Welcome to The List –
Brett Young says it’s going to be hard to top his hit “Lady” because it’s so personal … ” This is literally a song about my wife to my daughter. I don’t know that I’ll ever do anything that personal. Not because I don’t want to; I just don’t know that there’s something that personal that I can ever do again.”
Thomas Rhett Says “What’s Your Country Song” Includes A Shout-Out To His Father, Rhett Akins … ” I remember the first line that I spit out was, ‘Are you heart broke because you know that ain’t your truck in her drive,’ literally as a joke, just cause dad was sitting there. And as we started to write the song, it felt like it just fit. It was pretty funny, but I’m glad Dad got a shout out in that song.”
The Wrap says Sharon Osbourne is leaving “The Talk”. She and her co-hosts got into an argument after she defended Piers Morgan’s offensive comments about Meghan Markle. Perez Hilton says Sharon plans to sue CBS. They quote a source as saying, “She feels a few suits at CBS have really have got it in for her. Sharon won’t let this go.”
The Voice is scheduled to begin its first Battle Rounds of Season 20 tonight, but you’ll notice a new face sitting in coach Kelly Clarkson’s chair. Kelly will be absent from the show due to an illness, so if you’re wondering where she is, there’s no need to worry. The Battle Rounds were filmed in January, and Clarkson will soon be back in her red chair on the show — but in the meantime, she called in country music star Kelsea Ballerini to take her place.

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.
