Welcome to The List,
Last week Maren Morris tweeted that she might like to try out for the Broadway show for “Wicked” so, why not! She shared her Video Audition Tape of ‘The Wizard And I’, from the musical. She said in the post that the video was a test shot for her audition for the musical. That would be cool…and something to add to the ole resume’

“Bad Boys 4″ is still in development despite Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Sony chairman Tom Rothman tells Screen Rant. That was a very unfortunate thing that happened, and I don’t think it’s really my place to comment, except to say that I’ve known Will Smith for many years, and I know him to be a good person. I believe his apology and regret is genuine, and I believe in forgiveness and redemption.” And of course the big payday when Bad Boys 4 hits theaters. That release date has not been announced.

Tim McGraw tells Variety magazine that Faith Hill forced him to shower on the set of ”1883”. “There were a few times that my wife forced me to take a shower while we were shooting , because I wanted to stay in character as best I could. She’s like, ‘I don’t care about Method. You stink!’”

Dylan Scott does NOT like doing music video’s “It’s a little uncomfortable for me, because you gotta act a little bit. But it’s a cool thing to do.” Adding, music videos and photo shoots are very critical with going along with the music, So, you just gotta suck it up and do it.

I’ve always heard Tom Cruise was…short, well he’s 5 ft 7 and stood eye-to-eye with Kate Middleton at the London premiere of “Top Gun: Maverick”. SHE was wearing three-inch stiletto heels… Tom shall we say “padded” his shoes, with a stacked heel and placed elevating insoles inside of them which made HIM 6 foot tall…to which I say just OWN it…
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ opens in theatres on Thursday night

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.
