Welcome to The List,
Buzzfeed tossed out the names of 50 celebrities . . . and asked people if they have a POSTIVE or NEGATIVE opinion of them at the moment. Some of the most highly regarded celebrities are not surprising. Keanu Reeves and Danny DeVito, Dolly Parton and Ryan Reynolds were at the top of the ‘Positive” opinion list and at the very bottom? Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos from Amazon.

AMC will soon start charging different prices for movie tickets, depending on where your SEAT is. The good ones in the middle will cost more, while the worst ones, like the front row, will cost less. Here I thought they were trying to get people to come BACK to the theater.

Is “Yellowstone” ending this summer? Kevin Costner might be leaving “Yellowstone”, due to scheduling conflicts. That could lead to the original “Yellowstone” coming to an end when Season Five wraps later this year. For now, it’s just a rumor, but if that happens there’s talk of a possible spinoff with Matthew McConaughey.

When you’ve been in a men’s magazine, were part of a TV show, a movie, and married to one of the biggest rockstars in the world…you then get a documentary made about you…a book based off the same documentary…what’s next? The Daily Mail says Pamela Anderson is getting her own cooking show titled ”Pamela’s Cooking With Love”. The series will originate from her home in Canada. The Food Network has ordered eight episodes. Pamela will be cooking plant-based meals.

You may remember Lainey Wilson’s awesome New Year’s resolution when she vowed to “maintain her big back side so more people can kiss it.” Well, a line has formed. It’s actually an Instagram account filled with pics of Lainey’s backside.

A couple of lawmakers want to add Steve Earle’s 1988 hit “Copperhead Road” to the list of State Songs of Tennessee. They proposed a bill to be voted on during the legislative session.

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.
