Super Bowl

Ryan McKenna, famous for snapping a viral Super Bowl selfie years ago with Justin Timberlake, is in more legal trouble -- this time cops say he pulled a few no-nos for a guy on probation.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ryan was arrested earlier this month in Florida after his probation officer discovered he'd traveled out of state without permission.

The PO says he got suspicious when Ryan sent an email saying he was "unsure" of any outstanding conditions for October, even though Ryan had already checked in for the month.

When he called Ryan, he didn't answer ... so he dialed his mom, and she told him Ryan was back in Naples, FL, where Ryan had been arrested in February in the case that led to his probation.

Problem is ... the PO says Ryan's address on file is in Massachusetts, and he's supposed to get permission before leaving the state.

When Ryan finally called back, he admitted being back in Florida without getting the PO's permission ... and based on that "unusual behavior," the officer tested Ryan for drugs and alcohol, and says it came back positive for booze.

Major screwup on Ryan's part, and not just because he's under 21 -- as we first reported, Ryan's also not allowed to consume alcohol as a condition of his probation.

Ryan copped to drinking on Oct. 12, even though he'd previously told his PO he didn't. The officer says Ryan was upfront about knowing booze was off limits and lying to his probation officer is also a violation.

Ryan was arrested, posed for a new mug shot and is due back in court Monday morning for arraignment.

TMZ broke the story ... cops were called to a California Pizza Kitchen in Naples, on the eve of the Super Bowl, after they were told Ryan was drunk and had hit his buddy.

Los fans de los Patriots que claman por la cabeza de Bill Belichick necesitan tomarse un calmante, o al menos eso piensa Jay Glazer, quien le dijo a TMZ Sports que el entrenador en jefe del New England no debería ser despedido a mitad de temporada.

"Así es la cosa con Bill", dijo Glazer en LAX esta semana. "Nunca se sabe. El tipo es un genio. Es un genio".

Belichick es sin duda el mejor entrenador de todos los tiempos. Ha sido 8 veces campeón del Super Bowl, seis como entrenador en jefe, ha ganado 299 partidos en su carrera, pero está pasando por una mala racha en Foxborough, desde la salida de Tom Brady.

Y las cosas se han puesto aún más difíciles. El equipo ahora es solo 1-5, y un fuerte contingente de aficionados de los Pats ha dejado claro que quieren expulsar a Belichick.

Glazer, sin embargo, instó a los partidarios del New England a tener paciencia, diciendo que ve a Belichick cambiando las cosas pronto.

"Todos en la NFL, las personas, solo quieren la cabeza de alguien", dijo Glazer. "Cada vez que tienes una mala semana o un mal comienzo... pero las personas cambian; mira a los Lions el año pasado. Empezaron muy lento y lo dieron vuelta".

No está claro si el equipo tiene suficientes estrellas para enderezar el rumbo, incluso si Belichick hace su magia. El propio Glazer lo reconoce, pero el famoso periodista asegura que lo ve hasta el final a pesar de todo.

Patriots fans clamoring for Bill Belichick's head need to take a chill pill ... at least, that's according to Jay Glazer, who tells TMZ Sports the New England head coach is a guy who should never be fired midseason.

"Here's the thing with Bill, man," the NFL insider said out at LAX this week. "You never know. Guy is a genius. He's a genius."

Belichick is undoubtedly the greatest coach of all-time -- he's a 8X Super Bowl champ, six as a head coach, who's won 299 games in his career -- but he's hit a rough patch in Foxborough ever since Tom Brady's departure.

And, things have gotten so bad recently -- the team is now just 1-5, and a loud contingent of Pats fans have made it clear they want Belichick ousted over it all.

Glazer, though, urged New England supporters to have patience ... saying he could see Belichick turning things around ASAP.

"Everything in the NFL, people just want someone's head," Glazer said. "Every time you have a bad week or bad start -- but people have started out; look at the Lions last year. They started off really slow and turned back around."

It's unclear if the team has enough stars to get the ship righted even if Belichick comes up with the magic touch -- which Glazer himself acknowledged -- but the famed journalist made it known he'd see it to the end regardless.

"I'm never going to stick a fork in that guy during the middle of a season," Glazer said.

Before Dion Lewis was hauled off to jail last week, he allegedly called cops "p***ies" and threatened to spit on an officer -- this according to new court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports.

In the docs, Seminole Police Dept. officers say they were called out to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa in Florida at around 2 PM on Sept. 18 after venue security claimed Lewis was being "unruly."

Cops say the former New England Patriots running back was told he had to leave the property ... and was escorted out to valet where authorities said they allowed him to either cab it or Uber it away from the premises without further repercussions.

But, according to the docs, "Lewis became belligerent in front of other casino patrons, calling officers 'p***ies,' and advising he was not leaving property because he did nothing wrong."

He then allegedly said he'd spit in a sergeant's face "if he touched him."

Lewis was taken to a nearby jail a short time later ... and ultimately charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

His attorney submitted a not guilty plea on the former tailback's behalf earlier this week. He's now due back in court next month.

Antes de que Dion Lewis fuera llevado a la cárcel la semana pasada, supuestamente insultó a los policías y amenazó con escupir a uno de ellos, de acuerdo a nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ Sports.

En los documentos, los oficiales del Departamento de Policía de Seminole dicen que fueron llamados al Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa en Florida alrededor de las 2 PM el 18 de septiembre, después de que la seguridad del lugar afirmara que Lewis estaba siendo "revoltoso".

La policía dice que al ex New England Patriots se le dijo que tenía que irse de la propiedad y fue escoltado por el encargado de los estacionamientos, cuando las autoridades dicen que se le permitió pedir un Uber o un taxi afuera de las instalaciones, sin más repercusiones.

Pero según los documentos, "Lewis se volvió beligerante frente a otros clientes del casino, llamando a los oficiales 'p***ies', y advirtiendo que no iba a salir de la propiedad porque no hizo nada malo".

Luego, supuestamente, dijo que iba a escupirle en la cara a un sargento "si lo tocaba".

Lewis fue llevado a una cárcel cercana poco tiempo después, y en última instancia, acusado de un delito menor de allanamiento de morada.

Su abogado presentó una declaración de inocencia en nombre del exjugador a principios de esta semana. Deberá volver a los tribunales el próximo mes.

Usher's upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show definitely has people feeling nostalgic already -- 'cause his music has been played like crazy in the days since the news broke.

The numbers are pretty staggering ... Billboard tells us Usher's tunes (new and old) have seen a significant spike across all streaming services since the announcement was made Sunday, and the increased plays are tipping into the millions.

Tidal, for example, tells us Usher's "Superstar" was the most popular song on their platform on the day of the announcement. They also say "You Make Me Wanna..." saw the biggest jump in streaming percentage from the day prior at 55%.

Another music streaming company that felt the Usher effect was Amazon ... they tell us "Yeah!" climbed a whopping 140% in plays compared to the day before the announcement. As a result, we're told it jumped 149 spots in their internal popular song rankings list.

Usher será el próximo espectáculo del medio tiempo del Super Bowl. Al parecer tiene a la gente nostálgica en llamas ya que su música se ha reproducido muchísimo desde que se hizo el anuncio.

Usher is downplaying all the fallout his viral moment with Keke Palmer caused, at least on his end ... he thinks the whole debacle was sensationalized so he simply used the situation to their advantage!!!

The R&B icon was confronted with the issue Tuesday on "The Breakfast Club" as he explained the differences between his Vegas shows -- like the one that jeopardized Keke's relationship and his newly announced Super Bowl LVIII Halftime gig.

Usher was asked if he felt any guilt about creating a wedge between Keke and her boyfriend Darius Jackson this past 4th of July weekend.

Usher blames the internet for blowing up the spot but has no regrets for their make-good, in the form of the "Boyfriend" music video starring Keke that leaned into the moment.

The world's still heavily invested in Keke and Darius ... the actress recently pled the 5th in the name of Beyonce on morning TV.

As for the Super Bowl, Usher says Jay-Z woke him up early in the morning about a week ago with the good news, but played it coy when asked about any potential guests joining him on the big stage.

Usher le está restando importancia a todas las consecuencias que causó su momento viral con Keke Palmer. Él piensa que toda la debacle fue sensacionalista por lo que simplemente utilizó la situación a su favor.

El icono del R & B se refirió al tema el martes en "The Breakfast Club" mientras explicaba las diferencias entre sus espectáculos en Las Vegas (como el que puso en peligro la relación de Keke) y su recién anunciada presentación en el medio tiempo del Super Bowl LVIII.

Le preguntaron si se sentía culpable por crear una cuña entre Keke y su novio Darius Jackson el pasado fin de semana del 4 de julio.

Usher culpa a Internet por hacer el anuncio, pero no se arrepiente de su reconciliación en forma de video musical "Boyfriend", protagonizado por Keke.

El mundo sigue pendiente de Keke y Darius, la actriz prometió recientemente el 5º en nombre de Beyonce en la televisión matinal.

En cuanto al Super Bowl, Usher dice que Jay-Z lo despertó temprano por la mañana hace una semana con la buena noticia, pero se hizo el tímido cuando le preguntaron acerca de los posibles invitados que se unirían a él en el gran escenario.

Usher dijo: "Es el honor poder tachar una actuación en el Super Bowl de mi lista de deseos. Estoy impaciente por ofrecer al mundo un espectáculo diferente a todo lo que han visto de mí hasta ahora. Gracias a los fans y a todos los que han hecho posible esta oportunidad. Nos vemos muy pronto".

Y el ganador del medio tiempo del Super Bowl es ... ¡¡¡USHER!!!

Apple Music acaba de hacer el gran anuncio, con la ayuda de Kim Kardashian. Si crees en la espontaneidad ... ves a Kim llamando a Usher para la gran revelación. Después de todo, ¡ahora es actriz!".

Super Bowl LVIII se llevará a cabo en el Estadio Allegiant, hogar de los Raiders de Las Vegas, en febrero de 2024.

No ha habido ningún anuncio de otros cantantes ... organizadores suelen esperar hasta más cerca del evento para anunciar quién más se llevará a cabo.

And the Super Bowl Halftime winner is ... USHER!!!

Apple Music just made the big announcement, with the help of Kim Kardashian. If you believe in spontaneity ... you see Kim calling Usher for the big reveal. After all, she's now an actress!"

Super Bowl LVIII will go down at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, in February 2024.

There has been no announcement of other singers ... organizers typically wait until closer to the event to announce who else will be performing.

As you know, last year Rihanna performed at the Halftime Show and did it alone. Remember, her big reveal was that she was pregnant with Riot!

Los fans han estado pensando si ex grupos como *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys o Destiny's Child se subirán el escenario del Super Bowl este año, pero resulta que eso no va a suceder.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo dicen a TMZ que, a pesar de los rumores de que las tres icónicas bandas del pasado unirían fuerzas para el Super Bowl LVIII en Las Vegas, ese simplemente no es el caso.

Nos dicen que los grupos no han sido contactados y que tampoco hay conversaciones para hacerlo realidad.

Internet se volvió loco después de que se difundieran rumores de una posible actuación de *NSYNC y Destiny's Child en el gran partido del próximo año, y la ilusión se extendió un poco más para incluir a Backstreet Boys.

La nostalgia se disparó desde que *NSYNC se reuniera para los MTV VMAs y volviera a los estudios a grabar su primera canción en décadas para la nueva película 'Trolls'.

Fans have been thinking former groups *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Destiny's Child will all take the stage at this year's Super Bowl ... turns out, it's not gonna happen.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... despite rumors that the 3 iconic musical bands of the past will join forces for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, it's just not the case.

We're told the groups haven't been approached to perform, and no conversations are going down to turn it into reality.

The internet's been going nuts after rumors spread about *NSYNC and Destiny's Child being slated to perform at next year's big game ... and the dream expanded to include the Backstreet Boys.

The nostalgia train has really taken off since *NSYNC reunited at the MTV VMAs and got back in the booth to record the first song in decades for the new 'Trolls' flick.

Michael Irvin was back analyzing games on the NFL Network on Sunday ... after he settled his $100 million defamation lawsuit against Marriott.

The Dallas Cowboys legend was all smiles on "NFL Gameday Morning" as he was introduced by host Rich Eisen ... saying on the show, "It's good to be here."

The appearance marked the first time Irvin had been on the network since February ... after he had been suspended following allegations that he was inappropriate with a Marriott employee during Super Bowl week in Phoenix.

The worker -- who Irvin ID'ed as Jane Doe in court documents -- alleged that Irvin had stopped her near the hotel's bar, told her she was attractive ... and then asked her "whether she knew anything about having a 'big Black man inside of [her].'"

Irvin was adamant the claims were not true ... and he filed a lawsuit against Marriott a short time later, saying the Hotel giant's "employees and management inaccurately and inflammatorily accused Mr. Irvin of misconduct to the National Football League" -- costing him tens of millions of dollars. Irvin and his attorney, Levi McCathern, released video of the apparent interaction between the two -- and said it showed nothing more than a brief, innocuous conversation.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the parties reached a settlement recently ... which paved the way for Irvin's return to NFL N. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed publicly.

Michael Irvin volvió a analizar los partidos en la NFL Network el domingo, luego de que resolviera su demanda de 100 millones de dólares por difamación contra Marriott.

La leyenda de los Dallas Cowboys era todo sonrisas en "NFL Gameday Morning" mientras era presentado por el anfitrión Rich Eisen, diciendo en el programa: "Es bueno estar aquí".

Esta es la primera aparición de Irvin desde febrero, luego de ser suspendido tras las acusaciones de comportamiento inapropiado con una empleada de Marriott durante la semana del Super Bowl en Phoenix.

La trabajadora, a la que Irvin identificó como Jane Doe en los documentos judiciales, alegó que Irvin la había abordado cerca del bar del hotel, le había dicho que era atractiva y luego le preguntó "si sabía algo sobre tener un 'gran hombre negro dentro de ella'".

Irvin insistió en que las afirmaciones no eran ciertas y poco después presentó una demanda contra Marriott, alegando que "los empleados y la dirección del gigante hotelero acusaron de forma inexacta e incendiaria al Sr. Irvin de mala conducta ante la Liga Nacional de Fútbol", lo que le costó decenas de millones de dólares. Irvin y su abogado, Levi McCathern, publicaron un vídeo de la aparente interacción entre los dos, y dijeron que no mostraba nada más que una breve e inocua conversación.

Según el Dallas Morning News, las partes llegaron a un acuerdo recientemente, preparando de esta manera el regreso de Irvin a la NFL N. Los términos del acuerdo no fueron revelados públicamente.

Book your tickets to Las Vegas in February, Jets fans ... 'cause your team is going to the Super Bowl there this season!!!

... at least, that's according to New York legend Joe Klecko, who tells TMZ Sports he truly believes, with Aaron Rodgers now under center, his old team will make it to the Big Game this year.

"I do think they will," the newly minted Hall of Famer said out in NYC this week. "Absolutely!"

"With our four-time MVP, how could you not go to the Super Bowl!?"

Of course, while Klecko is biased (he played for the Jets for 11 seasons) -- he didn't always feel Rodgers would be the game-changer for his former squad.

Back in February, he said on The Mike Francesa Podcast that he actually preferred it if the Jets would have gone after Derek Carr instead of Rodgers.

Seems, though, after watching the quarterback completely submerge himself into his new team and city ... Klecko is all in.
