The List for Wednesday, March 22nd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky are catching some heat for supposedly ABUSING their son.  And on his birthday, no less. Their twin sons Sasha and Tristan recently turned 9, and Chris posted a picture from the celebration that bothered a lot of people. It showed Elsa shoving one of the kids’ faces into his birthday cake, while everyone else laughed. Commenters called it violent, unfunny, and even likened it to abuse…others said relax, who at some point hasn’t wanted to shove or get their face shoved into a juicy birthday cake…

Parker McCollum talks about what drives the “To Be Loved By You” singer to succeed in the music business…‘Making my family proud is like  super, super important to me.  I knew I had to be successful at this and support myself financially doing this and keep my integrity as a songwriter’ Adding he passed on all the ‘up-front’ money for creative control when he got his record deal.

Could Kelsea Ballerini go the way of Taylor Swift and become less and less “country”?  In a new interview, she basically said becoming a huge cross-over artist is the goal.  Saying,  “I want to play arenas.  I want to be the main draw.  I want the pyrotechnics.  I want to cross over, dare I say.”..Well, it was nice knowin’ ya…

Tyler Hubbard tells Rolling Stone magazine that his first solo shows were humbling experiences. Saying “Their FGL shows were always so huge. They were big parties. Some of his first solo shows were opening for Keith Urban. They had to squeeze around his draped off gear. No pyro. And half the people there didn’t know who he was. It really made him feel like he was starting over from scratch.” Well, he was….

The NY Post says Gwyneth Paltrow went on trial yesterday. Dr Terry Sanderson is suing Paltrow claiming she ran over him on the ski slopes of Park City, Utah in 2016. Sanderson’s lawyers opened his lawsuit against Paltrow by telling the court; “Distracted skiers cause crashes. Sanderson is suing for $300,000. Paltrow is countersuing for $1. Sanderson claims he suffered a head injury as a result of the crash…

And lastly, “Wayne’s World 3” sounds like it might ACTUALLY happen. In an interview with “People” magazine, Dana Carvey said it’s on the horizon.  He also said, quote, “Maybe we’ll do it in puppets.  I’m not sure . . .

The List for Monday, February 16th 2026

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
