Welcome to The List,
Who is your favorite horror movie villain of all time? AVClub.com ranked the 40 greatest and to make it simpler, they disqualified animals, sorry “Jaws” and “Cujo”. Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street” at #1. He’s followed by Michael Myers from “Halloween” and Chucky from “Child’s Play”.

Madonna has been officially certified by Guinness World Records as the biggest-selling female recording artist of all time. I should say she’s been RE-certified, because she’s held the record since 2009, and no one else even comes close. The Top 5 is rounded out by Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé. While she’s the best-selling female artist, she’s only fourth on the all-time list, behind The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson.

Jelly Roll shared a video of an eighth-grader in West Virginia, who won his school’s talent show with a cover of “Save Me”. And this follow-up video is equally cool: The kid found out Jelly shared it when his school announced it over the P.A. SYSTEM the next day….who’s the coolest kid in school now!

Even Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards can get star struck….He says he was in awe when he met Merle Haggard in 2004. “I turn around to my right, and there’s this other cat sitting next to me. He’s wearing one of those straw Stetsons and a grizzled beard, and he looks at me and gives me a grin and I give him a grin. I get through two more bars of this song, and suddenly I realize it’s Merle Haggard. And I almost lost it.

As more is being released from Britney Spears memoir she reveals that she had a paranormal experience after her breakup with Justin Timberlake. TMZ says the experience occurred while she was driving through the Arizona desert. Britney believes it was a sign from a higher power. Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake is “not happy” with her new memoir. He has not reached out to her because he has nothing to say to her.

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
