The ‘Jack Harlow Meal’ is a combo meal curated by the Kentucky native himself, which just became available at KFC restaurants nationwide and via KFC.com and the KFC mobile app on June 6th. The meal previously launched in March, but as a collection of his favorite items on the menu sold separately and available as a digital exclusive. Now, you can get the full meal together online, via the app, or in stores.

Harlow said in a press release:  “Partnering up with KFC feels like poetic justice. I’ve begun traveling the world, and no matter how far I go, KFC is one of the first things people want to bring up when they find out where I’m from. I’m excited to align myself with something that started in Kentucky, but resonates all over the globe. I grew up going to the restaurant with my family, here are a few of the menu items I’ve been enjoying since I was a child.”

KFC CMO Nick Chavez added: “It goes without saying that our classics will never go out of style, but as Jack’s favorites, a few of them are getting celebrity status. We are excited to make Jack’s favorites available now on the KFC app, and can’t wait to share what’s next with Jack Harlow and KFC. Stay tuned. You won’t want to miss it.”

His label Def Jam confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Sunday: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the children, loved ones, and fans of Trouble. A true voice for his city and an inspiration to the community he proudly represented. RIP Skoob”

Disney+ released a trailer for the film version of “Trevor: The Musical,” based on the off-Broadway production. The musical is based on the 1995 Academy Award-winning short film “Trevor,” which eventually inspired the founding of The Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization that has grown into the world’s largest suicide prevention and mental health organization for LGBTQ young people.

When an embarrassing incident at school suddenly puts him under the wrong spotlight, Trevor must summon the courage to forge his own path. A deeply moving and funny story of self-discovery and the power of acceptance.”

The film is slated for release June 24 on the company’s Disney+ streaming platform. It will be added to the streaming service’s newly announced ‘Pride Collection,’ which coincides with Pride Month. “Trevor: The Musical” will join other LGBTQ content on the platform through the month of June.  The collection is available to all Disney+ subscribers.
