You don’t see these movies often and it is gripping to the very last second.‘ The Little Things’ starring Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jered Leto comes to theaters and HBO Max on Friday

Rascal Flatts on who they’ve been listening to during the pandemic …Jay DeMarcus says along with some Joe Diffie and Kenny Rogers, that’s what you would find.” You’d find Rascal Flatts on my playlist too, because when all this went down and we weren’t gonna tour, I started going back through the catalog and revisiting some things that I’d forgotten about.” Joe Don Rooney has a lot of the 90’s country on his playlist.  He says he loves all the chicken pickin’ guitar…

Luke Bryan has a plea for anyone listening…He’s trying to find a boyfriend for his mother.  “Somebody go on Instagram and date my mother please! She needs her a man…bad!” Wow! Well, that should get the job done… Luke’s mother appeared in his video for ‘One Margarita.‘

The List for Friday, January 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

‘’Only Murders In The Building’’ star Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco need to sort out some wedding details…and he’s letting her do just that…smart man…. Selena adores Benny, and she’s got zero doubt in her mind that they’ll last. She wouldn’t have said yes to his proposal otherwise.’’  Well, we hope not….

-----

Cody Johnson has had one heck of a 2024, and he’s looking to build on that – and his career in general – as he enters into 2025. Focusing on his music isn’t hard at all. In fact, it’s become second nature to him.  He says after his wife and kids.. country music is all he lives for…

After rocking Times Square for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Carrie Underwood spent New Year's Day somewhere where she also feels comfortable: Her kitchen.
