Welcome to The List,
Even though Tim McGraw stars in 1883 a TV show about settlers. He tells HollywoodReporter.com that he doesn’t believe he would have made a good settler. “The first lush meadow I saw within three days of traveling, I would’ve said, ‘this is a good spot right here’.

This is kinda fun!! With Father’s Day is THIS Sunday, “Sesame Street” is celebrating by unleashing a “Friends” parody. Basically, it’s a fun song that re-works the show’s theme, “I’ll Be There for You”. It includes subtle “Friends” references, like a creative rendition of “Smelly Cat” . . . a puppet wearing Joey’s Thanksgiving turkey hat . . . and a nod to Ross’ “pivot!” You can check it out NOW

Carrie Underwood’s two little boys haven’t discovered her music. Yet. Isaiah is seven and Jacob is three, so you know they’ll eventually come around. But as of right now, “I know the Blipie theme song, Isaiah would watch Power Rangers and then he’d be like could you play Power Ranger songs in the car. We’d go through that faze, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle songs. Kids have terrible taste in music.” She played The Stagecoach Festival this year in California and says the best part for HER was when Axl Rose joined her to perform “Sweet Child O’Mine” and “Paradise City”

What’s more important than winning an Oscar? To MOST actors the answer is NOTHING…but if you ask Samuel L. Jackson? He’s over it! He likes to GO to the Oscars…the gift baskets. But, he’d rather be Nick Fury or have fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand. He doesn’t care about the statue…he cares about the fans…

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.
