a movie in outer space . . . but he won’t be the first person to do it. The Russians beat him to it. A Russian company shot a movie on the International Space Station. It’s called “The Challenge”, and it’s about a surgeon who has to perform heart surgery on a cosmonaut in space. The actress and her director underwent rigorous training before blasting off. It took them about 12 days to shoot, and they wrapped just a few months before Russia invaded Ukraine. It’s due out in April.

Some of us have been pronouncing the 10th “Fast & Furious” title wrong this entire time. “Fast X” is pronounced “Fast Ten” . . . NOT “Fast Ex”.And it’s actually meant to be a PUN. Director Louis Leterrier said in an “Empire” interview that it’s “Fast Ten” as in, quote, “fast ten your seatbelts. ““Fast X” hits theaters May 19th.

Yesterday we reported that two women got into a boxing match after watching a screening of Creed III in Paris…well…..Screen Rant now reports some independent movie theaters in France are refusing to show ”Creed III” because audiences were fighting during the film over last weekend. One theatre had to deal with a mass brawl. Fights are also breaking out in German movie theaters. So, now…they’re pulling the movie…

The NY Post says Chris Rock was open to calling a truce with Will Smith. A source tells the newspaper that Rock didn’t because Will never personally apologized to him for slapping him at the Oscars.. Will’s two public apologies were all about saving his own reputation. Will has not apologized to Chris Rock in person — and Chris isn’t expecting it.”

It hasn’t even been a week and Morgan Wallen is breaking all sorts of records. Billboard‘s Artist 100 list. Fresh off the release of his new mega album One Thing at a Time, the “You Proof” singer has reclaimed the No. 1 position, moving up from No. 3…No other country act has done this is quite some time. The only two other artists that have come close are Luke Combs and Jason Aldean who each spent three weeks on top.

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.

Welcome to The List,
The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.
