Welcome to The List,
Sad news over the Fourth... Michael Madsen—yeah, the guy who made ear-cutting in Reservoir Dogs look like an art form—died Thursday from cardiac arrest at 67. And we also lost Julian McMahon—Nip/Tuck, Charmed, and Fantastic Four’s original Dr. Doom—gone at just 56 after a battle with cancer.
-----
Miranda Lambert isn’t just all about fringe and fire—it’s heart too. She and her MuttNation Foundation are teaming up with Kerrville Pets Alive to help both people and their fur-babies affected by the devastating Texas flash floods. Big country heart, big country help.
-----
Lainey Wilson says carving out time for her fiancé, Duck Hodges, is a must—even with a tour bus schedule! For their wedding? No country megastars—she wants jazz bands! And who’s gonna cry first? Lainey’s betting on Duck. She says, “He’ll be a mess.” Aww...Quackin' up already.
-----
Tom Cruise’s next movie, Deeper, just hit a big fat pause button—because it’s allegedly burning through a $275 million budget. Yeah... for a deep-sea space drama. Warner Bros. is sweating, Cruise is studio-shopping, and somewhere, Ana de Armas is wondering if she packed her wetsuit and her spacesuit.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
