Minty Fresh Asphalt

Four out of five dentists agree that toothpaste can cause a huge mess on a roadway.

A stretch of road in Asheboro, North Carolina had to be shut down Wednesday morning after a truck spilled an unusual mixture of toothpaste and sawdust. The spill created a very slick and minty fresh mess that took several hours for crews to clean up. The Asheboro Police Department took to social media and warned, "Spilled toothpaste mixed with sawdust may smell good, but it sure is slippery.” The road was reopened in the afternoon, and now has a bright smile.

During an appearance on the Today Show on Friday (July 25), Zac Brown revealed that he recently proposed to jewelry designer Kendra Scott on July 24.

So happy,” Brown said of the engagement. “We’re so happy we found each other and we’re blessed. It just adds so much energy to everything else. More to give to music, more to give to our families and everything, so we’re blessed.” Scott was on hand to support her new fiancé during his Today Show performance, commenting on Brown’s Instagram post that captured the event, “Such an amazing day! 🙌👏❤️.” The couple publicly debuted their relationship at the American Music Awards in May, after Brown and Scott – both parents with a combined eight children – first met through a mutual friend earlier this year.

Will Forte’s ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ To Hit Theaters On August 28, 2026

The live-action/animated hybrid film Coyote vs. Acme has secured a global theatrical release date of August 28, 2026, announced star Will Forte at San Diego Comic-Con. The film, about Looney Tunes character Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation, was infamously shelved by Warner Bros. in 2023 after its completion in favor of a tax write-off (along with Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt). It was later acquired by Ketchup Entertainment in March 2025 for a reported $50 million. Commenting on the film’s journey, Forte told the SDCC crowd, “I’m pretty speechless…It blows my mind. You think back to the journey this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point, so this is amazing.” Comic-Con The panel featured a tongue-in-cheek appearance by an Acme Corporation representative, who attempted to disrupt the proceedings before the film’s trailer could debut.

Comic actor Will Forte's movie, "Coyote vs. Acme," is set for theatrical release on Aug. 28, 2026. The announcement was made Saturday at San Diego Comic Con.

Gwyneth Paltrow's "Very Temporary" Spokesperson Job

Tech firm Astronomer has enlisted actress Gwyneth Paltrow as a “very temporary” spokesperson following the resignation of its CEO and HR chief after a viral “Kiss Cam” scandal at a Coldplay concert.

In a tongue-in-cheek video, Paltrow — formerly married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin — addresses public curiosity without mentioning the incident directly, while highlighting Astronomer’s AI and data automation services.

The ad, created by Ryan Reynolds’ agency Maximum Effort, has topped 35 million views and is credited with helping the company recover from reputational damage.

And while he was promoting it this past weekend, he also dropped some personal news that he's excited about.

Here's what he said, "[I'm] down 30 pounds. Lot of hard work. Lot of missed cake on birthdays. But anyways, I just wanted to say I'm real thankful for you guys and I'm real thankful this next phase."

Here's what he said on Joe Rogan in 2023: "I think my physical fitness, and my appearance, and my size has always been something that I struggled with, from the time I was a child . . . And it's this thing that I feel like if I don't overcome it in my lifetime, it will be my biggest regret, without a doubt."

Keep up the hard work, Luke!

"Serial Butt-Sniffer" ARRESTED!

There's a lot of "pervy" stuff that warped people try to get away with in public. But here's one that might not be on your watch list . . .

Police in Burbank, California have arrested a "serial butt-sniffer." 38-year-old Calese Crowder was cuffed last Tuesday after he was caught "loitering in the women's department" of a nearby Nordstrom Rack.

He was caught on a security camera awkwardly following a female customer around and "inappropriately sniffing her buttocks." (???)

Calese was on parole . . . and has a "documented history of similar arrests for similar crimes." He even went viral before, after being caught sniffing a woman's rear end at a Barnes & Noble in 2023. (Here's that old clip. And here's THAT woman, reacting to this new arrest.)

Calese also has a long criminal record for burglary, robbery, and indecent exposure. Investigators are looking for additional butt-sniffing victims . . . in the hopes of building a bigger case to keep this creep off the streets.

A man who has been arrested multiple times for sniffing women’s rear ends while in public was arrested again this week for the same crime. Calese Carron Crowder, 38, was arrested Tuesday by o…

Texas Couple Scammed Out of $10,000 to Benefit Concert

George Strait's flood relief benefit concert went down last night in Boerne, Texas. And it got major support from folks all over the world.

But sadly, it also got the attention of scammers. A local couple lost $10,000 when they bought fake tickets to the sold-out show.

The scam looked real, right down to the graphics and wording from George's official site. But after they wired money for four tickets, they realized it was a fraud . . . the scammer had altered just one letter in an email address.

The couple says they're less upset about their own loss and more heartbroken the money meant for Texas flood victims was stolen.

And the couple had some harsh words for the scammer, who has still not been caught. They said, "I think they should get life in prison."

A Texas man is warning others after losing $10,000 on what he thought were George Strait flood benefit tickets.

Chuck E. Cheese ARRESTED!

We couldn't help thinking about last Friday's story about the guy who was arrested at a Florida Chuck E. Cheese WHILE he was still in the mascot outfit. When cops got him outside, they took his mouse head off and put it on top of the car. He'd allegedly stolen a credit card earlier that day and used it. This all happened in full view of kids and parents.

TPD spokesperson Jerome Maples confirmed the legitimacy of the photos and said that TPD arrested a man on three felonies.

Luke Bryan's Summer Shows Got Sidelined by Covid

Luke Bryan finally let everyone know why he had to cancel and reschedule a string of summer shows.

Turns out, Luke came down with Covid back in June and it wiped him out. He lost his voice . . . had to refund a show in Arkansas . . . postponed stops in Dallas and Lafayette . . . and even missed three big festivals.

Eric Church stepped in to save the day on a few of those, but fans were left wondering what sidelined Luke.

At last week's show in Greenville, he told the crowd: "Three weeks ago, I got Covid . . . It's still kickin' my [butt], but I don't care. When I can sing, I'm gonna sing . . . and when I can't, y'all are gonna sing!"

He's still not 100%, and says he's now leaning on a little vodka and tequila therapy to power through. So, don't be surprised if you see him coughing through a show. At least he warned you. (The Boot)

Onstage at a recent show, Bryan opened up about the lingering illness that has caused him to cancel so many shows over the past month.
