Vegas oddsmakers don't have a clue when it comes to Super Bowl LX ... 'cause the Patriots aren't only on the verge of winning another Lombardi Trophy, according to Mark Wahlberg, but the game ain't even gonna be close!
TMZ Sportsran into the longtime Patriots' superfan in San Francisco outside the Fanatics luncheon on Friday, and we asked him about the game.
"It's gonna be an ass-whooping, Patriots are gonna win big!" Wahlberg told us.
Of course, he's in the minority ... nearly every expert has picked the Seahawks, with some predicting Seattle winning going away.
Anyone lucky enough to score a ticket to Super Bowl LV better not try their luck with sex workers while they're partying and having fun, because you'll probably get arrested!
That's right, fellas ... Josh Singleton, Commander of the Santa Clara County Human Trafficking Task Force, tells TMZ ... his team of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers ain't messin' around when it comes to sex workers -- and if you get caught messin' around with them, you're gonna wind up in handcuffs!
Singleton gives everyone fair warning ... "Come have a good time at the Super Bowl. Don't engage in commercial sex because we're out in force and we're enforcing the laws!"
Bad Bunny is one of the hottest stars on the planet right now -- and yeah, we mean that figuratively and literally -- but according to astrologer Richard James, that heat isn’t translating into a full-on romance just yet!
Richard breaks it down in the cosmic playbook, saying even if Bad Bunny did date right now, it’d be a short drive with no touchdown -- because this chapter is all about him, him, and more him ... and that includes locking in that massive Super Bowl Halftime moment.
So nope, don’t expect a Kendall Jenner reunion anytime soon ... but if there’s one area where Bad Bunny is going all in, it’s his career.
Watch the full clip, 'cause Richard says the guy’s trajectory is straight-up Super Bowl-level, with no ceiling in sight ... and he's pointing out his humanitarian streak ... meaning he’s not just scoring for himself, but doing some real good off the field as well.
Bottom line? It’s solo season for Bad Bunny -- no partner on the roster, and no distractions in the huddle!
Richard James has a weekly astrology show called "StarCast Weekly" where he goes through all the signs and tells people what they can expect for the week ahead on the streamer Gaia.
Congressman Tim Burchett says he wouldn't know Bad Bunny if the rapper walked up to him and asked to borrow his cell phone ... and the only bad bunny he knows is his pet rabbit, who had sex on Christmas morning in front of his nephew.
We got the Republican representative from Tennessee at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C., and our photog asked about the Super Bowl LX halftime show performer.
Instead of wading into the BB conversation -- which some folks are pissed the NFL went with him for the Big Game -- Burchett shares a funny story about his late pet rabbit, who was seriously horny.
The Super Bowl coming to town isn't just good for local businesses ... it's good for love, too -- 'cause TMZ Sportshas learned that Tinder has seen an increase in usage and matches in the Bay Area!!
We spoke with a Tinder spokesperson to get a sense of how their app has been holding up since the sports world descended on Santa Clara ... and some fans don't just have football to look forward to -- there are connections being made!!
According to the numbers, this week's matches are up 30-40% year over year, with swipe activity increasing by about 10% in the region.
Cam Jordan says everyone needs to chill out over his Josh Allen comments -- insisting there's NO beef and people just got way too sensitive.
The Saints defensive star tells TMZ Sports he's now walking back the drama after catching heat for saying Allen can’t win big playoff games ... explaining he was simply answering a debate question on "First Take" and using what he called "process of elimination."
"Everybody get snippets ... we were talking about Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson," Jordan said. "'Who's up for a Super Bowl?' In my mind, it was a process of elimination. Joe Burrow’s already been to one, Josh Allen -- it should have been this year -- so I said Lamar Jackson is up next."
"[Josh Allen] proved what I thought about him. ... He can't win those big games."
Tate McRae is catching heat north of the border -- and now fellow Canadian hitmaker DJ Frank Walker is weighing in on the Olympic controversy.
TMZ Sports caught up with Walker at the Tight Ends and Friends bash in the Bay Area amid the backlash over McRae appearing in a Team USA-leaning Winter Olympics promo … and he made it clear where her loyalty should lie.
Team Canada, baby.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
"You’ve gotta ride for Team Canada," Walker said. "I feel like she got a bag for it. I don’t think she needs the money, but maybe she saw a good business opportunity. She's from Canada. You've gotta rep Canada a little bit when you get that chance, you know."
Robert Griffin III is tipping his cap to Lindsey Vonn's wild Olympic gamble ... saying if she pulls off gold with a ruptured ACL, Hollywood better start casting ASAP.
After all, he knows a thing or two about ACL injuries, having torn his twice -- once in college at Baylor and again in the NFL with Washington.
TMZ Sportsasked the former QB about Vonn's decision to compete in the Winter Games despite the injury ... and he says he can relate to her all-gas-no-brakes mindset.
"Having done that before, you can get back to similar strength, similar flexibility before you have the surgery," Griffin said. "But your knee is going to be in a much more compromised position. So Lindsey is going to do what she wants to do."
"She wants to go attack it and try it out, and if the doctors clear, then there’s nothing anyone can do about it."
More legal trouble for Stefon Diggs ... he's getting slapped with a lawsuit a couple days before his New England Patriots play in Super Bowl LX.
The Patriots star wide receiver is being sued for defamation and more ... according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
In the docs, a man who claims he used to work for Stefon says in July 2024, Stefon requested he arrange for Stefon's Ferrari to be transported from Miami to New York and then to Houston ... but he says the Ferrari was stolen in Houston.
The guy claims law enforcement concluded the Ferrari was stolen by third parties in a sophisticated theft ... but he says Stefon started telling people in their circles that the guy stole the car.
Quinton Aaron is still in the hospital ... but it sure sounds like things are looking up, as TMZ just got a great update from his family.
As you know ... "The Blind Side" star is recovering in the hospital from a spinal stroke ... and for a while there, it was sounding not so good. But, it seems he is on the mend.
The Aaron family tells TMZ ... “Quinton is in a jovial mood, now laughing and smiling and is communicating to the best of his ability while he continues to recover. He’s watching tv and is excited to watch the Super Bowl from his hospital bed this weekend."
There is also an update on the woman by his side, previously making medical decisions for him, who claimed to be his wife -- but his family has called BS on all that.
François Arnaud might be choking on that "none of your f***ing business" line he tossed at Andy Cohen ... 'cause the rumors about him dating Connor Storrie are getting louder, steamier, and a lot harder to dodge!
TMZ snagged photos of the two actors settling in for a cozy dinner at the old-school, fancy Smoke House in Burbank ... and while there wasn’t full-on PDA, the energy was very much date night. Dim lighting, nonstop laughs, and that locked-in, only-you-exist vibe said plenty.
There’s no denying the chemistry here -- and if this is the real deal, François better brace himself for even more backlash from diehard "Heated Rivalry" fans who seriously struggle separating fantasy from real life. Even NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said he is a big fan.
Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have broken up ... and, if you're getting déjà vu by reading that, you're not alone -- but our sources say it's completely over this time.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us the relationship has run its course and now it's over between the singer-songwriter and the actor.
As you know ... the two broke up in the fall -- but they got back together not long after. Our sources say the two tried to make it work, but they ultimately decided it wasn't meant to be.
6:53 PM PT -- The Fulton County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... Nathan's cause and manner of death are currently undetermined.
DJ Young Slade -- Lil Jon's son -- has died ... his father announced in a statement Friday.
Lil Jon tells TMZ ... "I am extremely heartbroken for the tragic loss of our son, Nathan Smith. His mother, Nicole Smith, and I are devastated. Nathan was the kindest human being you would ever meet. He was immensely caring, thoughtful, polite, passionate, and warmhearted -- he loved his family and the friends in his life to the fullest."
Jon said, "He was an amazingly talented young man; a music producer, an artist and engineer, and graduate of NYU. We loved Nathan with all of our hearts and are incredibly proud of him. He was loved and appreciated, and in our last times together we're comforted in knowing that we expressed that very sentiment to him."
Jon thanked the Milton Police Department for their help searching for his son.
Nathan was reported missing on Tuesday this week ... earlier today, searchers pulled a body from a pond in the area. Police said there was no indication of foul play. Milton, Georgia is about 30 miles north of Atlanta.
The most dramatic event in sports -- with top-notch athletes, big-time plays and tons of anticipation behind it -- returns Sunday ... and it's certainly got our tails wagging!
That's right -- the Puppy Bowl is back for its 22nd edition -- and we had a pair of the puppies taking part join us on "TMZ Live" ... as well as beloved PB referree Dan Schachner.
Harveyand Charles ask Dan why they should tune into the Puppy Bowl ... and he says that "pound for pound" -- no pun intended -- the game offers more drama than the Super Bowl, and the puppies leave it all out on the field when they go and compete.
Radio host Tommy Sotomayor says he's not offended in the slightest by President Trump posting a short video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
Tommy joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday, and we asked how he felt seeing Trump share a blatantly racist video clip ... and he explained why he thinks Black people shouldn't be outraged.
The radio host's reasoning here was enough for us to stop him right in his tracks for a quick history lesson ... but Tommy really dug his heels in and tried to bring up some other issues ... and the conversation even veered off into colorism.
The alleged ransom letter in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping has a few details offering possible clues about how far away she may have been taken from the Arizona home where she was abducted ... which could indicate the search radius law enforcement is focusing on.
If the letter is legit -- the FBI and Savannah Guthrie have already talked about it publicly -- it offers some clues into where Nancy may be.
There's a demand of millions in bitcoin for Nancy's safe return ... and there's a timeframe for how long it would take Nancy to be returned to Tucson after getting the money.
It seems Nancy would be driven back to Tucson -- getting on a plane would require Real ID, and the jig would be up -- and if you look at a timeframe, you can draw a radius around Tucson and get a feel for where she may be held captive ... a transporting driver wouldn't be speeding, and that helps create the search radius, too.
