The List for Friday, October 14th 2022

Welcome to The List,

One of the funniest comedy franchises of all time is getting a reboot.  A new “Naked Gun” movie is in the works, starring Liam Neeson. That’s an interesting choice, because his name is so similar to the star of the original movies, Leslie Nielsen.  And, just like Leslie, Neeson goes into it having been known primarily for serious roles. This isn’t official, but there’s word that Neeson will play the SON of Leslie Nielsen’s character, Lieutenant Frank Drebin. I want to know who’s going to play Nordberg…if you know…you know….

The “American Music Award” nominees are out.  For Favorite Country Album, it’s Carrie Underwood’s “Denim & Rhinestones”, Luke Combs’ “Growin’ Up”, Cody Johnson’s “Human: The Double Album”  and Walker Hayes’ “Country Stuff: The Album”.

Since Blake Shelton is leaving “The Voice” after the next season, Taste of Country put together a poll to see which country artist people would like to see fill his shoes.  The most popular choices are Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire, and Tim McGraw.  Who do you think you’d like to see in the red chair?

—–

Some play Basketball…others just go for a run or lift weights on tour…Now…Pickleball seems to be getting a lot of attention lately.  And in case you missed it, Maren Morris is on the cover of “Pickleball Magazine”. Oh, you didn’t get this months’ copy?  Well, she started to play it during her latest tour with her crew members… so now you know…

Looking for some child-friendly horror movies to watch with the family this Halloween?  The “Hollywood Reporter” put together a list of 23 that should do the trick.  Here are a few…“Hocus Pocus”, “Ghostbusters”, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, “Halloweentown”, and “Coraline”….I’m a Beetlejuice fan myself…

Maren Morris tells ABC that she doesn’t want her son becoming a musician. “As a parent, you support any of their dreams. But my husband and I are like, ‘please don’t end up in the music industry!’ We joke that we want him to be, like, an accountant.”   Does she really not like what she does that much?

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, PIEREE!

He is about a two year old tabby who came to the ARL as a stray. He came in with an injury to his hip, but thankfully it was the serious and has fully healed. That's when the ARL staff realized Pierre is a cuddy bug who loves to snuggle. They believe he would be good with other cats too. Since Pierre is the KIX Critter his adoption fee is half off the regular price of $50, you can make him your couch buddy for $25.00!! More info

The List for Monday, March 30th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Tiger Woods is back in the headlines after flipping his Land Rover in Florida trying to pass a truck with a trailer. The vehicle ended up on its side, he crawled out like it was no big deal, and somehow nobody was hurt. He blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer but refused a blood test and was charged with DUI and property damage. So yeah, that “no alcohol” part isn’t exactly calming anyone down.

-----

Keith Urban is dealing with some awkward rumors linking him to younger Nashville singers, and apparently his daughters are not loving the headlines. Sources say it’s a bad look no matter what, because either he comes off like a womanizer or a guy striking out. Meanwhile, the women involved are flat-out denying everything.

-----

Country legend Charlie Daniels is making a return in hologram form for America’s 250th birthday celebration. The show is set for Fort Campbell and will feature performances from Aaron Tippin and others, along with a digital version of Charlie headlining. His son says it’s a dream come true, which is sweet… but also a little “we’re living in the future now.”

-----

Michael Jordan says he still dreams about making an NBA comeback… in his 60s. He told CBS that competitive fire never really leaves, and he’d love to pick up a basketball again at that level. Which is adorable, because most of us dream about getting off the couch without making a noise.
