The List for Friday, October 28th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Halloween is Monday, so why not have a scary movie marathon this weekend.  If you need ideas, “Entertainment Weekly” put together a list of the 20 best slasher movies.  The top three are “Halloween” (1978), “Psycho” (1960), and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984)….I don’t know…Have you SEEN the latest Hocus Pocus?

People who already think “The Crown” shamelessly exploits the Royal Family aren’t going to like this: Netflix is filming Princess Diana’s final car ride . . . in the place where it actually happened But at least there’s this:  Sources say Netflix will NOT recreate the actual crash.

You probably have noticed you’re seeing LESS of Shay Mooney of Dan and Shay that’s because he’s lost close to 50 pounds in the past five months.  He says he cleaned up his diet, stopped drinking, started lifting weights, and walks seven miles a day.  Quote, “I’ve literally never felt better physically, mentally, and spiritually.”

Just in time for the holidays…Tim Allen reprises his role after nearly 30 years in “The Santa Clauses”, with Tim returning as Santa.  The new series follows Scott Calvin (Allen) as he struggles to balance his duties as Father Christmas and being an actual father. The first two episodes premiere on Disney+ November 16th and you can watch the trailer below –

If seeing Dolly Parton in concert is on your bucket list, you better get on it.  In an interview with “Pollstar”, she said she won’t be doing full tours anymore.  She’s NOT retiring, but she is slowing down.  She’ll still do shows here and there, but now that she and her husband are “getting older” she wants to stay close to home. She’s still recording that rock album, so they asked if she has any “dream duet partners”.  She’s planning to ask Ed Sheeran, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, her goddaughter Miley Cyrus, and Chris Stapleton.

Country superstar Alan Jackson is this year’s CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.  He’ll be honored at “The 56th Annual CMA Awards” live from Nashville with a tribute performance from Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, and Lainey Wilson. The CMA’s will broadcast on ABC November 9th at 7pm.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Thursday, March 13th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert! Their friends, being absolute menaces, surrounded them with empty beer cans. When the couple woke up, they had a full-blown hangover without the fun part.

The List for Wednesday, March 12th 2025

Welcome to The List,

We saw THIS coming a mile away…Jennifer Garner has reportedly been given an ultimatum by her boyfriend.  If he sees another picture like the one of Jennifer and Ben Affleck cuddling at paintball, he's out the door.

-----

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)

-----

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he'd be a huge audience winner.
