The List for Tuesday, May 9th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Britney Spears has written a book…it’s actually a autobiography and it’s got A LOT of A-listers nervous.  SO, nervous that they are sending legal letters to her over what they’re afraid she’s going to say.  So far the book has been put on hold because of that. I would imagine some of those “nervous A-listers” also have the last name “Spears”.  Another might have the initials “J.T.”

When Brantley Gilbert and Jelly Roll first got together to record their song, “Son of the Dirty South,” they realized pretty quickly that they were kindred spirits who work really well together. Then they went on tour together, and they decided to make more music together, which Brantley says they hope to share with fans sooner than later. “We’re working on a EP with Jelly Roll. We went and got in the studio and basically live there for a week, and a lot of good stuff came out of that. I don’t know that we’ll release all of ‘em right now, but we are working on like kind of a little EP to put out. There is no specific release date for Brantley and Jelly Roll’s new project yet.  But, he’ll be releasing the Deluxe Edition of his ‘So Help Me God’ album on April 21st.

Decider magazine says Kevin Costner will allegedly not return to ”Yellowstone” until he approves of the way his character, John Dutton, is killed off.  The NY Post newspaper says Paramount+ spends $500 million per year to produce ”Yellowstone” and it’s prequels “1883” and “1923”. Paramount suffered a first quarter loss of $1.1 billion.

The new James Bond Search continues… casting director Debbie McWilliams says she and the producers are no longer looking at young actors for the role of 007.  Even though they looked at a lot of great actors none had the life experience or the gravitas to pull off such a massive responsibility…So we kind of scrubbed that idea and went back to the drawing board and started again.”

Cole Swindell got engaged to his girlfriend, Courtney Little, on Sunday.  He surprised her on a farm near Nashville, which was where they had their first date.  He even hired a photographer to hide in the field and take pics. Courtney is a former dancer for the Charlotte Hornets, and the 2017 Miss Teen North Carolina.  She was in Cole’s “Some Habits” video.  She’s also the co-owner of an online clothing store named The Little Sisters Boutique. He’s 39 and she’s 24.

People magazine says Brad Pitt is launching a new gin called The Gardener. He is going to serve it at the Cannes Film Festival.  Guaranteed if you have enough of it you’ll wake up in SOMEONE’S garden…

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
