The List for Friday, June 17th 2022

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

Luke Combs’ new album, “Growin’ Up”, is out next week.  The sound will be 100% Luke, although it’ll be missing something that’s dear to his heart.  He tells “The New York Times” that there are no beer songs on it. There are references to his favorite beverage, but no songs about it.  It’s because the album reflects how his life has been changing.

Beavis and Butthead Do the Universe” hits Paramount+ next week . ., and Beavis and Butthead aren’t limiting themselves to music videos.  They’ll also comment on clips from YouTube and TikTok. Creator Mike Judge says, quote, “There’s just so much to watch.

Chris Hemsworth says he’s still getting in shape to play Hulk Hogan.”Todd Phillips is busy doing Joker 2  and he’s been off doing other films like ‘Thor Love and Thunder’ which is in theaters July 7th.  It’s all in conversations and in development, a lot of things need to come together for it to happen. He doesn’t  have 24-inch pythons… yet.”

Jackson Dean comes from a very broad musical background.  The ‘Don’t Come Lookin’ singer tells Entertaiment-Focus.com There was always music being played in the house.  Hank Jr, David Allan Coe and older Country artists like that. There was a lot of Blues music and then bands like the Allman Brothers, The Band and on into stuff like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC too. Sounds pretty well rounded…
