Welcome to The List,
Sharing Christmas memories today with Lauren Alaina, one of HER’S is one from when she was six years old… “When I got my Barbie bike when I was six years old, and I thought I ruled the world because it had a horn and it had Barbie’s picture on it.” So Barbie had a bike? Well, if she can have a townhouse, Corvette.. she can have a bike…my G.I. Joe was the best because IT had Kung Fu Grip!

Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells The Hollywood Reporter that he hopes Disney allows him to cast Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow again. “You’d have to ask them. I can’t answer that question. I really don’t know. I would love to have him in the movie. He’s a friend, a terrific actor, and it’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do. We tried to kill him. It didn’t work.”

Jon Pardi Says His Grandmother’s Elvis Christmas Ornament Sparked His Love For The King … “One of my favorite memories of my grandmother’s tree, and I think maybe why I love Elvis so much, She had an ornament and it was Elvis, and it was always on her tree. You’d go and you’d hit a button, and it would sing ‘Blue Christmas. And I’d just always hit it, and he’d be doing his pose with a microphone, so yeah, ‘Blue Christmas’ and that ornament, I think that’s probably why I like Elvis so much.”

Carly Pearce is already lookin down the road to New Years Eve!! She says it’s a time for reflection, “I think that every year I try to look back on the year and see what has happened, what I achieved, what I felt like I could do better at, and just try to set quarterly goals. I try to set yearly goals just to make sure that I’m continuing to try to get better.”

Carly Pearce spent some time on tour with Tim McGraw earlier this year, and although she’s an avid runner and big into other fitness regimens like Orange Theory and spinning, one workout she has no plans to incorporate into her routine is Tim’s intense CrossFit training. “Yeah, I’m not gonna be a part of Tim McGraw’s workouts because quite frankly, I don’t think I could keep up. I did pull the tire up and I got it up, but he said that he will flip the tire the length of like a football field, y’all. And I’m just not going to do that. I will stick to running. If Tim McGraw wants to do a running challenge, let’s go.”
