Welcome to The List,
Death Comes in Threes? Maggie Smith from “Harry Potter”, John Ashton from “Beverly Hills Cop”, and Kris Kristofferson…depending on who you arbitrarily decide to count. But we basically suffered three MAJOR losses: Maggie her latest roll was as Professor Minerva McGonagall. She was 89 years old, and there’s no word on the cause of death. John Ashton was best known . . . and let’s be honest, he was kind of ONLY known . . . for playing Detective Sergeant John Taggert in the “Beverly Hills Cop” movies. He died Thursday after a brief battle with cancer. He was 76. Country music legend Kris Kristofferson passed away peacefully Saturday at his home in Hawaii, surrounded by family. No cause of death was given. He was 88 years old.

Welcome to The List,
Tim McGraw is not a “comedy guy” he doesn’t watch comedy movies but we asked if he had to pick one guy… “George Carlin. He was always my favorite. Anytime I’m flipping through channels, and they have some old stuff with George Carlin and I sit and watch, and he’ll make me laugh.” Lately he and Faith every once in a while will catch an episode of All in the Family adding Archie Bunker makes him laugh pretty hard…

Henry Winkler tells PEOPLE magazine that he turned down the role of Danny Zuko in ‘’Grease’’ because he feared being typecast. He thought he had played the Fonz for 10 years. He just didn’t want to do that in the movies too…He feared he’d be “typecast and never work again…

Your four-year-old is psyched right now, The Wiggles just went Country. They got a new truck. And in true Country fashion, they wrote a song about it. They replaced their "Big Red Car" with a big red truck. It's called "Big Red Ute" (yoot) . . . Aussie slang for a utility vehicle. Maybe DON'T tell your kid about the song, though. Because if they love it, you're in big trouble. It's the kind of thing you only want to hear once, and even that might be too much.

Jennifer Lopez is "not looking for anybody" after her divorce from Ben Affleck. She says, ": There's no new bar because I'm not looking for anybody. Because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I do when it's just me flying on my own?" It’s probably best for all the single men out there too.
