The List for Monday, July 24th 2023

Welcome to The List,

People are still debating whether or not those social media influencers were RIGHT or WRONG to take selfies during a Miranda Lambert concert earlier this month. Now, rapper and actor LL Cool J is weighing in:  And he’s on TEAM SELFIE . . . sort of. He says Miranda should chill, and let fans be fans.  Quote, “Your job as an artist is to create art.  The way people choose to interact with that art . . . is up to them.

Jelly Roll has found himself in a place where he can give back.  He says he WANTS to be a giver for a very good reason. “The Jelly before the music was a scumbag, I was a horrible, horrible human.  I was a less than desirable human. I think that’s why I have such a heart for service now, and to help people because I was such a “Taker” for so long.  That I wanted to be a giver for the rest of my life” Adding he just wants to continue to be a voice for voiceless people.

Stop the presses!!  That $1 Billion Powerball winner might be a fake!!: Business Insider says the Los Angeles woman, who claims she won last week’s $1 billion Powerball jackpot, may be lying. The store that sold the winning ticket, the Las Palmitas Mini Market, says, “I’m not sure why she did that. I guess she just wanted to be on TV. We don’t know who the winner is yet. They still haven’t come forward.’

Whiskey Riff says Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean’s Nashville steakhouse has removed CMT from their televisions because CMT banned Jason’s video for “Try That In A Small Town”. The E3 Chophouse released a statement saying, ”We stand with Jason! E3 supports the small town because that is who we are! We will not air CMT at any of our restaurants until a formal apology is made and Jason’s music video is reinstated.’

David Letterman recently stunned shoppers at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Grimes, Iowa. Letterman was in town for the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race at Iowa Speedway. He co-owns the number #45 car driven by Christian Lundgaard. The car is sponsored by Hy-Vee. Letterman made several announcements on the store’s loudspeaker and bagged groceries for customers. He filmed several skits and snapped selfies with shoppers.

Jamie Foxx posted an Instagram video on Friday . . . his first public statement since his health emergency back in April.  He STILL hasn’t revealed what happened to him, but he did say he went to “hell and back.” Luckily though, he’s on the mend saying he was sick but coming back, his legs are under him and is ready to go back to work.

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
