Welcome to The List,
How time flies…The Fourth of July is coming up quick! How do YOU like to celebrate…Camping, fireworks, hotdogs and burger on the grill? It’s all about making memories and Billy Currington has some fav’s “Hanging out with my mom, brother and sister on the beach on Tybee Island right off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. We’d go there every year, and we’d light our own fireworks and watch the ones that they had for us. They were the best times, some of the best times of my life” Well, however you celebrate do it safely…

Disney’s making some big changes to a couple of their franchises…They may ask Dwayne ”The Rock” Johnson to replace Will Smith in ”Aladdin 2”. They also want him to play the lead in their live action remake of ”Treasure Planet”. The film has a budget of $140 million. I guess they don’t want to take a chance on Will slapping Mickey around

Bowling alleys are for bowling, unless you’re Kip Moore in the video to his song, “Fire on Wheels”. He dances around the place as if he’s on stage . . . except the only ones watching are the girl who works the desk, and three silver-haired ladies pretending they don’t approve.
By the way, Kip announced that his Fire on Wheels Tour picks up September 8th in Salt Lake City.

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
