The List for Monday, August 22nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had a proper wedding at Ben's estate in Georgia on Saturday.  They didn't just throw a party to celebrate they got married all over again.  J-Lo wore a full-on wedding gown, train and all this time.  All their kids were there, along with celebrity guests including Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Smith, and Jason Mewes.

-----

Will Smith posted a video where he and his son Trey discover a tarantula in their home.  Will filmed the spider while standing on a chair, telling Trey to get rid of it because, quote, "you're young and strong, you can handle the bite." Eventually, they teamed up.  Trey put a glass bowl on top of the spider, and Will slipped a piece of paper under it… and like the manly men they are….hightailed it to a Holiday Inn…don’t really blame them….

-----

Craig Morgan received the wrong merchandise shipment for his shows last week.  He ended up with Adele's CDs,  but sold them at his booth anyway.  Craig thinks maybe the gods are saying they should do a duet.

-----

The milestones keep rolling in! After 13 weeks on the big screen, Top Gun: Maverick has collected $683 million in North America, enough to overtake Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War” ($678 million) as the sixth-highest grossing movie in domestic box office history. Top Gun: Maverick will be available on streaming services August 23rd and out on DVD November 1st.

-----

Blake Shelton has new priorities in life…He tells Entertainment Tonight that Gwen Stefani, and not his career, is it. Saying ''Look, I love music and I love The Voice. I love all the cool things I get to do with my job, but those things all take a backseat now to Gwen and the kids and it’s just a new phase of my life.'' Thankfully it doesn’t include another mullet….

-----

Paramount Pictures is developing a ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'' spin-off.  “Sam and Victor’s Day Off” is about the two valets that took Cameron's father's red Ferrari for a joy ride in Chicago.  The creators of ''Cobra Kai'' are developing this film

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

The List for Friday, August 19th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Shaquille O'Neal is a giver.  He says, "My favorite thing to do when I'm in a Best Buy, or Walmart, is if I see a kid, I get them something that I see he's looking at. Of course, I make them ask their parents first. Someone videoed him giving a homeless woman in front of a restaurant a plate of food…that video went viral and it allowed the woman's family to find her.

-----

Brad Pitt is in a bit of a pickle…His Make It Right Foundation built homes in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, in order to help people displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Well, his foundation got SUED because the homes were supposedly poorly built. They’ve made an agreement with a nonprofit called Global Green . . . who will fork over $20.5 million so all the problems can be fixed.  To which Brad is extremely grateful…

-----

Fox Business News says Papa John's has created a new pizza inspired by HBO's Game of Thrones prequel. The Dragon Flame Pizza will debut this Sunday when HBO premieres the GOT prequel series ''House of the Dragon''. The Dragon Flame Pizza is topped with Sriracha dry spice, smoked chicken, Italian sausage, green peppers, chilies, melted cheese, chili dust and garlic. HBO Max’s Game of Thrones prequel  ‘House Of The Dragon’ premiers Sunday August 21st.

----

Scarry time for 89-year-old Willie Nelson he said he had Covid back in May and almost didn't survive.  He tested positive while on his tour bus, and when he got back home, he had to get a mobile medical unit to his ranch. Two weeks later, he was playing again, dogged a bullet there….

-----

Congratulations goes to Lee Brice!  He just earned his 13th Gold single with his hit  "Soul".  Saying he’s completely bowled over time and time again by how amazing the fans are! They keep my music playing and keep showing up to the shows – this is all because of them."

-----

Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line has released his first solo EP today.  It's called "Dancin' in the Country" and has six songs.  He'll be singing them while on tour this fall with Keith Urban.  The full-length album comes out in January.
