Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs New Music
Well, Luke Combs just gave us the gift of hope for 2026 and some new tunes this Friday. He announced on X that three songs from his upcoming album are ready now, calling it The Prequel. We’re talking “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” and “My Kinda Saturday Night.” Bonus next year’s tour is named after that last one. So get ready: new music, new tour, new excuses to call in sick. Luke’s keeping us busy.

Nicole Kidman, Blake Shelton & Keith Urban Drama
Nicole Kidman’s friendship group is apparently convinced Blake Shelton knew about Keith Urban’s alleged cheating. Nicole says no one gave her a hint ..not Blake, no one… and now she’s seeing all the “signs” in hindsight. Oh, and the plot thickens: her prenup might cost her millions, with a clause paying Keith $600k per year they were together. So yes… heartbreak, betrayal, and a budget crisis all rolled into one Hollywood breakup.

Country Music & the Super Bowl
Twenty-two years without country at the Super Bowl halftime show. That’s how long it’s been since Shania Twain strutted onto the stage in thigh-high boots, blasting “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “Up!” with No Doubt and Sting backing her up. Since then? Silence. Nada. Country’s been ghosted from the biggest stage in America. Fans have been waiting, praying, and probably writing petitions. Twenty-two years later the drought is real.

In the trailer for Season 7 of “The Kardashians”, Kim says investigators told her that someone “extremely close” put out a hit on her life. There’s no word who did it . . . if it’s true . . . but people are thinking Kanye…Rating are that bad huh?

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.
