Welcome to The List –
The late Johnny Cash’s family has given their seal of approval of an upcoming album of orchestral renditions of the late country legend’s hits. Cash’s vocals appear alongside arrangements by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a 12-track LP, which was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London. The recordings include “Man In Black” and “Ring Of Fire,” and others “Johnny Cash and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra” will be released on November 13.
Last night on The 2020 ACM Awards Keith Urban was a little shocked to announce that there was a tie for the Entertainer of the Year It’s never happened before…“We have a tie…this has got to be a first in ACM history. We have a tie for Entertainer of the Year…Thomas Rhett tied with Entertainer of the Year Carrie Underwood.”
Strap in!! Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit theaters July of next year and actor Jon Hamm has seen an early cut of the film…“I loved it…it’s everything you hope it’s going to be. Tom is obviously perfect in it, the movie has exactly the right mix of nostalgia for the first one, but then continuation of the story for the characters…you don’t expect anything else from Tom Cruise at this point”
And finally Jimmy Fallon talks about the problems Chuck E. Cheese is facing “Well, this isn’t good Chuck E. Cheese is facing some financial trouble. They’re now trying to destroy seven billion prize tickets. If you’re unaware in Chuck E. Cheese math, seven billion tickets is ruffly worth one plastic spider ring….and a sticky hand you can grab things with.”

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.
