Welcome to The List,
I can sum up last night’s “People’s Choice Awards” in three words: Lizzo . . . Selma . . . Shania. Lizzo received the People’s Champion Award, “To be an icon isn’t about how long you’ve had your platform. Being an icon is what you do with that platform.” Then she brought 17 female activists onstage, introducing each one by name, and explaining the work they do Selma Blair won Competition Contestant of the Year for doing “Dancing with the Stars” while battling MS. Shania Twain picked up the Music Icon Award and proved exactly why she deserved it with a fantastic medley of her hits.

Kane Brown tells Music Mayhem magazine that he plans to do another duet with his wife. Saying, “The support me and my wife have gotten for our song warms both our hearts. There will definitely be another song with us in the future. We’re gonna write another song and release it. We just want it to be better than this one.”

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were honored by GoFundMe.com for helping raise $37 million for Ukrainian refugees. Their effort is the second-largest campaign in GoFundMe history.

Joe Rogan has issued a challenge to The Rock: Admit you’re on steroids. On a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan said, quote, “The Rock should come clean right now . . . “There’s not a chance in hell he’s clean, not a chance in hell as big as The Rock is at 50” ..Adding He is so massive and he’s so different than he was when he was 30.” And while he didn’t directly accuse them, he noted that Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman got “super-jacked” for their superhero roles.

Showtime says “George & Tammy” was its most-watched premiere ever. Jessica Chastain stars as Tammy Wynette, and Michael Shannon plays George Jones. It aired Sunday on Showtime, Paramount+, and CMT, and pulled in 3.3 million combined viewers. You can probably catch it still on those streaming networks.

The Judd family is dropping their lawsuit over Naomi Judd’s death records. They were trying to block the release of the police files over privacy concerns. But now, they’re letting it go. A judge is expected to approve the voluntary dismissal.

Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
