Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs is a busy guy these days…trying to come up with a name for his yet to be born baby AND has made a huge Announcement… His Fall Tour … “Yeah I’m announcing an arena tour this fall  “So. It’s going to be called The Middle of Somewhere Tour. A great name for a tour, just because of, you know, the people that I feel like we get to play music for”  The first leg of the tour will have Jordan Davis and Morgan Wade.. the Second half will include Lainey Wilson

”Cobra Kai” is back for Season 5 on September 9th.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez spent the weekend touring a $68 million Los Angeles mansion. The home has 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and a massive pool THAT way I guess if there’s an argument, they can go to their respective zip codes in the house….

—–

9 months in and Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are having typical marital “discussions”.  A source tells OK magazine, Gwen decides what they’re going to have for dinner, she’s a vegetarian and Blake likes his meat and potatoes….and never squeezes the toothpaste from the bottom…ah…true love…

—–

Sam Hunt and Hannah Lee Fowler have reportedly reunited. While it was previously reported that the pair were set to divorce, they have since called it off,   She originally accused him of infidelity…and is pregnant with the pair’s first child.  Revealing on Country Countdown USA that they are having a baby girl and like Luke Combs is waiting to give her a name.

—–

This weekend Kelsea Ballerini returned to Knoxville, TN and Central High School, where she attended her Freshman and Sophomore years for a reunion – with everything shut down last year, the 10 year reunion in 2021, became the 11 year reunion in 2022….Technically she didn’t graduate from there…she moved to Nashville to chase the dream.. but felt THIS was the place she had those friendships, crushes, music and heartbreak.  If you’re familiar with Kelsea and Kenny Chesney’s number-one hit “Half of My Hometown” you’re familiar with her move from Knoxville to Nashville.

Country singer and actor Mickey Gilley, known for launching the Urban Cowboy movement in Country music and hit songs including “Stand By Me,” “Room Full of Roses” and “Lonely Nights,” died Saturday, May 7th, in Branson, Missouri at the age of 86.

The List for Tuesday, August 26th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Tom Cruise is reportedly working on a prenup for Ana de Armas… before he even pops the question. The plan is: she says yes, and a lawyer walks in with a stack of paperwork thicker than a "Mission Impossible" script. Look, he’s crazy about her, but, he wants everything in writing. Honestly, Tom’s love language “Sign here, initial there.”

-----

Lainey Wilson almost bought a jet ski on impulse… because that’s what beer does to people. She and her fiancé Duck were at their favorite restaurant when she saw someone cruise in on a turquoise jet ski and said, “We’re gettin’ one!” But by the time she finished her beer, Duck had talked her out of it.  You know you’ve got a keeper when he stops you from buying floating money pits.

-----

Aaron Lewis is going after Bruce Springsteen, saying he “duped us all” with Born in the USA…calling it one of the most anti-American songs ever. Which is wild, because half the country still thinks it’s a fist-pumping patriotic anthem. I guess the real American tradition is… not reading the lyrics before cranking it at a barbecue.

-----

So Snoop Dogg takes his grandson to see Disney’s Lightyear… and his grandson asks, “Papa Snoop, how does a woman have a baby with a woman?” Snoop’s response? “Eat your popcorn, lil man.” He told a podcast he’s scared to even go to the movies now, because kids ask questions he can’t answer. Imagine Snoop, high as a kite, sweating in a Pixar theater like, “Man, I just wanted Buzz Lightyear, not a biology exam.”

Helen & Portland 8/28/2025

Our KIX Critters of the week are Helen and Portland!!

Both females are FIV+ but it's not a death sentence for either of these two cuties!! Jodi explains what FIV is and the fact that FIV+ cats can be adopted with other cats. She does state that you should talk to your vet about it, first. I suggested to adopt the two together!! Their adoption fee is only $25.00 each!! More information

Portland

Portland is a playful, affectionate cat with a funny personality and the cutest little hops. She’s FIV-positive, which means she has a weaker immune system and needs a bit of extra care, but it doesn’t stop her from enjoying life to the fullest. She loves being petted, chasing toy mice, and soaking up attention.

Portland would do great as the only cat or in a home with other FIV-positive kitties. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped—ready to find her forever home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited companion, Portland is your girl!

Helen

Helen is a sweet and friendly 2-year-old cat who came in with her three adorable kittens, all of whom have since been adopted. Helen is a big fan of head scratches and cuddles—she’ll happily come right up to you for some love. She enjoys lounging in her bed, but also loves curling up with people for some extra warmth and attention.

Helen has tested positive for FIV, which means she needs a little extra care due to a weakened immune system. She’d do well in a home with other FIV-positive cats or as the only cat, soaking up all the attention! Helen is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and microchipped, so she’s ready for her next adventure with a loving family.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion who loves affection, Helen could be the perfect match!
