We all have our favorite Christmas movies..I myself like Die Hard…but Chase Rice what does HE like to watch … “I’m a big fan of Elf. I know it’s not a classic yet, it’s not old enough I guess to be a classic, but one that I grew up on was Home Alone.

Martha Stewart tells Drew Barrymore that she has a sure-fire way to get rid of holiday dinner guests. “Frankly I just say, ‘I’m going to bed I’ll see you.’ I do, I just say that.

Jason Momoa tells CBS that he thinks the end might be near for Aquaman. “I don’t necessarily want it to be the end… but I don’t think it’s really, like, a choice.

Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
