Welcome to The List,
Tis the season and before to long, Oprah will be out with her favorite things, Amazon will have a retail list out and even Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2023 Goop Holiday Gift Guide is available now. It includes a leather tennis ball holder for $350, a Hermès doghouse for $1,925, and Chanel roller skates for $5,125….Those are just the few that I can mention here….

I think I KNOW why these young country stars are getting divorced. They never talk to each other. Morgan Evans was blindsided when Kelsea Ballerini called it quits. His breakup song even had the lyric, “why am I just finding out?” And now we’re hearing Ryan Hurd say the same stuff about Maren Morris filing for divorce. A source told “Us Weekly“ that Ryan “wasn’t expecting it” . . . and Maren’s decision, “seems to have come out of the blue.” Ryan hasn’t made an official statement yet.

The Daily Dot says Kansas City Chiefs fans are blaming Taylor Swift for their team’s loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Conspiracy theorists believe the loss was part of a scripted plan. Twitter users say Swift’s absence from the game resulted in the Chiefs playing poorly. Others believe that the real factors were Patrick Mahomes’ illness and the cold weather.

Now that the writers strike is over, these busy bees are hard at work on movie sequels. The worlds of “It Follows” and “Poltergeist” are being expanded. “It Follows”, the 2014 movie about a sexually transmitted . . . um, Ghost? Demon? . . . is getting a sequel called “They Follow”. Original star Maika Monroe is returning. There’s no word on plot details. And Amazon is in the early stages of developing a TV series based on the 1982 horror classic “Poltergeist”. Once again, there are no details, except that the show will be set “within the world of the film.

Eric Church tells GAC that he had a great Halloween costume in college. Although, it’s not best to wait till the last minute. They drove all over to find a costume and all the places were sold out. Until they came across this hole in the wall place that had all original Sesame Street costumes. They went out as Elmo, Cookie Monster and Eric was Big Bird.

And lastly, speaking of “Sesame Street” They’ll have a few changes for season 56, when it comes out in 2025. Instead of a “magazine-style” format, it’ll be two narrative-driven segments with a new animated series in between them.

In theaters this weekend – “Crime 101”
Weaving a tale of an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker who is facing her own crossroads, forcing the two to collaborate.

Welcome to The List,
Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.
You can catch The List, this afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
