Welcome to the List,
Kevin Bacon once bought farmland under the condition that he had to destroy the haunted house on the property within a month. The owner was worried Kevin would become possessed and “do some serious damage. Of course, he destroyed it. And his wife Kyra Sedgwick didn’t want to take any chances, so she didn’t let him keep ANYTHING from the house. And no, he hasn’t seen any ghosts. BUT he hopes someday it happens.

If you’ve ever seen Jackson Dean’s video for “Fearless” Just know it was a family affair! Saying it wasn’t just a story about a guy and a girl “I knew I wanted to use my brother and my sister-in-law and my niece to tell that story, because what else is greater there to fight for than your family? I can’t think of many other things.” He knew all the close-ups of them was gonna be genuine, and it was gonna be real, and it was a real family.

If you were hoping for the return of rock and roll to the Super Bowl Halftime Show . . . well, there’s always next season. Because this season, we’re getting Usher. This will actually be Usher’s SECOND halftime appearance. He also performed with the Black Eyed Peas when they headlined the show in 2011. Super Bowl 58 goes down February 11th at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tells Fox Sports that he felt pressure to throw a touchdown to Travis Kelce yesterday because Taylor Swift was at the game against the Bears. “Yeah, I heard she was in the house. I felt a little bit of pressure. So I knew I had to give it to Trav. I think he wanted to get into the end zone just as much as all the other Swifties wanted him to.” KC won 41-10.

Dustin Lynch is now a pilot! He tells Music Mayhem magazine that his friend pushing him made him get his piloting license. “He has a handful of airplanes, and he goes ‘Man I’m at least making you give it a shot, I’m sending you one of my airplanes and you can learn in it.’ That made my excuses go away fairly quickly. I obviously could have been like, ‘Hey man this isn’t for me’ and sent it back. But I didn’t want to let my buddies down.”

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.

I was a bit caught off guard with question #1 do you know that is the nickname of Iowa?
