Welcome to The List,
Thomas Rhett admittedly isn’t the BEST fisherman out there, in fact he had a pretty bad fly fishing mishap earlier this year … “Well, I’d had three or four Miller Lights, let’s just preface it with that. And I was trying to cast into the wind, and I’m not a super-experienced fly fisherman, and so, when I casted back and went forward, the wind took it and just whipped it right into the back of my leg.” He DID however thank Miller Lite for not making it as painful as it could have been.

You probably wouldn’t believe it to HEAR it but Walker Hayes says he was inspired by a very special person the gospel side of Randy Travis. “I notice that set him apart for me. But really just that identifiable voice. Yeah, I just love the guys voice and his demeanor was very calm to me and his music was. So, yeah love the guy.”

Entertainment Tonight says Sam Hunt and Hannah Lee Fowler are the proud parents of a new baby girl named Lucy Lu. Sam was performing at the Ryman when he said, “I recently had a baby girl named Lucy Lu. I think being out here, and in the music business and being out on the road, has sort of hardened my heart. My heart’s definitely a lot harder in a lot of ways since I left that small town. It’s amazing how that little girl melted that all away overnight a couple of weeks ago.”

Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins was recently doing an interview with Variety magazine when he joked about making a third Top Gun movie. ”Let’s see where we are 35 years from now. I don’t want to speculate. This is an incredible run. The sky is the limit for this movie.”

Kid Rock tells Fox News that he is open to running for a political office. “One day, if I ever thought – if I was bored, sitting around – really thought I could serve my county and help them out, stir things up a little bit and do what’s right, I’d have to take a hard look at it”

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.
