Welcome to The List,
Big Bang Theory star Kate Micucci is recovering from lung cancer surgery, even though she’s only 43, and has never smoked a cigarette. She says they caught it early and got it out. She added, quote, “I’ll probably be moving slow for a few weeks, but then I’ll be back at it.” Kate played Lucy on “The Big Bang Theory”, and Shelley on “Raising Hope”.

Thomas Rhett is a pretty busy guy with four kids at home and a thriving music career, but it turns out he actually finds time to read, and he dives into some pretty heavy stuff. “I’m usually reading some sort of history about the Bible type book. Like, I’m reading a book right now called Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes, and it’s super in-depth, and will probably take me a year to finish. I wanna say the last fiction book I read, I think was Harry Potter, and that would’ve been, I don’t know, 20 years ago?”

George Clooney makes sure that he handles the cooking for his family, NOT his lawyer wife Amal. He says, quote, “She’s one of the great advocates of the world, she takes on ISIS and all these things . . . but I better be doing the cooking, or we will all die.” George will be cooking a “little Christmas turkey” for the holidays this year. He also made one for Thanksgiving.

Lainey Wilson and Hardy just wrapped up their tour together, and Lainey celebrated by surprising Hardy with a custom guitar. It has a mockingbird and a crow etched onto the top, as well as Hardy’s name. Hardy had a gift for Lainey too. She opened an envelope and saw that he was putting her up at Blackberry Farm “for a few days.” It’s a luxury hotel and resort in Walland, Tennessee. I’ve always said the way to a woman’s heart sometimes is a good spa day…

Drew Barrymore loves Oprah. I mean I REALLY loves Oprah. And she proved it yesterday when she had Oprah on her show. During their chat, Drew basically cuddled up to Oprah on the couch and locked fingers with her. Then with her other hand, she started STROKING OPRAH’S ARM. Oprah didn’t seem to think it was weird. But it made some viewers uneasy.

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
