Welcome to The List,

Everyone from time to time needs their space….Aaron Rodgers is no different.  He’s reportedly doing a four-day darkness retreat to decide his future in the NFL.  He'll be in complete isolation four days of sensory deprivation, so no TV or music.  But yes, he IS going to continue to play football.

In case you missed it, Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon had their red-carpet premiere for their upcoming Netflix movie, "Your Place or Mine".  And the photos are, well, AWKWARD. Ashton and Reese kept their distance and just stood side-by-side; Ashton wanted to avoid affair rumors. The rumor is we don't like each other."  When in fact Reese and I are really good friends.  We're really close.  I don't have to defend that."

Zach Bryan's Twitter account mysteriously disappeared on Monday, and nobody knows why.  This is a guy who loves Tweeting out his opinions and hot takes. He could be pulling a Taylor Swift, she wiped her social media before rolling out new music a few years ago. Whatever the reason, the timing is weird because he's got a lot going on.  "Something in the Orange" is a massive hit . . . his Burn, Burn, Burn tour is about to start . . . and his beloved Philadelphia Eagles are in the Super Bowl.

Maybe you saw it yesterday on social media, Luke Combs unveiling the track list to his new album “Gettin’ Old”.  He had a hand in writing most of the tracks, but it also includes his cover of the Tracy Chapman classic "Fast Car", "Gettin' Old" is out March 24^th.

-----

The next Mission Impossible movie has been put on hold so Tom Cruise can attend King Charles’ coronation May 6^th. ''Tom has been invited and there is no way he would have ever turned it down. It shocked some people on the film, because Tom is so dedicated and ­normally wouldn’t deviate from his intense production schedules. But something as important as King Charles's Coronation is something he would not want to miss out on.

Welcome to The List,

Buzzfeed tossed out the names of 50 celebrities . . . and asked people if they have a POSTIVE or NEGATIVE opinion of them at the moment.  Some of the most highly regarded celebrities are not surprising. Keanu Reeves and Danny DeVito, Dolly Parton and Ryan Reynolds were at the top of the ‘Positive” opinion list and at the very bottom? Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos from Amazon.

AMC will soon start charging different prices for movie tickets, depending on where your SEAT is.  The good ones in the middle will cost more, while the worst ones, like the front row, will cost less.  Here I thought they were trying to get people to come BACK to the theater.

-----

Is “Yellowstone” ending this summer?  Kevin Costner might be leaving "Yellowstone", due to scheduling conflicts. That could lead to the original "Yellowstone" coming to an end when Season Five wraps later this year.  For now, it’s just a rumor, but if that happens there's talk of a possible spinoff with Matthew McConaughey.

When you’ve been in a men’s magazine, were part of a TV show, a movie, and married to one of the biggest rockstars in the world…you then get a documentary made about you…a book based off the same documentary…what’s next?  The Daily Mail says Pamela Anderson is getting her own cooking show titled ''Pamela's Cooking With Love". The series will originate from her home in Canada. The Food Network has ordered eight episodes. Pamela will be cooking plant-based meals.

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. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” I think we all need to slow down every once in a while, and appreciate the world around us and the people in it."

-----

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.

Welcome to The List,

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.
