The List for Tuesday, June 27th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Angela Bassett went viral at this year’s Oscars, but not in a good way.  The camera caught her looking visibly upset when she lost Best Actress to Jamie Lee Curtis. Well, she’s getting a little bit of a consolation prize. She and Mel Brooks are among those getting HONORARY Oscars in November. Angela has been nominated twice . . . first for playing Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It”, and this year for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”.  See, even Hollywood gives “Participation Trophies.”

Toby Keith is about a year-and-a-half into his battle with stomach cancer, and he’s got some good news.  He says his health is on a positive trend . . . and he’s hoping to return to the road this fall . . IF he can get through two-hour shows. He does acknowledge there are no assurances with cancer.  Quote, “You never know with cancer, so you have to prepare . . . [but] I’m thinking about bringing the band in and setting up, playing somewhere, just to see if I can get through [it].”

 —–

There’s a real-life “Barbie” Malibu Dreamhouse listed on Airbnb.  Ken is hosting two free one-night stays for two guests at the bright pink three-story house.  Guests will also get their own yellow and pink Impala skates and surfboard.  “Barbie” hits theaters July 21st.

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
