Lainey Wilson tells Billboard magazine that she’s had to change her lifestyle since becoming a star.  She loves being a homebody…but the career. Well has defiantly changed that. Saying she’s slept in her own bed a total of 15 nights last year alone.  If only you could do concerts from home..

The new “Barbie” movie is getting a lot of press, but,  plot details are being kept under wraps, it sounds like it’s kind of crazy.  Margot Robbie says the first time she read the script, she thought, quote, “This is so good.  What a shame it will never see the light of day because they are never going to let us make it.”  “Barbie” hits theaters on July 21st.

Deadline Hollywood says Arnold Schwarzenegger and his neighbors took to the streets of their Los Angeles neighborhood yesterday to fix several giant potholes. He posted a video along with the caption; Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole, I went out with my team and fixed it.

The List for Thursday, February 19th 2026

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
