Welcome to The List,

You better go see Top Gun: Maverick while you can, a copyright lawsuit is seeking to have “Top Gun: Maverick” pulled from theaters. The original film was based on a magazine story, and the heirs of the writer say they’ve regained the rights to that story, so the sequel is unauthorized….with a domestic box office take of over $900 Million globally after five weeks, I think you can pay out a little bit.

When you want to make it in the music industry you would be surprised the things you would go through to make that dream happen. Lainey Wilson remembers living in a camper with a broken furnace when she was trying to get noticed in Nashville. She believes it was God’s way of preparing her to work even harder . . . so when she did break through, she’d have a lot to say and share. Boy does she…

Matthew McConaughey supports the Second Amendment, but believes in common sense reform because, quote, “Business as usual isn’t working.” He’s advocating for things like universal background checks and red flag laws. Something tells me he’s not going to do so well in Texas.

We should probably get used to seeing Kenny Chesney posing with NFL stars as he hits the stadiums on his ‘Here and Now’ Tour. He performed at AT&T Stadium in Texas on Saturday and posted pics of himself on stage with Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott and coach Mike McCarthy.

Neve Campbell will not be in “Scream 6” due to a pay dispute. Saying she felt the offer that was presented to her did not equate to the value she’s brought to the franchise. This will be the first “Scream” movie she’s not in. Filming could get underway very soon with a projected release date of March 2023.

Kacey Musgraves says she encountered hostile behavior from an American Airlines employee on a recent flight. She shared the story on social media, saying she felt “unsafe and upset to the point of crying.” The airline heard about it and told “Billboard” they’ve reached out to Kacey.

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.
