Welcome to The List,
Paramount is kicking off 4th of July weekend with a “Yellowstone” marathon of all five seasons. It starts tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific. Then it’ll continue at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and at noon on Monday and Tuesday. It’s a perfect time to catch up before Season 5 returns in November with its FINAL episodes. Then an untitled sequel series WITHOUT Kevin Costner will premiere sometime in December.

Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation is really taking off again this year. Her and Tractor Supply have teamed up for the third year to donate more than $250,000 to 52 animal shelters across the country. They’re selecting one beneficiary in every state . . . plus Washington D.C. and a “wildcard pick” . . . and each will get $5,000.

CMT is introducing a new, eight-episode series on July 7th. “CMT Summer Sessions” will feature artists like Ashley McBryde, Chris Janson, Jordan Davis, Lee Brice, and Tanya Tucker performing lakeside at Southall in Franklin, Tennessee.

There have been rumors that Kelly and Carrie have been feuding for years because of their respective statuses on ‘American Idol’. Kelly says there is no feud and that she doesn’t even know Carrie. “People always pit us together and we don’t even know each other well enough to be, like we’ve run into each other a handful of times. There’s not beef between us, there’s well, nothing between us. We’ve literally run into each other a few times.”

Jelly Roll says he’s not a beer drinker. Whiskey Riff quotes him as saying, “The funny thing about this is I’ve just never drank a beer. I’ve always looked at beer as men’s version of wine. It’s kind of like something, you know, girls would do. When a dude’s like oh I drank 10 beers I’m like “Or you could’ve drank 3 shots like a real man.”

The Daily Star says 92 year-old William Shatner allegedly wants to get a facelift because he wants to look younger for his 64-year-old wife, Elizabeth. A source says, “He still thinks of himself as a suave ladies man. The only woman he’s interested in is Elizabeth. He wants to look nice and youthful for her”.

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.

Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.
-----
Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
