Star Wars fans not impressed at price for a Mark Hamill autograph
Mark Hamill, known for his role as Luke Skywalker, is reportedly charging fans a minimum of $400 for an autograph.
Prices for his autographs at a FanExpo event were listed as $400 for an 8x10 photo, $500 for a premium autograph, and $700 for a 'bulky' autograph.
The high cost of the autographs has generated significant discussion and criticism among fans on Reddit, with many expressing unwillingness to pay.
Some online commenters defended the pricing, suggesting it could be a strategy to deter resellers or manage interactions with overly enthusiastic fans.
Hamill recently shared an anecdote about his late co-star Carrie Fisher, who once urged him to embrace his Star Wars fame after he omitted it from his Broadway biography.

Bella Thorne lists her massive 10-acre Los Angeles property for $4M
Bella Thorne is parting ways with her Topanga Canyon mansion, which she purchased in 2019. The 27-year-old actress has listed the residence for $3,995,000, according to TMZ. The former child star — who made a Paris Fashion Week appearance in March — paid $3.3 million for the hilltop home, which has five bedrooms and is nestled between Malibu and Calabasas. Thorne's luxury Spanish mountaintop compound extends across 10 acres, with luscious landscape surrounding the entire property. Sweeping canyon views can be enjoyed from the long and winding driveway that leads to the 6,654 sq ft estate. Built in 2014, the gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances and a large Madre Perla Quartzite island. Also in the space are a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual dishwashers. The bottom floor of the home boasts Spanish tiles throughout, with modern touches adding classic elements to the estate. Luxury abounds in the main home, with an impressive two-story living room offering ample natural light. Each of the bedrooms offers an en-suite bathroom, including the stunning master suite with a stand-alone bathtub and double vanity. Paradise awaits directly outside the backdoor with a built-in barbecue and fire pit for prime entertaining.

In addition to a four-car garage, the property also includes a 700 sq ft guest house steps away from the main structure. A unique aspect of the house is its oversize floral installation in the main entryway, which flows up the staircase. The art was designed by revered florist Kristen Alpaugh, and the next buyer gets to keep it, per TMZ's report. Jason Oppenheim of Netflix's Selling Sunset fame is handling the listing. It's unknown why Bella is letting go of the estate after six years.

Married to Real Estate hosts Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson lash out after their show was canceled during a vacation
Married to Real Estate hosts Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson are breaking their silence after HGTV canceled their beloved show. The married couple launched the show in 2022, following them as they balance their personal and professional lives as they help clients in Atlanta land their dream homes. The show wrapped up its fourth season back in late May, with the third season pulling in 16.6 million viewers, though it seems HGTV decided to cancel it while the couple was on vacation. The couple released a joint statement on their respective Instagram accounts, though Jackson made it quite clear on his Instagram story that he was not pleased with how it happened, while hinting at a working environment that was not ideal. 'I can't front. I'm a bit tight and disappointed. If y'all only knew what we have to put up with and endure,' he said in an Instagram story slide. He also shared a number of clips from the show, along with a video of him and his wife dressed for a formal affair, captioned, 'We got us,' and a slide that read, 'Either WE building or I'M building. Either way, it's getting built.' The couple's official statement on the matter from Egypt was more cordial, though it hinted there was much more they had to say in the future. 'Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we're met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate,' the joint statement began. 'While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful,' the statement continued. 'Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive,' they added. 'And most of all-grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other),' they said of their marriage, as they get ready to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary in September. They also hinted at some acrimony with HGTV, indicating while the cancellation was a surprise, it may have also been a blessing in disguise. 'There's more to say, and we'll share soon. But for now, know this: not all setbacks are what they seem. Some blessings show up in disguise,' they added. 'We've been here before. We'll keep counting those blessings-and keep it moving. Stay tuned,' the statement concluded. They also hinted at some acrimony with HGTV, indicating while the cancellation was a surprise, it may have also been a blessing in disguise The post was captioned, 'Sometimes GOD will rip you out of a situation to set you up for your next!' Sherrod is the CEO of the Egypt Sherrod Real Estate Group, while Jackson is the owner of Jackson Draper Renovations. They both served as judges on HGTV's Rock the Block in Season 2, and competed themselves in Season 3, prevailing as champions.

On Monday, reported that Katy and Orlando were renting out their $30 million mansion in Montecito, California, to Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, which only intensified rumors of a breakup. 'Her and Orlando have always lived in their other Montecito home as their primary residence,' Us Weekly's source said. They said the allegedly split couple had intended to establish the rented mansion as 'their family home' before the situation changed. They added that Katy and Orlando have 'been living apart since Katy has been on tour.'

In the film, they played elder citizens from the year 2055 warning people from the past to 'save democracy while you can' to raise awareness about the For the People Act, which would expand voting rights in America and change campaign finance laws. During their appearance, they also gave a shoutout to their daughter, then just nine months old, and said: 'Tell Daisy we love her.' Earlier this month, People claimed Perry's poorly performing album 143 had caused 'tension' in her relationship with her fiancé. The singer's seventh studio album was released in September 2024 and received a largely negative response from fans and critics alike, who claimed the record sounds as if it was 'generated through AI.' 'The rumors of a rough patch are true, but it's not at the point of no return,' an insider previously told 'They know they must fix things, and they both want to figure it out. 'They haven't been able to sit down and work on some of their issues. A breakup isn't imminent, but they both know that they should focus on their relationship before it does become too late.' 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed,' a source told the outlet earlier this month. 'Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,' the insider added. Another source shared: 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Meanwhile, an insider recently told 'Katy has been through it the last few months. 'Leaving American Idol, releasing her lackluster album, the debacle over her space mission, and her struggling tour have been disappointing and stressful,' the insider said. 'There aren't many people she can dump her emotions on, but obviously she can with Orlando. But with his work and juggling parenting, life as of late has put a strain on their relationship,' the source added.
