The List for Friday, May 6th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Mother’s Day is this Sunday….we’re all grateful for the things we learned from her…Ingrid Andress says she Inherited Her Mother’s Work Ethic … “My mom has an incredible work ethic, and she raised five kids. And I definitely use that to this day. I don’t have kids, but I feel like the music industry is difficult and takes a lot of work, and she definitely inspired me to work really hard.”

Amber Heard continued her testimony about Johnny Depp’s alleged abuse yesterday, while Johnny’s people say she’s giving the performance of her life.  The trial is on recess until May 16th.

Will Smith is a guest star on an upcoming episode of David Letterman’s Netflix talk show, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction”.  But it was recorded BEFORE the Oscars, so there will be no mention of THE SLAP….so I guess Letterman won’t be wearing a catcher’s mask…

Shania Twain says she’s Is Proud To Be A Parent … “It’s such a joy to be a parent. So, I relate to all the mums out there who are getting all their love and appreciation from their kids, and I hope, when you’re a kid, a child of somebody, show your mum you love her, because it means everything.”  Celebrate mom this Sunday because she deserves it.

The premiere for “Top Gun: Maverick” was shown on board the U.S.S. Midway an Aircraft Carrier in San Diego…Tom Cruise arrived by Flying himself in on a helicopter and getting out like a sharped dressed man…as Tom Cruise would do.  Top Gun: Maverick (which also stars Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, and Miles Teller) arrives in U.S. theaters on May 27.

Blake Shelton and Carson Daly are creating a new game show for the USA Network called ”Barmageddon.” Nikki Bella will host the show from Blake’s Nashville bar. Celebrities will play games against one another at the bar.  And Dolly Parton tells Billboard magazine that she wants Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones to be her backing band if she records a rock album.  I might get some different rock bands, some of the classic bands, to back me on some of the songs I do and then do two or three or four originals.

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

The List for Tuesday, March 31st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Taylor Swift has officially entered her glittery legal era again. A Las Vegas performer says Taylor’s use of “The Life Of A Showgirl” is stomping all over her own brand, “Confessions of a Showgirl.” She’s suing for trademark infringement, wants damages, and an injunction too.

Only Kid Rock could turn a poolside salute into a military investigation. The Army says two Blackhawk helicopters near his Tennessee mansion were just on a Nashville training route, but now they’re checking into why they hovered there. Kid says nobody’s getting in trouble and called it pretty neat. Nothing says casual Tuesday like cannonballs, patriotism, and two black helicopters hovering near your house…

-----

Riley Green is stacking side quests like a pro. He’s making his TV debut on Marshals in mid-April. And because sleep is for other people, he’s also reportedly opening a second Duck Blind bar in Gatlinburg. At this point Riley’s building a country music cinematic universe.

-----

Thomas Rhett says one of his favorite parts of touring is trying wild new foods on the road, which sounds adventurous and expensive. Meanwhile Dylan Scott keeps it a little more backyard chaos at home, admitting he’ll wander into the kitchen at midnight and cook a full meal like it’s noon. His wife wakes up confused; he’s making dinner round two. That’s not a snack, that’s a second shift.
