Welcome to The List,
Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan are coming together in the next “Karate Kid” movie. Ralph will play Daniel LaRusso again from the original movies, and Jackie will return as Mr. Han from the 2010 remake. A global casting search is underway to find the NEXT “Karate Kid”. The actor must be 15 to 17 years old and “portray Chinese or mixed-race Chinese”. He must speak fluent English, and any Mandarin is a plus. Acting experience isn’t required, but they do have to know martial arts.

For Thanksgiving there are a FEW things Mitchell Tenpenny says are a MUST HAVE “Macaroni and cheese with Ritz crackers baked on top. It is so unhealthy, but so good… And my mom’s deviled eggs. It’s not turkey. It’s not ham. I mean I like that, but if like the mac and cheese isn’t there or the deviled eggs, I like kind of being a brat about it. I will cause a fit so it’s there every time and it’s delicious.” I don’t know about the Mac and Cheese with Ritz crackers thing, but deviled eggs? Oh yeah every time “

Variety Magazine says “Mrs. Doubtfire” director Chris Columbus shot 2 million feet of film because Robin Williams improvised so much dialogue. Williams would do a scripted take and then improvise. Columbus had to shoot the movie with four cameras to keep up with Williams’ improvisation. He has 900 boxes of footage from the film and hopes to turn it into a documentary.

This is NOT a joke…The Rolling Stones’ 2024 tour will be sponsored by the AARP . . . seriously. And members even get access to tickets two days early. The tour kicks off in Houston on April 28th. They announced a 16-date North American tour in support of their new album “Hackney Diamonds”. And they did something kind of brilliant: They effectively prevented all of us from being able to joke about the tour being sponsored by the AARP . . . because they literally got the AARP to sponsor the tour!!

Monday was a big day for Tim McGraw. He woke up to learn that “Standing Room Only” had gone to Number One. It’s his 46th song to top the Country Radio Chart . . . and he was over the moon about it. Sharing a quote over social media he said “He’s overwhelmed with gratitude. Stay tuned for a big surprise.” That came later in another post, which turned out to be “a few songs” as he put it…it’s actually a new EP titled “Poet’s Resume”. He also released the first single, which is called “Runnin’ Outta Love”.

And lastly, Blake Shelton tells Entertainment Tonight that he was excited when he saw Gwen Stefani’s 9-year-old son, Apollo, wearing western wear like him for her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. He usually wears sweats and shorts all the time, and when he saw him come down the stairs in jeans and boots it warmed his heart.

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
