Welcome to The List,
Luke Bryan feels “Great” after recovering from the Coronavirus “It was just an honor to be back, next to my compadres here…”
Lionel – “You know what, it’s so great to have our official virus back on the set, but our official germ is back and we love him so much.”
Can’t you just feel the love….
Thomas Rhett got emotional while performing for frontline workers at the ACM Awards … “It almost made me cry, honestly, looking up into those stands and seeing people that are putting their health and their lives just on the line and getting to give them live music for the first time in a long time was one of the most special things I’ve gotten to do in a minute.” His wife Lauren just graduated from Tennessee with a nursing degree recently. So it was extra special for him to bring live music to people doing what his wife has worked so hard to achieve as a career.
Kate Winslet dishes on “Avatar 2” .. She says reuniting with “Titanic” director James Cameron was “amazing.” What make her MOST proud? “I play a reef person, so I spent most of my time in the water. It’s been widely talked about, I believe, that I learnt how to hold my breath for seven minutes which is completely true and I’m VERY proud of that.” She beat Tom Cruises time from Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation were he held his breath for six minutes. “Avatar 2” is tentatively scheduled to be released in December of 2022.
Uproxx says Vin Diesel is going to star in a new Rock’Em Sock’Em Robots movie. He will play a father, who develops an unlikely bond with an advanced war robot.
Stand By…TV Insider says Tom Bergeron may be returning as the host of ”Dancing With the Stars”. He posted a video from ”The Godfather Part 3” along with the caption: “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in. Stay tuned…”

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.
