Welcome to The List,

Sadly, Robbie Coltrane, who played the giant Hagrid in the "Harry Potter" movies, died Friday.  There's no word on the cause of death, but he had reportedly been ill for the past few years. He was 72.

Carrie Underwood kicked off her "Denim & Rhinestones" tour on Saturday with a 24-song setlist.  She even brought out a glittery drum set and did a solo on "Poor Everybody Else".  Carrie also covered Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle".

Marvel fans have wondered who is going to replace William Hurt as General “Thunderbolt” Ross because he passed earlier this year.  Well, it’s unofficial but it looks like Harrison Ford has been tapped to replace Hurt at the General.  Several sources claim Ford will play Ross in "Captain America: New World Order", and then "Thunderbolts", where he oversees an anti-hero team sort of like the "Suicide Squad". In the comics, Thunderbolt Ross becomes a character called Red Hulk . . . but there's no word if that's happening in the MCU.

-----

Thomas Rhett and Katy Perry are announcing something, but what could it be?  They posted a photo of their silhouettes with tomorrow's date.  They already have a duet together with "Where We Started", so maybe it could be a music video.  Or a brand new song.

Florida Georgia Line is coming out with their first greatest hits album.  It'll have over 18 songs, including three new songs.  It comes out November 9th, but there's an exclusive vinyl at Target that comes out October 28th.  Try not to get too excited though, the band is still on hiatus.

Welcome to The List,

One of the funniest comedy franchises of all time is getting a reboot.  A new "Naked Gun" movie is in the works, starring Liam Neeson. That's an interesting choice, because his name is so similar to the star of the original movies, Leslie Nielsen.  And, just like Leslie, Neeson goes into it having been known primarily for serious roles. This isn't official, but there's word that Neeson will play the SON of Leslie Nielsen's character, Lieutenant Frank Drebin. I want to know who’s going to play Nordberg…if you know…you know….

Maren Morris tells ABC that she doesn't want her son becoming a musician. “As a parent, you support any of their dreams. But my husband and I are like, ‘please don’t end up in the music industry!’ We joke that we want him to be, like, an accountant.”   Does she really not like what she does that much?

Welcome to The List,

Page Six reports Elon Musk is now selling a fragrance called Burnt Hair, for $100 a bottle.  The website calls it, quote, "The essence of repugnant desire."  There's no word what it actually smells like. Probably stale beer and bad decisions.  I think he’s just clowning us at this point, Burnt Hair isn't officially out until early next year, but Musk claims he's already sold 10,000 bottles.

Mark Wahlberg has moved his family from Hollywood to Nevada.  He says it allowed him to, quote, "give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams," and it, quote, "made a lot more sense for us." I’m sure taxes are cheaper too…

I couldn’t lift my heel off the bed and I vowed, if I was ever able to get up, walk around and move again, that I would take advantage of movement, exercise and of being able to be fully in my body.

Jelly Roll tells Music Mayhem magazine that he has settled his beef with Waffle House. "We were going back and forth for a while. I can't even remember why right now. I gave in and started eating there again. I must admit, I buckled. It was hard to carry the beef on for too long. I'm such a fan. And their food is so good!"

Stanley Tucci came in 2^nd, Jason Statham 6th Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson 9^th out of 10.
