The List for Friday, September 15th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Salma Hayek looks GOOD at 57 and says the secret is meditation!  She doesn’t have the discipline for exercising saying it’s hard to do…but, meditation is a walk in the park, because it’s my own form of it.” She says that every day she takes time to, quote, “sit in a moment” with herself. If she doesn’t do it, everything starts to drop.

You may not believe this, but Carrie Underwood’s home life is very similar to yours and mine.  Oh, there may be a “slightly” bigger house with slightly fancier things . . . but they’re doing the same mundane stuff we all do. “The kids go to school.  My husband usually takes them, but the second they leave it’s like, gotta vacuum [make] their beds and check their rooms  make sure there are no wet towels on the floor, stuff like that” Carrie does a lot of gardening, cooking, canning something and before you know it she says they come home and we make dinner.  Carrie’s Las Vegas residency just announced more dates for 2024…and Denim and Rhinestones Deluxe is out September 22nd

Aaron Rodgers took the first step in his return to football after tearing his Achilles … he says he had successful surgery, posting an update from his hospital bed!!!  The New York Jets star quarterback shared a positive injury update Thursday on social media, saying he went under the knife Wednesday … reporting the procedure “went great”. Aaron’s going to turn 40 years old in December, so a comeback will be no easy task … but he’s got the first hurdle out of the way.

Jimmie Carter, the 39th President will be 99 years old October 1st, and wheels are in motion to ensure that it’s his most meaningful birthday yet.  The result is a grand “Jimmy Carter 99” campaign, asking people around the world to send messages to President Carter — be them birthday wishes, fond memories or tributes — on the Carter Center website or by posting on social media the #JimmyCarter99 hashtag.

Kelsea Ballerini pulled off a fun wardrobe change at the “MTV Video Music Awards” on Tuesday night . . . WHILE she was onstage . . . hidden behind some fog.  If you’re wondering how it happened, Kelsea shared some silly footage from backstage on TikTok, where she’s talking through it . . . but she didn’t quite have it down yet.

And lastly, They announced the first round of performers for the inaugural “People’s Choice Country Awards” . . . and it’s tight.  It includes Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini, Kane Brown, Carly Pearce, Dan + Shay, Toby Keith, and Little Big Town.  The show airs September 28th on NBC

The List for Thursday, February 19th 2026

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
