Welcome to The List,
Someone once said that major celebrity deaths come in THREES. It’s unclear who first said that . . . and if they’ve died, who were the other two people who died at the same time. We lost three beloved celebrity old-schoolers over the weekend. Nichelle Nichols from “Star Trek” . . . NBA legend Bill Russell . . . and actress Pat Carroll, who provided the voice of Ursula in “The Little Mermaid”.

Luke Bryan brought a little happiness to two boys at his show on Saturday. They were holding up a T-shirt that said, “Our dad died. Can we sing ‘Drink a Beer’ together?” Not only did he sing with them, but he also put on the shirt.

Britney Spears finished writing a tell-all, but it won’t come out anytime soon . . . because there isn’t enough paper. Lucky US…There’s apparently a global paper shortage, so until it’s resolved, there isn’t an estimated release date.

On Friday, Will Smith put out a five-minute video, where he apologizes for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. It seems sincere, but it also took him almost SIX MONTHS to put out. The video is titled “It’s been a minute,” and it HAS. Actually, it’s been about 244,000 MINUTES since the Oscars. In it he says, he’s reached out to Chris Rock and hasn’t heard anything back yet, Jada had nothing to do with it and that he is devoted to bringing joy into the world.

Tragedy struck Kenny Chesney’s show in Denver on Saturday when a fan fell off the side of an escalator and died. Police said she was sitting on the railing when it happened. Kenny was “devastated” by the news, and said he’s grieving for the woman and her family.

Twitter went wild over a fan page showing that George Jetson from “The Jetsons” was born . . . yesterday July 31st 2022…..
You can catch The List weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Oh look… the Grammy nominations are out, which means country fans are already rage-scrolling. Miranda Lambert somehow got shoved into “Contemporary” instead of “Traditional,” so I guess steel guitars are now considered EDM. And Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, AND Megan Moroney all got totally ignored. Meanwhile, a totally FAKE, A.I. country act called Breaking Rust hit #1 with “Walk the Walk.” Two million monthly Spotify listeners… for a robot band. So yes, your toaster may be the next country star. Yee-haw, Skynet.

Hollywood’s ageless action doll Tom Cruise is reportedly back on the dating market after things fizzled with Ana de Armas. Word is he’s looking for a setup and has laser-locked onto Charlize Theron. He wants to “collaborate,” which is celebrity-speak for “Let’s flirt on set and see what happens.” Charlize once called for Tom to join Fast & Furious and now his friends are telling him to go for it. Scientology meets Fast & Furious? I’d watch that more than the last three sequels.

Kim Kardashian is calling out her family psychics for promising she’d pass the bar exam. She says they’re “pathological liars,” which is rich coming from a family built on filters and plot twists. After six years of studying and multiple tries, she still didn’t pass… and now she’s dragging the tarot ladies on TikTok. Somewhere there’s a crystal in Calabasas rolling its eyes…..

Country legend Vince Gill is getting the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s CMAs. Well deserved the man’s been making music longer than most of us have been alive. The CMAs air November 19th at 8pm on ABC, so get ready for the classy part of the show before Jelly Roll shows up with a fog machine and a tattoo budget bigger than Iowa.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
