Welcome to the List,
Summer is here, time for vacations, swimming pools and sunscreen…I love summer…motorcycle rides and hot weather…Mitchell Tenpenny loves summer too…except for one thing….“The thing I love about summertime the most is just being outdoors. Except for the bugs all the time. It gets a little mosquito heavy down here in the south but I’d take it just to be outside.” I have to agree, you can KEEP those little flying bloodsuckers.

Drama at ‘Dancing With The Stars’! A source tells OK! Magazine that Tyra Banks allegedly threatened to quit the show after Alfonso Ribeiro was hired to co-host. Tyra is supposed to be an executive producer on the show, she insisted that she also be a producer to make sure she was sitting at the table where the decisions are made. But didn’t find out about the co-host until the deal was done. Tyra walks when she is not happy. If Tyra doesn’t feel like she is being respected, she is gone.” And so…..they have a built in back up…right?

We reported on Jason Aldean’s mural someone painted on a wall in his home of Macon Georgia and he’s finally weighed-in on it. Saying He doesn’t know who painted it, and he appreciates the gesture. But. He thinks it makes him look like Beavis of “Beavis and Butt-Head”…

Some seats for the upcoming Bruce Springsteen tour are selling for up to $5,000 directly from Ticketmaster. It’s part of their new “dynamic pricing” program, which supposedly freezes out scalpers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do much for the concertgoer.

Gabby Barrett’s songs like ‘The Good Ones’ is being used by her fans as wedding songs…She was asked how it feels to have fans use her music for special occasions. “One of the reasons I do what I do is to help people, and be related to people through music. So to have a song that can be involved in somebody’s special day that you never forget about. It’s amazing.”

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