“Variety” ranks the original “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” as the best horror movie of all time. It’s followed by “The Exorcist” and “Psycho”.  I have a list of their 100 best horror movies of all time. (You can see the complete list at Variety.com.)

If visiting horror movie locations is part of your Halloween tradition, here are the 10 most popular, as determined by Google searches:

The News International says Ryan Gosling’s salary demands for the upcoming ‘Barbie’ sequel are sky-high. Negotiations are tense because Gosling is insisting on a significant pay increase. An insider says, “Ryan understands just how integral Ken became to the film’s popularity. He knows the impact he had on audiences and is making it clear the sequel won’t be the same without him.” The website says Ryan earned $12.5 million for the first Barbie movie while co-star Margot Robbie took home $50 million plus profits.

Jelly Roll has an amazing work ethic.  He even said recently, that he wants to sing for people forever.  So, it seems like he has no intention of slowing down. But it was still shocking to hear how many songs Jelly wrote for his new album, “Beautifully Broken”, which came out TODAY. (Friday) I think there are 22 songs on the album, but he said he wrote maybe 150 plus trying to figure the album out. 150!!!! That’s WILD!!!   He went on to say, “I’ve never been so inspired, though.  I was getting so many stories . . . I’m at gas stations and red carpets and I’m hearing life stories from people, really inspiring stories.”  (You can still see Jelly on his “Beautifully Broken” tour through November.  Check out more info, here.)

Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves reunited for a 30th anniversary screening of “Speed”, followed by a Q&A.

So it turns out Kathy Bates never meant to insinuate that she was retiring after “Matlock”. 

Hugh Jackman is doing a 12-date residency at Radio City Music Hall.  No, Ryan Reynolds isn’t in the show, but he did help Hugh announce it.

Taylor Swift seems obsessed with Brittany Mahomes’ baby bump.  Should we infer anything from this?  (Obviously not, but I can just see the “Brittany Is Making Taylor Baby-Crazy!” headlines now.)

Melissa Joan Hart reunited with her “Sabrina” aunts at a place called The Witchery.
