The man who jumped onstage at the Hollywood Bowl and attacked Dave Chappelle has been sentenced to 270 days in jail.  That's nine months for you non-math majors. 24-year-old Isaiah Lee plead no contest to misdemeanor counts of battery and entering a restricted area during a live event. He tackled Dave in the middle of a show on May 3rd, then ran offstage.  But security ran him down and tuned him up pretty good.  He's also facing an attempted murder charge for allegedly stabbing his roommate.

Welcome to The List,

"Avatar: The Way of Water" opens this weekend . . . and not surprisingly, it should open BIG. Estimates are putting it at $150 million to $175 million in the U.S., with a global debut of $450 million to $550 million. The movie is over three hours long, which means fewer showings . . . but at the same time, it really doesn't have any competition this weekend. "The Way of Water" cost around $400 million to make BEFORE you factor in marketing.
