Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett has goals….to play Kenny Chesney-sized stadiums. “That’s the plan. I mean, I think it would be the sickest thing in the world to be able to do those stadiums the way that Kenny does them. And I feel like I got to learn from the best getting to watch Kenny. He took me to school, man, and it was a fun Summer, and I feel like I learned so much about what it takes to, you know, hopefully do that one day.” Thomas’ current album “Center Point Road” peaked at number one on the country charts and gearing up for a few appearances in May in Fort Worth Texas.
What’s in a name…people ask Tenille Arts on where she got hers…”I get asked all the time if Tenille Arts is my real name, and yes, my first name is Tenille and I was named after Captain and Tenille and I’m the daughter of Kevin and Glenda Arts..so..my last name is Arts.” I loved Captain and Tenille, Love will keep us together!!
Kenan Thompson talks about the ‘Home Alone’ reboot..they started filming last May, got shut down because of COVID…now? “It was a long shoot, it started in Canada, got shut down and then came back around because of the pandemic. It’s been very splotchy as far as trying to get it done. But, I think they’re getting very close to finishing it.” Home Alone is the sixth installment in the Home Alone franchise and will be a reboot of the original 1990 film.
A couple stories from TMZ..FIRST they’re reporting Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have gotten a restraining order against a stalker. The stalker shows up at Olivia’s home and claims he’s dating her. He also has been complaining about her boyfriend, Harry Styles…MAN! Nobody likes her boyfriend…

Welcome to The List,
I did not know this, but Tom Cruise was almost cast as Jack Dawson in Titanic. Yes… imagine Jack sprinting across the bow yelling, “I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!” Tom was 35 at the time, Jack was supposed to be 20, and apparently the salary demands, scheduling conflicts, and the lack of running scenes threw everything off. River Phoenix, Matthew McConaughey, and Jared Leto were also considered. But producers said Leo was the perfect fit. Cruise could have brought star power… but DiCaprio brought teenage hysteria and record-breaking box office. The more you know.

File this under “early-2000s fever dream”: Paris Hilton hosted a private birthday dinner for Britney Spears in Mexico. Candles, balloons, colorful banners the whole Y2K nostalgia starter pack. Britney’s gifts came in hot pink boxes, obviously. But RadarOnline says Brit injured herself on the trip after “doing a flip off a boat.” Now a family member is worried, saying her behavior is “disturbing,” but there’s only so much anyone can do since she’s, quote, “a grown woman.” The 90s are back… and they’re still chaotic.

Zac Brown apparently scared the cowboy boots off fans at his Las Vegas Sphere show. Some concert-goers were floored by the visuals giant skeletons, fiery imagery, the whole metal-album-cover experience. Responses ranged from “incredible!” to “Sir… WRONG audience.” One fan said, “Do you even know who your audience is?” Not sure Zac was trying to summon demons…

Kenny Chesney found out he’s the seventh most popular touring act of the entire millennium over 18 million tickets sold since 2001. His reaction? “I was shocked.” Shocked? Kenny, you sell more stadium seats than the NFL. The kid from East Tennessee is basically the mayor of summer now. Sunburns everywhere are celebrating.
