Welcome to The List,
Jason Momoa revealed yesterday that Ben Affleck is returning as Batman in “Aquaman and the Lost Kindgom”. They were trying to keep it a secret, but they were outed by a tour bus on the Warner Brothers lot. Ben already suited up for “The Flash”, which is supposed to come out in June of 2023 . . . providing Ezra Miller can keep his nose clean. But “Aquaman” hits theaters in March, three months earlier.

The British tabloids are saying that Miranda Lambert’s husband Brendan McLoughlin has to ask her for money, and it’s “driving him crazy.” Miranda loves posting photos of all the good times she and her husband have on Her Instagram. Brendan retired from the NYPD in 2020, and became a member of her security team. Sure, but I doubt he’s clocking in with the rest of the team. My guess is that he has a “Miranda company credit card” and no worries…

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.
