Welcome to The List,
Last year, Chris Hemsworth discovered that he’s at high risk for suffering Alzheimer’s disease while doing his National Geographic docuseries “Limitless”. And now, there’s talk that he’s slowing down his career because of it. Chris has two movies on his plate: He’s playing Thor again in “Avengers: Secret Wars”, and he’s starring in a Hulk Hogan biopic. After that, he has nothing else planned. has already completed work on “Extraction 2” and the “Mad Max: Fury Road” sequel, “Furiosa”.

Kevin Costner’s departure from “Yellowstone” may have been greatly exaggerated. If you’re a fan of the show you may have heard the rumors…well, during a TV industry event on Saturday, Paramount president Keith Cox said quote, “Our star, the face of our show and the executive producer, are very confident he’s going to continue with our show.” In a separate interview, the president of ViacomCBS said that the spinoff with Matthew McConaughey is moving forward, whether Costner returns to the original or not.

Did you have money on Jelly Roll winning big at last night’s “CMT Music Awards”? “Son of a Sinner” won Breakthrough Male Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year, and CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year. Lainey Wilson also had a great night. “Heart Like a Truck” won Female Video of the Year, Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn Brown took home the big prize when “Thank God” won Video of the Year.

How ‘old school’ is Keith Urban…He tells Billboard magazine that he’s still a big fan of cassettes. “It’s the sound he grew up with. The sound of a song playing on a cassette takes him back to his childhood. There’s something about the sound of a tape playing on a boom box. It makes him think of sitting in his house playing songs over and over until the tape broke.”

The Daily Mail says Amazon is selling a new King Charles costume just weeks before his coronation. The $40 costume includes a red robe with leopard print, a plastic gold crown and a pair of large ears that are worn like earmuffs….it’s getting mixed reactions from the British people.
And lastly, Samuel L. Jackson returns as Nick Fury in the trailer for the Marvel series, “Secret Invasion”. It also stars Emilia Clarke, Don Cheadle, and Martin Freeman. It premieres June 21st on Disney+

Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
You can catch The List, this afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
