Chuck Norris has died at the age of 86. We were talking on Friday morning about how he was hospitalized and it seemed to be in good spirits. Well, that wasn't the case. He passed away peacefully on Thursday, following a recent medical emergency and hospitalization in Hawaii. So Friday morning when we were saying that he was dead? Yes. Now, the family is keeping the circumstances private at this time, but they praised his character and highlighted his life of faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved.

I will never watch the Handmaid's Tale. No, there will I have no interest. Sometimes I stumble into something that's dark
and it just works out, but knowing in advance, I'm like, I don't know how to do that. And finally, Adam Sandler, officially Hollywood's highest paid after for 2025, bringing in $48 million. Tom Cruise and Mark Wahlberg came in second and third place and a 22 year old Millie Bobby Brown made history as the youngest actor to ever craft the ranking. It was. What movies were any of them in?
