Welcome to The List,
We will try our best to sift through all the “Swifty” News out today…
If you’re a member of the actors’ union, you’d better think twice about your Halloween costume this year. Because SAG-AFTRA is prohibiting members from dressing up as characters from “struck content,” and posting images on social media. And that includes some of this year’s hottest costumes, like Barbie and Wednesday Addams. The union asked members to, quote, “choose costumes inspired by generalized characters and figures: ghost, zombie, spider, etc.” Ryan Reynolds Tweeted, quote, “I look forward to screaming ‘scab’ at my 8-year-old all night. She’s not in the union but she needs to learn.”…Well, I’m not an actor…so, I’m kinda looking forward to dressing up as “Barbie” this year.

Now we know who to blame for “Yellowstone’s” Luke Grimes music career. He says he wasn’t sure about doing a country album, until Lainey Wilson guest-starred on the show. The cast and crew were so supportive of her being there that it took some of his fear away. His debut EP, “Pain Pills or Pews”, is out today. You may know him as Kayce Dutton on “Yellowstone”, but he’s been doing music for a while. His old band Mitchell’s Folly released an album in 2008.

Will Smith appeared with Jada Pinkett Wednesday night at a promotional event for her new book “Worthy” in Baltimore. He called the relationship “Brutiful” . . . because it’s both brutal and beautiful. He also called it, quote, “a sloppy public experiment in unconditional love.”..he can call it what he wants. I can come up with a couple other names that might fit.

The Daily Mail says Matthew McConaughey was recently granted a five-year restraining order against a woman he claims has stalked him since 2022 with ‘unhinged letters, emails, and frivolous lawsuits.’ She even showed up at his book signing in Los Angeles last month. The woman is described as delusional and a threat. Is her name “Karen” by chance?

One of the tracks on Tim McGraw’s latest album describes his relationship with his wife, fellow country music icon Faith Hill, “to a T.” McGraw opened up about what “Her” means to him in a new clip shared on Instagram on Thursday. “Her is one of the first songs I recorded for this album. It was one of the first songs I collected for the album. I loved every second of it, every line, every verse. It’s to a “T” everything about my wife.”

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.
-----
The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
You can catch The List, this afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
