Ramona & Beezus 5/27/25 AND AN UPDATE ON A FORMER KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK!!

Welcome to The List,

The country music petty parade rolls on! Back in 2006, Rascal Flatts booted a young, late-running Eric Church off their tour—scandal!—and guess who replaced him? Taylor Swift! Fast forward to 2023, they’re STILL feuding. Rascal Flatts just threw more shade at Eric… from his own bar. That’s like showing up to someone’s house and insulting their couch. Gary said Eric "couldn't afford a watch"—then broke into Frozen. Can someone please ring Dana White? I smell a "Celebrity Cage Match."

Lainey Wilson just finished her first feature film and—shocker—she wasn’t even nervous. She says it’s probably her mama’s prayers… or maybe it’s just that country queen confidence. She’s starring in “Reminders of Him,” out Valentine’s Day 2026. So go ahead and pencil in your tear-jerking, boot-stomping movie night. And Hollywood? Better get her a Walk of Fame star made of rhinestones.

-----

Apparently, Carrie Underwood’s ready to ditch American Idol unless they start handing out pay raises and peace offerings. She’s not used to fan backlash and—oops—it hurt her feelings. The show wants her to grow into the role, but Carrie’s like, “Pay me or lose me.” The drama’s messier than a mascara meltdown in the rain. Careful Carrie, America loves you… until you ask for more money.

Cue the theme music and your credit card limit—props from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are hitting the auction block! A fedora, whip, and belt? Going for half a mil! You too can own the tools of archaeology and accidental face-melting. The 8-foot whip even has a tag from a key scene—which means for $500K, you’re basically buying sweat-soaked movie history. Good luck explaining that to your accountant.

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

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson just launched a new line of boots—because apparently country music and bedazzled footwear weren’t enough. It’s called Golden West, and she threw a bougie little launch party in Nashville with Ella Langley and Shaboozey, because obviously. Four new boot designs, So if you’ve ever wanted to stomp heartbreak with rhinestones on your feet—Lainey’s got you covered.

Forget blocking your ex—Dakota Johnson went full National Geographic on a guy who broke her friend’s heart. She admitted she mailed him a gallon of GORILLA poop. From a site literally called PoopSenders.com. You can pick cow, elephant, gorilla, or a poop party mix—because revenge is a buffet now. And it’s only $29.95! That’s cheaper than therapy! Oh, and she knows where to get pubic crabs too, but “she’s not a monster.” Just... creative.

-----

Tom Cruise wants $35 to $40 million up front to strap back into a fighter jet for Top Gun 3. Because apparently, gravity doesn’t apply to egos. The studio’s still “working on the script,” which means “praying Tom approves.” He gave them a discount last time—how generous—but now he wants the GDP of a small country just to show up. And spoiler: no Tom, no Top Gun. That franchise is basically his Scientology side hustle at this point.

Bailey Zimmerman is officially launching the SPF-free revolution, folks. He told People that men—especially redheads—deserve the right to spray tan without judgment. “Legalize tans for men!” he says. Like he’s fighting the patriarchy one orange glow at a time. Honestly, I didn’t realize we were spray-tan shaming dudes now—but Bailey’s out here doing the Lord’s work… with a can of bronze mist.
