Welcome to The List,
People magazine says ‘Star Wars’ star Mark Hamill recently celebrated his 44th wedding anniversary. Mark paid tribute to his wife, Marilou, by saying, “44 years. Thank you for saying yes. And thank you for never getting tired of my shenanigans.” Please give back my lightsaber……

TMZ says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want to have a sit-down with the Royal Family. A source says they want to air out some grievances that came to light in their docu-series, ‘Harry and Meghan’. Harry and Meghan feel the Royals never addressed the problems they had head-on, nor did they ever own up to anything….The docu-series received 81.55 Million views on Netflix…seems to me it was “aired out” pretty well!!

Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
