The List for Thursday, January 2nd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges were one of country music’s most beloved couples of 2024, so it’s only natural that fans are buzzing about whether they might be taking the next step and tying the knot sometime soon. Bunnie Xo is wondering, too. She confessed to Wilson that she’s “manifesting” a wedding for her in 2025.  Lainey has even offered to propose to HIM!!

It’s not too unusual for Luke Combs to tease new music before releasing it, but this time, he’s got one important question to go along with his unreleased demo. “Who should I duet this with?” he asked fans as he posted a clip of something that appears to be titled “More Less Than Perfect.” Combs’ new song is a love ballad with lyrics that appear to be directed at a person who fell in love with him, even though he thinks he doesn’t deserve her attention.

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her “It Ends with Us” co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, according to court docs…as well as the film’s production company, Wayfarer Studios.  Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department on Dec. 20. On Dec. 31, Baldoni and his publicists also sued the New York Times for libel,  after the news outlet published a Dec. 20 article about Lively’s claims that she’d been the victim of a smear campaign after speaking up about sexual harassment on the set of “It Ends with Us.”

And lastly, Megan Markle started the new year with a fresh Instagram post from a newly launched account. In it, the Duchess of Sussex happily runs barefoot along the sand on a beach while wearing a white button-up shirt and a pair of white jeans rolled up above the ankle.  Writing 20-25 in the sand before running out of the shot. Though the former “Suits” actress, 43, turned off the comments for the post, several stars showed their support by “liking” it, including her pals Serena Williams and Chrissy Teigen.

Harry 4/15/2025

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS HARRY!!  Harry is a bit shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’s all about you. Harry loves attention and will show his affection in the sweetest ways. When he's not running around the ledges in the community room, you’ll catch him sitting in the window, rubbing against the glass like he’s asking for a petting session  (it’s adorable!).

Harry didn’t have a lot of human interaction as a kitten since he was sick and in quarantine, so he’s still warming up to people. But all he really needs is someone who can offer patience and love. He’s sure to become your best buddy once he feels safe and loved.

Harry's adoption fee is just $25.00 because he is the KIX CRITTER OF WEEK!!

Harry is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped, so he’s ready to start his new life with you!

If you’re looking for a calm, sweet cat  Harry could be the perfect fit. Come meet him in ARL community room today!

 

Check out the video of him and his buddies!

The List for Monday, April 14th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Ladies, start your... rockets! Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Gayle King are making history today, launched into space on Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket. It took off at  9:30 a.m. Eastern. A seat can cost up to $450,000—or, you know, slightly less than a weekend at Coachella with VIP passes. The first seat with Bezos sold for $28 million... for that price, the rocket better have reclining seats and a drink cart.

-----

Will Smith dropped a new album and, well... it landed with less of a slap and more of a soft tap. “Based On A True Story” sold only 268 copies in the UK—so basically just his extended family and a couple of curious Amazon shoppers. It didn’t even crack the Billboard 200 in the U.S., but he’s not giving up. He’s planning two more albums and a European tour. Say what you want—he slaps back.

-----

Ed Sheeran’s thinking about going country—and not just because he wore flannel once. He says Nashville’s his favorite U.S. city and he's already teamed up with Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton. But Ed insists he won’t just dip his boots in—he wants to do it right. Because, as we all know, once you go country, you never go... back to math rock? Alan Jackson warned us: "She’s gone country, look at them boots!"

-----

Eric Church is turning Red Rocks into Revival Rocks this July with three unique shows! July 12th, 13th, and 14th—three nights, three setlists, and probably three whiskey-soaked singalongs to “Springsteen.” It’s the kind of show that makes you scream, cry, and question why you ever left your cowboy hat in the car.
