Here's how much Kevin McCallister’s famous 1992 The Plaza Hotel stay from “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” would cost if it happened in 2025. New York Post

Kevin’s original 1992 bill — a fancy Plaza hotel suite plus room-service, snacks and desserts — came to about $2,109.

But thanks to inflation and the sneak-up in luxury prices, that same night in 2025 would set you back roughly $8,511.

Breaking it down: the suite now runs about $6,244 per night (versus $1,100 in 1992), and even the iconic room-service splurge — the feast that shocked everyone in the movie — now costs over $2,233.

As for the sweet cherry on top: the 16-scoop sundae that once rang in at $18 would now cost $24 — though the hotel now offers a nostalgia “Home Alone Sundae” for big spenders, with prices far steeper than Kevin’s original treat.

Bottom line: what looked like wild kid-spending in 1992 is now next-level luxe — making Kevin’s runaway holiday look insane even by adult standards.

Rock legend Rick Wakeman — the longtime Yes keyboardist — is recovering after undergoing major brain surgery to treat normal pressure hydrocephalus, a condition that had forced him to postpone his U.S. tour.

The procedure, which inserted a shunt to relieve fluid buildup, was successful, and Wakeman is now resting at home with his wife.

He says the surgery hasn’t affected his playing — joking he can still “hit the occasional wrong note.”

Wakeman is already planning a gradual return, starting with two charity shows in December before resuming his U.S. tour next spring alongside his son.

Paramount Pictures is reviving the “Rush Hour” franchise.

A fourth movie — with original stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, and original director Brett Ratner — is now set to hit development.

The twist? Recent reports say President Trump personally lobbied Paramount’s owner to green-light the project. He reportedly spoke with David Ellison — whose father is longtime Trump donor Larry Ellison — to press for the “Rush Hour” comeback.

For years, Ratner struggled to get financing for another “Rush Hour” film. But with political push and a new distribution plan, the franchise that blended martial-arts action with buddy-cop comedy is getting a second wind.

Guns N' Roses are going big for 2026 — they’ve unveiled a massive new world tour kicking off in late March and running into September.

The tour launches March 28 in Monterrey, Mexico, then barrels through Brazil in April. From there, the band heads to Europe in June—hitting spots like Poland, Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France.

Then, starting July 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina, Guns N’ Roses descend on North America, wrapping up with a show on September 19 in Atlanta. One highlight: a return to California’s Rose Bowl for the first time in over 30 years.

Alongside tour news, they’ve announced that two new singles—“Nothin’” and “Atlas”—will drop on December 2, marking their first new music since 2023’s “The General.”
