Jon Pardi loves being a newlywed, so how does it feel to be married “How does it feel to be married? It feels great! There’s not much changes, other than getting used to wearing a ring, but me and Summer and I are having a great time and gearing up for 2021 and to start writing and get me a new album this year. So, that’s the goal.  We’ll have fun. And that’s the most that’s changed, except we’re just married officially now.”

Deadline Hollywood says a “Willy Wonka” prequel is in the works. Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet are both being considered for the lead role. Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp played Wonka in previous films. The movie is tentatively titled “Willy.”

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS OLLIE!!

Ollie was found on someone’s property, and from the moment he arrived, he showed  what a truly loving and gentle boy he is. He has a soft, affectionate nature and absolutely adores being close to people. Sit down for even a moment, and Ollie will happily curl up in your lap, purring contentedly as he settles in for cuddles. He’s a sweet, calm companion who loves attention and finds comfort in simply being near his humans.

Ollie is about two years old and is  fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, so he’s all prepared for a fresh start with a family of his own. With his warm personality and desire for closeness, he would make a wonderful lap cat and a loyal friend.
