Welcome to The List,
Carrie Underwood tells Billboard magazine that she’s just recently gotten into gardening. ” The past few years, I plan it, think about it, work in there. I’m literally in my garden every single day. Right now, I have lots of tomatoes, bell peppers, snap peas, broccoli, onions, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelon, honeydew melon — a lot of things.” Wow not even kidding!!! That’s a serious garden….

‘Thor: Love and Thunder” director Taika Waititi tells CBS that he shows Chris Hemsworth’s bare backside in the movie. If you’ve seen the trailer there is a scene where Thor loses his clothing and a pixilated panel is placed over his backside…well, Taika says.. “In the movie, it’s not pixelated, you get the full Hems’ Worth. The full worthiness! With Chris, he’s worked so hard on that. It’s so many squats! It’d be depriving humanity if I didn’t show that. The movie is out on July 8th

Who say THIS coming…Jimmie Allen has an addiction…to BOWLING!! He got addicted during the pandemic. How bad is it? He practiced eight hours a day, five days a week . . . and now he’s in five different bowling leagues, and plans to try out for the Professional Bowlers Association. So how does he do this while maintaining a singing career, and being married with three kids? Quote, “I only sleep about three-and-a-half hours a night. If I get two, I feel like I’ve slept.” (Jimmie’s third album, “Tulip Drive”, is out today.)

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
