Hardy returned to the stage last Thursday after taking a week off to focus on his mental health. He canceled two shows earlier this month and postponed another and was upfront about why. He said he’s been dealing with a ton of anxiety ever since his tour bus crash last year. He announced the cancelations on October 3rd, a year and a day after the crash where he and four others were seriously hurt. He stopped the show to address it at one point and got pretty emotional. He thanked fans for having his back the past couple weeks, and said he’s never felt more supported in his whole life. VIDEO

Toby Keith made a surprise appearance at Jason Aldean’s show in Oklahoma on Friday. He told the crowd that the “Almighty’s been riding shotgun” with him, and he’s ready to go back to work. And then he and Jason sang “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”.

Given that Tom Cruise is one of the biggest action movie stars in history, you’d think there’d be toys and action figures based on his characters all over the place. But there aren’t. And there’s a reason for that. Tom supposedly has a clause in his movie contracts that says his likeness CAN’T be used to create merchandise . . . including toys and video games. In fact, in the “Minority Report” video game, the main character was given blonde hair, much shorter than Tom’s in the movie, in order to avoid any similarity…I didn’t think you could GET shorter than Tom…

A source tells the newspaper, “Chris is over it and would love for her to keep his name out of her mouth.

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
