Welcome to The List –
Keith Urbans new album ‘The Speed Of Now” is out today and he tells US how he came up with the name…“This title came to me in October of last year, and it was more of a comment about how fast everything was going. So, the title was a bit of a comment on that, but it took a 180 and suddenly now means something very, very different.” Keith’s second single from his new album ‘God Whispered Your Name’ is at number 13 on the US Hot Country Songs Chart for Billboard.
Luke Combs talks about what his experience getting married during a pandemic was like “It was really wild getting married this year….we were going to get married on August 1st, whether that meant no one could be there or a million people could be there. We have just been waiting for a while to get married and I’m so excited that we were able to do it with a small group of our closest friends and family”
Creator of Family Guy and American Dad Seth MacFarlane was on with Jimmy Fallon and talks about keeping busy during quarantine “I’ve been stockpiling scripts of all kinds and I have a recording studio so I’ve been recording Family Guy and American Dad, We’re hoping that we’ll be back soon.”

Jimmy Fallon talks about Amazon.com’s new invite-only site “I saw that Amazon has launched a new invite only section of it’s sight called ‘Luxury Stores” now you can order a five thousand dollar Oscar DeLorenta gown and have the package thrown over your fence…It’s about time you can order a designer dress that comes in the same box as your ragu sauce and Lucky Charms”

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
