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.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Taylor Swift reportedly used to be hesitant about dating athletes until Travis Kelce showed up. A source says her mom encouraged her to give Travis a chance, and now Taylor’s outlook has completely changed. Not only that, insiders claim the relationship has boosted the Chiefs’ global presence. Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.

Sad news from the NASCAR world. Greg Biffle, one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers, has died at age 55 in a plane crash in North Carolina.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
