The List for Wednesday, July 6th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The “Forbes” list of the richest self-made women in America is out.  Pop star Rihanna is the youngest billionaire on the list.  She’s 34 and valued at $1.4 billion.  Other celebrities who made the list include Kim Kardashian ($1.8 billion), Kylie Jenner ($600 million), and Madonna ($575 million).

Scotty McCreery tells People Magazine that he and his wife are ready for their first baby. Saying, “We got a little man on the way. We always knew we wanted kids, but we always knew we wanted to travel and have time on the road, to see things and experience life.  So seems like now’s a good time to settle down a little and expand the family.”

The numbers are staggering, how much will Tom Cruise make on his latest blockbuster?  He could earn up to $90 million for “Top Gun: Maverick”.  The movie has made $1.1 billion at the box office so far and he’s set to earn 10% of Paramount’s cut, not to mention what he’d get from the DVD and streaming release.

It’s International Kissing Day.  So what’s the best country song with the word “kiss” in the title?  An online poll gave the top spot to “This Kiss” by Faith Hill.  The top ten also include “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'” by Charley Pride . . . “You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This” by Toby Keith . . . and “Just a Kiss” by Lady A.

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures made some scheduling announcements last week, including the release date for Godzilla vs. Kong 2. The sequel to the acclaimed 2021 monster flick will premiere on March 15, 2023. Of course, there’s plenty of time for more scheduling shakeups between now and then.

When your name is Hank Williams Jr., lets face it, fireworks are small potatoes.  So, Hank celebrated the 4th of July by firing his Civil War canon in his back yard. Being Bocephus’ neighbor has certain expectations. ABC is doing a two-hour live special for Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Kelsey Grammer said the script for a “Frasier” reboot is almost done saying he cried while reading the first part of it. Yeah,  Sounds hilarious!

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
