Tis the season for holiday album announcements, and we all know the season just wouldn’t be the same without the smooth vocals of Mr. Christmas himself, Brett Eldredge. He solidified himself as an integral part of the holiday season with the release of his 2016 Christmas album, Glow, and is spreading more Christmas cheer this year with a brand-new project, Mr. Christmas! Between HIM and Mariah Carey…I think we’re covered for Christmas music.

Everyone knows and loves Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, but she’s getting downright evil for her next role. Deadline reports that she has been cast as the Evil Queen in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Snow White. It was previously announced that Rachel Zegler was cast as Snow White. Production on the movie is reportedly to start sometime in 2022. Although, an exact start date has yet to be revealed.

This week, I talked about Carol Baskin’s refusal to be a part of the Tiger King sequel today it’s Joe Exotics turn…The big cat collector shared with his 367,000 followers that he has been diagnosed with an “aggressive cancer.” Exotic didn’t specifically say the name of his cancer but he mentioned that he recently had a prostate biopsy performed and his attorney confirmed the diagnosis.

Welcome to The List,
It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
