Sunday 22nd March 2026
Welcome to The List,
Props and puppets from Jim Henson’s Muppet empire are hitting the auction block for the first time ever. We’re talking over 400 items from Fraggle Rock to The Dark Crystal. Oh, and if you’ve got a spare 25 grand lying around, you can snag yourself a full-body Dark Crystal puppet. Online bidding starts October 22nd, so go ahead and max out the credit card in the name of childhood nostalgia.

Country up-and-comer Zach Top told American Songwriter that life on the road is basically like living in a blender constant movement, never waking up in the same town, trying to figure out where he is every morning. He says he’s grateful for it… mostly. But sometimes, he misses the simple life he grew up with. …he loves chasing his dream, but man, a little steady Wi-Fi wouldn’t hurt.

Chris Hemsworth says prepping to play Thor in the new Avengers: Doomsday means eating like a Viking raid. He’s slamming down eight to ten meals a day, clocking 4,000 calories. And no, it’s not pizza and cheeseburgers apparently Marvel wants Thor jacked, not bloated. Meanwhile, I eat two tacos and need a nap.

Chuck Norris just turned 85, and how did he celebrate? By climbing a mountain. Correction: an active volcano. Because of course he did. The guy doesn’t blow out birthday candles, he just stares at them until the fire gives up.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.
-----
Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
