The List for Wednesday, September 7th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Things just got worse between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.  Angelina’s company Nouvel is suing Brad for $250 MILLION over the French winery they bought as a couple. The claim is that Brad and his associates tried to seize control of the winery in order to ensure that Angelina would never see a dime from its profits.  And he did it to get back at her over their divorce and custody battles.

Maren Morris tells Bravo that America’s Got Talent, The Voice and American Idol all rejected her. “Now people cover my songs for their auditions on those shows, so it’s, like, not only is it really nice to have my song on a national television show, [but] I get to collect the check and have some sweet revenge.” …wow….

Disney+ Day is tomorrow.  Some of the new items coming to the streamer include a live-action “Pinocchio”“Thor: Love and Thunder”, and a “Cars” series with the voices of Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy. It’s basically a day where a bunch of new stuff comes out.  Sing-along versions of “Frozen” and “Frozen 2”. A behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” called “Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return”.

Here’s something out of left field…Radar Online says Mark Wahlberg wants $7 million to be the opening act on Kevin Hart’s comedy tour. Kevin is playing arenas and making millions of dollars a show and Mark wants a piece of it. Mark asked for $7 million, making him the most expensive opening act of all time. Kevin said ‘thanks, but no thanks.'” The two are starring in a new Netflix movie called “Me Time”…I’m wondering though what exactly would Mark be DOING for $7 million as an opening act.

Blake Shelton says he is preparing himself for the end of his career. Whiskey Riff quotes him as saying, “I’ve always been prepared for when this ends and my song doesn’t get played anymore. The clock is ticking…people are going to get tired of you winning the awards. How many albums do I need by Blake Shelton?” Well, I would say, stop putting out HITS then Blake…

Walker Hayes is the inspiration for this year’s “country music corn maze” at Tennessee’s Honeysuckle Hill Farm.  His portrait is etched in the cornfield with, quote, “Nashville [hearts] Walker Hayes”.  If you remember, last year’s design was Loretta Lynn

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
