The List for Friday, March 3rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

This is what you want from your viral marketing:  Paramount hired a guy to promote “Scream 6” by hanging around Sonoma Plaza in California dressed as the killer, Ghostface. Well, people who didn’t know he was being paid called 911 . . . The studio chose an interesting spot, given that scenes from the original “Scream” were filmed in the area back in 1996.  “Scream 6” hits theaters next Friday.

Lainey Wilson pledged to donate $1 from every ticket for her sold out tour to We Are Moving the Needle.  It’s a nonprofit organization that supports women in the recording and professional audio industry.  Laney said, quote, “Thank you for the genuine and continued support to lift up women in music.”

Something wicked this way comes in the haunting first look at Disney’s newest cinematic take on its popular amusement park attraction.  The studio dropped a teaser trailer for the upcoming pic, and The minute-and-a-half look teases how Gabbie, a single mother and new owner of a very haunted mansion, teams up with a ragtag group to help her and her 9-year-old son, Travis stave off the home’s spooky inhabitants. You can see it below.

Matthew McConaughey and his wife were recently on a flight from Austin, Texas to Washington DC when they experienced severe turbulence. Their flight dropped 4,000 feet. Seven people were sent to the hospital. The plane was diverted. Everyone is expected to be okay.

Sam Hunt’s got a heck of a romantic bone when it comes to his music, but he’s really thinking ahead when it comes to his daughter.  He tells People magazine that he didn’t want to give his daughter a beautiful girl name. “Her name is Lucy Louise. I tell people that I wanted to give her old lady names. I don’t want to have to deal with guys coming over when she’s older.”

And lastly…Cinema Blend says Blake Shelton’s TV show, “Barmageddon”, has been renewed for a second season by the USA Network. It’s a fun show if you haven’t seen it…

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??

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