People aren’t having a difficult time wrapping their head around the prospect of Linkin Park reinventing itself. They are having a hard time wrapping their head around how you 1) Hired your friend of many years [Armstrong] to replace [Chester] knowing Emily’s history in the church and her history as an ally to [Masterson]."

MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:

RIP: Legendary actor James Earl Jones -- perhaps best known as the voice of Darth Vader and "This is CNN" -- has died. He was 93.

Born Todd Jones on January 17th, 1931 in rural Mississippi, Jones was raised in Michigan by his maternal grandparents. He was of African, Irish and Native American descent. As a child, he developed a severe stutter and avoided speaking whenever possible. A high school teacher helped him overcome his impairment by forcing him to recite poetry. After graduating, Jones spent four years at the University of Michigan but left school before earning his degree. He then spent a few years in the Army stationed in Colorado.

Jones began his acting career in a theater in Manistee, Michigan, first playing Othello there in 1955. His film debut came with 1964’s Dr. Strangelove. He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for playing Jack Jefferson in 1970’s The Great White Hope, losing to George C. Scott for Patton.

Jones became a superstar in a film in which he never appeared -- voicing Darth Vader in 1977’s Star Wars. He asked that he go uncredited in that film and its sequel, 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back, reasoning that he was simply part of the special effects. He relented for 1983’s Return of the Jedi.

Jones’s other memorable films include the Eddie Murphy comedy Coming to America, the baseball drama Field of Dreams and the military thrillers The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games. He also voiced Mufasa in the 1994 Disney hit The Lion King.

A British newspaper alleges that a sequel to "The Goonies" is in the works. The original cast will supposedly return, and they'll film it next year and release it sometime in 2026 or 2027. ·

Nate Bargatze is doing a holiday variety special for CBS. The top-earning comic will film the Lorne Michaels-produced hour at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville last this year.
