1. "Weird Al", John Stamos, and a "Stranger Things" Kid Are Doing a "Willy Wonka" Concert
"WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC is teaming up with JOHN STAMOS and FINN WOLFHARD from "It" and "Stranger Things" to do a live, in-concert version of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".
Sadly, for now they're only performing it twice at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. on November 3rd and 4th. But if it's a huge success, who knows.
You know Finn as Mike Wheeler, the kid who had a crush on Eleven in "Stranger Things". He's playing Charlie Bucket in the concert, and Stamos will be singing "Pure Imagination" as Willy Wonka with "Weird Al" as the Oompa Loompas.
They're the biggest stars, but other cast members have been announced . . . including Giancarlo Esposito from "Breaking Bad", singer Elle King, and Richard Kind from "Mad About You" and "Spin City".
Even cooler, the show will be presented in 'Smell-O-Rama,' so the crowd will be "presented with exclusive Scratch-N-Sniff Golden Tickets."
2. Linda Hamilton is Coming Back for "Terminator 6"!
Here's how serious JAMES CAMERON is about making his new "Terminator" movie something special: He's even bringing back his ex-wife, LINDA HAMILTON!
Linda was in the first two movies, playing Sarah Connor, who goes from being a victim to a bad-ass robot fighter over the course of them.
She's 60 now . . . which Cameron sees as a PLUS. Quote, "It's going to make a huge statement to have that seasoned warrior that she’s become return.
"There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys, but there isn't an example of that for women."
The new movie will be a direct sequel to 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", which is also the last movie Cameron was involved with. And ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER will be in it, of course.
3. TOM MORELLO, NANCY WILSON, and PAUL SHAFFER led an all-star rendition of JOHN LENNON's "Power to the People" at the Global Citizen Live concert in New York City on Monday.
4. Check out the first "Tomb Raider" trailer, starring Alicia Vikander as a young Lara Croft.
The trailer premiered last night on "The Late Late Show", and the movie is hitting theaters in March.
