Jimmy Buffett Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress has issued its annual list of 25 recordings that will be added to the esteemed list, covering a range that runs a gamut from the very first time mariachi music was captured for posterity in the early 1900s to Daddy Yankee’s “Carolina” about a hundred years later. In-between are some curiosities and monster hits that the Library deems worthy of preservation for all time — although, in the case of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” the prospect of it the recording falling into disrepair due to neglect will probably not be an issue any century soon.

Harrison Ford's in-flight air history with vintage planes is so shaky this his wife, Calista Flockhart, refuses to fly with him. She will, though, fly with the "Indiana Jones" star when he pilots other aircraft. Calista's reluctance is based on multiple incidents Harrison has had over the years, particularly his 2015 crash onto a Southern California golf course. In that incident, the acting icon broke his arm and suffered head injuries after crash landing his World War II-era airplane on a fairway at Santa Monica's Penmar Golf Course following an engine failure."My wife does not fly with me in vintage airplanes anymore — she will in others," he told The Hollywood Reporter.
