“Cobra Kai” Star Ralph Macchio recalls what it was like working with the late Pat Morita, who played Mr. Miyagi in “The Karate Kid.” “We would play a scene in depth as him talking about his wife and child back in the Japanese internment camps in that beautiful Miyagi drunk scene from the original film and in between takes he’d launch into a fart joke with sound effects.” “Cobra Kai” season three is streaming now on Netflix.
Chris Rock on parenting…he says he showers his children with attention so they will be independent when they grow up. “Like ridiculous attention.

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.

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.

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,
Will Smith is trying to make a rap comeback, but hip-hop fans aren’t exactly getting jiggy with it. A source says he’s basically a senior citizen now, and today’s rap crowd just doesn’t think he’s relevant. So, Will is testing the waters overseas before hitting the U.S. Translation? If it flops in Europe, he can just pretend it never happened. Honestly, if anyone can make “Grandpa Rap” a thing, it’s probably Will Smith.

Morgan Wallen was on Theo Von’s podcast, and things got real when they started talking about bars. Morgan admitted he hasn’t stepped foot in one since… well, the last time—and let’s just say, we all remember how that went. Now, whether that’s a personal choice or a strong legal recommendation is up for debate. But hey, at least he knows when to walk away… even if it took a few tries.

Lainey Wilson has spent her entire life working on music, but what made her really blow up? Her butt. Seriously, she went viral on TikTok because of her curves—not her chords. She says at first, she thought it was funny, but then she realized people just wouldn’t stop talking about it. Lesson learned? Never read the comments. Unless, of course, they’re all raving about your rear end—then maybe just skim them.
