Welcome to The List,
We start with Jada Pinkett, we talked about it a little yesterday. Today we find out that Chris Rock took that Oscar slap for NOTHING . . . because Will Smith and Jada Pinkett weren’t even together when it happened. The first thing Jada said to Will once they were alone was, quote, “Are you okay?” Jada says that right after the slap, during a commercial break, Chris came to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to her. But she told him, quote, “I can’t talk about this now, Chris. This is some old stuff.” As for the joke that prompted the slap, Jada won’t say it offended her. Quote, “I mean, that’s what comedians do. Sounds like there’s a lot of manipulation going on here….

Welcome to The List,
Kim Kardashian just testified against the “grandpa robbers” who tied her up and stole her jewelry in Paris back in 2016. And how did she show up to court? In $7 million worth of diamonds—including a 52-carat necklace. That’s carat, not karat. She said when they broke in at 3am, she was in a bathrobe and thought she was going to die. So naturally, she dressed like a human vault to face them. Classic Kim.

Remember when Morgan Wallen peaced out of SNL faster than a dad at a toddler’s dance recital? He finally explained why: “I was ready to go home. I’d been there all week.” That’s it. No drama. No tantrum. Just a man who’d had enough New York. He even posted “Get me to God’s country” from the tarmac. Honestly? Mood.

George Strait turns 73 this Sunday and just hinted at when he’ll retire. He said he’s got about “five good years” left on stage. Which means the King of Country might still be touring at 78. The man’s been performing for over 50 years—since his Army days. And he’s still selling out shows. Last summer? Over 110,000 people packed into Texas A&M to see him. Legend status confirmed.

A new book says George Clooney called for Biden to drop out right after a fundraiser where... Biden didn’t recognize him. Clooney. The guy from Ocean’s Eleven. The one he’s known for years. The book says Clooney was “shaken to his core.” I mean, if George Clooney walked up to me and I said “Do I know you?”—I’d assume I’d been hit in the head with a frying pan.
