The List for Monday, June 28th 2021

Welcome to The List,

With the 4th of July knockin on our front door…it must be cool for some who’s birthday’s FALL so close to the holiday.  It did for Blake Shelton anyway… “Fourth of July when I was a kid was extremely important, big deal to me because the fireworks stands, or we called them firecracker, they always opened about four or five days before my birthday, my birthday is June the 18th, so I got tons of fireworks for my birthday which I loved ”

Country Music Icon Willie Nelson talked to Jimmy Fallon about His new book “Letters To America” and WHY he decided to write it. “I thought it was a good idea and Turk Pipkin and I, the writer that helped me with the book, a great friend of mine we’ve done a lot of things in the past so I had a lot of fun with it.” Willie’s book, ‘Letters To America’, is a reminder to readers of the “endless promise and continuous obligations of all Americans will be available tomorrow

There’s a little drama brewing with James Corden that singing karaoke in a car isn’t going to fix anytime soon.  OK! Magazine reports that he’s upset that he wasn’t asked to replace Ellen DeGeneres.  “He figures he’s been doing this longer than Kelly Clarkson who IS in the running for the spot. His contract is up next August, and his bosses must know he’s been thinking about a move back to the U.K.”

Fans clamoring to see Liam Neeson’s new film The Ice Road may find themselves out of luck. The thriller officially dropped on Netflix on Friday, June 25, though some Netflix subscribers attempting to enjoy a movie night found that The Ice Road was not available for streaming. This is because the film is currently only available in the United States.  Even though he has said in the past that he wants to back away from so many action movies..it NEVER gets old.  “I enjoy them, you know, as long as the fights are kinda believable.  We just try to make it believable.”

The List for Tuesday, March 11th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll rocks Daisy Dukes in a new commercial for Zevia. The Zevia collab makes sense.  Jelly has been outspoken about his weight loss journey and making healthier choices for his body.  Zevia soda has no sugar and uses stevia leaf extract for its sweetener.  And the ad is self-aware . . .It shows Jelly rolling up to a gas station in a red truck . . . as two boys watch him get a Creamy Root Beer from a fridge. It’s pretty funny and you can check it out here

The Daily Mail says Jennifer Lopez and actor Brett Goldstein were spotted together backstage at a Broadway play, sparking rumors of a date night.  Ben Affleck doesn’t care…He’s spending as much time with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner as he can.  Yes, she HAS a boyfriend.

-----

Angelina Jolie we haven’t heard much about HER lately…well, she’s allegedly determined to leave Hollywood after being snubbed at the Oscars. An insider reveals, “She put her heart and soul into this awards season. And the snub has left Angelina with an incredibly bad taste in her mouth. It’s Angie’s firm belief that the family would be happiest abroad.’’  Just think, that's all it took...

Hamilton, Ozzie and Mickey

One of our KIX Critters of the week is Hamilton!

He is a 5-year-old mixed breed who came in as a stray, and he’s ready to start a new chapter in his life with someone special.

This shy guy may need some time to warm up, but with patience and love, he’ll reward you with loyalty and affection. Hamilton is a true outdoors enthusiast! He loves spending time outside, where he begins to come out of his shell and show his playful side. He’s looking for a patient and understanding person who can help him build trust and confidence.

Good news for dog lovers – Hamilton does well with other dogs! If you already have a dog, we’ll arrange a meet and greet to make sure they’re a perfect match.

Hamilton's adoption fee is 50% off the normal price!!

Hamilton and his buddy Ripley!
