Chad 6/8/2021

This week's KIX Critter is Chad.

He's a sweet and lovable senior guy who is looking for someone to give out free chin rubs. He would do best in a quiet home with older kids and pets and someone who could give him a lot of attention. With those

gorgeous blue eyes and pretty markings, who could resist a face like that!?

Chad's adoption fee is $25, which includes his neuter, vaccines, microchip, and other various treatments. For questions, please contact the Animal Rescue League!

The List for Monday, June 7th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Congratulations to Garth Brooks being recognized as one of the greatest of all time at the 43rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors…He recalls stepping away from country music to raise his family. “The Country music audience has given you everything. Now you simply ask them ‘I’m going to go home and raise my babies’.  The big surprise was never ever thinking they were going to let you back in.”  Not only did they let you back in after 14 years, but did it with open arms.

Luke Bryan, who kicks off his world tour on July 8th in Syracuse, tells CMT that touring is not always glamorous. Saying "Sometime you get in bad highways, I don't miss that. I mean, when you are getting thrown around your bus like popcorn poppin', I don't miss that. But um, other than that, it's pretty amazing." …kinda sounds like a country song to me…

Clarence Williams III, the beloved actor on television, film and stage died Friday, per his management's communications with The Hollywood Reporter. Williams, best known for his role as Lincoln "Linc" Hayes in The Mod Squad starred in the Aaron Spelling ABC crime drama for all five seasons between 1968 to 1973. He also played Prince’s Father from Prince's movie Purple Rain. Clarence Williams III died in Los Angeles from colon cancer at the age of 81.

"Fear The Walking Dead" Star Jenna Elfman dishes on her character's journey ahead of next Sunday's season finale. “She’s lost her daughter, now lost her husband. But, with all of these blows and now some closure.  She’s starting to use all of these experiences and convert it to some knowledge and strength and skill and she’s pushing forward.” The "Fear the Walking Dead" season finale airs Sunday.

The List for Friday, June 4th 2021

Welcome to The List,

You wouldn’t know by looking at her but Miranda Lambert says she still gets nervous performing on television. ”I just try to think of it as, just go do what I do.  I do one thing and when I get freaked out about what it is or who the audience is I just pretend that I’m up on a stage at Billy Bobs and doin what I do and it does calm me down.”

Blake Shelton Says "Minimum Wage" Was Meant To Be Performed Live ... “I just thought wow you know I could just see us kickin off a concert and really milking that intro for a while.  It’s not one of those song you have to think super hard about.  It’s just a really great message and a great love song.”

 Bad news on the set of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 7,  it looks like several of the cast and crew have tested positive for the coronavirus. A source tells the National Enquirer, that “The whole shooting crew, about 60 people, have all had to self-isolate for 14 days…With all the setbacks, accidents and temper tantrums this film is starting to look like a mission impossible.

Patrick Wilson talks about his new movie "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It." Patrick says the movie follows the previous films' tradition of basing their plots on true stories. “The case is based on a true story, as all the Conjuring films are.  It’s the first case in United States history, were demonic possession was used as an alibi for homicide.  The question becomes, that he said that he was possessed.” We took a look at "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" yesterday, you can check it out at KIXWEB.COM under ‘At The Movies” "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” is in theaters and streaming today on HBO Max.

And on this international Donut day…Psycho Donuts in San Jose is serving up the Dead Elvis Donut. custard-filled donut with peanut butter, bananas, bacon and jelly….the king baby…thank you very much
