Welcome to The List,
Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty Wednesday to forcibly kissing a worker at a New York nightclub in 2018 in a deal that is likely to keep him out of jail. Gooding also publicly apologized for the first time to two other women who accused him of similar behavior in separate encounters, calling himself a “celebrity figure” who meant no harm. His admissions were part of a plea deal that came nearly three years after the Oscar-winning “Jerry Maguire” star was arrested in the case that saw several delays as his lawyers sought to get charges reduced or dismissed.

Walker Hayes tells ABC that his wife is the most important thing in his life. “Everywhere I go, my family goes with me. Every heartbreak I’ve ever endured, Laney, my wife, has felt it equally. When I read that moment that we had been nominated for a Grammy… that wasn’t a nomination for just me. In a very humble way, she would say she’s not surprised. And all this time I thought he was trying to stay out of AA….

Cruising Tik Toc last night I came across a disturbing video.. Kevin Bacon was singing to his goats. Not just ONE but SEVERAL!! He sings The Backstreet Boys’ Song ‘I Want It That Way’. What is it exactly that he WANTS in that relationship…mutual respect or does he want to learn how to climb mountains.

Yesterday was LORETTA LYNN’s 90th birthday, and I’m sure one of the ways she celebrated was by watching a video that was posted on her Facebook page. It featured a steady stream of country stars wishing her the best. Included are Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson . . . and Dolly Parton who sang “Happy Birthday”. You can see the video below….

Josh Brolin this morning with Kelly And Ryan … Admits that he needs to get in shape for the upcoming “Dune” sequel. “I was with Javier at the Oscars, and Javier and I kind of like we just kinda showed each other our ponches.” Remember when guys would just drink beer and compare lawns? The “Dune” sequel is due in theaters October of next year…

Tim McGraw has a unique way of starting his day….He says he starts his day with a jalapeño smoothie that is packed with jalapeños, an avocado, ginger root, half a lemon, one apple, two cups of kale, and one cup of coconut water…Try coffee.. works for me…

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
Catch The List, with Jonathan Knight weekday afternoon at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
