The List for Friday, June 24th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood tells Billboard magazine that she’s just recently gotten into gardening. ” The past few years, I plan it, think about it, work in there. I’m literally in my garden every single day. Right now, I have lots of tomatoes, bell peppers, snap peas, broccoli, onions, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelon, honeydew melon — a lot of things.” Wow not even kidding!!! That’s a serious garden….

‘Thor: Love and Thunder” director Taika Waititi tells CBS that he shows Chris Hemsworth’s bare backside in the movie. If you’ve seen the trailer there is a scene where Thor loses his clothing and a pixilated panel is placed over his backside…well, Taika says.. “In the movie, it’s not pixelated, you get the full Hems’ Worth. The full worthiness! With Chris, he’s worked so hard on that. It’s so many squats! It’d be depriving humanity if I didn’t show that. The movie is out on July 8th

Keith Urban is fantastic on stage and in the studio.  He tells American Songwriter.com that he has ONE person to thank for that… Johnny Cash.  Saying he saw Johnny Cash in concert when he was five years old and that’s all it took.  He wanted people to react to HIM the way they did to Johnny….

Austin Butler, who plays Elvis in the new biopic about The King, says he wore fake chest hair in the film. The hair was fastened to a bodysuit that he wore while playing an aging Elvis. Variety magazine says Austin underwent 90 costume changes while playing Elvis. The film opens today

Who say THIS coming…Jimmie Allen has an addiction…to BOWLING!! He got addicted during the pandemic.  How bad is it? He practiced eight hours a day, five days a week . . . and now he’s in five different bowling leagues, and plans to try out for the Professional Bowlers Association. So how does he do this while maintaining a singing career, and being married with three kids?  Quote, “I only sleep about three-and-a-half hours a night.  If I get two, I feel like I’ve slept.”  (Jimmie’s third album, “Tulip Drive”, is out today.)

The List for Thursday, April 10th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Bailey Zimmerman Says The Fans Inspire Him To Write And Perform Music ... “For me, it’s always been the stories, like, the stories you hear from people when I’m out on the road…watching people cry really gets me when I’m, like, playing and stuff. That’s really that’s just like…that’s why I write music, Adding – We’ve all been kinda through the same stuff!!

-----

Jason Aldean says the worst karaoke move ever is when artists sing their own songs. According to him, if you’re gonna grab the mic, don’t flex—have fun. He prefers belting out stuff he’d never do on stage—like Neil Diamond. Because nothing says “hardcore country boy” like a drunk “Sweet Caroline” with jazz hands and a beer.

-----

Cuba Gooding Jr. is reportedly stressed over his connection to Diddy’s upcoming trafficking trial. Sources say Cuba’s trying to live the straight-and-narrow—no more headlines, no more grabby hands. But now he’s worried he’ll be pulled back into court like it’s a bad sequel. He's sweating bullets and praying the only role he plays next... isn’t “surprise witness.”

-----

A People Magazine staffer is leading a full-blown campaign to crown Jack Black as the next Sexiest Man Alive. She calls him a triple threat with jungle cat moves and “a devilish grin”—honestly, she sounds in heat. He’s funny, charitable, loves his fans, and may or may not be hotter than Jude Law in ‘The Holiday’. Honestly? We support this beefcake energy.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Wednesday, April 9th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood hit the stage with Papa Roach in Vegas, belting out “Last Resort” and their duet “Leave a Light On.” Sounds fun, right? Well, not so much for the fans, who clearly didn’t want a mashup of country and rock. Guess some lights were left on... just not for the right reasons.

-----

Jennifer Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is allegedly in therapy because Ben Affleck just won’t stop showing up. Holidays? Ben’s there. Dinner? Ben’s there. It’s like he’s got a VIP pass to their relationship. John’s starting to feel like the other guy in his own love story. Maybe Ben should start paying rent at this point.

-----

Luke Combs is all about quality over quantity with his music—no 20-song albums here! He’s got 40-50 songs ready, but he’s not into watering it down. Last time? Just 12 tracks. He’s basically saying, “Less is more, folks”—and we’re here for it. Who needs fillers when you’ve got hits?

-----

Tom Cruise is back in Mission: Impossible doing what he does best: hanging upside down from an airplane at 62! Yeah, he’s still got it—one-handed, no less. And rumor has it, he’s planning to do this crazy stunt stuff until he’s 80. At this point, he’s more Mission: Improbable than impossible!  The trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is out now…the movie is in theaters May 23rd.  See the trailer HERE
