Luke Combs tells The Times that his songs will always reflect beer and boring jobs. “Why do I sing about beer? Why do I sing about boring jobs? Because people who drink beer and have boring jobs are the fabric of our society. They’re also my fans … people who don’t like my music think it is bland, vanilla, songs for rednecks and moms in trucks. And if I’m honest, my music does have a lot of that because I had an everyday upbringing, living right in the middle of struggle and comfort, so I represent everyday people. Listen, man. Nobody who likes my music wants to get in their car after a job they maybe don’t love so much, and hear me tell them how terrible the world is or how they should feel or what to think. That is somebody else’s gig.”

Are you ready for a Capt jack Sparrow…..6? Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Lee Arenberg says a sixth movie is definitely being discussed. The star – who played bumbling pirate Pintel in the original trilogy – has not been involved in the franchise since 2007’s At World’s End, but he suggested a new film is on the horizon. “They’re definitely talking about it, as far as I know,” he told Kendall Talks TV about a sixth Pirates. It’s unclear whether the new installment will be another sequel or a reboot of the original franchise – which starred Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow – but last year, Disney brought Ted Elliot and Craig Mazin on board. Elliot co-wrote the first three films in the seafaring saga, while Mazin created Chernobyl.

The List for Thursday, January 2nd 2025

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.

The List for Tuesday, December 31st 2024

Welcome to The List,

Eric Church Shares His Best Hangover Cures ... "The best hangover cure – I’ve got two. One is 5-hour Energy, because of all the B-vitamins that are in it. You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work, or it’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time"

-----

Keanu Reeves isn't ready for "John Wick" No. 5 just yet. The longtime action star told "CBS Mornings" that a new installment of the hitman series may have to wait for his body to recover. Saying "You can never say never, but my knees right now are saying 'You can't do another John Wick’. My heart does, but I don't know if my knees do," Reeves will return as Mr. Wick… in "Ballerina," a spinoff movie starring Ana de Armas set to premiere in 2025. His role is a mere cameo though.

-----

Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly had a meltdown at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on Christmas. A source says, Diddy thought he'd be out on bail by now. He eventually managed to calm himself down with meditation.  Yeah, doing crime has a way of interrupting your plans sometimes.

-----

Jay Leno tells PEOPLE magazine that despite rumors, his recent injuries were not from getting beaten up by the mob due to gambling debts. "Well, I like the idea that they wouldn’t just take one of my cars for the gambling debt. I don’t gamble. Losing 100 bucks makes me feel stupider than winning one thousand makes me feel good. Because I go, ‘I could have taken my wife to dinner.' "
