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.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world.
