The List for Thursday, December 8th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Jennifer Lawrence made a statement to “Variety” that she’s gonna need to backpedal on.  It wasn’t really offensive or anything, but it was pretty dumb. In a new interview, she said nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie before “The Hunger Games”.  Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Angelina Jolie, Pam Grier, and many others would like to have a word with her.

Blake Shelton is the cover story of this week’s “People”.  One interesting thing he talked about was how “The Voice” took a chance on him when he started on the show back in 2011.  It was 10 years into his career as a country artist . . . and never really made it to the ‘A Level’ of country artist until becoming a coach on the show…Now, he’s looking at his last season on ‘The Voice’ and going forward…creating more music and gardening with Gwen.

Country Now took the guess work out of what you’ll be seeing on tonight’s “CMA Country Christmas”.  They made a list of every song that will be performed, and I’m in for all of it.  But if I had to pick the moment I’m looking forward to the most, I’d go with the Carly Pearce – Molly Tuttle bluegrass medley. The CMA Country Christmas airs tonight 8pm on ABC.

I can’t believe Hardy’s been hiding this from us since his wedding in October.  The other day he shared a video of Ozzy Osbourne congratulating him and his wife Caleigh on their big day, and wishing them “a wonderful life together.”  Ozzy also calls Hardy by his first name, Michael. I’d LIKE to play the audio for you…but…it’s Ozzy…so…you know…

—–

 The original “Avatar” will air on ABC on Sunday, just days before the sequel hits theaters.  It’ll be the first time it’s ever been on broadcast TV AND it’s starting early, at 7pm, to fit in all three-thousand hours of blue people mayhem, with commercials. The broadcast is set to end at 10:30pm.  Avatar: The Way of Water is in theaters December 15th.

—–

And finally, sadly, Fox cancelled the country music drama “Monarch” after one season..the season and SHOW finale was Tuesday night.

You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, PIEREE!

He is about a two year old tabby who came to the ARL as a stray. He came in with an injury to his hip, but thankfully it was the serious and has fully healed. That's when the ARL staff realized Pierre is a cuddy bug who loves to snuggle. They believe he would be good with other cats too. Since Pierre is the KIX Critter his adoption fee is half off the regular price of $50, you can make him your couch buddy for $25.00!! More info

The List for Monday, March 30th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Tiger Woods is back in the headlines after flipping his Land Rover in Florida trying to pass a truck with a trailer. The vehicle ended up on its side, he crawled out like it was no big deal, and somehow nobody was hurt. He blew a 0.00 on a breathalyzer but refused a blood test and was charged with DUI and property damage. So yeah, that “no alcohol” part isn’t exactly calming anyone down.

-----

Keith Urban is dealing with some awkward rumors linking him to younger Nashville singers, and apparently his daughters are not loving the headlines. Sources say it’s a bad look no matter what, because either he comes off like a womanizer or a guy striking out. Meanwhile, the women involved are flat-out denying everything.

-----

Country legend Charlie Daniels is making a return in hologram form for America’s 250th birthday celebration. The show is set for Fort Campbell and will feature performances from Aaron Tippin and others, along with a digital version of Charlie headlining. His son says it’s a dream come true, which is sweet… but also a little “we’re living in the future now.”

-----

Michael Jordan says he still dreams about making an NBA comeback… in his 60s. He told CBS that competitive fire never really leaves, and he’d love to pick up a basketball again at that level. Which is adorable, because most of us dream about getting off the couch without making a noise.
