Super Bowl

Lady Gaga, Tom Brady and a bunch of celebs are banding together for a special Super Bowl LIX segment ... filming a tribute to a series of tragic events across the country.

Check out this video from Bourbon Street ... Tom is front and center in a Los Angeles Fire Department shirt as a group of sports stars flanked by law enforcement and first responders walk down the street with a camera crew capturing their every move.

Michael Strahan's talking into the camera with a NOLA Strong shirt ... and you hear him reference the New Orleans terror attack, the devastating North Carolina hurricane and the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.

2/6 1:45 PM -- Surprise!!! Lil Wayne revealed on Thursday his big reveal is "Tha Carter VI" is dropping in June ... in addition to being featured on LiAngelo Ball's "Tweaker (Remix)!!!"

Lil Wayne is going to be absent from Super Bowl LIX ... even though it's taking place in his hometown of New Orleans.

The rapper confirmed he'd be MIA from Sunday's big game by uploading a video announcement to his Instagram Stories, where he shouted out The Big Easy and said a seat would need to be filled in his absence.

While the "Lollipop" artist clearly won't be a surprise guest during Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance -- something that's been long speculated by fans -- Wayne assured fans he had "something very special" in the works and encouraged people to keep their eyes peeled on Thursday, February 6.

Before this cool kid rockin' a buzz cut turned into a star athlete and was rockin' three Super Bowl rings, he was just a lil' guy playing basketball, baseball AND football ... and admiring his famous father who could pitch mighty fast!

At the 2017 NFL Draft, he was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs and spent his rookie season as the backup to QB, Alex Smith. On game day, he likes listening to J. Cole.

When this daddy of three isn't slaying his double-breasted suits, he's probably admiring his wife's Sports Illustrated photos.

President Donald Trump and Taylor Swift are already attending Super Bowl LIX ... and now the big game may be getting even more star power -- 'cause Kanye West says there's a chance he'll also be in the building!

Photogs caught Ye in L.A. Tuesday night where they asked West if he had any plans for Super Sunday. While he wasn't fully committed, he said he and his wife Bianca Censori might "pull up" to NOLA and catch the action.

It wouldn't be the first time Ye has attended the SB. In fact, he was in Las Vegas for the game last year (the Chiefs beat the 49ers), rockin' a face covering that featured a white crucifix, while Censori was decked out in an all-black fit.

Kendrick Lamar is about to find out if his smash hit "Not Like Us" is as popular with NFL and network lawyers and execs as it is with the public -- and his Super Bowl Halftime Show hangs in the balance.

This is a big day down in the Big Easy, as Kendrick's set list is expected to be handed off to the NFL and FOX honchos gathered in New Orleans for the game. Wednesday is typically the day Halftime Show performers pull back the curtain for the league, and reveal the songs they're going to perform.

But, this year there's extra attention on Kendrick's plans, because of "Not Like Us," and the defamation lawsuit Drake filed against Universal Music Group over the diss track ... which, as we all know, flat-out calls Drake a "certified pedophile."

Lil Wayne appears to have a schedule opening this Sunday after announcing he'll be M-I-A at the Super Bowl -- and one strip joint is requesting his "Lollipop" services!!!

Mike Dickinson, the club operator for The Pony in Lexington, Kentucky tells TMZ Hip Hop ... “Lil Wayne is NEW ORLEANS culture and music. His hits get the party started everywhere they’re played especially at Pony Lexington where our entertainers and guests love him."

"We thought he should have been the halftime show so when he wasn’t we invited him!!!"

Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia is making her presence known down in New Orleans ... landing in The Big Easy with friends ahead of the Super Bowl.

Check it out ... the Barstool Sports personality hits up Bourbon Street with "BFFs" cohost Josh Richards and Twitch streamer Kylie "Sketch" Cox. Brianna and company are sipping on a variety of NOLA cocktails while bar-hopping hot spots.

Brianna clearly isn't laying low in the Crescent City ... rocking a black crisscross top -- which just so happens to show off her ample curves.

Reporters are trying their damnedest to get Travis Kelce to slip up and reveal whether he plans to put a ring on Taylor Swift's finger ... but the Chiefs superstar is giving a masterclass in evading the topic -- sidestepping several questions with ease during Super Bowl week.

The 35-year-old tight end was asked if he's recently gone diamond shopping during his availability on Wednesday ... an eye roll-inducing attempt at finding out whether he's been thinking about proposing to his pop icon girlfriend.

Kelce sniffed it out right away ... and played dumb when sharing his take on whether diamonds are a "good investment."

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are stoked to play in front of a sitting president during the Super Bowl ... with both Kansas City Chiefs superstars telling reporters Sunday's big game will be extra special with Donald Trump in the building.

The quarterback was asked about No. 47's expected presence in NOLA for his matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles ... and the honor isn't lost on him.

"It's always cool to be able to play in front of a sitting president," Mahomes said. "Someone that is at the top position in our country."

President Donald Trump won't be watching the Super Bowl from the White House family room ... POTUS is attending the big game in New Orleans!

TMZ Sports has confirmed DJT plans to be in the building at Caesars Superdome on Sunday evening for SB 59, the first Super Bowl of his second term.

It's well-known that 47 is a big sports fan who loves going to see events live. Over the last few months, despite readying to take office again, Trump has attended a UFC fight at Madison Square Garden in NYC and the annual Army vs. Navy football game.

Super Bowl ticket prices are tumbling ... but slow your roll, normies -- they're not quite affordable for the average Joe just yet.

According to Gametime -- a ticket resale app -- get-in prices for this weekend's Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles matchup are trending downward.

The lowest ticket cost is $4,339 -- and while that's a small fortune to most ... it is down from $5,860 last Friday and from $6,375 on Jan. 27.

If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl on Sunday, don't count on seeing Andy Reid riding off into any sunsets ... his good buddy, Dick Vermeil, tells TMZ Sports there's no chance the coach retires following the big game.

At 66 years old and with over three decades of work in the NFL, there's been some question as to whether or not Reid could hang up his headset if he hoists yet another Lombardi Trophy ... but Vermeil says it just won't happen.

The former Kansas City head coach tells us Reid's still in love with the game ... and he's locked into a long-term contract as well.

TMZ may collect a share of sales or other compensation from links on this page.

Kickoff is less than a week away ... and it's time to get stocked for those Super Bowl celebrations!

If you're hosting friends and family as Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, you're sure to score big points with your guests with this game-winning decor.

The Cleveland Browns' franchise player is asking for a change of scenery ... with Myles Garrett publicly requesting a trade so he can pursue a Super Bowl championship.

The defensive superstar laid out his wishes in a statement on Monday ... saying his dream has always been to compete for a title -- and his goals won't allow him to be "complacent."

"The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl," Garrett said in a statement.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were a couple thousand miles apart on Sunday, but their outfits sure seemed to indicate they were thinking about each other nonetheless.

As Swift rolled to the Grammys in Southern California in a Chiefs-red outfit adorned with a "T" chain on her leg ... Kelce touched down in New Orleans for Super Bowl week in attire that appeared to be an homage to his popstar girlfriend.

Check it out ... the Kansas City star's tracksuit was all gold -- a seeming nod to the six trophies Swift was nominated for Sunday night.

Taylor Swift's ready for next week's Super Bowl ... 'cause she's bringing her "Chiefs Red" era to the Grammy Awards Sunday night -- and, it looks like she's shouting out her boyfriend Travis Kelce in a tiny way.

The singer-songwriter is at Crypto.com Arena for the 67th Grammy Awards ... and, she pulled up in a low-cut red gown -- glittering underneath the bright lights of the carpet.

The color matches Kelce's red uniform ... and, eagle-eyed fans will notice the little "T" charm hanging down from the dress -- presumably a tribute to him.
