Welcome to The List,
Someone once said that major celebrity deaths come in THREES. It’s unclear who first said that . . . and if they’ve died, who were the other two people who died at the same time. We lost three beloved celebrity old-schoolers over the weekend. Nichelle Nichols from “Star Trek” . . . NBA legend Bill Russell . . . and actress Pat Carroll, who provided the voice of Ursula in “The Little Mermaid”.

Luke Bryan brought a little happiness to two boys at his show on Saturday. They were holding up a T-shirt that said, “Our dad died. Can we sing ‘Drink a Beer’ together?” Not only did he sing with them, but he also put on the shirt.

Britney Spears finished writing a tell-all, but it won’t come out anytime soon . . . because there isn’t enough paper. Lucky US…There’s apparently a global paper shortage, so until it’s resolved, there isn’t an estimated release date.

On Friday, Will Smith put out a five-minute video, where he apologizes for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. It seems sincere, but it also took him almost SIX MONTHS to put out. The video is titled “It’s been a minute,” and it HAS. Actually, it’s been about 244,000 MINUTES since the Oscars. In it he says, he’s reached out to Chris Rock and hasn’t heard anything back yet, Jada had nothing to do with it and that he is devoted to bringing joy into the world.

Tragedy struck Kenny Chesney’s show in Denver on Saturday when a fan fell off the side of an escalator and died. Police said she was sitting on the railing when it happened. Kenny was “devastated” by the news, and said he’s grieving for the woman and her family.

Twitter went wild over a fan page showing that George Jetson from “The Jetsons” was born . . . yesterday July 31st 2022…..

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