Someone took a load off in the aisle next to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton last week at a performance of “Some Like It Hot” on Broadway.. I’m not saying they kicked off their shoes and got comfy. So, either someone is LITERALLY pooing in the aisle or they’re dumping poo they smuggled into the theater. A source said this is the fourth time it’s happened. That’s just unreal…that someone went back to see “Some Like It Hot” four times like that…

Keanu Reeves’ John Wick : Chapter 4′ …is in theaters this weekend and here he talks about the training he does for the ‘John Wick’ movies. “I’ve had the chance to train, now for four films so it’s like I’ve been basically doin a year of my life practicing. Movie Judo and movie Jiu Jitsu, weapon manipulation. I’ve got a chance to be a little bit better at it just through experience with the teachers that I’ve had. That’s the fun and the great pleasure that I’ve had.” Keanu says he loves it when the director says ‘Action’. ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ opens in theatres this weekend.

How different would life be if “Shazam!” star Zachary Levi got the part for Captain America? He tells the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he blew his audition for Captain America. Saying I look like Rogers pre-serum! Like, clearly they could help me work out and I could get big, but, wasn’t meant to be – I did not have that energy, Chris Evans had that energy.

Only Kid Rock could turn a poolside salute into a military investigation. The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
