Welcome to The List –
Carrie Underwood talks to Jimmie Fallon about how she’s been living Xmas all year, about choosing songs for her new album ‘My Gift’, and about recording ‘Little Drummer Boy’ with her son. “He did get all dressed up, I walk out to get ready to go to the studio and I looked at him and said ‘well, look at you all you know wearing a button up, he dressed himself. Jeans which he doesn’t like wearing jeans at all and he was like ‘well, I’m going to go sing for Jesus so I need to look nice.” Her Xmas special, ‘My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood ‘ is available now on HBO Max. and her album, ‘My Gift’ is available now.
We got a chance to ask Jon Pardi what his plans for Christmas this year are “ I think it’s just gonna be chill, staying home, a couple friends over, cook a meal and just celebrate Christmas low-key. Can’t really do the big gatherings and it doesn’t seem like California is going to be the best place to go visit. So, I think we’re just gonna chill at the house and have Christmas.”
Screen Rant says Paramount Pictures is open to doing a fourth Godfather film. They add that there’s no imminent plans just yet but if the right story comes along

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges were one of country music's most beloved couples of 2024, so it's only natural that fans are buzzing about whether they might be taking the next step and tying the knot sometime soon. Bunnie Xo is wondering, too. She confessed to Wilson that she's "manifesting" a wedding for her in 2025. Lainey has even offered to propose to HIM!!

It's not too unusual for Luke Combs to tease new music before releasing it, but this time, he's got one important question to go along with his unreleased demo. "Who should I duet this with?" he asked fans as he posted a clip of something that appears to be titled "More Less Than Perfect." Combs' new song is a love ballad with lyrics that appear to be directed at a person who fell in love with him, even though he thinks he doesn't deserve her attention.

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her "It Ends with Us" co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, according to court docs…as well as the film’s production company, Wayfarer Studios. Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department on Dec. 20. On Dec. 31, Baldoni and his publicists also sued the New York Times for libel, after the news outlet published a Dec. 20 article about Lively's claims that she'd been the victim of a smear campaign after speaking up about sexual harassment on the set of "It Ends with Us."

And lastly, Megan Markle started the new year with a fresh Instagram post from a newly launched account. In it, the Duchess of Sussex happily runs barefoot along the sand on a beach while wearing a white button-up shirt and a pair of white jeans rolled up above the ankle. Writing 20-25 in the sand before running out of the shot. Though the former “Suits” actress, 43, turned off the comments for the post, several stars showed their support by “liking” it, including her pals Serena Williams and Chrissy Teigen.
