The List for Friday, February 5th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Luke Bryan has some new music coming this spring. He'll release a deluxe edition of his 2020 album Born Here, Live Here, Die Here in April, Luke made the announcement on a livestream last night. “It’s Luke here coming at ya from Nashville. I’m just so excited to announce that on April 9th we’re going to do a deluxe edition of Born Here, Live Here, Die Here.  With COVID and everything we had some extra songs that we were able to write and record. So, it was the perfect time to put together six new songs.”

Earlier this week The List reported on Miranda Lambert and husband Brendan McLoughlin were road tripping in their beloved Airstream “The Sheriff”. Well, they had to cut their trip short days earlier than anticipated, thanks to a hit-and-run accident they were involved with on the highway. Fortunately, no one was hurt -- except for their beloved Airstream "someone in a small car with temp plates was driving erratically and tried to squeeze between them and a semi-truck going 70 " It didn't end well.  Miranda and her husband pulled off to the side and the other car sped away.

Tom Holland talks “kinda” about 'Spider-Man 3' ... “I can say that it’s the most ambitious stand-alone superhero movie ever made, and I’m just that lucky guy who happens to be Spiderman in it so. I can’t really tell you anymore than that, I’m just as excited as everyone else to see it.”  Tom has to be extra careful; he’s known for giving away to much information in interviews…notorious really…'Spider-Man 3' is scheduled to come to theaters on Friday, December 17th.

Salma Hayek has a new movie out called 'Bliss': A man whose life is in disarray meets a beautiful woman who tries to convince him he is living in a simulation. “It’s a love story about a man who is in the worst place in his life and meets a woman that tells him not to worry because none of this is real.” 'Bliss' comes to Amazon Prime video today

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

The List for Thursday, February 4th 2021

Welcome to The List –

The Super Bowl is in the air and Little Big Town will be cooking up a storm on Super Bowl Sunday…

KIMBERLY: “It’s a chili day.”

KAREN: “We need Super Bowl recipes from ''Oh Gussie!’”

PHILLIP:  “Becky learned to make fried shrimp from Luke Bryan, so I think we’re gonna have some fried shrimps.”

KIMBERLY: “Oh good!”

Darius Rucker says he’s always been a football fan…"Ever since I was five years old, I’ve loved football, and I love how physical it is. I love the chess match of the game. I love the speed of the game. I love college football, but for me, watching pro football is better, because the speed is so much more. For me, there’s two times a year, man — football season and waiting for football season"

How can you tell when a celebrity marriage is over?  Naughty Gossip says Kanye West has moved his sneaker collection out of his marital home in Calabasas, California. Over 500 shoes were taken. Next is the sox to match and foot spray. Oh, yeah, you can stick a fork in that marriage…

TMZ is reporting that Lamar Odom has agreed to fight Aaron Carter in a celebrity boxing match. Odom is 41 years old while Carter is 33. Odom is nine inches taller than Carter. It kind of reminds me of the MTVs Celebrity Death matches…The three-round exhibition will take place on June 12th in Atlantic City.

The Golden Globe nominations are out, and Jimmy Fallon talks about how many Netflix received.” Netflix lead the way with Forty-Two nominations. Granted it took them Ten-thousand movies and shows to get there but still…. impressive. Honestly, it’s like winning roulette by putting chips on every number.”

The List for Wednesday, February 3rd 2021

Welcome to The List

Congratulations to Lady A! Officially part of the Grand Ole Opry…what does it all mean to Charles Kelley? "I mean, it really, truly was a surprise. All my friends have asked me, they’re like, ‘Did you know?’ And we had absolutely no idea. I know it just meant the world to the three of us. It means the world to our family, and can’t think of anybody that I would want more than Darius Rucker to have been the guy that welcomed us in.”  Their surprise invitation and performance will air during Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music, premiering February 14th on NBC.

Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard says he loves wearing his coronavirus mask... "It’s been fun walking through Target and feelin’ … you know, not that we’re always getting recognized or that we’re getting hassled, or that it’s anything like that, and so, with a mask on, you’re like nobody knows it’s me, I can do whatever. And I don’t know, there is some freedom in that. It’s kind of fun.”

TERRIBLE "Dad Joke" About Cows... "What do you call a cow that doesn't produce milk? An udder failure, and a milk dud."

The feelers are out for who’s going to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond…Woman's Day magazine is reporting that Tom Hardy and Idris Elba are battling over the roll. “Idris will have producers bashing down the doors to get the conversation rolling. Hardy is refusing to comment about the rumors for fear of jinxing his chance.”

Comedian Frank Caliendo Imagines President Donald Trump Playing Batman ... Frank wore a Batman mask and impersonated former President Trump playing a crime fighter in Gotham City…what do you think, pretty good…

The List for Tuesday, February 2nd 2021

Welcome to The List –

Blake Shelton told Luke Bryan that he wants to lose some weight before his wedding to Gwen…but it hasn’t gone so well. “I’m just hoping to catch the stomach flu or something before the wedding. Maybe a two-week stomach flu. So I can’t eat for two weeks, that’s what I’m hoping for.”

Kelsea Ballerini says being in therapy helped her write her latest album. “It’s really, if you’re able to a really healthy thing.  I would have been able to write half the songs if I hadn’t had someone who was kinda being like how do you feel about that, why do you feel that way about that?”

Apparently, New York got some snow…Ethan Hawke tells Stephen Colbert he finally took charge as a dad…and made his girls shovel the snow… “and I watched from the window…and I said put a little rock salt down. The girls worked really hard and they did a good job. I was proud of them.”

Dark days the last few for Hollywood…first Dustin Diamond passes on Monday. Now Actor Hal Holbrook has passed he was 95 and we learn today that singer Tony Bennet has been battling Alzheimer’s the past four years. All in all, 20-21 isn’t starting out as well as it could…

Mashable claims Disney+ has greenlit a Wakanda TV series from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. No word on an air date

And speaking of New York snow “What a crazy storm it’s been so far.  Freezing temperatures, high winds multiple feet of snow.  Today even the ant-maskers were like ‘ok, give me on.”
