Welcome to The List,
Justin Moore talks about how he lived his hit song ‘With A Woman You Love’ … “I remember when my wife and I first started datin’ 20 years ago, I would claim to my buddies that I would never do this, I’d never do that. I’d never hold her purse at the mall, I’d never have a little dog sleepin’ in bed with me – all those types of things. And clearly I was wrong, because I’ve done all of the above and much more.” Adding…When you’re with the person you wanna spend the rest of your life with, you’ll go above and beyond, even if it’s stuff that your buddies might make fun of you for down the road. It’s all worth it.”

Tim McGraw remembers his first car. Saying he used gold thumbtacks to keep the head liner up, he got his first ticket in it…He really loved it, it was a gift from his grandparents who didn’t have much but they had that car and it meant a lot to them that gave it to him, and it meant a lot for him to have it. I wonder if he eventually sold it for 7500 OBO…

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.
