Welcome to The List,
Well, “The Usual Suspects” is no longer the biggest surprise ending in Kevin Spacey’s career. Yesterday, a London jury found him not guilty of ALL NINE sexual misconduct charges he was facing: After the verdict, Spacey said he was “enormously grateful” to the jury and “humbled” by the outcome of the trial. Yesterday also just happened to be Spacey’s 64th birthday

ABC’s “General Hospital” has found an interesting way to keep coming up with new episodes during the strike: SCABS!!! They’re using “temporary writers” to keep the show going. The General Hospital writers understand though that stopping production could spell the demise of soap operas.

Jason Aldean has trimmed six seconds from his “Try That in a Small Town” video. According to the “Washington Post”, he removed footage from a Fox Atlanta news report that showed violent imagery from a BLM protest in 2020. Jason hasn’t commented . . . but his record company confirmed the footage was edited due to “third party copyright clearance issues”…I have this bridge…for sale….

Reality TV star and one-time country singer Jana Kramer tells the Whine Down podcast that Miranda Lambert was rude for chastising fans for taking a selfie during one of her concerts. “I get the other side of it where it’s like ‘OK, I’m here to listen to music,’ but it’s also, it’s a concert, in my mind, wouldn’t you want people having fun?

Variety magazine says two Barbie sequels may be in the works. Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz says, “opportunities open up very quickly, once you establish the first movie as a successful representation of a franchise on the big screen. Successful movies lend themselves to more movies. Our ambition is to create film franchises.”

Collider magazine says Vin Diesel is planning to star in a new movie based on Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. Mattel has greenlit the film and hopes to fast track it once the actors and writers strike ends.

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
