Tom Hanks just launched a packaged goods company called Hanx for Our Troops. And he’s giving 100% of its profits to organizations that provide aid to U.S. military veterans and their families.

Tom said, quote, “By choosing our coffee, you help support those who chose to commit their time and efforts in defense of our liberties for the good cause that is the American Way . . .

Gabby Barrett is an addicted…and her drug of choice is SHOES!! “I feel like I collect shoes but I just haven’t admitted it to myself yet. I have quite too many shoes… some that I have not even worn yet but swear I would have by now…so I think shoes.” It could be worse…it could have been Back Scratchers…

BuzzFeed put together a list of surprising jobs celebrities had before they were famous…can you imagine Whoopi Goldberg as a morgue beautician, Megan Fox working at a smoothie shop in Florida, which included dressing up as a giant banana. Or Christopher Walken He was a lion tamer trainee when he was 16. Matthew McConaughey Cleaned out chicken coops.

Here’s a quiz – Who said, “Before I go on stage, I smoke a Marlboro and drink a cup of coffee.” If you guessed Trace Adkins, you’d be right!! Sharing his process before he goes on stage, with Rob Lowe on his podcast. He added; “I took voice when I was in college, so I know the way you’re supposed to do it. I know all the warm-up and breathing techniques, and things you do to loosen up and everything but like a lot of other things in my life . . . I just don’t do it.”

Welcome to The List,
Luke Combs says Garth Brooks just casually bought him a Ford Bronco Raptor… for singing ONE song at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ONE! Luke thought his manager was giving him his own car, but nope “Surprise, it’s from Garth.” Meanwhile, I can’t even get my neighbor to loan me his lawnmower without leaving a $20 security deposit.

So apparently Travis Kelce regrets partying with Taylor Swift after losing the Super Bowl last year. Sources say all that spotlight and distraction messed with his focus and now he’s laser-focused on getting that edge back. Basically he realized you can’t win rings if you’re too busy making friendship bracelets with the Swifties.

Big win in Texas this weekend the “Band Together Texas” benefit concert raised over 8.5 MILLION dollars for flood relief. Huge! And the moment everyone’s talking about? Cody Johnson belting out “How Great Thou Art.” Goosebumps, tears, and probably a few folks suddenly calling their mama.

Remember Mama June? Yeah, she’s trending again, but not for anything good. She’s bragging online that she never tips more than 5% on DoorDash or Instacart. FIVE percent. She said she paid $176, gave the driver five percent, then complained about a $60 “convenience fee.” First off, drivers aren’t showing up to your house for a slice of pizza crust and a pat on the back, Mama!
