Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett talks about how sometimes writing his new album ‘Country Again: Side A’ which is what he was doing during the pandemic.

Maybe you should just pour yourself into something else while you have the time to do it.”
Blake Shelton Teases Nick Jonas For Leaving “The Voice” … “I’m gonna miss Nick, kinda like you would miss a skin tag. It was a part of you for a minute. But, you know you need to get rid of it.

Radar Online says Kelly Clarkson’s daytime talk show will take over Ellen’s time slot when Ellen retires.

Hola magazine claims Kim Kardashian has failed the first bar exam she has taken. They quote her as saying, “I did not pass the baby bar. If you do law school the way that I’m doing it, it is a four-year program instead of your typical three-year program.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….

Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
