The List for Friday, July 5th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Kevin Bacon had a harrowing experience recently..something you and I deal with every day..He once put on a disguise and spent a day as a regular person, and it SUCKED.  Quote, “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice.  Nobody said, ‘I love you.’  I had to wait in line…what a hard life…

Lainey Wilson tells American Songwriter magazine that she finds inspiration from her rural upbringing. “Growing up in a small town taught me a lot about life, hard work, and community. It’s those experiences that shape my music and keep me grounded in who I am.” Lainey has new music out 4x4xU from her new album ‘Whirlwind’ dropped today…

OK! Magazine says Ben Affleck is sad that he and JLo didn’t work out. A source says, “Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman. It was drama all the time. Jennifer has a big entourage that follows her around daily — glam squad, videographers, photographers, assistants, trainers. She’s tried to make Ben understand that being Jennifer Lopez is a 24/7 job. She is her brand, she lives and breathes it while Ben can leave his work at the door if he chooses to.

Morgan Wallen tells Billboard magazine that he is striving to maintain normalcy despite his fame. “I try to hold on to as much normalcy as possible. I like driving, so I try to drive as much as I can by myself. I play my shows, I hang out with my son, and I hide pretty much. And I’m OK with that. I’m happy as heck with that.”​…until he drinks…and he gets within a few feet of a chair I guess…

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.
