The List for Wednesday, May 5th 2021

Welcome to The List,

This week country stars are talking the praises of…mom…Lady A’s Hillary Scott says she got her heart from her mom  “I watched her my whole life have such a heart for people. And I think that that’s part of who she was created to be. I think that’s part of who I was created to be. But I also got to have this beautiful example of that lived out by her. And so, I would say, a big wide open heart for people.”

 With nearly 30 number-one hits, and eighty million albums sold in 20 years, the time is likely right for a documentary-style miniseries chronicling just how country superstar Luke Bryan maintains his impressive run of success. Here he tells us a little about it. “If you live this life long enough, life’s gonna get you.  You can’t be living this long, beautiful life without some ups and downs and challenges. I think this documentary just really shows the struggles that you have to deal with from time to time.” Luke’s five-episode program; “Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary”, is in production now and is expected to debut this summer.

Not only has Jennifer Lopez dumped Alex Rodriguez, but so has Hollywood. A source tells us that, “Alex got so used to the amazing world of Jennifer Lopez it never occurred to him that it would all end the moment they broke up. The access to A-list Hollywood, private events, and even world leaders was because of her. The little secret no one talked about while they were together was everyone wanted Jen, not Alex.  Ouch!!

Happy Birthday to Channing Tatum the ’21 Jump Street” actor turned 41  this past April 26th.  He and his family had a low-key celebration, used sidewalk chalk to draw a wolf with chicken legs, learned how to braid his daughter’s hair with the help of YouTube and got some advice from his daughter when it came to bedtime stories. ” When she was little, I would read trying so hard to be entertaining.  Doing all the voices, and she’d be like ‘could you just read it straight?’ and I’m like I’ve been training my whole life for this and you don’t want me to do the voices?”

The List for Monday, March 23rd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is officially boarding the yacht rock cruise. The country star says a full covers album is coming. It will feature classic yacht rock songs and only one original track. He even teased fans with a smooth cover of Stephen Bishop’s “On and On.” No release date yet. But apparently Keith brought boat shoes.

-----

ABC may be ready to dump The Bachelorette for good. Insiders claim executives now call the franchise “toxic.” Critics say the show stopped being about love and started chasing messy drama. Ratings have been sliding for years. The big question inside ABC now is simple. Is it finally time to pull the plug.

-----

Travis Kelce is apparently running an investigation. Someone has been leaking details about his wedding plans with Taylor Swift. Sources say Travis is trying to figure out who is talking. He is also trying to keep Taylor calm about the chaos. Because nothing says romance like a celebrity leak hunt.

-----

Luke Combs just turned Las Vegas into a country concert record book. His show at Allegiant Stadium pulled in 70,921 fans. That breaks the stadium record previously set by a massive boxing match. Country music just beat prize fighting in Vegas. Luke Combs basically threw the knockout punch.

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