Welcome to The List,
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were walking to their car in New York City on Wednesday night, and fans were crowding around them, trying to get autographs and selfies. One guy got too close, and actually TRIPPED Rita. Tom stopped, turned back toward the crowd, and yelled, quote, “This is my wife. Back the [eff] off!” Being yelled at by Tom Hanks is like being yelled at by the one parent who never raises their voice, or that teacher you always thought loved you. It’s not scary, but it’s shocking . . . and it hurts

Luke Combs’ new album, “Growin’ Up”, is out next week. The sound will be 100% Luke, although it’ll be missing something that’s dear to his heart. He tells “The New York Times” that there are no beer songs on it. There are references to his favorite beverage, but no songs about it. It’s because the album reflects how his life has been changing.

Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe” hits Paramount+ next week . ., and Beavis and Butthead aren’t limiting themselves to music videos. They’ll also comment on clips from YouTube and TikTok. Creator Mike Judge says, quote, “There’s just so much to watch.

Chris Hemsworth says he’s still getting in shape to play Hulk Hogan.”Todd Phillips is busy doing Joker 2 and he’s been off doing other films like ‘Thor Love and Thunder’ which is in theaters July 7th. It’s all in conversations and in development, a lot of things need to come together for it to happen. He doesn’t have 24-inch pythons… yet.”

Jackson Dean comes from a very broad musical background. The ‘Don’t Come Lookin’ singer tells Entertaiment-Focus.com There was always music being played in the house. Hank Jr, David Allan Coe and older Country artists like that. There was a lot of Blues music and then bands like the Allman Brothers, The Band and on into stuff like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC too. Sounds pretty well rounded…

Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
