San Francisco 49ers

La estrella internacional Tiësto acaba de anunciar que no actuará en el Super Bowl LVIII, debido a una "emergencia familiar personal".

El "Padrino de EDM" compartió la actualización con sus fans el jueves, apenas unos días antes de su aparición para el encuentro entre los 49ers y los Chiefs en el Allegiant Stadium.

"Yo y mi equipo hemos estado preparando algo realmente especial durante meses, pero una emergencia familiar personal me obliga a volver a casa el domingo por la mañana", dijo Tiësto a través de la aplicación X.

"Ha sido una decisión difícil perderme el partido, pero la familia siempre es lo primero".

Esta habría sido la primera vez que la NFL tenía a un DJ en el juego para el Super Bowl, y Tiësto, que vendió más de 36 millones de álbumes, tuvo el honor de asumir el papel.

"Gracias a la @NFL por la colaboración", dijo el DJ de 55 años, agregando que todavía planea trabajar con la liga en algo "increíble" para una fecha posterior.

Los Chiefs de Kansas City y los 49ers de San Francisco están listos para jugar el Super Bowl este fin de semana, e incluso sus fiestas posteriores ya están organizadas... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que cada equipo ha elegido sus lugares después del partido para sus posibles celebraciones el domingo, aunque solo uno de ellos será quien celebre.

Vamos a empezar con los 49ers. Nos dicen que los chicos de la Bahía están programados para llegar al OMNIA Nightclub -uno de los clubes nocturnos más calientes en la ciudad del pecado- que se encuentra dentro del Caesars Palace, justo en el centro de Las Vegas Strip.

Nos dicen que Kansas City tiene otro lugar de lujo reservado, el Zouk Nightclub, ubicado dentro de Resorts World, un hotel relativamente nuevo en la escena de la Ciudad del Pecado.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kansas City incluso tiene su música lista, porque nos dicen que The Chainsmokers tocará canciones para los Chiefs después del Super Bowl y tal vez K.C. pueda convencer a Taylor Swift para que acompañe al grupo si asiste al partido del campeonato.

Patrick Mahomes tiene una larga relación con The Chainsmokers, que consiste en Alex Pall y Drew Taggart, yendo de fiesta con ellos después de su victoria en el Super Bowl del año pasado, así que probablemente, no costó demasiado convencer al dúo ganador del Grammy.

Estas fiestas repletas de estrellas son el sueño de cualquier fanático del fútbol, pero mantengan la calma, porque no será fácil colarse en cualquiera de estos eventos, porque las fuentes nos dicen que la presencia policial va a ser pesada.

La Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas y agentes del FBI se posicionarán en los eventos exclusivos, limitado a los jugadores, sus familias y ejecutivos a la oficina delantera, por lo que tomar un trago con Travis Kelce o Christian McCaffrey no será posible para los fanáticos.

Por más que ambos equipos tienen sus lugares de fiesta asegurados, solo un equipo va a celebrar esa noche... normalmente los perdedores se van directamente a casa.

The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are all set to hit the gridiron for the Super Bowl this weekend -- and even their after-parties are now set in stone ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us each team has picked out their postgame locations for their potential celebrations on Sunday -- of course, only one of 'em will actually be partying afterward ... but we know both squads have lined up a plan in the case of a W Sunday.

Let's start with the 49ers. We're told the Bay Area boys are scheduled to pull up up to OMNIA Nightclub -- one of the hottest nightclubs in Sin City -- located inside Caesars Palace, smack in the center of the Las Vegas Strip.

Kansas City, we're told, has another huge venue locked down, Zouk Nightclub ... located inside Resorts World, a relatively new hotel to the Sin City scene.

Our sources say Kansas City's even got their music ready to go -- 'cause we're told The Chainsmokers will play tunes for the Chiefs post-Super Bowl ... and maybe K.C. can talk Taylor Swift into accompanying the group if she attends the championship game.

Patrick Mahomes has a longstanding relationship with The Chainsmokers, which consists of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, even partying with them after their Super Bowl victory last year -- so, it probably didn't take much convincing to book the Grammy-winning duo.

These star-studded bashes are sure to excite any football fanatic ... but hold your horses, super fans, because it won't be easy to crash either of these wild times -- 'cause sources tell us the police presence is gonna be heavy.

Las Vegas Metro Police and agents from the FBI will be positioned at the exclusive events -- limited to the players, their families and front office execs ... so, taking a shot with Travis Kelce or Christian McCaffrey isn't on the menu for the die-hards.

Now, the obvious note here ... while both teams have their party locations secured, it remains to be seen whether they'll both rage after the Super Bowl. It makes sense for the actual winners to show up and have a blowout, but usually the losers go straight home.

Usher llegará a lo más alto de Apple Music gracias al show de medio tiempo del Super Bowl y va a hacerlo a lo grande con una producción que será una oda a "The Hangover".

El Super Bowl LVIII es en Las Vegas este año y Apple reunió a Usher y a la pandilla -Ludacris, Lil Jon y Taraji P. Henson- para recrear la clásica película de comedia en un clip de siete minutos cargado con otras estrellas, y parece sugerir que todos podrían participar el domingo.

El cortometraje comienza con el CEO de Apple -Tim Cook- alertando a Luda, Jon y Taraji a través de FaceTime que Ursh había desaparecido en combate. El trío procede a correr enloquecido a través de la "Ciudad del Pecado" para encontrar a la superestrella de R&B desaparecida.

En el camino se encuentran con Anderson .Paak, J Balvin y Wesley Snipes, y los clásicos de Las Vegas -The Blue Man Group y Criss Angel- en el personaje completo para reforzar la comedia y hay una fuerte insinuación de que Usher incorporará su patinaje sobre ruedas masterclass en su set de medio tiempo.

El año pasado por estas fechas, Usher, Floyd Mayweather y otros famosos se subieron a la pista de patinaje para celebrar el álbum "The Chronic" de Dr. Dre con Apple Music, así que la sinergia es máxima.

Se perfila para ser el año de Usher, quien está dejando caer su nuevo álbum "Coming Home" el domingo y también va de gira en agosto.

Usher gets the next crack at Apple Music's reign over the Super Bowl Halftime Show -- and they're going all out with a highly-produced promo ... an ode to "The Hangover."

Super Bowl LVIII's in Vegas this year and Apple gathered Usher and the gang -- Ludacris, Lil Jon and Taraji P. Henson -- to recreate the classic comedy flick in a 7-minute clip loaded with other stars, and it seems to suggest these stars might be in the mix on Sunday.

The short film opens with Apple CEO Tim Cook alerting Luda, Jon and Taraji via FaceTime (shameless plugs, duh!) that Ursh had gone MIA  ... and the trio proceeds to run amuck through Sin City to find the missing R&B superstar.

Along the way they encounter Anderson .Paak, J Balvin and Wesley Snipes, and Vegas staples -- The Blue Man Group and Criss Angel -- in full character to beef up the comedy and there's a strong hint that Usher will incorporate his masterclass roller skating into his halftime set.

Around this time last year, Usher, Floyd Mayweather and several other celebs hit the rink to celebrate Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album with Apple Music so the synergy is running high.

It's shaping up to be Usher's year ... he's dropping his new album "Coming Home" on Sunday and also going on tour in August.

Fans in Detroit are still lickin' their wounds after the crushing NFC Championship loss ... and things didn't get any better for Motor City sports fans last night when they were trolled by the Sacramento Kings!

But, Big D got the last laugh!

The last place Detroit Pistons were in Sactown Wednesday night, and for some reason, the Kings (29-21) chose video violence, playing lowlights from the Lions' loss to the San Francisco 49ers during player introductions.

The Kings played the key Brandon Aiyuk catch, where the ball bounced off Lions DB Kindle Vildor's helmet ... a miraculous play that ended up being the start of the end for the Lions, who blew a 17-point lead, losing 34-31. Crushing. And, they put it on repeat.

The bright side for Detroit fans ... the Pistons players seemed to take things personally.

Jaden Ivey balled out, scoring a career-high 37 points. Ivey’s breakout performance gave Pistons fans some sweet revenge, shocking one of the better teams in the NBA, 133-120.

Just the Pistons winning alone is news ... they're having a historically bad year, once losing 28 consecutive games.

Andrew Whitworth's playing days are officially in his rearview mirror ... the former NFL star tells TMZ Sports there's absolutely "no chance" he comes back to the gridiron.

Of course, ever since the 42-year-old said he was done playing following his Super Bowl LVI win in 2022 ... there's been rumors he could return.

After all, at the time that he hung up his spikes, he was still widely considered one of the best left tackles in the game ... and in the two years since he's stopped playing, a championship contender has been in need of his talents.

But, Whitworth made it clear to us this week ... he'll never strap on a helmet and shoulder pads for an NFL team again.

"I get in the weight room every now and then and I kind of convince myself maybe I could do it," he said. "But I tell you what, there's no chance."

Whitworth -- who's become a star analyst for Prime Video's "Thursday Night Football" in retirement -- explained he's simply enjoying watching ball from the sidelines too much to get back into it.

"I feel too good walking around, hanging out, eating food, having drinks and watching people play football," the 16-year NFL vet said. "It's a much more fun way to do it. So, I'm going to stick with that. That's for sure."

As for this weekend's big game ... Whitworth, unsurprisingly, told us he thinks it could come down to the trenches. For the Chiefs, he said it's paramount they stop Nick Bosa and Javon Hargrave. For the Niners, he said they need to build a strategy around slowing down Chris Jones.

Whitworth also said it'll be key for Brock Purdy to control his jitters -- though he's confident the SF quarterback will get it done.

The owner of the only Chiefs-inspired bar in San Francisco is clearing up whether 49ers fans are actually "banned" -- as has been suggested -- and he's saying they're not, but also noting ... it might be hard to get in come game day.

Here's the deal ... Vlad Cood -- who owns the sports bar Buzzworks in SF, which has come to be known as a Chiefs-friendly haven for Kansas City diehards -- tells TMZ that recent reports he and his staff weren't letting San Fran fans into the establishment are false.

There were a lot of headlines locally that ran with that narrative, but Cood says his words were taken out of context -- although, he does admit ... it could be difficult for the 49ers faithful to actually get into the building, especially around Super Bowl weekend.

While he tells us his doors are open to any and all -- regardless of team affiliation -- Cood says that his bar tends to get packed with Chiefs fans on football Sunday early and often ... and that's just how it's gone for a while.

Cood says 49ers heads can certainly swing by anytime they want, but by the time kickoff starts -- he tells us Buzzworks is usually stuffed with Chiefs people ... and he doesn't expect that to change for the SB. In other words, come as you are ... but come with time to spare!

He also says this ... if 49ers fans are truly interested in coming to his business, he's got an alternative for them where they can congregate and pound booze among their brethren. As it turns out, Cood owns another bar across the street there called Butter, which he says has more than enough room for anyone who wants to file in and catch Super Bowl LVIII.

Here's the irony in all this ... Cood tells us he himself is actually a longtime 49ers fan -- so even though Buzzworks caters to Chiefs lovers, it sounds like he'd love to be with his own kind.

Everybody's talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ahead of the Super Bowl, but they're getting associated with a different kinda bowl -- a toilet bowl, to be exact -- before the Big Game ... with Dude Wipes launching new ads inspired by the superstar couple.

TMZ Sports has learned -- the popular wet wipe company came up with a cheeky way to get in on the Traylor craze while promoting its product in Las Vegas this weekend ... by whipping together some silly slogans to feature on the massive Resorts World display.

Some of the ads include pretty timely Swift-related mentions ... including a nod to her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," which she announced at the Grammys just days ago.

One sign reads, "If you're living in the Tortured TP Department, welcome to the Wet-Wiping Era" ... with another channeling the singer's "Anti-Hero" hit -- "It's me. Hi. I'm the solution. It's Me. Not TP."

But one in particular addresses the relationship that's taken over the world ... with "We love a clean tight end, too" shown in big white letters above a package of Dude Wipes.

The company teamed up with Max O'Neil at Clear Channel and the Curiosity agency to execute the campaign ... which will be seen by millions throughout Sin City this weekend.

Of course, Taylor has taken over the Super Bowl this year ... with her presence being felt all over -- including countless Swift-related questions during media availability, themed parties, and a free wedding ceremony offer from a local venue.

Hay una GRAN fiesta en la Ciudad del Pecado para ver el Super Bowl, con estrellas de la franquicia de telerrealidad "Mujercitas" ¡mezclando bebidas y sirviendo tragos!

Little Jess le dice a TMZ que ella es camarera de un evento en el Bar Nerd en Fremont Street con otras dos estrellas del reality, y hay barra libre.

Little Jess dice que los otros camareros incluyen a Tiffani y a Jordanna James, quienes se hacen llamar las "Tiny Tenders" (pequeñas camareras).

Con todas las damas por debajo de los 5 pies de altura, Jess dice que son "pequeñas personas calientes" y "las chicas más calientes que jamás conocerás por debajo de 5 pies". Van a utilizar una plataforma elevada para que puedan estar a la altura de la mirada de los clientes.

Las chicas tienen experiencia. Little Jess dice que todas han sido camareras en el pasado y ella mimsa cuenta con 15 años de experiencia, y llevarán pantalones cortos negros a juego con pequeñas camisetas negras con el lema "Tiny Tenders".

Los boletos van por los $60 por adelantado o $100 en la puerta y Little Jess dice se han vendido 50 entradas hasta ahora y que esperan que varios cientos de personas aparezcan en el lugar con una capacidad máxima de 1.000.

Las puertas se abren a la 1 PM el domingo del Super Bowl y la barra libre es de 3 PM a 5 PM, que debe cubrir la primera mitad del Super Bowl LVIII.

Little Jess dice que la barra libre incluye bebidas, cervezas de barril, Capri Suns, chupitos de gelatina y tragos de tests de drogas servidos en vasos de orina. La barra libre también tiene descuentos en bebidas de primera calidad, como 5 dólares por un Jack Daniels.

Una vez que Usher suba al escenario para el espectáculo del descanso del Super Bowl, volverán los precios normales.

La pequeña Jess dice que apuestan por un ambiente tipo "Coyote Ugly" y que van a ir por ahí sirviendo tragos y bailando. Ella dice Jordanna James trabajó en el bar "Coyote Ugly" original en Nueva York.

Ninguna buena fiesta del Super Bowl está completa sin comida, y Little Jess dice que servirán aperitivos como patatas fritas, cerdos en una manta y de pizza.

Un bar abierto en Las Vegas el domingo tiene el potencial de ser ruidoso, pero Little Jess dice que las damas estarán atentas por si alguien cruza la línea y causa problemas.

Little Jess dice: "Haremos sonar los silbatos tres veces para indicar que hay problemas y luego nuestros guardias de seguridad de 6 pies se harán cargo de la situación".

There's a BIG party going down in Sin City for the Big Game ... a Super Bowl watch party with stars from the 'Little Women' reality franchise mixing up drinks and pouring shots!!!

"Little Women: NY" star Little Jess tells TMZ ... she's bartending a ticketed event at the Nerd Bar on Fremont Street with two other reality stars, and there's an open bar.

Little Jess says the other bartenders include "Little Women: Dallas" star Tiffani and "Little Women: NY" star Jordanna James ... they're calling themselves the "Tiny Tenders," short for bartenders.

With all of the ladies under 5 feet tall -- Jess says they are "hot little people" and "the hottest chicks you will ever meet under 5 foot" -- they are going to use a raised platform so they can be eye-level with customers and reach the bottles.

The ladies are experienced ... Little Jess says they've all bartended in the past and she has 15 years under her belt ... and they'll be wearing black booty shorts with matching black tiny crop tops emblazoned with "Tiny Tenders."

Tickets are going for $60 in advance or $100 at the door ... and Little Jess says 50 tickets have been sold so far and they're expecting several hundred folks to show up to a venue with a 1,000 max capacity.

Doors open at 1 PM on Super Bowl Sunday and the open bar is from 3 PM to 5 PM ... which should cover the first half of Super Bowl LVIII.

Little Jess says the open bar includes well drinks, draft beers, Capri Suns, Jell-O shots and failed drug test shots served in urine cups. The open bar also has discounts on premium booze, like $5 for Jack Daniels.

Once Usher hits the stage for the Super Bowl halftime show, it's back to regular pricing.

Little Jess says they're going for a "Coyote Ugly" vibe ... and they'll be going around serving up body shots and doing some go-go dancing. She says Jordanna James worked at the OG 'Coyote Ugly' bar in NYC.

No good Super Bowl party is complete without food ... and Little Jess says they'll be serving up appetizers like tater tots, pigs in a blanket and pizza nuggets.

An open bar in Las Vegas on Super Bowl Sunday has the potential to get rowdy ... but Little Jess says the ladies will all be wearing whistles which they use if anyone steps out of line and causes trouble.

Be warned ... Little Jess says, "We will blow the whistles three times to indicate there is trouble and then our 6-foot all-male security guards will take care of the situation."

Vegas has rolled out the red carpet for Super Bowl LVIII weekend ... capitalizing on the sporting event of the year with some exclusive swag.

Check it out ... the NFL Super Bowl Experience at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center is selling some funky gold sequined SB branded tops -- a must-have if you wanna stand out at those watch parties.

For those hoping to keep things low-key, there's also some casual clothing merch on sale ... and you can make a touchdown of your own by grabbing one of the footballs lining the walls.

Oh, and there are loads of toys on sale to keep those kiddos preoccupied while you enjoy the match.

Of course, excitement is high ahead of the game, with Vegas gearing up how they know best -- tons of Elvis Presley impersonators, bright lights, and massive SB billboards everywhere down the strip.

Preparation is also underway at Allegiant Stadium, where either the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs will reign supreme come Sunday.

Donna Kelce has apparently forgotten that her son is dating a known billionaire -- 'cause she's out here acting like she might not be in the luxury suite come game time.

Travis Kelce's mom did an interview on the 'Today' show Wednesday, and they were asking her where exactly she'd be sitting in the private luxury suite that Taylor and Co. will be in during the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.

Hoda suggested DK oughta sit next to Taylor for good luck -- amounting to a pretty standard and easy softball question ... but instead of knocking it out the park, Donna muddied things up a bit.

Check it out ... she says that the suites referenced are actually quite expensive (indeed, they are) and that as far as he knows, she'll be in the bleachers cheering Travis on around a bunch of normies. You can tell the 'Today' crew wasn't buying it ... and nobody else is either.

Fact is ... Donna will almost certainly be among the select few in the private box -- just like she has been for several weeks this season -- and it goes without saying ... Taylor and Travis's camps can absolutely afford it, even if it is in the price range of millions.

Even though most everyone assumes this ... Donna is almost making it seem like she's not sure where she'll be sitting -- and on its face, it sorta makes Taylor and Travis look bad, which is bizarre. You'd think this issue would've been cleared up by now ... apparently not!

Remember, Christian McCaffrey's mom also recently suggested she wouldn't be in a private suite because of the astronomical price ... but her son's GF, Olivia Culpo, quickly clarified that her potential future mother-in-law was, in fact, gonna be sitting pretty in a box at the game.

Ya gotta imagine Taylor and Travis will do the same as well at some point. Yes, Mama Bear ... you're gonna have a great freakin' view, and you're 100% getting the VIP treatment.

Brock Purdy has a passing resemblance to the man who assassinated John F. Kennedy -- something he was asked about this week ahead of the Super Bowl ... and it was awkward.

The 49ers QB was made aware of comparisons people have been floating lately between himself and Lee Harvey Oswald -- who, of course, killed JFK in 1963 using a sniper rifle. He's one of the most infamous people in American history ... and BP kinda looks like him.

During a press conference Tuesday, Brock had the question posed to him -- namely, was he aware folks have been calling him an Oswald look-alike? Unsurprisingly, he said he wasn't.

When Brock denied any knowledge about it, he was asked the obvious follow-up ... what do you make of the comparison? His response is funny -- you can tell he's at a loss for words.

It's probably not the greatest feeling knowing you're a bit of a dead ringer for the man responsible for murdering a U.S. president ... and Brock's stammering here reflects that.

The dude already had a lot on his mind right -- y'know, on account of the fact that he's gotta try and lead his team to a win on Sunday in the biggest game of the year -- and now ... he's got this weird connection to LHO that's been concocted by the Twitter-sphere. Not great!

Taylor Swift tribute artist and "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant Jade Jolie is calling all Swifties ... for a meet and greet and Swiftie look-alike contest ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

Jade is hosting the contest at the Cat's Meow in Downtown Vegas the day before Taylor's beau Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

There are 3 prizes for Swifties who can pull off Taylor's iconic look -- first place gets a Cat's Meow Party Package valued at $1,500 ... it's 4 hours of karaoke and a premium open bar for up to 20 people.

Second place gets $500 toward a bar tab and third place wins free admission for life to the Cat's Meow ... a famous karaoke joint on Fremont Street.

Jade, a damn good Taylor look-alike, will also host a meet-and-greet with fans.

The event is going down Saturday night from 9 PM to 1 AM ... which should be around the time Taylor is potentially touching down in Vegas after wrapping up her concert in Japan, hopping on her jet and zooming east to catch Travis and the Chiefs play.

Taylor and Jade have crossed paths in the past ... Jade was in her music video for 'You Need To Calm Down' and attended the 2019 VMA's with Tay. It doesn't sound like Taylor's gonna be on hand for this event ... so we're gonna have to settle for a bunch of look-alikes.

Start making those friendship bracelets!!!

La artista tributo a Taylor Swift y concursante de "RuPaul's Drag Race" -Jade Jolie- está convocando a todos los Swifties para un encuentro y un concurso de imitación de Swiftie antes del Super Bowl LVIII.

Jade organiza el concurso en el bar de karaoke Cat's Meow en Las Vegas el día antes de que Travis Kelce y sus Kansas City Chiefs se enfrenten a los San Francisco 49ers en la Super Bowl.

Hay tres premios para los Swifties que puedan lucir el icónico look de Taylor. El primer puesto se lleva un Cat's Meow Party Package valorado en 1.500 dólares... son 4 horas de karaoke y barra libre premium para hasta 20 personas.

El segundo lugar recibe $500 hacia una cuenta de bar y el tercer lugar gana la entrada gratuita de por vida a Cat's Meow, un famoso bar de karaoke en la calle Fremont.

Jade es una excelente doble de Taylor que también será la anfitriona de un meet-and-greet con los fans.

El evento tendrá lugar el sábado por la noche de 21:00 PM a 01:00 AM, que será más o menos la hora en la que Taylor podría llegar a las Vegas luego de su concierto en Japón. A tiempo para subirse a su jet y partir a ver a Travis y los Chiefs jugar.

Taylor y Jade se han cruzado en el pasado, Jade estuvo en su video musical para "You Need To Calm Down" y asistió a los VMA 2019 con Tay. No parece que Taylor vaya a estar presente en este evento, así que tendremos que conformarnos con un montón de parecidos.
