Welcome to The List,

Thinking about starting a band?  Sometimes the hardest part is the promotions….Just ask Parmalee Star Matt Thomas On The Funny Ways The Band Promoted Themselves When They Were Starting Out ... “We were relentless about promotions.  We’d ride around with stickers on our cars, we even rented one of those signs in our front yard with the big flashing arrow that said Parmalee Friday night at the club.  My dad would pull it around in his blue Ford pickup truck.”

In a surprise twist, Pixar and Disney’s new movie Lightyear lost Father’s Day weekend and failed to holdover Jurassic World Dominion at the domestic box office.  Lightyear was expected to top the chart with a $70 million to $85 million opening.

The things that we do for art….and authenticity…In a new interview, Faith Hill said she was forced to let her armpit hair grow out before filming "1883".  "Taylor called my husband.  We were at our nephew's wedding, and he said, 'Who's gonna be the one to tell your wife that she has to stop shaving under her arms?' "And I'm thinking, 'What?  We're at a wedding.  Can this wait?'  He goes, 'No, stop tonight.'  That was three months  before filming. She thought maybe they could just tape something on…but no…it really grossed her out.

Welcome to The List,

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were walking to their car in New York City on Wednesday night, and fans were crowding around them, trying to get autographs and selfies.  One guy got too close, and actually TRIPPED Rita.  Tom stopped, turned back toward the crowd, and yelled, quote, "This is my wife.  Back the [eff] off!"  Being yelled at by Tom Hanks is like being yelled at by the one parent who never raises their voice, or that teacher you always thought loved you.  It's not scary, but it's shocking . . . and it hurts
