Welcome to The List,
Shania Twain had a full-circle moment at her show in Toronto on Sunday. She brought up a fan named Daniela, 22 years after bringing her up to sing a song as a KID. Best part: Daniela said that moment on stage in 2001 inspired her to study music, and now she’s an opera singer.

The Hollywood Reporter this morning announced that Richard Roundtree, the ultracool actor who helped open the door to a generation of Black filmmakers and performers with his portrayal of private eye John Shaft, “the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about,” died Tuesday at his home in LA of pancreatic cancer. He was 81.

Luke Bryan tells Country Living magazine that farm life helps keep him grounded. “The main thing with having the farm is it really forces you to have fun and disconnect from your phones and helps you get back to simple.

A lot of country music fans would love to hit up Miranda Lambert’s Pink Pistol boutique . . . but not everyone can make it to Linwood, Texas. So she’s showing off a glimpse of it on her Instagram account. (There’s a slideshow, here.) Speaking of Miranda’s Instagram, she also shared some footage of her goats: Taco, Tuesday, and Tanya. In the clip, she says she’s a “goat mom” . . . and she chose “San Antonio Stroll” by Tanya Tucker as the background music.

Long before Luke Bryan became a judge on “American Idol” . . . he was a kid judging his neighbors’ Halloween candy. Quote, “You can find out a lot about your neighbors by what kind of candy they put out. “Full Snickers bars, that’s [good] and so is Reese’s cups. [But] the old chocolate popcorn ball of stuff, that’s no good.” Adding, “You get Dots one time a year and they pull your teeth.”

Contact Music says Britney Spears hated her time as a judge on “The X Factor” with Simon Cowell. In her new memoir, she reveals that she felt nervous and didn’t enjoy the job. The pop star admits that she doesn’t think she’s cut out for judging on TV. Spears only lasted for one season on the show.

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
