Welcome to The List,
Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Ian Ziering is being sued over a wild 2023 New Year’s Eve incident on Hollywood Boulevard involving motorcycle riders. A plaintiff claims Ziering got out of his car and shoved him, sparking a larger fight and injuries. Ziering says he was checking damage after being approached aggressively and insists it was self-defense. Now the whole thing is headed to court. Hollywood never disappoints.

Taylor Swift just made Christmas a whole lot better for Kansas City Chiefs employees. During a holiday game at Arrowhead Stadium, Taylor surprised staff with cash gifts. One worker shared that Taylor handed her $600 personally, leaving her emotional and overwhelmed. Santa wears red, apparently with lipstick.

Jimmy Kimmel is allegedly planning to end his ABC late-night run in May 2027, and insiders say he wants Donald Trump as his final guest. The thinking is one last headline, one last laugh, and the ultimate mic drop. With audiences shifting to streaming and ratings changing, sources say internally this is being called Jimmy’s “goodbye year.”

Riley Green told CMT he thinks old-school politeness still matters and too many people have forgotten that. He says simple things go a long way, and he’s not wrong. In a world of comment sections and hot takes, Riley just wants people to act right. Country manners never go out of style.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
The December Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Morgan Hurst – 7th Grade ELA Teacher @ Miller Middle School in Marshalltown. She was nominated by Bub Hurst, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1.
