The List for Thursday, July 29th 2021

Welcome to The List,

We all have our country music hero’s…the ones that the moment they release a CD or even a song to stream on-line no matter WHAT it is we’re right there ..Miranda Lambert is no different  “I loved from Patti Loveless to Faith (Hill), Shania (Twain), Sara Evans. Then also the pop side, you know, Beyoncé, Destiny’s Child. I was loving people that had something different, that did something a little bit different”.  She says those aren’t necessarily my musical influences of course, but they’re influences to me as far as what they did later on in their careers versus when they started.

Luke Bryan is STILL looking for the perfect wedding gifts for Blake and Gwen…it’s on going and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon “It will be many many gifts in a big package, I’m just havin to get out there and go searching but ah…yeah, it’ll be like ‘Mullet Stimulator’ or something for Blake.  Probably gonna have to send Gwen some glasses.”

Sad news to report, ZZ Top Bassist Dusty Hill passed away in his sleep just days after taking a leave of absence because of a hip issue at his home in Texas AND Infomercial King Ron Popeil has passed the man who created the Pocket Fisherman and Hair in a Can, ‘The Bedazzler and the Chop O Matic and catch phrases like “But wait there’s more” and “Set it and forget it’  Ron was worth $200 million at the time of his death he was 86

US Weekly Magazine claims Alex Rodriguez loves being single now that he and Jennifer Lopez have broken up. A source tells the magazine, “A-Rod is living his best single life. He’s really enjoying [being] a bachelor. Meanwhile Kim Kardashian is STILL looking for someone that will date HER.

It seems to be a trend these days to have celebrity biopics, so it should come as no shock that Mark Wahlberg would be up for a biopic of his own. While the 50-year-old may not have one just yet, but, if a biopic does take place, the Ted star already knows who he would want to play him on screen Tom Holland…yep, Spider-Man…I KNEW Mark was a Marvel fan!!

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...

If you’re a Wynonna Judd fan she just announced her first-ever greatest hits tour.  It kicks off June 13th in Georgia and wraps up September 5th at the New Mexico State Fair.  Tickets go on sale this Friday.

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!
