With Robert Pattinson’s “The Batman” set to hit theaters March 4th of next year…Kristen Stewart tells Variety magazine that she would be open to playing a Joker-like villain in a future “Batman” movie with her ex-boyfriend, Saying The Joker has really been done so well.

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
