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.

If you’re a fan of ‘The Conners’, Billboard magazine says Jimmie Allen is going to guest star but his role is being kept a secret….and lastly Halloween Ends did well over the weekend although it didn’t make as much as the first two original movies….

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.
-----
Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
