Welcome to The List,
Amazon is asking it’s subscribers to pay an extra $2.99 to stream without commercials…and it’s landed them in hot water…Amazon is now facing a class-action lawsuit for it. The lawsuit claims this is a breach of contract for users who had already signed up to receive content with NO ADS at the original price. Quote, “Subscribers must now pay extra to get something they already paid for.” The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million and a court order barring Amazon from engaging in further “deceptive” conduct on behalf of users who subscribed to Prime before the pricing change was instituted.

And she’s been going through a lot of hard things lately, and she just had a little too much to drink . . “So, let’s just forgive that and forget it and move on, ‘cuz she felt worse than anybody ever could.” Elle still hasn’t commented on the incident.

Keanu Reeves may have the market cornered on “Whoa”, but Owen Wilson is the primary owner and proprietor of “Wow”. It’s hard to think of a movie where he doesn’t say it at least once. Movie Web estimates that Owen Wilson has earned approximately $135,000 just saying “Wow” in his movies. They claim he’s said it 102 times, and he makes an average of about $1,324 per word.

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.
