Welcome to The List,
Freddy Krueger’s sweater in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is NOT red and green because of Christmas. Even though it was probably one of his favorite holidays…Here’s another piece of the story…it wasn’t a random choice. Director Wes Craven chose that color combination because of SCIENCE. He read in a scientific article that the combo is the most difficult for the human eye to see, so he figured it would make even Freddy’s clothes uncomfortable to watch.

Wanna hear a ghost story? Darius Rucker has one. He was visited by his grandmother’s ghost when he was in college. He woke up in the middle of the night and she was sitting on the edge of his bed. He wiped the sleep from his eyes, but she was still there . . . It didn’t scare him, but he did go sleep on the couch.

Kane Brown turned 30 this past Saturday, and he shared footage from his spooky party, which was all about saying “R.I.P. to his 20s.” It was very elaborate, and included: Custom decorations . . . cocktails . . . a dance floor . . . a tattoo artist . . . a magician . . . a pizza truck . . . and a social media video, which is set to “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. That’s “elaborate” from a NON-famous person’s perspective. After all, it took place at the BASKETBALL ARENA they have on their property.

The New York Post says Travis Kelce’s brother, and Philadelphia Eagles star, Jason Kelce is releasing a second Christmas album with several of his teammates. Proceeds from the upcoming album will benefit the Eagles’ Autism Foundation.

Radar Online says Jada Pinkett-Smith may be looking for “greener pastures” and another famous partner. There have been rumors for years that her marriage has been on the rocks. Friends fear that Jada isn’t determined to fix her marriage and may be seeking a new famous partner….We’re just over here with our popcorn…

Nate Smith says forgetting his own lyrics has been such an issue, he’s started using a “confidence monitor” at shows. It’s a screen down by your feet that has the lyrics, just in case you need them..so, if you’re ever at a show…and he glances down…now you know why…

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
