Daniel Radcliffe isn't ready to put his Hogwarts robes back on

Daniel Radcliffe says he's not interested in returning to the Harry Potter universe…yet.

There have been talks of adapting the Broadway play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" into a film.

In an interview with the New York Times, Radcliffe says he's not interested in reprising his Harry Potter role, at least not right now.

In an interview with the New York Times, he said, "I'm getting to a point where I feel like I made it out of Potter OK and I'm really happy with where I am now, and to go back would be such a massive change to my life."

He went on to explain that not enough time has passed.

"The Star Wars guys had like 30-40 years before they went back. For me, it's only been ten."

Radcliffe has been on a media tour promoting his new film "The Lost City" with co-stars Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum.

Dolly Parton is still on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ballot

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will keep Dolly Parton on their nominee list.

The Queen of Country asked to have her name removed from the nominee list because she didn't feel she earned the right.

Last week she explained, "I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out."

However, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation says it's too late to remove her name. They've already sent out her name with sixteen other nominees to 1200 voters.

In a statement, the foundation said, "Rock-and-roll is not defined by any one genre, rather a sound that moves youth culture."

"Dolly Parton's music impacted a generation of young fans and influenced countless artists that followed," they added.

Other Country stars inducted include Brenda Lee, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Hank Williams, and the Everly Brothers.

Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks to the Russian People

Arnold Schwarzenegger is reaching out to the Russian people.

The Hollywood legend says he felt it important to address the propaganda their own government has been feeding them.

He starts his video by saying, "I'm sending this message through various channels to reach my dear Russian friends and the Russian soldiers serving in Ukraine."

He explains things are going on in the world that are being kept from you.

"Your government has told you that this is a war to denazify Ukraine. This is not true. Ukraine is a country with a Jewish president whose father and three brothers were all murdered by the Nazis."

The 74-year-old also talked about his love for the Russian people and how his childhood hero was Russian weightlifter Yuri Petrovich Vlasov.

Schwarzenegger also shared that his father was a Nazi in WWII.

"To the Russian soldiers listening, you already know the truth I've been speaking. I don't want you to be broken like my father." he said.
