KIX-KLASH RE-HASH

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson is walking into the biggest week of her life like it’s just another Tuesday. She’s hosting the CMA Awards solo for the first time ever, plus she’s one of the top nominees with six nods. No pressure. She said her family watched the CMAs like the Super Bowl, so she knows how rare this gig is. Only Dolly and Reba have done it, and the last time was 1991. She even texted Reba for advice… and Reba didn’t send a tip, she sent a whole syllabus. But Lainey’s cool, calm, and hat-ready. Country Music’s Biggest Night hits ABC tomorrow, and Hulu the day after.

Nicole Kidman is reportedly considering spending the holidays with ex-husband Keith Urban for the sake of the kids. Because nothing says festive like emotional gymnastics. A source says Nicole has “big feelings,” but she’s willing to shove them in a closet so the girls can have a normal Christmas. Apparently she’s used to coordinating everything anyway, so what’s one more awkward holiday?

Dancing with the Stars producers have lost their minds in the best way. They want Tom Bergeron yes, the host to come back as a contestant. After his guest-judging glow-up, a producer says he “brought the magic back” and they want him on the dance floor now. Imagine firing the guy, then years later begging him to salsa for you.

Ariana Grande just hinted that there might be another Wicked movie. At a panel she basically pulled out her inner Cher and said, “There’s always another farewell tour.” At this point, they’re milking Wicked like it’s a Marvel franchise. How many ways can you skin that cat? Apparently… we’re about to find out.

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.
