Welcome to The List,
The 4th of July is this Monday…do you have everything you need for the grill? Thomas Rhett has a few favorites. “I mean, steaks are kinda my go to, but I think if I was having like a Fourth of July party or something like that, makin’ smash burgers on the Traeger are my favorite thing in the world to do”. Burgers, Brats, and dogs….and the smell of gun powder in the air!!!

Woody Allen might retire after his next movie. During his Instagram Live chat with Alec Baldwin yesterday, saying “A lot of the thrill is gone because it doesn’t have the whole cinema effect. Adding, you would do a film and it would go to movie houses all over the country and people would come. “Now you do a movie and you get a couple of weeks in a movie house, and then it goes right to streaming or to pay per view . . it’s not the same it’s not as enjoyable to me.” This is terrible news for the seven people who even know that Woody still makes movies.

Luke Combs tells Billboard magazine that he is not raising his concert ticket prices even though inflation is soaring. “It’s going to cost me a lot, but all I wanted to do is make a living doing music, and I make enough money to not have to worry about anything and be really comfortable, so I don’t ever want to get greedy.. I didn’t get into it to be Jeff Bezos and be the richest guy in the world.”

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.
