What is YOUR favorite holiday classic to rewatch every season?? The top answers were Elf, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Christmas Story and the number one pick? Home Alone! Die Hard was listed at number 10…SO, that confirms in someway that it IS a Christmas movie…”Come out to the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs”.

Disney might be in trouble…they haven’t released a movie this year that’s cracked $1 billion at the box office, and that’s not good. It’s the first time this has happened since 2014 . . . not counting the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021. Major releases like “The Marvels”, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”, and the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” all failed to meet expectations.

77-year-old Cher hates aging so much that she’d give anything just to be 70 again. She’s also not thrilled about her song “Believe” turning 25…well congrats anyway…

Everyone’s got a catchy name for their fanbase…Luke Bryan’s is called ‘The Nuthouse’… “That’s the name of my fan club – the Nut House, because they’re nutty and my Daddy’s a peanut farmer. I figured I spent my whole life hauling around peanuts, I would name…just a play on words, you know.”…Are YOU part of “The Nuthouse”?

BuzzFeed News says Taylor Swift’s fans are calling her out for charging $20 to rent her Eras Tour concert film for 48 hours. Many are accusing her of being greedy and exploiting them with her excessive limited edition merchandise drops…these are the same people who dropped up to $1200 for tickets to the shows.

Do you remember who played the part of Marty McFly in the movie "Back To The Future"?
Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
