This might sound odd, especially considering WE grew up with these amazing actors: Tom Cruise (Top Gun: Maverick) has received a Best Actor nomination from the AARP Awards. Other nominees for Best Actor include Brendan Fraser (The Whale), Tom Hanks (A Man Called Otto), Bill Nighy (Living) and Adam Sandler (Hustle). The magazine honors those over 50. The AARP Awards will happen January 28th in Beverly Hills.

Paul Stanley says there's no way KISS can perform much longer because of their ages. “If we were wearing sneakers and T-shirts and jeans, we could do this into our 90s. But we’re carrying around 30, 40, 50 pounds of gear on stage, and making it look easy. And at some point, you realize you can’t do that indefinitely.” Which always takes us back to the Rolling Stones - though no make up, no platform boots!

Does Bruce Springsteen sleep next to his guitar? In a recent interview, he said it's true! He says, " I have done that. In case you dream up a song, you can immediately wake up and record it.'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's documentary series has set a Netflix record for viewership.  In the last episodes of "Harry & Meghan", Meghan Markle got emotional while talking about what the tabloids and social media have done to her.  She said, "You are making people want to kill me. It's not just a tabloid.  t's not just some story.  You are making me scared."

Zoe Saldana learned how to hold her breath for over two minutes while preparing for "Avatar: The Way of Water" It is out today!

This is a bummer - CNN has canceled Stanley Tucci's "Searching for Italy".

New movies entering the National Film Registry include: "When Harry Met Sally", "Iron Man", "The Little Mermaid", "Hairspray", "House Party", "Carrie", and, "Super Fly"!  Under the terms of the National Film Preservation Act, the librarian each year names 25 motion pictures at least 10 years old that are “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant. There are now 850 films in the registry.

That's my take!
