Welcome to The List –
Lee Brice makes it on The List and says in Nashville, he used to write new music everyday. “You get up everyday…you go to an appointment whether you feel like it or not, and you work. So I built a studio on my bus, so that when I get home I can just be home. I’ll bring maybe a co-writer out like some of my good buddies onto the bus for a weekend and we just dial in.” Lee Brice is on a winning streak as “One of Them Girls” becomes his third No. 1 single in a row, and his seventh chart-topping release overall. His new album ‘Hey World’, comes out November 20.
Luke Combs is one of many artists who will perform at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards next month. Luke is nominated for Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist, Top Country Album and the fan-voted Billboard Chart Achievement Award.
A new Lion King photo-realistic movie is in the works at Disney…touching on the early years of Mufasa.. Disney has not announced a release date or production start date for the sequel. Maybe we’ll get to see how Scar…GOT his scar….
Carole Baskin had her final night on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ saying she’s happy for the opportunity and is NOT upset “ I am thrilled that all of this has happened the way it has and that I don’t have to learn another dance.” She’s just glad she was able to get the word about her big cats…now? She’s shopping around a reality show were she brings animal abusers to justice.
The debates last night were tough…to watch…but Jimmy Fallon shared his thoughts..“This got real ugly, after the debate was over Chris Wallace said he wants to moderate something a little more civil like a Real House Wifes’ reunion or a back alley knife fight”

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.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
