Welcome to The List,
Here’s a twist….Alec Baldwin wants to make sure it’s on the record that he is NOT responsible for the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. And he’s doing that by SUING several crew members who had anything to do with the loaded gun that went off and killed her. One of the reasons Alec is doing this is because HE is being sued by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who was also hit by the bullet that discharged from Alec’s gun.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” did about what everyone expected . . . making $180 million in the U.S. in its opening weekend. That’s a record for November, “Black Panther” made $150 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $330 million. The original “Black Panther” made $202 million in the U.S. in its opening weekend back in 2018.

Lainey Wilson has spent her whole life immersed in country music. But there she was making her acting debut on last night’s “Yellowstone”. And it looks like she may have a future there too. That’s according to Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton on the show. She told Lainey it looked like she had been “doing it forever”. She did very well, I watched the two-hour season premier and all I can say is … wow…it’s going to be a good season…

The new Godzilla, King Kong movie has a new title… sort of…Now, it’s called Godzilla AND Kong…because now they’re friends. To be fair, this title hasn’t been officially announced yet; so it’s always possible the movie will actually end up being called Godzilla Or Kong, or Godzilla But Kong. Still, the whole “And” thing does tie into the already released synopsis for the film, which states that it pits “the almighty Kong *and* the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world.”…We’re holding our breath….
