The List for Friday, April 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Morgan Wallen has officially beat Taylor Swift’s record for the most Top 10 hits from an unreleased album. He’s already got five songs sittin’ pretty on the Billboard Hot 100, and his album “I’m the Problem” doesn’t drop until May 16th. That title feels oddly familiar, no? Anyway, who needs a release date when the Internet’s already thirsting over your deep-fried heartbreak bangers?

Word is J.Lo is ready to light up the PR world like a bedazzled flamethrower. Why? Because Ben Affleck dared to call their divorce “embarrassing.” Now Jen’s allegedly planning a tell-all interview that might make Gone Girl look like a rom-com. She’s tired of being the quiet one and is ready to serve truth with a side of sass—hold the filter. Ben wanted privacy, and now he’s about to get… primetime.

A company called Hollo has unveiled a fully interactive AI version of Suzanne Somers. Not a hologram—this version can talk, think, blink, and possibly steal your job. Her widow says they talked about it before she passed, and he’s hoping the AI Suzanne can star in future Three’s Company episodes. So yes, we’ve officially reached the point where robots are remaking sitcoms. Next up: Roomba with a SAG card.

The 2025 March Man-ness bracket is over, and your winner for hottest man in country music is… George Strait. That’s right—King George took the crown with nothing but charm, swagger, and probably a strong cologne game. Fans said he’s aged like a fine whiskey… and they’d like a sip. So, to the young stars with spray tans and tight jeans: take notes—class is in Strait session.

Peg 4/22/2025

Our KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS PEG!! She described as the "The Goodest Dog on the ARL website!

Peg is a 1-year-old lab mix with a heart full of energy and legs made of springs—she can jump as high as 6 feet! This lively girl is looking for an active family that can keep up with her adventurous spirit. She’s always ready to play and explore, making her the perfect companion for outdoor activities.

Peg is dog-friendly, so if you have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet will be required to make sure they’re a good match.

Peg is a bit cautious around men, especially those wearing hats or hoodies, she’s a sweet and loving dog who will warm up with time and patience.

Her adoption fee of just $75, because she is our KIX Critter of the Week,  covers her spay, vaccines, microchip, and heartworm test. If you’re looking for a high-energy, fun-loving companion who will bring joy and excitement into your home, Peg might just be the perfect fit for you!

The List for Monday, April 21st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Morgan Wallen just dropped the tracklist for his new album I'm the Problem—and surprise! He wrote 22 of the 37 songs. Yup, thirty-seven. Man’s working harder than a coffee machine on Monday! He’s got his first-ever collab with a woman—Tate McRae—and some familiar voices like Post Malone, Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest. It’s already breaking records before it's out May 16th, and his tour kicks off June 20th in Houston. This thing’s about to explode like a beer can in a bonfire!

Aaron Rodgers says football’s not the only drama in his playbook—he’s got personal issues stealing the spotlight. On The Pat McAfee Show, he spilled that life’s been “interesting” since the Jets said buh-bye in February. These days, he’s lifting weights, soul-searching, and spooning with his dog, Apollo. As for retirement? He’s not ruling it out, saying, “I’m open to anything, attached to nothing.” Translation: he might throw one more pass... or start doing yoga in the woods with Shailene again.

-----

The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp might be swash bucklin’ his way back into that eyeliner and rum breath as Captain Jack Sparrow in a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean flick! Disney’s reportedly close to sealing the deal—yeah, even with all the past drama. Word is, the script’s done and this is a full-on reboot. Translation? More Jack. More chaos. And probably way more guyliner.

-----

Brooks & Dunn will be honored the night before the 60th ACM Awards during the "Play Something Country" gala.  Eric Church . . . Cody Johnson . . . Megan Moroney . . . Keith Urban . . . and Lainey Wilson will all be on-hand performing renditions of Brooks & Dunn's biggest hits.
