Super Bowl

Seahawks DE DeMarcus Lawrence is all in on more representation on the biggest stages -- Super Sunday -- and the NFL star is giving major props to Bad Bunny for what the halftime show means to Spanish-speaking fans.

Lawrence was asked about Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl LX performance, and he didn’t hesitate ... pointing to something he believes is more important than just whether you like or dislike his songs.

“We have so many cultures and ethnic backgrounds in America,” Lawrence said. “I think it’s time to start embracing all of them, bringing them in the fold -- and shoot, that’s what really makes America great.”

Fresh off Bad Bunny's anti-ICE statements at the Grammy Awards, Roger Goodell doesn't anticipate an encore during the Super Bowl Halftime Show ... telling reporters he feels the music superstar will use the stage to unite, not divide, the crowd.

The NFL commish was asked on Monday about Benito's political acceptance speech at Sunday's event ... and whether he was anticipating a similar message being conveyed when he takes the field at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8.

Goodell said Mr. Bunny was right for the gig for two reasons -- BB is "one of the greatest artists in the world" -- but he also "understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people and be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that."

Brittany Mahomes is usually spending this week gearing up to watch her hubby, Patrick, and the Kansas City Chiefs play in the Super Bowl ... but since the team fell short of the playoffs, she's spending her time in the cold building an igloo!!

Mahomes shared her DIY project on Instagram ... and despite having some snow on the ground, it wasn't enough to support their building alone.

Inspired by an idea on the internet, she bought a ton of aluminum trays, filled them with water and dye, and left them outside for a few days to freeze.

Reverend Jordan Wells has been an NFL fan his whole life ... but he told us he's boycotting the Super Bowl this year -- and not because his beloved Kansas City Chiefs didn't make it ... it's because Bad Bunny's headlining the halftime show.

Wells stopped by "TMZ Live" to explain his boycott of Super Bowl LX has nothing to do with Bad Bunny singing in Spanish ... it has everything to do with the Puerto Rican superstar supposedly making himself an activist, who Wells says, is demonizing one half of the country.

Wells says ... "I expect this Super Bowl to be the most political Super Bowl we have ever seen, because of who they picked and because of how the NFL has handled that."

Turning Point USA just revealed its lineup for its own Super Bowl halftime show ... and to no one's surprise Kid Rock is on the list.

Kid Rock is a huge President Trump supporter, and he will be joined on stage by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.

TPUSA is calling the event "The All American Halftime Show," and it's airing on five networks, plus TPUSA's social media channels on YouTube, X, and Rumble.

Super Bowl week is off to a shaky start -- literally -- after more than a dozen earthquakes have hit the Bay Area ... as the NFL world descends on the area for Super Bowl LX.

According to FOX Weather, the quakes have been centered in San Ramon, which is about 40 minutes away from Levi's Stadium -- the home of Sunday's big game.

The United States Geological Survey earthquake map shows 20 quakes in the area, with the most powerful clocking in at 4.3, and two registering at 3.8.

Kendall Jenner said in her Super Bowl ad she was ready to test her luck with football players ... but take a deep breath, Cincinnati Bengals fans -- Joe Burrow is still safe from the "Kardashian Curse."

Two doctored images popped ups on social media late Thursday night ... making it look like the model and NFL quarterback posted each other on their Instagram accounts around the same time before hitting the "delete" button.

The fake Kendall post shared a pic of Burrow rocking a green hat ... the same shot he posted himself earlier in the day. The bogus Burrow image showed Kendall sitting at a table and covering her face with a wine glass.

Holy open mic, Batman ... the Dark Knight rose up in Santa Clara earlier this week to slam the city council's cooperation with ICE!

A man dressed as the Caped Crusader -- identified as "Batman" on the monitor Tuesday -- swooped down on the podium like Gotham's defender himself ... instantly launching into a tirade which began with an expletive.

In the 3-minute speech, Batman accuses the city council of allowing the federal government to walk all over them ... and, he expresses his concern about hundreds of masked men coming to Santa Clara. As you know, the federal government announced in October ICE agents will be present at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8, the day of the Super Bowl ... but sources told TMZ Sports today there is no plan for ICE to conduct immigration enforcement at the site, so details remain sketchy.

Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot -- the couple who got caught having an affair at a Coldplay concert last summer -- won't ever live it down ... because Pepsi's thrown the moment into their new ad campaign!

The soda giant just dropped their Super Bowl ad on social media ... which begins with a polar bear -- an iconic Coca-Cola mascot -- taking the Pepsi Challenge, and choosing Pepsi over Coke.

The shocked bear runs off to a therapy session -- with a heavily bearded Taika Waititi talking him through his issues -- before he hits the city streets and meets a lady bear on the street ... who offers him a Pepsi.

The two then attend a concert together ... where they're shown on the Jumbotron ... cuddled up and sipping on the beverage.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement will have a presence in the San Francisco area next weekend, according to DHS, but there are a few places ICE won't be arresting undocumented people ... at the actual Super Bowl.

Sources tell TMZ Sports there is no plan for ICE to be at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, February 8 ... meaning there will be no immigration enforcement at the site of Super Bowl LV.

We're also told there hasn't been talk of ICE enforcing immigration policy at NFL-sponsored events across the Bay Area in the days leading up to kickoff.

All good things must come to an end ... even for Bad Bunny. The megastar implied he doesn't plan on doing music forever during a questionnaire with Stephen Colbert.

When the 'Late Show' host asked Benito to describe the rest of his life in five words, BB used "retired" as one of the five!

The other four were "happy," "eating," "tripletas," and "living in Puerto Rico." Tripletas are a street food sandwich staple in Puerto Rico, and obviously, "living in Puerto Rico" is more than one word, but when you're on top of the world, you don't need to be restrained by measly word counts.

Tom Brady made a surprise appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Wednesday night -- all thanks to Kendall Jenner!

It's all in the clip -- the supermodel video-called the 7-time Super Bowl champ during her interview on 'The Tonight Show' to get his analysis on both teams heading into Super Bowl LX -- the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.

Tom walked Kendall and Jimmy through his thoughts on each team ... which Kendall pretended to follow along with, leading to laughs from the audience. At the end of his analysis, Kendall decided she'd go with the "underdog" Pats.

President Donald Trump might not say it outright, but it sure sounds like he's pulling for the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl ... which is interesting, considering team owner Robert Kraft previously claimed the two weren't on speaking terms anymore.

Nos. 45-47 was asked about the Big Game when he swung by "The Will Cain Show" while on the campaign trail in Iowa ... and he sang the praises of the Pats ahead of their showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.

"Bob Kraft is a friend of mine," Trump said. "I've watched that team, and you gotta hand it to him. He had the great team and now he's got the great team again."

Bill Belichick -- arguably the greatest football coach of all-time -- has inexplicably come up short his first time on the Hall of Fame ballot ... meaning the man with 8 rings will NOT be going into Canton this year!

As you'd expect, upon hearing the ludicrous news, everyone around the sport was left questioning ... how?

Belichick's resume is unmatched. He is a 6x Super Bowl-winning head coach, and he won two more as an assistant for the New York Giants. Bill was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year three times, and he won 333 games as an HC, including the playoffs.

Attorney and cohost of "The MeidasTouch" podcast Ben Meiselas is weighing in on a question on the back of all of our minds ahead of Super Bowl LX ... will ICE enter the stadium and potentially make the event about them?

Ben -- who represented former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday, and he started by sharing his hopes for the big day, saying ... "I hope we don't have masked agents running around in California and running around the Super Bowl ... I certainly hope that."

But the reality could be different.

Ben said, "I know by now -- and I think the American people should realize by now -- that kind of blind hope that this regime, as I call it, will do the right thing ... I'm not there yet."

Kendall Jenner is officially in on the joke -- and she’s using the Super Bowl spotlight to poke fun at one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan's most infamous pop-culture myths.

In a new Fanatics Sportsbook ad, Kendall leans straight into the so-called "Kardashian Curse," the long-running internet theory that athletes' careers mysteriously nosedive after dating someone from the famous family.

"Haven't you heard? The internet says I'm cursed," she says in the spot. "Any basketball player who dates me kind of hits ... a rough patch."
