Welcome to The List,
You never know when you’re going to meet the love of your life. Lauren Alaina was chowing down on tacos when her now-fiancé Cam Arnold came into the picture. All he said was ‘Nobody’s gonna take those tacos away from you.’ First thing he ever said to me. That was when I knew.” By the way, today is also a pretty big day for Lauren. She’s releasing her new EP, “Unlocked”. It features “Thicc As Thieves”, her duet with Lainey Wilson.

Luke Comb’s song ‘Fast Car’ is a hit for sure and he says the song has always been a big part of his life .”It’s one of the first songs I ever remember hearing riding around in the truck with my dad. I was probably five years old and he had it on a cassette tape” he covered it in collage and continued to play it. He made a video in 2020 during the pandemic and thought why not make it official.

We STILL don’t know anything about the “medical complication” that Jamie Foxx has been dealing with since April. There have been unconfirmed reports that he had a stroke. Last weekend on Dr. Drew’s podcast, he and a guest were discussing the possibility that the COVID vaccine caused a blood clot that led to that alleged stroke. Well, Jamie’s rep calls that, quote, “completely inaccurate.” But, unfortunately, we STILL have no info on what DID happen.

Jelly Roll tells Billboard magazine that he wants people to be inspired by his story. “I want people to look at my life and realize that no matter how bad life gets, no matter how bad you screw up, there’s always light, always a chance to make it right. As long as you’re willing to fight, there’s always a chance to make something good out of your life.” Jelly Rolls documentary is streaming now on Hulu.

Will Johnny Depp reprise his roll at Captain Jack Sparrow…well, The Daily Mail says Johnny Depp is refusing to return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. He’s upset with Disney for dropping him during his defamation trial with Amber Heard. The paper says Johnny was going to make $20 million to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Savannah Morning News says Ohio firefighter Scott Edward Nall changed his name to Optimus Prime. He did it when he was 30 and wanted to do something crazy for his birthday..I guess Mrs. Prime wouldn’t have much of a problem with it…’Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ opens in theatres today.

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
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
