Spider-Man: No Way Home’ is going to be one of Marvel’s BIGGEST movies…but it’s not keeping Tom Holland from pranking the man in charge… “The Spider-Man suite because the thing is so tight, the zips sometimes get stuck. We have a bottle of lube that we squirt on the zips to like get it open. Rich Bow is there he’s one of our big Marvel producers in charge of the money, so you know, a COVID shutdown for him is a very serious thing. This bottle of lube DOES suspiciously look like a bottle of hand sanitizer. So, he walks over and he’s chatting to me and he’s like ‘hey man, can I get some of that hand sanitizer?’ I look at my brother Harry and I’m like this is about to be golden” ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ opens in theaters on Friday, December 17th.

Thursday, Jussie Smollett was found guilty of five counts of disorderly conduct for making false reports to police that he was a victim of a hate crime in January 2019. Prosecutor Dan Webb Responds To the verdict. “Whether we won or lost the trial isn’t the issue. What WAS the issue is that when Mr. Smollett done in this city should be aired in front of a public trial, were ALL the evidence comes out. But, the TRUE facts I thought needed to come out and we did it.

You may have some great Christmas memories…we asked Carrie Underwood about some of her’s.. “One thing that we always did growing up that was one of my favorite memories, we would on Christmas Eve we would go to my grandparents’ house. Us kids were always responsible for putting oranges and apples and bananas in little paper bags and we would go down to the nursing home and sing Christmas carols.” How cool is that….

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
