KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK Claire 2/24/2026

Welcome to The List,
Apparently, some movie theaters tried to have a last minute advance screening of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and it didn’t go well. Multiple sources say theaters were NOT happy with having to prepare for potential mass demand with so little advance notice. The irony is, the demand probably wasn’t all that great. Due to the last-minute call for the advance screenings, theaters were reporting weak crowds.

Dustin Lynch at one time was on a different path…he went to Med School before making it big. But what did his parents think of him dropping out for Country music? “When my parents started traveling around seeing the cash I was getting. They were like ‘this is good, this is fun, we can have fun with you and you’re making good money and making rent and you’re off our payroll’

Jason Aldean tells Billboard magazine that he doesn’t need to win awards to know his songs are good. “I would much rather have thousands of people screaming my songs back to me than have any number of awards. When it comes down to it, you’d rather have the people like the songs than the critics.”

America’s Got Talent: Extreme is being sued by a contestant who got injured during the practice session of his stunt for the show. The stunt involved two cars exploding in mid-air and HE got smashed between them and fell 20 feet to the ground. He survived and is now suing NBC saying the network and the show’s producers kept encouraging contestants to perform bigger and more dangerous stunts, while cutting corners on safety to save money. And it nearly cost him his life.

Saying “Will came into the trailer and he’s standing over me and he’s like, ‘I don’t appreciate that, man. I don’t appreciate that.’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ And [he’s biting his lip like] he might do something.”

Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs just welcomed baby number three, and at this point he’s not running a family… he’s running a small football team. His new son is named Chet Wiley Combs, joining big brothers Tex and Beau, which also sounds like a law firm that only handles tractor-related lawsuits. Nicole is now outnumbered four to one, which means Luke finally achieved his lifelong dream… living in a non-stop WWE event with juice boxes.

Matthew McConaughey says AI actors are coming for the Oscars, which means in five years the Best Actor speech will just be a laptop saying “Thank you… processing emotions.” The upside is AI doesn’t age, doesn’t argue, and doesn’t show up late. The downside… your favorite movie star might soon be a Dell Inspiron with better abs than you.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are getting sued over their restaurant “1587 Prime” by a sneaker company called “1587 Sneakers,” which proves two things… lawyers are undefeated, and apparently numbers are now copyrighted. Somewhere right now, the number 7 is hiring security and filing paperwork just to stay out of trouble.
-----
Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly texting late at night, which means somewhere Nicole Kidman is casually holding Keith’s phone like, “Oh look… Jennifer sent another smiley face.” Sources say matchmakers want them together, and honestly, if this happens, country and pop fans will unite faster than free beer at a wedding.
