In The Field

Travis Kelce’s NFL future is hanging in the balance … and Mama Kelce says the final call belongs to him!

Donna Kelce tells TMZ Sports she’s giving her superstar son total freedom as he weighs his options of returning to the Kansas City Chiefs, signing elsewhere in free agency or calling it a legendary career.

“You know, I just want him to do what he feels comfortable doing,” Donna told us this week outside LAX. “He’s gotta talk to people in his life to decide what he wants to do.”

“So I’m not sure. We’ll see what happens!!!”

2/13 -- 6:03 AM PT -- Following his chat with us, Too $hort tells TMZ ... “I’m seriously into politics & I wish everybody would get involved & fight for the causes they believe in. I’ve been closely following American & world politics since I was a kid. No Americans should stay out of politics. Especially in 2026.”

Too $hort is blowing the whistle on rappers joining political movements ... he says hip hop should limit politics to the ballot box.

We got the Oakland OG at Chanel West Coast's single release party at Andys in West Hollywood, and our photog asked him about Nicki Minaj and Nelly recently going full MAGA.

Too $hort says not just rappers, but all Americans should keep their political views to themselves. He then takes us down memory lane ... throwing it back to a time when fans didn't care what their favorite artists believed in politically.

WrestleMania is now only just over 60 days away, and while Cody Rhodes isn't paid to be the matchmaker in WWE ... he tells TMZ Sports there's one he would love to see in Sin City come April -- Logan Paul vs. Bad Bunny!!

We caught up with the former Undisputed WWE Champion in New York City, where we asked him whether he hopes BB finds his way back to the WWE in time for WrestleMania 42.

"I hope we get him back," Rhodes said. "He did a wonderful job, but he's on top of the world right now."

Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, would do anything for her son ... except sign an NDA ... at least according to a chat we had with the famous matriarch at LAX today.

When our cameraperson asked Donna if Travis and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, had her sign a non-disclosure agreement, Donna scoffed at the idea.

She said, "They know I can keep a secret," with a wry grin.

Bad Bunny used the Super Bowl stage to tell a story about his culture -- and his crew says the message was loud and clear!

TMZ Sports caught up with members of the global superstar’s cast at LAX on Monday after their big halftime performance ... and they say their focus wasn’t just about putting on a show, it was about putting Puerto Rican culture front and center on the world’s biggest stage.

"I was blown away myself," one of his backup dancers, Chris, told us.

"I feel like it’s such a monumental moment culturally. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and everything they did culturally, I feel like they tapped in perfectly."

The Super Bowl is the biggest stage in sports ... and ex-NFL star Victor Cruz says players are well aware of that fact ... which is why they put a lot of thought into touchdown celebrations ahead of the Big Game.

Cruz -- who did a signature salsa dance to honor his grandmother and Puerto Rican heritage whenever he found the endzone throughout his career -- spoke to TMZ Sports at the "Sports Illustrated The Party" bash on Saturday ... and he broke down the art of making a Super Bowl tuddy that much more iconic.

Cruz -- who had a touchdown in Super Bowl XLVI over the New England Patriots --  said he thinks athletes have it on their minds leading up to kickoff.

Meek Mill is shutting down the Bad Bunny halftime show haters ... telling TMZ Sports the global superstar absolutely deserves the Super Bowl spotlight.

The Philly rapper weighed in outside the Fanatics luncheon on Friday as debate continues to swirl over the NFL tapping the Latin music icon for the coveted performance slot … with some critics questioning whether Bad Bunny’s style and Spanish catalog will connect with viewers.

“I think he’s going to do well,” Meek said. “He’s a great artist, one of the legends and I think everybody deserves a shot.”

Not only does Dave Portnoy believe his Patriots will win big in Super Bowl LX, he thinks it's the start of Drake Maye's NFL domination ... telling TMZ Sports he expects the young quarterback to win at least championships for New England.

The Barstool Sports founder chopped it up with us at the "Sports Illustrated The Party" bash in the Bay Area on Saturday ... and he said it's nice to be back in good graces with the NFL after their longstanding beef.

Portnoy and Barstool were previously banned from the Super Bowl after he and three others protested the Deflategate ruling at NFL HQ, but we broke the story earlier this month -- he's now welcome to attend the Big Game once again, as long as he buys a ticket -- which he did.

Wings and pizza are nice for any Super Bowl party ... but if hosts really wanna impress their guests this year AND honor Bad Bunny's home turf in the process, Guy Fieri's got the perfect dish.

TMZ Sports caught up with the restaurateur and TV star out at the Fanatics party in the Bay Area ... and asked him for a bite that's not often featured in Super Bowl bash spreads, but should be ... and he didn't hesitate with his answer.

"Mofongo," Fieri said. "My mouth waters thinking about it."

Wyclef Jean has more than 30 years in the music industry, but by the looks of it, he's still only just getting started ... he told us he's going to release an album a month, for seven months, starting in March!

He broke the news when we caught up with him Monday at LAX. He told us the 7 projects include a hip hop album, a country album, an R&B album, a jazz album ... and 3 more he's keeping mum about.

According to the legendary producer and rapper, he wants to show music fans how so much of what we listen to today originated with him.

Gideon Adlon says the wait is gonna be well worth it for "Euphoria" fans ... because she says the upcoming third season is going to be off the chain.

We got the actress at LAX on Wednesday and our photog asked her what folks can expect from her, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Zendaya.

In a word, Gideon says Season 3 is going to be wild ... kind of like her career as of late.

Rashee Rice has yet to address abuse allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, earlier this month ... and that remained the case when we directly asked him about them at LAX on Tuesday.

TMZ Sports asked the 25-year-old for his side of the story after Jones, who never mentioned Rice by name in the allegations, shared photos of bruises and wounds on her body.

Rice, who wore a purple hat with a black sweatshirt at the airport, elected to stay quiet ... despite the NFL and his employer, the Kansas City Chiefs, acknowledging the claims ... with the former launching an investigation.

Sevyn Streeter is hyped for the Grammy Awards kicking off Sunday ... and she told us who she thinks should win Album of the Year.

Backstage at the She Ready Foundation event at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills Monday, Sevyn told us, "My vote is with Kendrick."

Sevyn cautioned that Kendrick Lamar does have some stiff competition -- with big names like Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Leon Thomas III, Tyler, The Creator and Lady Gaga -- but Sevyn points to cultural impact ... and if that has anything to do with it, Kung Fu Kenny should be a shoo-in.

Laila Edwards' family will get to watch her in the Olympics thanks to a huge donation from Travis and Jason Kelce -- and the hockey star tells TMZ Sports she can't thank the brothers enough for the assist.

The University of Wisconsin standout was named to Team USA's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics earlier this month ... and a GoFundMe was launched to help some of her family get to Italy to see her compete.

The Kelce brothers pitched in $10K, which got her way over her goal -- something she said was unbelievable.

People have had a lot to say about Spencer Pratt running for mayor of Los Angeles ... but he told us he has literally nothing to lose!

We caught up with the reality TV star outside of CBS Studios in NYC Monday, as he continues his press tour to promote his book, "The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain." When asked if he's nervous about running for office, he gave a facetious response, saying, "What, are they gonna burn my house down again?"

Gotta say ... that's one of the best barbs a politician has come up with in a long time.
