Welcome to The List,
Being star struck…it happens…when you meet Kenny Chesney or Luke Combs, or Garth…it EVEN happens to the stars!! Take Carrie Underwood for example. In an interview she talked about HER moment…” Janet Jackson blew me a kiss, I was looking around to see who like who she…my friend who was with me was like blow one back! I was like I froze!!! Now the moments passed, and it would be weird if I’m just over there like just waving or something like a weirdo.” The self-proclaimed ‘home body’ says she would never get out if it weren’t for her husband…so if you’re ever in Nashville try not to be to star struck!

Shark Week!! It’s back on Discovery, kicks off Sunday July 24th . The 34th annual Shark week has for the FIRST TIME EVER a master of ceremonies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Some of this year’s crazier-sounding Shark Week specials include “Jaws vs. Kraken”,“Pigs vs. Shark”, and “Mechashark Love Down Under”. No word on if there’s any of the Sharknado movies.

Tim McGraw says he is working on his 16th studio album. Billboard magazine quotes him as saying, “I’m in the middle of it. I’ve probably mixed eight so far and will record a few more soon. I’m sure we’ll have something off the new album here before too long. I don’t know when the album will drop.”

It seems Walker Hayes is ALWAYS on Tik Tok or doing some kind of dance video with his kids…that’s something you’ll NEVER see Country Star Randy Houser doing. Saying he HATES the idea of posting stuff on TikTok just to go viral. He’s ok with posting on social media, one look at his Instagram and you’ll see he does it all the time..but draws the line at Tik Tok.

BuzzFeed has a poll of which early 2000s celebrity heartthrobs are still crush-worthy. Those who still got it include Orlando Bloom, Paul Rudd, and Chris Evans. Those who don’t are Justin Timberlake, Ashton Kutcher, and Nick Lachey

Olympian Simone Biles was mistaken for a child on her flight home after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A flight attendant even tried giving her a coloring book. Probably because she’s 4-foot-8.

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
