Welcome to The List,
Matthew Perry was laid to rest Friday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.
Not surprisingly, the other five “Friends”. . . Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer . . . were all there. On a more hopeful note, the Matthew Perry Foundation . . . which Matthew was planning to start before his death . . . launched on Friday. Its mission, according to its new website, is to help people “struggling with the disease of addiction.”

Blake Shelton will open his SIXTH Ole Red venue in Las Vegas in January . . . and he wants to be the first act to perform there. He says, “I don’t want anybody singing on this stage before I do. I want to break it in.” If you know Vegas, the place will be directly across from the Bellagio fountains.

“The Simpsons” is dropping one of its longest-running gags: CHILD ABUSE. In an episode a few weeks ago called “McMansion & Wife”, Homer and Marge meet a new neighbor. When Homer shakes his hand, the guy comments on his strong grip. Homer says, quote, “See, Marge, strangling the boy paid off.” But then he adds, quote, “Just kidding, I don’t do that anymore. Times have changed.” (Here’s video.) “The Simpsons” is in its 35th season.

Jordan Davis’ “Next Thing You Know” is up for Single, Song, and Video of the Year at Wednesday’s CMAs. “My buddy woke me up and gave me the news. I mean, I was shocked. I did not expect to be up for three CMAs. This song has just really taken on a life of its own.” Adding he’s super grateful and humbled to have three nominations at the CMA and really excited to be a part of it and pumped to see if this song can bring home an award.

Not many of us are fans of Hollywood and you can add Miranda Lambert TO that list. She tells the LA Times “I’m already very private and protective. And choosing the job I chose… I mean, I get on stage, I’m in front of people. But I didn’t choose random photos of moments when I wasn’t at work. TMZ has tried to come to Nashville three times, and we keep running them out. We’re like, ‘Nope, not here.’ It taught me that Hollywood is not anything I want to be part of.”
And finally, A low-budget flick called “Barbenheimer” is in the works. It’s about a doll scientist who visits the real world, sees how bad it is, and decides to build a nuclear bomb and blow it up…THIS is what we’ve come to…sounds like the latest Marvel Movies.

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

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
