Jordan Davis tells CMT that he tries to live his life by a movie quote. Saying "One of the deepest movie quotes I ever heard was from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." It was “Life moves pretty fast.

Fox News says Mark Hamill is signing Star Wars posters to benefit the Ukraine. He says the money is going to help the country in their fight against Russia. Saying “They’re for real hardcore collectors — especially those that have disposable income — you can get way more money … than you would imagine." I guess the $113 – Billion the U.S. Government has given Ukrain already just isn’t cutting it.

Well the question has finally been put to rest…no not the “Is Die Hard a Christmas movie” obviously….it is….After an exhaustive experiment, James Cameron admits that Jack might have been able to survive at the end of "Titanic", but he adds that there are a lot of variables.  Still, if he could go back, he would make the piece of floating debris smaller so there's no debate…I think he just didn’t like Jack.

Welcome to The List,

Who has the secret to looking young? Well, THAT would probably be Paul Rudd!!  In an interview for "Men's Health", he said, quote, “Eight hours of sleep, then diet.  Then weights.  Then cardio.  The most important part of training is sleep.  I get up and I have a cup of coffee, and then I do cardio before I eat anything.  I never would've done that before ['Ant-Man'].  I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week."

Jane 2".
