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!
