Welcome to The List,
Thinking about starting a band? Sometimes the hardest part is the promotions….Just ask Parmalee Star Matt Thomas On The Funny Ways The Band Promoted Themselves When They Were Starting Out … “We were relentless about promotions. We’d ride around with stickers on our cars, we even rented one of those signs in our front yard with the big flashing arrow that said Parmalee Friday night at the club. My dad would pull it around in his blue Ford pickup truck.”

Jonas Brothers . . . and Lenny Kravitz… Amber Heard was spotted at a TJ Maxx in Bridgehampton, New York with her sister on Thursday. Is she getting frugal because she owes Johnny Depp more than $8 million? Or does she always shop there?

First jobs are..well let’s face it FIRST JOBS…and, their not always the most fun…Jon Pardi tells CMT that he hated working at a grocery store. Saying “The worst job he ever had was at the hometown grocery store. He didn’t want to work. He was 15 and didn’t want to work at the grocery store. bagging was fun. But going down the aisles and pulling up cans and turn them around and face them. Was the worst he would just get so bored…

In a surprise twist, Pixar and Disney’s new movie Lightyear lost Father’s Day weekend and failed to holdover Jurassic World Dominion at the domestic box office. Lightyear was expected to top the chart with a $70 million to $85 million opening. Instead, the Toy Story spinoff buzzed to a disappointing $51 million. That’s to bad, it looked like a fun movie…

The things that we do for art….and authenticity…In a new interview, Faith Hill said she was forced to let her armpit hair grow out before filming “1883”. “Taylor called my husband. We were at our nephew’s wedding, and he said, ‘Who’s gonna be the one to tell your wife that she has to stop shaving under her arms?’ “And I’m thinking, ‘What? We’re at a wedding. Can this wait?’ He goes, ‘No, stop tonight.’ That was three months before filming. She thought maybe they could just tape something on…but no…it really grossed her out.

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.
