The List for Wednesday, October 26th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The scariest horror movie villains of all time were calculated using the average number of kills and jump scares.  The top three are Michael Myers, the Werewolf from “An American Werewolf in London”, and the creature from “The Grudge”….So uncle George from Pennsylvania didn’t make the list again this year.  But you’ll see him for Thanksgiving.

The actors on “Avatar: The Way of Water”, worked with specialists to learn how to hold their breath for underwater scenes.  Zoe Saldana got to the point where she could hold hers for almost five minutes.  Sigourney Weaver did six and a half minutes . . . and Kate Winslet, always the overachiever, went SEVEN minutes without taking a breath…meanwhile Tom Cruise is over here like ‘Hold  my beer”…

Scotty McCreery’s wife Gabi gave birth to their first child on Monday.  It’s a boy named Merrick Avery McCreery.  Scotty posted pics and wrote, “Next to his mother, he is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.  Gabi was a total rock star during Avery’s birth.  I could not be more proud of her.”

Marvel Studios is feeling the holiday spirit in the first trailer for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special!! There’s even a surprise cameo from Kevin Bacon!!  The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special! Premiers on Disney+ November 25th

The CMAs announced the first round of performers, and they include Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Hardy, Carly Pearce, Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, and Zac Brown Band. They also announced that the show will OPEN with a “star-studded” tribute to Loretta Lynn.  I’m sure you’ll see several of those performers take part in that.  “The 56th Annual CMA Awards” is airing November 9th on ABC.

Chase Bryant married model Selena Weber in a hilltop ceremony in Texas on Saturday.  The venue overlooked 30 miles of Texas Hill County.  For Selena’s walk down the aisle, they had a string quartet perform “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley play.

The List for Monday, February 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Lainey Wilson says she would absolutely jump back into the saddle for upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. She told creator Taylor Sheridan she would gladly reprise her role. Country star. Acting chops. Cowboy hats. Honestly, at this point Lainey just lives in fringe and Montana. And we are not mad about it.

-----

Adam Sandler says that viral video about his daughter getting humiliated in a Chanel store is completely fake. The AI clip shows him storming in and dropping $312,000 on handbags. He says the whole story is 100 percent insane and made-up. However… The midnight In-N-Out burger run rumor? He says that one is true. Priorities.

-----

Rumor alert. Reports claim Taylor Swift has allegedly decided not to invite Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds to her upcoming wedding. Sources say she wants a drama-free day and still feels burned from being pulled into Blake’s legal mess. Allegedly. Emphasis on allegedly. Nothing says romance like a very selective guest list.

-----

Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have reportedly split. Again. That makes three times. At this point it is less “will they or won’t they” and more “we’ll circle back.” Call me when it sticks.

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