Travis Kelce Accused of ‘Slapping at Fan’ Ahead of Chiefs Game: Illegal Use …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs dismantled the Denver Broncos on Monday night.

And as expected, Taylor Swift skipped the Emmys to cheer on her man — and she was seated next to Tom Cruise, for some reason.

But even more surprising than the Jerry Maguire cameo was Travis’ pregame interaction with an aggressive fan.

Yes, Travis is apparently willing to share a lot with the Arrowhead faithful. His game day gloves, however, are where he draws the line.

The Hall of Famer had an awkward encounter when a spectator appeared to reach for one of his gloves.

Kelce was making his way toward the locker room when he stopped to acknowledge fans sitting near the field.

He had removed his gloves and was holding them in his hand while offering high-fives and fist bumps.

That’s when one fan apparently decided he was going to take things a little further.

As Kelce reached toward the crowd, the fan appeared to grab for one of the gloves. Kelce immediately swatted the person’s hand away and shot a displeased look toward the crowd.

According to Page Six, Kelce “slapped away” the attempted glove theft.

The moment was captured on video and quickly made its way around social media, where fans had decidedly different opinions about what happened.

Some viewers argued that the fan may have genuinely believed Kelce was handing over the glove as a souvenir.

Others were considerably less sympathetic toward the spectator.

“He shouldn’t have held it in that hand, but also why would anyone think he’s giving his gloves away pregame? Lol,” one user said.

“It look like he was handing it I can see why the fan thought it too,” another added.

Either way, Kelce clearly wasn’t interested in donating part of his uniform before he had even played a snap.

The awkward moment was ultimately just a minor blip in what turned out to be a very successful night for the Chiefs star. Kansas City defeated Denver 31-10, while Kelce contributed three catches for 71 yards in his first game of the 2026 season.

The game also marked Kelce’s first NFL appearance since marrying Taylor in July, which was no doubt a matter of considerable symbolic importance for Trav.

So, ultimately, the glove survived, Kelce survived, and the Chiefs won their season opener.

The fan, meanwhile, has presumably learned an important lesson: When Travis Kelce is holding his glove, it is probably best to admire it from a respectful distance.

Florida Georgia Line Announces 2027 ‘Anything Goes Again: The Festival Tour’

Florida Georgia Line is hitting the road in 2027 with their just-announced “Anything Goes Again: The Festival Tour,” which will take the reunited duo across the country for a 12-date headline run at some of the biggest music festivals.

The announcement comes just months after Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley sent fans into a frenzy with their surprise CMA Fest pop-up, where they reunited onstage for the first time in years. Now, the GRAMMY Award-nominated duo is taking that reunion one step further, revealing plans to bring their high-energy show to 12 major festivals throughout next year.

While the full list of dates and locations has yet to be shared, the first stop has already been announced. Just a few days ago, the duo revealed that they will be performing a special late-night set at Stagecoach in 2027, marking their first appearance at the California festival since 2018.

The remaining 11 festival dates are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks, giving fans plenty more to look forward to as FGL officially enters their next chapter together.

Reflecting on the upcoming run, Hubbard expressed how much it means to them to see fans embrace their return as a duo and reconnect with the songs that helped define their career.

“There’s so much history and so many great memories wrapped up in FGL. Seeing the fans get excited about us being back together and hearing how much these songs still mean to them has been really special,” he shared. “We’ve felt a lot of love, and it feels good to be back up there together and sharing these songs with everybody again.”

Kelley echoed that sentiment as he reflected on the experience of returning to the stage alongside his longtime musical partner.

“These songs have taken on a life of their own over the years, and getting back onstage together really reminded me of that. Hearing the crowd sing every word and feeling that energy again was pretty incredible,” he added. “We picked right back up where we left off, and there’s definitely something special about getting to do this again.”

Florida Georgia Line has established a reputation for delivering high-energy shows, which have drawn over four million fans since their 2012 breakout across massive headlining arena and stadium tours, in addition to a Las Vegas residency.

If their return to CMA Fest was any indication of what’s ahead, it’s safe to say that fans can expect plenty of energy, nostalgia and beloved hits throughout the upcoming run.

Is Mitch McConnell Able to Speak? Senator’s First Apperance In 92 Days Raises …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Mitch McConnell is finally back at the U.S. Capitol.

Unfortunately for anyone hoping that the Kentucky senator’s return would put an end to the mystery surrounding his health, the 84-year-old Republican’s brief appearance on Monday only raised more questions.

McConnell returned to the Senate on September 14 after spending roughly three months away following a fall at his Washington, D.C., home that left him briefly unconscious.

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) arrives for a vote at the U.S. Capitol on September 14, 2026 in Washington, D.C. This is McConnell’s first public appearance in over 90 days after he recovered from a fall and illness.

He was subsequently hospitalized and treated for pneumonia before spending weeks in rehabilitation.

McConnell was discharged in August, and it was initially unclear if he would be able to return to the Senate.

And while McConnell was technically back at work, there was one particularly strange detail about his return:

The public had not heard his voice in 92 days.

That changed — somewhat — when McConnell spoke briefly to reporters outside the Senate chamber.

The longtime Republican power broker appeared frail and was using a wheelchair.

His voice was noticeably slower and sometimes faltered as he joked with reporters about whether anyone would still be waiting around to question him after his lengthy absence.

“I must admit. After two years — decades, actually — dodging your questions, I wasn’t sure how many of you would be here today,” McConnell said. “But I’m glad to see you. Time to get back to work, finish the job for this Congress.”

That was about as much access as the press received.

McConnell’s return came after weeks of speculation about his condition, fueled in part by the limited information coming from his office. During his absence, he released occasional updates and photos, but there had been no public video or audio confirming how he was actually doing.

His staff also appeared determined to keep the first day of his return tightly controlled.

McConnell was photographed in a hallway outside the Senate chamber, an area where reporters generally cannot record video except during certain leadership events. HuffPost reporter Jennifer Bendery suggested that McConnell’s staff may have been deliberately avoiding opportunities for the press to capture him on camera.

McConnell himself acknowledged that he isn’t completely recovered.

In a statement released Monday, he said he is “still not quite back to 100%” and explained that the lingering effects of childhood polio have complicated his recovery. Still, he promised Senate Majority Leader John Thune that he would do his best to show up for important votes while continuing physical therapy.

McConnell has already announced that he will retire from the Senate when his current term ends in January 2027.

So, after more than three months of silence, Mitch McConnell is speaking again.

Whether Americans will be hearing much more from him remains another question entirely.

Jennifer Aniston’s Plans to Remake Classic Dolly Parton Movie May Have Changed …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Jennifer Aniston is picking up where the late, great Dolly Parton left off.

In 1980, Parton starred in 9 to 5, producing a hustle-and-grind anthem for worker solidarity everywhere.

(There are many reasons for which unions were among the singer’s most vocal mourners.)

Aniston is committed to making the remake happen. However, there are some lingering obstacles.

Jennifer Aniston is working (on) ‘9 to 5’ in Dolly Parton’s memory

According to a report from RadarOnline, the planned remake will be a tribute from Jennifer Aniston to Dolly Parton — when she’s able to make it happen.

“Dolly Parton’s unfortunate passing and the impending end of The Morning Show’s run on Apple TV have changed the complexion of the remake,” the inside source described.

“Jen now has the time to devote to pulling together the package,” the insider explained.

“And,” the source continued, “the public is already showing renewed interest in the original 9 to 5 film.”

The insider noted that it was this 1980 film “which was Parton’s screen acting debut.”

“Jen idolized Dolly,” the source affirmed.

“But,” the insider cautioned, “she has to walk a careful line in the months ahead.”

Aniston will need “to make sure she doesn’t look like she’s exploiting Dolly’s death by continuing to push for this project to get made,” the source reasoned.

Diablo Cody, the critically acclaimed screenwriter behind Juno and Jennifer’s Body, is reportedly part of the remake.

The question of which actors might star in it is … complex. They need more than just acting chops.

Who will star in the ‘9 to 5’ remake?

According to the report, Jennifer Aniston wants at least one big-name star for the Dolly Parton remake.

9 to 5 could conceivably star someone like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, or Ariana Grande.

One name that immediately floats to the top of the list is Miley Cyrus — who, these days, is just being Miley.

In addition to having a fairly similar vibe to the late, great national treasure, Miley also happens to have been Parton’s goddaughter.

Just a few years ago, they did a “Wrecking Ball” duet to usher in 2023. Phenomenal talents.

“A special edge goes to the young women who are also recording artists because they can follow in Dolly’s footsteps and create an original song for the new film,” the insider dished.

The source suggested that it could be a song “that — like Dolly’s classic theme tune — could go on to capture an Oscar nomination.”

However, the insider warned: “Getting this movie made at such a conservative and risk-allergic company as Disney-owned 20th Century Studios was always going to be an uphill battle.” (Disney does not have the most pro-worker mentality, unlike the themes of the original film.)

“No matter what, Jen is not going to let the renewed interest in the classic 9 to 5 go to waste,” the source affirmed. “She’s already sunk way too much time into this project to allow it to slip through her fingers.”

We’ll be excited to see this project materialize, even if we cannot verify the contents of RadarOnline‘s report.
