The List for Thursday, October 10th 2024

Welcome to The List,

Jelly Roll's new album "Beautifully Broken" is out tomorrow.  And recently, Jelly just said that he wrote over 150 songs before settling on the final 22 for this album. It only features three collaborations, and the other 19 are just him.

-----

"Variety" ranks the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" as the best horror movie of all time.  It's followed by "The Exorcist" and "Psycho". ..What would YOU add to that list?

-----

Jennifer Lopez is "not looking for anybody" after her divorce from Ben Affleck. She says, ": There's no new bar because I'm not looking for anybody. Because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I do when it's just me flying on my own?" It’s probably best for all the single men out there too.

-----

Joe Nichols has been playing shows for 30 years, so you know he has seen a lot.  One of his favorite stories was when a gigantic pair of undies were thrown at him onstage.  And they, quote, "Caught sail, [and] parachuted down."

You can catch The List, weekdays at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight.  Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Wednesday, October 9th 2024

Welcome to The List,

This is kinda creepy but ok….Lisa Marie Presley's posthumous memoir came out yesterday with the help of her daughter Riley Keough.  It's called "From Here to the Great Unknown". In it, Lisa Marie reveals some things you've probably never heard about . . . like how she kept her son Benjamin's body on dry ice at her home for TWO MONTHS.  Riley says that she and her mom decided to get tattoos that matched Benjamin's.  So, they had a tattoo artist come to the house to see Benjamin's tattoos . . . in person . . . on his body.

-----

ABC says Jelly Roll is inspiring fans with a new HEY DUDE shoe collection. The limited-edition slip-on features Jelly's ‘Beautifully Broken’ album cover art and will be available for purchase on Friday.

-----

Page Six says Garth Brooks is suing his accuser for damages and has publicly named her after she allegedly demanded millions from him. The country singer's legal documents claim the accuser threatened to publish lies about him to extort money. The accuser's lawyers criticized Brooks for outing her and say they will seek maximum sanctions against him.

-----

''Folie a Deux's'' poor box office performance may lead to the cancellation of ‘’Joker 3’’.   I’m surprised that they even considered it….

The List for Tuesday, October 8th 2024

Welcome to The List,

We’re not necessarily saying that Tony Buzbee . . . the attorney who's representing 120 alleged Diddy victims . . . is using this case to make a name for himself.  But he sure is making a name for himself.

Here's the latest "revelation":  Buzbee claims he sent letters to a bunch of A-list celebrities who have at least SOME knowledge of Diddy's "freak-offs", in order to "resolve matters" privately.

And he says some of these celebrities . . . people we would all recognize . . . have ALREADY SETTLED just to keep their names out of the press.

ABC is airing a "20/20" special called "Secret Life of Diddy" tomorrow night.

-----

Who do you think the most in-demand Country artist right now is?  You could make a case for Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, or Post Malone.  All of whom are very busy performers.  But Entertainment-Focus.com says it's not a guy at all . . . It's Lainey Wilson.  And that makes sense.  She is the reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year . . . Her character has an arc on the TV show "Yellowstone" . . . and since 2020, she has done 15 duets or collaborations with other artists.

-----

The Dallas Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 20 to 17 on Sunday.  But there were no winners here . . .NBC got players from both teams to sing Carrie Underwood's "Sunday Night Football" theme. Someone described it as "so bad, it's good."  That's debatable.

-----

The NY Post says moviegoers are leaving theaters in the middle of "Joker 2". Many are criticizing the lack of action and musical focus, while others actually like Joaquin Phoenix's performance.

The List for Monday, October 7th 2024

Welcome to The List,

The latest fall-out from the P. Diddy drama…The Daily Mail is reporting Kevin Hart is allegedly worried about being implicated in the ongoing assault investigation due to their close friendship. An insider says, “Kevin is on edge and doesn’t say anything, so it’s been extremely tense. There is video footage of Kevin placing him at the scene of one of his parties.”

-----

Jelly Roll tells the latest edition of Us Weekly that he recently stunned his family and friends with a skill they may not have known he possesses. “I’ve known sign language since high school because I had a friend who was deaf. I surprised my team the other day when I had a conversation with an [American Sign Language] interpreter.”

-----

The world of Country music has come together to help those in need after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.  Dolly Parton donated two million dollars . . . and Eric Church released a new song and signed over all the rights and royalties to the people of North Carolina for hurricane relief.

-----

Richard Simmons had his celebration of life on Saturday in New Orleans.  He was buried in his workout clothes to, quote, "help the saints and the angels get into shape."
