Welcome to The List,
Who is the world’s hottest bald man in Hollywood? You don’t have to answer that, because science already has. It’s Vin Diesel. A “search engine optimization” company called Reboot looked at a bunch of different factors, including the infamous “Golden Ratio”, an equation that supposedly measures facial beauty and perfection. Stanley Tucci came in 2nd, Jason Statham 6th Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson 9th out of 10.

The Daily Mail says Tom Cruise has had to hire several bodyguards because he is being threatened by a former employee. Cruise and Paramount Pictures fired the stunt producer from ”Mission Impossible 8” and he didn’t take it well. A source tells the newspaper, “. It’s all turned very nasty. Those involved in the films are confident everything is totally fine, this guy is just an angry ex-staff member.”

Rolling Stone magazine says Blake Shelton is leaving ”The Voice” at the conclusion of next season. He hasn’t said why…but it’s been 22 seasons that’s 12 years…maybe it’s time to just move on?

There’s a country singer named Megan Stout from Kentucky who jokes that she moonlights as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. She’s released four songs that she recorded in Nashville. I wonder if she’s ever sang to a person in need over the phone?
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs just committed the ultimate sports betrayal…he wore a Jacksonville Jaguars hat. Panthers fans immediately grabbed their pitchforks and pumpkin spice lattes and accused him of treason. One fan called him fake. Luke fired back saying, yeah, maybe he should have worn Panthers gear while playing in the Jaguars stadium…his bad. This man gave us “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” not “I Pledge Allegiance to Your Fantasy Football Team.”

Miranda Lambert kicked off the Daytona 500 in front of more than 100,000 screaming NASCAR fans. She admitted the massive crowd made her nervous, which is relatable, because the only thing scarier than that many people is that many people who drove there aggressively. She said it already felt like a concert thanks to the tailgating.

Hollywood officially ran out of ideas sometime around 2007, and now Charlie’s Angels is getting rebooted…again. Sony is already working on it, with the Crazy Rich Asians writer attached, and Drew Barrymore possibly involved behind the scenes. So yes, prepare for dramatic slow-motion walking, explosions that defy physics, and a plot nobody remembers. That’s Hollywood innovation….rebooting a reboot of a reboot of a reboot.

If you were waiting for The Simpsons to end, I have terrible news…you’ll be waiting forever. The showrunner says it will never have a real finale because the characters live in permanent cartoon Groundhog Day. They already did a fake ending just to mess with us. At this point, three things will survive the apocalypse: cockroaches, Twinkies, and Homer Simpson.
Get details on these stories at 4:20 this afternoon on The List, with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
