Welcome to The List –
Jon Pardi’s “Heartache Medication,” has reached Platinum status…and he received his plaque while digging out a pond with an excavator on the back 40 of his property….“I know I’m in work mode, tryin to clean this crappy pond. But, this is awesome coming off of such a successful album as ‘California Sunrise’…to come with another record and start off right out of the gate with a platinum single. So, that’s pretty amazing. Thank you so much, thank you to all the fans and we’ll keep them comin.” In fact, he just might store his new plaque in the windshield of his excavator.
Jason Aldean says being forced to take a year off has been nice. He loves spending time with his family…“So, it’s been nice, I mean, it’s a double edged sword. I love what I do, I love being on the road…Playing shows and traveling, and doing all that stuff but I also love being at home.”
The NY Post says Jeff Goldblum’s fans want him to make a cameo on ”Saturday Night Live” as a fly. The impromptu casting call started after a fly landed on Mike Pence’s head during the vice presidential debate. Goldblum starred in the 1986 movie ”The Fly”
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Celebrates His Instagram Milestone … “I just heard from my team…yesterday that we have surged passed…blown by…over two hundred million followers on Instagram.

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
