Luna- 1/26/2021

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK!

Meet Luna! This sweet girl is a 1 year old Shepard mix waiting for her

perfect family! She was surrendered to the shelter because her previous owners had to move and unfortunately could not take her with. Luna gets along great with dogs, and cats. She has a lot of energy to burn! She would do best in a family that is highly active, as she loves to keep busy! She loves to play with any toy that is offered to her.

Her adoption fee of $125 includes her spay, vaccinations, treatment for intestinal parasites, various other treatments, a heartworm test, and a microchip.

Welcome to The List -

Thomas Rhett On His Hit Single, "What's Your Country Song" ... He says the song is about how everyone has a song that connects with them on a special level. “It’s really just a song about how everyone’s got that one song that really just takes them back to a moment in time, I’m just glad it’s out. It’s one of my favorite songs to record.”

Jimi, Karen, Kimberly and Phillip all have a go-to pandemic drink they like, the Wine, Beer and Whiskey singers have their favorites. Kimberly likes wine as well as Karen, but Philip loves his Crown Royal from a freezer and tequila…but Jimi what does he go for? “I definitely go for the Whiskey, that’s my go-to.  I like it on a big cube, what I really love is E.H. Taylor…it’s so good, like caramel in a glass.”

No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's last James Bond movie, has been delayed again.

The List for Friday, January 22nd 2021

Welcome to The List -

We start today with Kenny Chesney; He says he writes music that makes him happy. “I just feel like the songs that made me happy, the songs that I wrote, kinda reflected my family my friends.  The reflected how I walk through the world, and what makes me happy when I listen to music.”

Eric Church Announces THREE New Albums ... The project is called “Heart And Soul” “They came out of my Twenty-Eight days in the mountains of North Carolina where the songs were recorded and written.  It’s been a long ten months, I can not wait to play this music for you live, it’s the very best we’ve ever made. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the records. The project consists of three records pressed in white vinyl with the first release coming out April 16th.

"Walker" Star Jared Padalecki explains to Kelly and Ryan what is so different about the reboot of the new “Walker, Texas Ranger”. “This isn’t a show about a Texas Ranger who happens to have a family, this is a show about a father and a widower who happens to be a Texas Ranger.” He says It’s not scary like Supernatural was and is set in present day. "Walker" airs Thursdays on The CW.

Dark Horizons says HBO is developing a new ''Game of Thrones'' series called “Tales of Dunk and Egg.” It comes George RR Martin's fantasy novellas. The events take place 90 years prior to the events depicted in ''Game of Thrones.''

And Spider-Man star Tom Holland tells MovieWeb that he wants to do a horror movie, but he’s terrified of it. “Get Out” was the only horror film he’s ever really seen…so, now he can’t have tea and they’re stirring it he can’t help but wonder thinking if someone is trying to hypnotize him.

The List for Thursday, January 21st 2021

Welcome to The List -

Somebody’s having a birthday!!  The Grand Ole Opry celebrates its 95th birthday next month, and the famed institution is marking the occasion with a television special hosted by two of country music's biggest stars. Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton. Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music, is a two-hour special that will air Sunday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

 Luke Bryan On "Down To One" is currently at number 2 on the Country Music Charts and looking to take over as his 26 number one.  First time I heard it — it’s written by one of my dear friends, Dallas Davidson, who I’ve had a lot of success with as a co-writer with through the years — it just sounds like a big ole hit. Guy and a girl out there, in the middle of nowhere enjoying a moment together, a romantic moment, and I always feel like you gotta have those on an album."

 Is Kanye going for it in 2024? Hollywoodlife.com thinks so. They’re reporting Kanye West will start thinking about a 2024 Presidential run in the next several days. A source tells the website, He’s working and focusing on music right now. The next time he wants to be in the White House is with him being the president himself.

The National Enquirer claims Chris Hemsworth and Jason Momoa are allegedly feuding as both are filming new movies in Australia. A source tells the magazine, “They both have huge egos, and they’ve been sniping at each other since Jason has been making himself comfortable on Chris’ home turf in Australia. Now things are getting a little personal. Chris has gotten a little miffed of all the attention Jason’s gotten in his own backyard.''
