Welcome to The List,

Kids…ya gotta love ’em,  Especially the really young ones…in large numbers… Thomas Rhett knows all to well the chaos he went through just like most parents when he took his four of his kids out to eat. "I took all four to Chick-fil-A the other day. That was an act of God, because any time that you’re with an infant – not that every kid is not as important – but when you are literally strollering an infant into a restaurant, the other three are kinda like, ‘Hey, I hope I’ve taught you enough to where you don’t sprint into the street and you’re holding somebody’s hand, and we don’t start throwing French fries in Chick-fil-A.” Adding those are the moments that he’ll remember  when I’m like 55 or 60 years old.”

Jamey Johnson just got inducted into the Grand Ole Opry over last weekend and Carly Pearce remembers her FIRST visit.  "First time I actually got to go to the Opry, I think I was 15, 16. I just freaked out. My mom got us like second row tickets because she knew that I had to see it up close. And this is gonna be funny, but I wore a little white tank top because Dierks Bentley was there and he was a new artist, and he was singing ‘What Was I Thinkin’,’ which is funny. Maybe I’ll tell him that someday.”

We all know that Ben Stiller can do comedy.  But what about horror?  He's going to get his chance, but on the STAGE. Ben will play Jack Torrance in a theater production of "The Shining".  It'll open next January in London. That's the part Jack Nicholson played in the 1980 movie version, but the new play will stick closer to the original Stephen King novel.

-----

Christina Ricci has returned to her "Addams Family" roots.  She's going to be in the Netflix series, "Wednesday" that Tim Burton is making.

Jenna Ortega is playing a teenage Wednesday, who is attending Nevermore Academy.  Catherine Zeta-Jones is playing Morticia and Luis Guzman is Gomez.

Welcome to The List,

They say you are your OWN worst critic.   Cody Johnson is no different.... He says he can't stand to listen to his songs after he's recorded them “When I hear, because I play live so much. When I hear my recordings, they don’t always come back the way I want them.  I’m always ‘Ah I don’t like THIS..or we’ve changed it on stage.” He says that you poor yourself and time into the studio for so long, by the time it goes out to everyone he doesn’t want to listen to music for a month or two.

The Big 12 is in action in March Madness…and Brett Young Thinks Duke Is Going To Win 'March Madness' ... "I mean, born and raised a UCLA basketball fan. But over the past couple of years and I know they’re back and they’re better now but I’ve kind of lost interest, not lost interest, but I haven’t kept up as much as I’d like to with them. From what I’ve seen, I don’t know if they’re this good in the season, I don’t know how Duke doesn’t just dominate once we get into the playoffs, into the bracket.  There are a lot of great teams in college basketball right now, but if I had to bet on anybody it would be Duke hands down."  You can catch the Iowa State Cyclones as they take on LSU tonight on Kix 101.1 coverage begins at 5:15.

We’ve always heard that Tom Cruise was one of the actors considered for the roll of Tony Stark for Marvels Iron Man…. well he tells the Indian Express Newspaper that it was true and he turned it down  Saying “It had to be done in a way that I know it’s gonna be something special. And it just didn’t feel to me like it was gonna work. I need to be able to make decisions and make the film as great as it can be, and it just didn’t go down that road that way.”  Sounds to ME he wanted it HIS way and THEY wanted it MARVELS way…
