Welcome to The List,
Radar Online reports John Travolta is ready to start dating again. His late wife, Kelly Preston, passed in 2021. A source says, “John just needed to feel ready, and now he is. John will always have his kids’ love and Kelly’s memory. But he’s beginning to want a partner to share the rest of his life with.”

Reba McEntire says her most embarrassing moment on stage was in the early ’80s during a headlining show. She tripped over a monitor and crawled off stage with ripped “britches”. She returned to the stage for “Sweet Dreams” acapella and kept her hand over the rip and said no one noticed.

We all have regrets in our life at some point…Jelly Roll says he regrets 93% of his tattoos … It’s one of the few things in life he regrets besides his criminal record. He got some of them when he was 14…Jelly was also at a Nashville Predators hockey game where he helped a couple get engaged on the Jumbotron.

Even though Amber Heard’s part in “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom“ supposedly got reduced to almost nothing, she thanked fans for their support. The rest of us are like…what?

The January Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Skyler Stevenson – 9-12 Grade Agriculture Teacher @ East Marshall High School. She was nominated by Lonika Utterback, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1:
Ms. Steveson joined EMHS mid-year. She jumped right in and has been positive throughout her transition to a new school. She has been learning all of the student's names and the routines of the school. She has had to sort through a new classroom and curriculum. She had to make new lesson plans for 6 different agriculture classes all while being the FFA advisor as well. The students and staff have appreciated her greatly and are so thankful for her to have accepted this role. We would like to support her and help her adapt to EMHS as best we can!
On the last Wednesday of the month during the school year, we award $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. Nominate a Kix Country teacher today at Kixweb.com.
Welcome to The List,
Megan Moroney just proved she’s either the nicest person in country music… or she has zero bedtime. She told fans at her Meet Me on Cloud 9 pop-up show she’d sign something for every single person there. And she actually did it. CDs, vinyl, whatever you had, Megan stayed until the job was done. Meanwhile, if one person asks me for directions at Target, I fake a phone call and walk away.

Jelly Roll just announced his brand new tour and the name alone deserves a standing ovation. It’s called the ‘Little Ass Shed Tour’. Yes, that’s real. He just finished the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Post Malone, so now he’s downsizing… slightly. These “sheds” still pack in 10 to 15 thousand fans a night. So congrats Jelly, you’re officially too big for arenas, but still emotionally attached to lawn seating.

Travis Kelce might be taking a pay cut if he plays another NFL season. He made 17 million last year, but reports say next year could be closer to 13 million. Which means he may have to tighten the budget a little. Maybe fewer vacations, fewer commercials, and only one diamond-covered cereal commercial instead of two. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult financial hardship.

Tom Hanks is officially playing Abraham Lincoln in a new movie, and apparently it’s personal. Ancestry.com says Hanks is actually Lincoln’s 16th cousin. The movie will mix live action and stop motion animation, which sounds like Lincoln meets Toy Story. If Tom Hanks shows up in a top hat and says “There’s a snake in my boot,” I’m buying tickets.
