The List for Monday, January 4th 2021

Welcome to The List -

If you've heard rumor's that FGL is breaking up well, Tyler Hubbard is here to clear that up "From the mouth of Tyler and BK, we're not breaking up. We're just venturing out, we're just doing some individual things that we're excited about. I know things are going to appear and seem different at times, It's ultimately left us feeling alot of freedom."

Blake Shelton talks about why he and Gwen decided to release 'Happy Together' when they did.       " We all got together and decided that's the song we're going to release next because, we've all been in quarantine and lock down and hopefully we've been doing that with someone we really love. That's what happened with Gwen and I, this summer this entire year. I just seemed like the perfect song to come with."

Wonder Woman 1984 , held on to the number one spot over the weekend making another $5.5 Million

MovieWeb says a Rubik's Cube movie and game show are being developed. The game show would pit contestants against one another to see who can solve the cube the fastest and the movie would be about how Erno Rubik invented the Rubik's Cube.

Today on The List, New Years superstitions do you have any?

Maddie & Tae’s Maddie Marlow says SHE doesn't have any but won't be eating black-eyed peas on New Year's day that's for sure. "I don’t have any superstitions, because the black-eyed peas made me throw up one year, so I’m not a fan of the black-eyed peas thing anymore. So, I just go into a new year with a good mind set, and just start at that" Black eyed peas giving good luck is a superstition in the South that dates back to the civil war.

Tim McGraw says he doesn't have any New Year Superstitions "I don't really have any superstitions, you we try to do black eyed peas, and greens and all those sorta things but I'm not very big on that sorta stuff. I just look to the new year as an opportunity to do new things and accomplish new goals."

The List for Wednesday, December 30th 2020

Welcome to The List -

Yesterday Eric Church told us HIS hangover cure, but Dierks Bentley says there IS no cure for a New Year's hangover ... "I think January first is universally accepted as a day off. So I mean, a little hair of the dog, I guess. But just -- water and stay on the couch, I guess. There’s no real sure-fire cure for that"

Justin Moore says his celebrations have changed a bit "My favorite kind of New Year’s has changed over the years. Back in the day, we stayed out and turned it up pretty loud and stayed out late and did all that. Nowadays with kids, it’s hard to even make it to midnight, so it’s changed over the years. But it’s changed for the better"

Tom Hanks has a new movie called 'News Of The World' and says he hugged his horse every morning " Every morning you throw your arms around them and you say 'how are you my darling little chestnut, I'm so nuts about you.' Which you sort of have to do because I have a feeling that horses, honestly they would much rather live in a world without human beings climbing on top of them." 'News Of The World' is in theaters now.

Dr. Drew Pinsky has tested positive for COVID-19 and is recuperating at home. According to an Instagram post shared to his account on Tuesday, Dr. Drew's wife, Susan, tested negative. Dr. Drew says he's feeling better, he's home and his fever is down. Drinking plenty of Hydralyte.

The List for Tuesday, December 29th 2020

Welcome to The List -

It's almost New Years Eve, so that means it's time to get brushed up on your hang over cures...and Eric Church has a couple . "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"

It has been a very merry Christmas for Carrie Underwood fans so far. First, she released her holiday album, My Gift, now the superstar songstress has announced on social media that she’s coming with a sequel of sorts to that collection of music. “I’m here to give you guys a little gift right now and announce…I went ahead and made some more music. I made an album called My Savior, which is hopefully a little companion to My Gift.” “This album is full of gospel hymns that I grew up singing.” Fans can look for Carrie’s My Savior album around Easter time.

A third Wonder Woman movie has been green lit! Warner Brothers released a statement saying, – Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins will return to conclude the long-planned theatrical trilogy." That's good to hear, even though Wonder Woman 1984 was the number one movie opening weekend, it's getting mixed reviews from fans.

The NY Post says Lori Loughlin was released from prison yesterday. She served several months for bribing college admissions officials with $500,000 to get her daughters into the University of Southern California. Her husband, Mossimo, remains in jail

With Carole Baskin is in talks to get her own TV show and Tom Cruise building a coronavirus-free movie studio at a former top secret military base so he can finish filming ''Mission Impossible 7''.

The end of 2020 is shaping up to be interesting and bizarre...
