KIX-KLASH RE-HASH

Saturday 7th February 2026
Welcome to The List,
Glen Powell’s new smash hit? It’s not a movie—it’s mayo. The Twisters star has gone from chasing tornadoes to chasing taste buds with his new line of organic condiments, Smash Kitchen. That’s right, Glen’s now into buns—but burger buns. Inspired by BBQs at his Texas ranch and a desire to cut the junk from your junk food, Powell’s new lineup includes spicy mayo, hot honey ketchup, and a BBQ sauce..Now available at Walmart, because nothing says “Hollywood hunk turned health nut” like squeezing your own bottles in aisle five.

The MTV VMAs are getting a glow-up—network TV style. For the first time ever, the VMAs will air on CBS, so get ready to watch outrageous outfits, twerk-heavy performances, and someone inevitably saying something that makes the censors sweat… all from the comfort of your grandma’s favorite channel. The show goes down Sept. 7 at UBS Arena in New York, streaming on Paramount+ and still simulcasting on MTV and what feels like every channel except the Weather Channel. No host or performers announced yet, but don’t worry—someone will grind on something they shouldn’t.

This summer, Thomas Rhett will cross a huge milestone off his career bucket list when he plays his first-ever stadium show at Boston’s Fenway Park, on July 19th. “I kinda feel like at some point in your career, you just have to sort of just go for it. I’ve been thinking about doing a baseball stadium since 2019. Finally, I think we just sat down and we were just like, if we’re ever gonna try it, we should try it now. He’s still got a few bucket list things on his career sheet that he wants to do.

Cody Johnson is trying to stay strong… but Texas Roadhouse rolls are his kryptonite. In a Billboard interview, the country star admitted he’s ditching carbs—but those warm, cinnamon butter-slathered rolls at Texas Roadhouse? Yeah, they’re testing his willpower harder than tight jeans at a county fair.“When your daughter wants Roadhouse for her birthday, and those rolls hit the table… I’m drooling,” he said. Same, Cody. Who needs abs when you’ve got buns like those?

Welcome to The List,
Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.
-----
Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.
