Welcome to The List,
Amanda Bynes is on a psychiatric hold after calling 9-1-1 on herself while walking the streets of L.A. naked. She also dropped out of last weekend’s ’90s Con due to an unspecified illness. According to an eyewitness, The ‘Easy A’ actress waved a car down and told them she was coming down from a psychotic episode. Then she called 9-1-1 on herself. Luckily, she’s not hurt and she’s currently hospitalized receiving care.

Someone took a load off in the aisle next to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton last week at a performance of “Some Like It Hot” on Broadway.. I’m not saying they kicked off their shoes and got comfy. So, either someone is LITERALLY pooing in the aisle or they’re dumping poo they smuggled into the theater. A source said this is the fourth time it’s happened. That’s just unreal…that someone went back to see “Some Like It Hot” four times like that…

Keanu Reeves’ John Wick : Chapter 4′ …is in theaters this weekend and here he talks about the training he does for the ‘John Wick’ movies. “I’ve had the chance to train, now for four films so it’s like I’ve been basically doin a year of my life practicing. Movie Judo and movie Jiu Jitsu, weapon manipulation. I’ve got a chance to be a little bit better at it just through experience with the teachers that I’ve had. That’s the fun and the great pleasure that I’ve had.” Keanu says he loves it when the director says ‘Action’. ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ opens in theatres this weekend.

How different would life be if “Shazam!” star Zachary Levi got the part for Captain America? He tells the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he blew his audition for Captain America. Saying I look like Rogers pre-serum! Like, clearly they could help me work out and I could get big, but, wasn’t meant to be – I did not have that energy, Chris Evans had that energy.

Dame Helen Mirren — star of Taylor Sheridan’s latest Yellowstone prequel, 1923 — says she shops at a local Walmart while filming the series in Butte, Mont. During a visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show. She says “I know that Walmart very well, I know it like the back of my hand”.. maybe a trip to Butte Montana is in the future…maybe get a glimpse of Helen Mirren looking at big screen TV’s and dodging Girls Scouts trying to sell her cookies…Season two of 1923 my hit us sometime late this year or early 2024…

Welcome to The List,
The guitar Michael J. Fox absolutely obliterates at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance? In Back to the Future? Yeah, it’s been missing since 1985—poof, gone, like Biff’s dignity. It’s a cherry red Gibson ES-345 and Gibson’s basically playing musical “Wanted” posters to get it back. Even Marty himself is pleading for its return in a video. Bonus fact: the guitar’s from the '60s, even though the scene was set in '55. So not only is it missing—it’s a time-traveling anachronism. Perfect...

Jason Aldean just torched the whole encore charade. He said, “I’m not gonna leave the stage, make you beg, then stroll back out like it’s a surprise.” No, sir—he plays it all, drops the mic, and that’s it. Respect. None of this “Oh gee, did you really want to hear ‘Dirt Road Anthem?’” Dude, we know it's coming. This ain’t a magic show. It’s country music, not Criss Angel.
------
Allegedly, Blake Lively just got booted from Taylor Swift’s inner circle, and she’s forming her own squad—less pop stars, more...whoever’s available. Sources say Taylor’s over the drama, and Blake’s out here auditioning new friends like it’s The Real Housewives of Manhattan. No tears, just a chilled glass of “watch me glow up without you.” The pettiness? Vintage. The revenge arc? Chef’s kiss.

Headed to CMA Fest? Buckle up, honky-tonk hero. First, it's a clear bag only situation—so unless your purse is see-through like your ex’s promises, leave it at home. Ditch the cowboy boots too unless you’re into blisters and bad decisions. Oh, and plot twist—you don’t have to pay to see music. There’s free music all over the place. It’s like Coachella, but with more denim and less judgment.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
