Super Bowl

Justin Timberlake faced the media in Minnesota -- and talked all about his Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday ... and (shocker) he charmed the hell out of everyone in the room.

JT said Tom Brady is on his "man crush" list and has shut down the possibility of an 'NSYNC reunion.

As we previously reported, Joey Fatone told us he wasn't going to Minnesota to perform in the show.

Timberlake says the focus is on his new band. We'll see if he's telling the truth ...

Miss America Cara Mund was also in the house ... and she asked a question while rockin' her tiara.

Anthony Scaramucci almost had the last laugh on Donald Trump, because T-Mobile offered him a fortune to do a Super Bowl ad, but then mysteriously pulled the plug ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the deal tell us the behemoth mobile carrier contacted Scaramucci's reps a few weeks ago and offered in the mid-6 figures for a surprise ad during the game. We're told the premise was Scaramucci at a podium fielding questions about T-Mobile, and whenever someone had their information wrong he'd scream, "Fake news!!!"

Days after the offer was made, it was pulled with no explanation. Sources connected with the former White House Communications Director say they believe it was yanked because of Scaramucci's politics.

We reached out to T-Mobile ... but the company was radio silent.

Keanu Reeves channeled his inner Johnny Utah from "Point Break" to pull off this thrilling -- and incredibly dangerous -- Super Bowl ad.

You can see Keanu stand on the bike as it's going at a high rate of speed. Then, out of nowhere, the bike seems to fly away. Just a guess ... he got help with the flying part.

Ricky Williams has a very important message for anyone who's thinking about hitting his Super Bowl 52 blowout ...

It's no longer BYOW -- 'cause he's got enough weed for the WHOLE PARTY.

Ricky updated us on his Super Bowl Sunday smoke-athon -- telling TMZ Sports he's going the whole 9 yards for his private party in the Hollywood Hills.

Booze, celebrities, vegan food, a massage therapist and now an unlimited supply of ganj -- Williams says he'll have "something for everybody."

Dear Eagles fans,

If you get drunk this weekend, please -- for the love of god -- resist the urge to punch a police horse in the mouth for a change.

Sincerely,

Ike Reese.

That's the essence of what the former Eagles Pro Bowler told us in Minnesota -- after 2 Philly fans punched 2 different police horses in 2 consecutive weeks during the NFL playoffs.

If you don't know Reese, WATCH THIS VIDEO -- dude's a legend.

One of Minneapolis' main Super Bowl LII party venues -- hosting P!nk, Jennifer Lopez, Imagine Dragons, Diddy, DJ Khaled and Cardi B -- was just evacuated for a gas leak.

Law enforcement sources tell us they responded to The Armory around 1 PM. We're told crews discovered the gas was coming from an above ground pressure relief valve. A rep for the MFD says the valve was completely drained by crews.

Good thing. The venue's gonna be busy this week.

Thursday: Imagine Dragons, Machine Gun Kelly, Mura Masa
Friday: P!nk
Saturday: Jennifer Lopez
Sunday: Diddy, DJ Khaled, French Montana, Cardi B, G-Eazy

Listen up Gisele -- legendary boxer Bernard Hopkins has some advice on how to deal with those unruly Philly fans when you get to Minnesota ... and it's basically not to be Gisele.

We got Hopkins -- a Philly legend -- out at LAX and asked him how the notoriously outspoken Mrs. Bündchen should handle herself Super Bowl weekend around his Eagles people.

NOTE: Eagles fans are freakin' crazy, having actually assaulted Santa Claus on one occasion.

B-Hop had a very simple idea for Gisele, utilizing a skill she's used to ... playing dress-up.

"You got to camouflage yourself so you won't be noticed. Cause Philly, no matter where we go we make that Philly."

UFC star Eddie Alvarez is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan.

His boss, Dana White, lives and breathes New England Patriots.

So, when we asked Eddie how he's getting along with Dana during Super Bowl week ... he had a 2-fingered response.

It's hilarious.

Of course, they're just kidding around -- but Eddie says they both agreed to suspend the friendship "until Philly wins."

In serious news ... since Eddie famously fought Conor McGregor -- we asked for his take on a possible Conor vs. Floyd MMA match.

Eddie makes it clear he thinks Floyd would get the beating of his life -- and even his 12-year-old son could get Mayweather to tap inside of an octagon.

Should Patriots and Eagles players have sex before the Super Bowl??

"GO FOR IT," says Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis ... who's debunking the myth that bangin' before the big game can mess with your mojo.

It's pretty simple -- if you're a studly NFL star, chances are you're getting PLENTY of action during the season.

So, TD advises not to break routine -- "Keep doing that, don't change."

He would know -- Terrell's a former Super Bowl MVP and 2-time SB champ with the Broncos.

Terrell Owens is clearly still pissed about the way things went down at the end of his career in San Francisco ... because he just threw some Hall of Fame shade at the 49ers.

T.O. touched down in Minneapolis for the Super Bowl festivities when we asked if he thought he would finally get the votes to be enshrined in Canton this year.

Owens insists he doesn't give A DAMN about the Hall of Fame -- but if he DID get inducted, he would show no love to 9ers ... the team that launched his career.

Yeah, we know our question about picking a team to be enshrined with is more of a baseball thing -- but you get the point.

Of course, things ended nasty between Owens and the 49ers when a contract dispute erupted in the final year of his deal. He ended up leaving and signing a $49 million contract with the Eagles.

Despite all the drama, T.O.'s old 49ers QB Jeff Garcia tells TMZ Sports he strongly believes Owens belongs in the Hall.

Joe Biden says he'll be rootin' hard for Philly this Sunday ... but the former Vice President doesn't seem 100% confident his Eagles will be flying high at Super Bowl 52.

Why?? In a word -- BRADY.

"I don't think they're gonna take out Brady," Biden told TMZ Sports at LAX. "Brady's awful good."

No disagreements here.

Still, there's no questioning Joe's fandom. Remember -- the ex-VP told Carson Wentz, "It's our year" last season ... and even advised former President Obama to "get on the Wentz Wagon!"

I, Nancy ... am now a New England Patriots cheerleader!!

The figure skating superstar dusted off her skates and hit the ice with the Pats cheer squad Tuesday in Minneapolis ... teaching the ladies how to nail some of the basic moves right before the Super Bowl.

We gotta admit ... it's an accomplishment in itself that nobody busted their ass. Then again ... they have a 2-time Olympic medalist showing them the ropes.

But the teacher turned into the student when Kerrigan was handed a set of pom poms and joined the girls for a "Let's Go Pats" chant ... ON ICE!!

Infighting at the White House ... and it's all over Super Bowl LII!

Don't worry, it's all in good fun -- but Kellyanne Conway says she's got an enemy at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for the next week ... Trump's chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly!

Turns out, Kellyanne's a lifelong Eagles fan (she grew up outside Philly) and she's picking the Birds to beat the Patriots on Sunday.

Gen. John Kelly is a South Boston guy ... he's ride or die Tom Brady.

The big question ... who's Trump rooting for?

He's been tight with Bob Kraft for years but had a falling out with TB12 in 2017.

Chris Long says he's ready to stick it to Donald Trump AGAIN -- stating he will NOT attend the White House visit if the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Backstory -- Long boycotted the trip in 2017 when he was invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as a part of the New England Patriots championship team.

Now, he's on the other side ... telling the Barstool Sports podcast, "Pardon My Take," straight-up -- "No, I'm not going to the White House. Are you kidding me?!"

Terrell Owens has some savage Super Bowl advice for the Eagles before his former team squares off with Tom Brady and the Patriots.

"Don't ever think you got 'em beat -- gotta put your foot on the throat," Owens told TMZ Sports.

T.O. knows what he's talking about ... the 6-time Pro Bowler balled out against the Pats at Super Bowl 39, but the Eagles let the game slip away after a back-and-forth battle.

So, when their big day arrives ... Owens -- who played his Super Bowl on a broken leg -- says they gotta go in with the mentality to kill or be killed.

Deep breaths, people. One more week 'til we can enjoy the unofficial national holiday that is Super Bowl LII ... but until then, enjoy these pics of famous fanatics reppin' their favorite teams on the sidelines.

'SNL' star Jay Pharoah knows how to get them likes on the 'Gram ... posing with a bunch of L.A. Rams cheerleaders. No surprise where you'll find Ludacris and Ciara, but ya might be surprised where the "Pitch Perfect" cast ended up one particular Sunday.
