The List for Thursday, October 13th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Page Six reports Elon Musk is now selling a fragrance called Burnt Hair, for $100 a bottle.  The website calls it, quote, "The essence of repugnant desire."  There's no word what it actually smells like. Probably stale beer and bad decisions.  I think he’s just clowning us at this point, Burnt Hair isn't officially out until early next year, but Musk claims he's already sold 10,000 bottles.

-----

Mark Wahlberg has moved his family from Hollywood to Nevada.  He says it allowed him to, quote, "give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams," and it, quote, "made a lot more sense for us." I’m sure taxes are cheaper too…

-----

Remember last week when Hardy and three others were in a tour bus crash?  Well, it was more serious than we thought and left everyone unconscious.  The doctor said it's a miracle they all survived.  Hardy also announced a spring tour with tickets on sale Friday.

-----

At some point we start to feel it…it could be the change in weather for some…others like myself are just feeling it…Hollywoodlife.com says Oprah had two knee surgeries in 2021. Saying “When I came home the first time, I literally could not lift my leg. I couldn’t lift my heel off the bed and I vowed, if I was ever able to get up, walk around and move again, that I would take advantage of movement, exercise and of being able to be fully in my body.

-----

Jelly Roll tells Music Mayhem magazine that he has settled his beef with Waffle House. "We were going back and forth for a while. I can't even remember why right now. I gave in and started eating there again. I must admit, I buckled. It was hard to carry the beef on for too long. I'm such a fan. And their food is so good!"

-----

Have YOU ever tried to change someone's mind about country music?  There's a thread online where someone says their friend thinks country music is all about beer and trucks.  So, they’ve come up with a 50-song playlist to change their friend's mind.  Out of the fifty, the top songs were Reba McEntire’s ‘Fancy’,  Garth Brooks ‘The Thunder Rolls’ Brad Paisley “He Didn’t Have To Be” and Jon Pardi’s “Heartache Medication’.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Wednesday, October 12th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Who is the world's hottest bald man in Hollywood?  You don't have to answer that, because science already has.  It's Vin Diesel.  A "search engine optimization" company called Reboot looked at a bunch of different factors, including the infamous "Golden Ratio", an equation that supposedly measures facial beauty and perfection. Stanley Tucci came in 2nd, Jason Statham 6th Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson 9th out of 10.

-----

CMT's 2022 "Artists of the Year" special will include performances from Alan Jackson, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, and Walker Hayes.  Presenters include Dan + Shay, Chris Stapleton, and Dustin Lynch.  Dale Earnhardt Jr. will appear remotely to present to Luke Combs.  It airs Friday at 8:00 p.m. on CMT.

-----

Hollywood Reporter says the release dates of several Marvel movies have been pushed back . . . mainly because their upcoming "Blade" movie with Mahershala Ali recently lost its director. So, it got pushed from November of 2023 to September of 2024. Others that got pushed back “Deadpool 3"   "Fantastic Four" And "Avengers: Secret Wars" 

-----

The Daily Mail says Tom Cruise has had to hire several bodyguards because he is being threatened by a former employee. Cruise and Paramount Pictures fired the stunt producer from ''Mission Impossible 8'' and he didn’t take it well. A source tells the newspaper, ". It's all turned very nasty. Those involved in the films are confident everything is totally fine, this guy is just an angry ex-staff member.''

-----

Rolling Stone magazine says Blake Shelton is leaving ''The Voice'' at the conclusion of next season.  He hasn’t said why…but it’s been 22 seasons that’s 12 years…maybe it’s time to just move on?

-----

There's a country singer named Megan Stout from Kentucky who jokes that she  moonlights as a 9-1-1 dispatcher.  She's released four songs that she recorded in Nashville.  I wonder if she's ever sang to a person in need over the phone?

The List for Tuesday, October 11th 2022

Welcome to The List,

If you ever find yourself in Hollywood…maybe pick up an autograph if your lucky? Well, there are a few celebrities that simply refuse to give them up!!  Star Treks Captain Kirk William Shatner only does them at conventions, Paul McCarney says he’d rather have a conversation with a fan and Steve Martin we’re not sure what the policy is NOW but back in the 80’s he used to hand out pre-signed cards that said, "This certifies that you have had a personal encounter with me, and you found me warm, polite, intelligent, and funny."

-----

If you're looking for something REALLY scary to watch this Halloween, a website called StudyFinds claims to have found the five SCARIEST movies.  What they came up with were.. It Follows, The Shining, Paranormal Activity, Halloween (the original) and at number one…The Exorcist….you’re welcome.

-----

Hardy is coming out with a second album called "The Mockingbird & the Crow" on January 20th.  But to hold you over until then, he released THREE new songs.  They're called "Here Lies Country Music""Truck Bed", and "The Mockingbird & the Crow".

-----

The debut episode of Netflix's new horror series "The Midnight Club" was one for the record books.  Literally. It set the Guinness World Record for the most JUMP SCARES in a premiere episode.  There were 21. Which is interesting, because the show's co-creator Mike Flanagan HATES jump scares. He says, "I thought, 'We're going to do all of them at once, and then if we do it right, a jump scare will be rendered meaningless for the rest of the series.' but that didn't happen.  They were like, 'Great!  More [scares]!'"

-----

Scotty McCreery was honored with the Randy Owen Angels Among Us award from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  The award recognizes country artists who are committed to their cause.  Past recipients include Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, and Florida Georgia Line.

-----

Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning are co-hosting the "CMT Awards" on November 9th.  In a new video, they decided to have a boot camp to prepare.  This included vocal exercises, learning how to dress like a country star, and practicing different football passes for handing out the awards.
