The top entertainment headlines for Tuesday December 20, 2022.

<div class="block"><b>JACK RYAN RETURNS</b></div><div class="block">The third season of <i>Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan</i>&nbsp;is returning to Amazon Prime Video after a three-year hiatus. The series, starring John Krasinski, shut down during the pandemic and is now reemerging amid a very different geopolitical situation. The latest season concerns a Russian plot to invade neighboring countries. However, production wrapped long before the actual Russian invasion of Ukraine, which might cause some cognitive dissonance for viewers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div class="block"><b>TOM CRUISE JUMPS OFF A CLIFF&nbsp;</b></div><div class="block">A new featurette from the upcoming <i>Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One</i>&nbsp;just dropped, and it shows Tom Cruise preparing for what the action star calls "far and away the most dangerous thing we've ever attempted." While the mechanics of the stunt are complex to say the least, Cruise in the video explains how he will ride a motorcycle off a cliff, and then BASE jump the rest of the way. Such videos are becoming their own genre for Cruise, who, in another promo, is shown standing on the outside of an airplane as it plunges toward the earth.&nbsp;</div>

Every november december Mariah Carey's gonna be, by the way, we're gonna talk more about Mariah Carey and the money that she makes on this later on the show. This is one of my favorite topics D. C. Studios co Ceo James Gunn is responding to all that backlash from fans over his planned changes for the future of the Dc universe. In a series of tweets the filmmaker referred to the criticism he has received as a victorious and unkind and it doesn't seem like the negative comments will influence guns decision at all. He tweeted this disrespectful outcry will never ever affect our actions. This comes days after Gun of course announced Henry cavill will not return a superman Wonder woman has been canceled. The thing is James Gunn has proven himself and I'm a big fan you know that I'm excited to see where it goes. He he's very prolific on twitter responding to fan reaction to this. You mentioned that he said disrespectful outcry will never affect her action. He also goes on to say no one loves to be harassed called names but to be frank we've been through significantly worse but he knows the pressure is on him to really deliver which is why he is writing the superman script all on his own on this particular instance. He knows if he doesn't have a hit he's off on the wrong track already and D. C. People already kind of have a on a short leash so he kind of has to really sort of nail it here already. Time now. Friends Ahead to the trailer park. This is where we give you your first look at some of the new shows and movies out there and a new rom com giving us our very own version of the Avengers. Yeah, we're talking Diane Keaton and Richard Gere starred as a married couple, each having an affair with another married couple. This married couple is played by Susan Sarandon and William H Macy and now their kids are making things even more complicated. Look at this. Hey, you can't kill me now I've got company. That's what I'm the company. That's my son Alan who's with your wife holding your daughter, would anyone care for a drink? All right, so maybe I do is hitting theaters january 27th and also as I mentioned has Emma roberts and luke Bracey and this as well, this has like every layer of rom com that is like so perfect to it basically. Married couple having an affair with another married couple who doesn't even know about it yet, their kids are getting married. I mean there's just like the just like nancy Meyers, perfect, really iconic actors too. I mean this, this cast is amazing, I mean old geez and elsewhere in the trailer park, it's more Diane Keaton, she's been busy. She's going on an italian bachelorette with jane fonda. Candice Bergen mary Steenburgen in book club to check it out and it's the surprises that make it worth living. Chef johnny says if you would like, you should see his cucina. I'm sorry. C is cucina, it means kitchen, I bet it's big. Just don't do anything I would do. That's actually really good advice. The wigs are great in this one. The film is Peter's made 12 I think everyone was so surprised how well Book Club did well. Did that come out in the 19? No, it didn't. It came out just a few years ago. It had 100 yes, it grossed out $100 million and no one was expecting on a $14 million budget. I mean that is a winning successful formula. So clearly they've been able to sort of take that and sort of go to the next level. If you forget by the way about Book Club, you'd be remiss that it was around the time that 50 shades of gray was really hot and that was because the women had read 50 shades of gray and became so like turned on by that they go and basically like lived his new life. Tom cruise has climbed the tallest building in the world. He has jumped out of planes and he has held his breath for over six minutes. But now a new behind the scenes video from the set of Mission Impossible Dead reckoning Part one shows, crews performing what paramount is calling the biggest stunt in cinema history. Look at this. Yeah, that's the people that is a real sky. Yeah, the next chapter in the Mission Impossible franchise in theaters, july 14th. He has apparently they say this in the video and he's like baffling to think about, he has done 500 Skydives practicing for this 13,000 motocross jumps all to finesse all the The tricks that they're doing in this. And they also say the hardest part is to get the cameras close to him. His biggest worry in this is that he's going to hit the drones when he's jumping off. He is so it's really impressive. I think this makes him very cool, literally I could jump maybe out of a plane once but 500 times is crazy jumping on the couch, Oprah style, crazy by the way, I forgot about that, by the way that snippet can't wait to watch to watch and while avatar, the way of water has been promoted everywhere. The movie does still contain a few surprises, including Edie Falco as the villainous General Ardmore. Another surprise that the movie was just released. I'm gonna let the Emmy winner explain here, I shot I think four years ago and then I've been busy, I'm doing stuff and then somebody mentioned avatar and I thought, oh I guess it came out and do very well cause I didn't hear anything so that it happens, you know, and then somebody recently said, oh avatar is coming out so it hasn't come out yet. Also Falco revealed she has yet to see the movie. I love this story. She's like, it was four years ago. I moved on. I don't know what you think of how many movies and tv projects and so many of the things that she has filmed in the last four years. I mean I can barely remember what I did yesterday, let alone you know an interview you and I did four years ago. So to think that they were already working on this that long ago that they would have filmed her stuff is hilarious. What a nice surprise for what a nice surprise for her to be like, oh yes, that movie. Oh yes, I remember that one. Meanwhile, new york magazine calling 2022 the year of the nepo baby and that's a story that is dividing the interwebs. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars like Dakota johnson, Ben Platt and Zoe Kravitz on the cover and they all happen to be Children of entertainment royalty. This is not the first time offspring of famous people have been criticized for having an easier path to success. But singer and actor lily Allen, who was the daughter of an actor and a film producer, she's defending her fellow NEpo babies. She tweeted the nipple babies, y'all should be worrying about are the ones working for legal firms. Banks and in politics, I don't know if I necessarily agree with what she's saying, like give the Hollywood babies like you know, don't go on that because like I said, they're not as important as politicians and all that stuff, but still like Hollywood is still a very, very big important industry and it's all about relationships and it's all about connections and if you're you have a famous family member, it obviously gives you a huge leg up, but also babies is nothing, it's not new, it's not new, This has been going on forever, jennifer Aniston is a nepo baby, tons of people are like that. Here's the thing though, the people on that cover for example are very talented, I'm sure they got their opportunity a lot easier than me and that's not to say that they're not talented. I mean, Ben Platt is incredibly talented, Dakota johnson, incredibly absolutely, and we hope H and M has a good is it too late to say sorry, joke because the retailer Mayo Justin Bieber a huge apology, the singer is calling out the clothing company for selling products featuring his image and song lyrics without his permission. The peaches artist writing on instagram, The H and M merch they made of me is trash and I didn't approve it, don't buy it, Tell me how you feel, just trash and I don't approve of it. That's gonna be my new housewife candy. That is copyright infringement, but it's clear so H and M is defending this, saying that they went through the proper channels, so it must be some sort of third party or somebody working within Bieber's organization, that must have given them the all clear. But clearly Justin Bieber was not part of this conversation whatsoever. So my response to this would be and I'm sure H and M is saying this to him, talk to your people because clearly we would not have gone with this if this was not approved in some sort of channel here. Alright. Meanwhile, if anybody knows how to throw a party, it's got to be the Hilton's paris Hilton gracing us with some pictures from her mom's star studded holiday gallery, kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Paula Abdul and Heidi klum, I'll make an appearance, some went for more casual looks as other, went for more festive cocktail attire, we mean cash, I don't know if we have a photo, kim Kardashian, kim Kardashian is the most casual out of all of the people on this, but it's funny because it's usually the opposite with kim Kardashian, remember remember during Halloween, just this last Halloween birthday party, everybody else was in casual attire and kim Kardashian was like in a Halloween costume, this is basically flipping the switch or the script here. Oh, I don't know, I don't look, I don't want to read too much into this, but look, Kathy Hilton, there's a lot of conversation going on right now, if she is going to stay on the real housewives franchise, given her fight that she had with lisa Rinna, so the fact that she is still out gracing us with her with her, you know, her presence and she's still hanging out with kris Jenner who has always been rumored to join the housewives, also really interesting.
