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,
So Carrie Underwood and Jelly Roll might be teaming up—and not just for an unexpected duet in your karaoke nightmares. A source says she’s a big fan, loves their voices together, and shocker—fans actually influenced a celebrity decision! It’s being fast-tracked now, which is industry code for “we smelled money.” Can’t wait for the power ballad titled “Barbecue and Eyeliner.”

Megan Moroney told People she’s staying single to focus on her career and “reflect on past relationships.” Translation: She’s sick of dating dudes who think owning a truck and two brain cells makes them husband material. Good for her. Focus, thrive, and maybe write a song called “He Ghosted Me but I Charted Anyway.”

Ohio wants to make Superman their official superhero by 2033. Because when you think of superpowers, you think... Ohio. Yes, his creators were from there, and the new movie filmed in Cincinnati and Cleveland, so now he’s being adopted like a rescue dog in a cape. Next up: Batman becomes the official mascot of New Jersey.

Will Smith is charging fans up to $1,740 for a group photo on his U.K. tour. For that price, I better get a personalized rap and a slap on the back. Or just a slap. It includes a stage tour, too—because nothing says “Fresh Prince” like standing near some lights and pretending it's worth a month's rent.
