Welcome to The List –
Charlie Pride may be gone, but Darius Rucker like so many fans just idolize Charlie Pride “Charlie went through a lot of stuff to do what he loved to do and he loved to sing country music. I would say no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music…I can handle it, if Charlie Pride could handle all the things he went through.”
Luke Combs has a lot of hit songs, awards and the man has got goals… “I’m definitely gunning for that Entertainer of the Year spot and winning that at some point, I think would be a huge moment for myself, whether that’s this year or not, we’ll see. I want to eventually, I mean I think, headline in stadiums, I think one day is something that I’m hoping to do and I just have loftier goals and play The Super bowl. I want to do the halftime show at The Super bowl.”
Liam Neeson may be going in a different direction with his career…he’s talking about appearing in a comedy. “Seth McFarland is writing something for me. We’re going to try to resurrect, I don’t know if you remember the Naked Gun films with the wonderful Leslie Nielsen. We’re going to try to resurrect one of those and see if it works.”
Time is ticking for President Donald Trump, and the word is he may have a last batch of presidential pardons…the question is Will Joe Exotic get a last-minute pardon? Joe’s lawyer Eric Love thinks so…so much so, that they have a limo waiting outside of the prison to pick him up. He says the first order of business…get his hair done and go get a McRib…. it’s all about priorities…

Welcome to The List,
Tom Cruise is allegedly still stunned and furious that Ana de Armas dumped him. A source says he “didn’t see it coming” and can’t wrap his head around the idea that she didn’t want him as a long-term partner. Now Ana’s out here laughing it up with Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari garage — which stings even more because Lewis is friends with Tom.

Maddie & Tae are officially calling it quits after 15 years together. Tae says she’s stepping away to raise her kids, and Maddie is heading into her solo chapter. Country duos break up worse than boy bands. . From “Girl in a Country Song” to “Die from a Broken Heart,” they gave us the harmonies AND the therapy.

Jason Aldean’s six-year-old daughter Navy lost her first tooth and not to the Tooth Fairy, but to a knee in the face during some vacation roughhousing. That’ll teach ya! One moment you’re having family fun, the next you’re spitting teeth like a tiny MMA fighter. At least the Tooth Fairy pays better than UFC.

Golden Globe nominations dropped yesterday, and One Battle After Another and The White Lotus are leading the pack in movies and TV. The show airs January 11th on CBS. Soooo….get ready for another three-hour Hollywood party where everyone pretends to be surprised and the host makes at least one joke that gets them in trouble on Twitter.
