“The Shining” turns 45 this year, so to celebrate, you can catch a screening of it at the REAL Overlook Hotel.  You just have to travel to Mount Hood, Oregon, first. The hotel you see in the movie is the Timberline Lodge.  It was only used for the EXTERIOR shots.  The interior was filmed at a studio in England.

There’s a certain “Friends” quote that people still yell at David Schwimmer . . . and it can be pretty jarring.  It’s obviously gonna be one of two things:  Either “We were on a break,” or “Pivot!”
(Here’s video.  It was on “Good Morning America”.)

The Daily Mail says Zendaya and fiancé Tom Holland got matching tattoos of each other’s initials at a tattoo studio in Massachusetts. A source confirmed the couple went together with a plan for small and discreet tattoos. While Zendaya showed off her ‘T’ tattoo at the Golden Globes, Holland’s ‘Z’ tattoo remains hidden on his rib cage.

Tubi is streaming a movie called “African American Psycho: The Hip Hop Freak”, and the main character’s name is B-City.  I wonder who the inspiration was?

“Holes” . . . the novel that was turned into a movie starring Shia LaBeouf, will now become a TV series at Disney+

A radio host asked Zach Top to name ’90s country stars just by looking at photos of their mustache, and he got every single one right. (Here’s the video.  Props to our good friends Nick & Kristen in the Morning on 99.5 The Wolf.  Fun idea, Nick!  Glad you didn’t go easy on him.  Aaron Tippin was tough!)

Riley Green said Jelly Roll wouldn’t be a good hunting partner because, quote, “He’s a pretty jovial guy . . . so I don’t know if he can be still and quiet enough.” (You can watch more of Riley’s video from the hospital, here and here.)

RadarOnline.com says Jennifer Lopez allegedly feels trapped in the $68 million mansion she shared with ex Ben Affleck. An insider says, “She can’t wait to get out of that house. The house is like a noose around her neck – she feels trapped. She walks around and feels all the bad memories. Not even her weird voodoo magic has helped. The place still has imprints of Ben everywhere. So when she sees the indoor basketball and pickleball courts and the sports lounge where Ben hung out, she wants to scream. The kitchen annoys her because Ben used to make breakfast for the kids there sometimes. Jennifer assumed someone would snap it up, especially after the renovations and personal touches she added, but nothing’s happened.’’

Geo TV says Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are allegedly considering moving to Los Angeles in 2025. An insider says, “Meghan does have friends at the Polo Club and a very exclusive group of other celebs and Hollywood types that they hang around. Meghan still loves Montecito, she always says how gorgeous it is, but the neighborhood vibe isn’t totally her speed. As gorgeous as Montecito is, it does have a very small-town vibe. Montecito is actually a vacation spot for a lot of people from L.A., so a lot of Meghan’s friends there aren’t around full time.’’
