Super Bowl

Ice Spice got into the theme of Super Bowl weekend when she set her backfield in motion ... twerking while performing Friday night in NOLA with Travis Scott.

The duo headlined The One Party by Uber ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday ... Ice was performing her own tracks, as well as "Oh Shhh..." -- her 2024 track that she did with Travis.

During the concert ... which was free for Uber One members ... Ice was recorded asking the crowd how they were doing mid-performance ... needless to say -- they went nuts.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker made it clear the was going to be some scoring off the field ... after they were snapped making out Friday night at a Super Bowl bash.

The couple was snapped locking lips at FanDuel's Super Bowl Party Powered by Spotify ... both dressed in black -- mouths agape.

Not clear if it was getting as hot and heavy for other partygoers ... but among the mix of guests was Anderson .Paak, Dillon Francis, Karrueche Tran, Rob Gronkowski, Flavor Flav, Brianna LaPaglia, Tyreek Hill, Offset, Kayla Nicole, Paul Pierce, Saweetie, Gabrielle Union, Teyana Taylor, and many more.

News spreads fast in the Big Easy ... 'cause Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce grabbed dinner together Friday night -- and their way in was devoid of commotion ... but their exit was insane!

The super-high profile couple was spotted walking into a New Orleans uptown restaurant ... where a few people were clearly tipped off they would be there ... and they made sure to tell TS how much they loved her.

Sure hope that meal was relaxing ... 'cause the duo's exit was anything but ... as word clearly got out they were there -- and a huge hoard showed up, screaming and snapping pics as they left.

DJ Diesel -- aka Shaq -- was once again bringing the house down Friday night .... when he was scratching to a huge crowd for his annual Fun House party before the Super Bowl, which was packed with a who's who of celebs.

The NBA icon held his big bash at Mardi Gras World -- about a mile from Bourbon Street -- where he once again ruled the DJ booth with sick beats, bumping them for the crowd.

Make no mistake ... Shaq's pre-SB gala ain't just about tunes and dancing ... as it's true to the Fun House moniker, with carnival rides, games, tons of circus performers ... and, naturally, drinks!

Bill Maher went on a rant Friday night that started with watching football, but boy ... that turns out to be a metaphor for something way bigger!

This is one of the best editorials the "Real Time" host has delivered in a long time. B.M.'s pissed off at streamers who are carrying football games. It's true ... now, instead of simply hitting a button on the remote to go back and forth between games, now it's a giant pain in the ass. Plus, we still have to watch commercials, so exactly what's the advantage?

Bill says it's an example of what he calls R.I. -- Reverse Improvement. It's like when you go to a restaurant and leave your car with the valet. It used to be so easy, hand him the ticket, pay cash and get your whip.  Now ... well, you know.

Super Bowl LIX is almost here -- and while you could put money down on the point spread or over/under, wouldn't bettin' on boobs be so much more fun?!

With the Chiefs and the Eagles about to square off for the Lombardi Trophy, BetOnline revealed a whole gang of entertaining prop bets for prospective wagerers.

Peep some of the most interesting:

The best booty shakers in the world will be in New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend ... 'cause strip clubs are flying in dancers from across the United States and overseas to help entertain football fans!!

TMZ Sports hit up a bunch of adult entertainment spots in the area to get a breakdown of their Big Game preparations ... and outside of the expected exclusive VIP tables and luxurious suites, the Penthouse Club told us the talent taking the stage will be an All-Star lineup from cities like Tampa, Las Vegas and Miami.

The legendary Larry Flynt's Hustler Club has similar plans ... as they're also bringing in 200 dancers -- both stateside and international.

Brett Favre says he's down to donate his brain following his death so it can be used for CTE research ... though he tells TMZ Sports he's sure hopeful that's a decision he and his family won't have to make for a LONG time.

Favre infamously dealt with head injuries throughout his 20-year NFL career ... and when we asked him this week if he'd consider giving his cerebrum up to scientists following his passing so it can be studied, he said he wouldn't mind.

Of course, the 55-year-old Hall of Famer told us he'd prefer if that choice came far later than sooner.

Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of winning a fourth Lombardi Trophy in just eight years in the NFL ... and Warren Moon tells TMZ Sports if he can pull it off on Sunday, he would confidently say he dethroned Tom Brady as the G.O.A.T.

The legendary quarterback is down in New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl ... and he spoke all about the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's stellar run -- all before turning 30 years old.

"For a first seven-year starter for anybody in this league, how can you top this?" Moon said. "How can you top this?"

Cardi B is in full celebration mode ahead of the Super Bowl … turning up in style on the streets of New Orleans with a top-shelf booze brand!

Peep this vid of Cardi turning Bourbon Street into "Cardi Gras" Friday… linking up with Fat Tuesday, tossing back her vodka-infused Whipshots collab with the company, and lobbing 'em into the crowd so everyone could get a taste of the party.

Everyone in town got a front-row seat to the Cardi B show -- she was out and about, keeping the vibes high and making sure everyone is hyped for the weekend.

Hollywood is taking over New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX ... and the list of celebrities planning on attending the big game Sunday is pretty impressive ... there's actors, comedians, rappers, singers, influencers and more.

Our sources tell us Cardi B, Pete Davidson, Kevin Hart, Jake From State Farm, Russell Wilson and Ciara are expected to be at the Caesars Superdome to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kevin's a Philly guy, Russell plays in the NFL, Cardi's been in NOLA marketing her alcohol brand, State Farm has brand deals with Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce ... and we're told Pete's developed a good relationship with the head of security for the Eagles ... so lots of connections to the game for these celebs.

Taylor Swift is the person LOTS of celebs want to mingle with Sunday in her Super Bowl luxury suite ... but we know one person who is NOT invited -- Blake Lively.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Blake is not on Taylor's list of guests as she watches BF Travis Kelce take a run at 3 rings in a row.

We're told, despite what Blake thinks, their friendship is fractured after a text surfaced where Blake told Justin Baldoni she was Khaleesi (from 'GoT') and hubby Ryan Reynolds and Taylor were her "dragons."

Taylor has not seen Blake in a while ... she's been spending lots of time with Travis and hasn't been in New York recently, but we're told the distance is more than geographic.

TMZ broke the story ... Taylor was royally pissed off and, as a well-connected source close to Taylor told us, she was never her dragon. In fact, although Blake tried to make Justin believe Swift was siding with her over a script dispute, Taylor never had a dog in the fight.

As we reported, Blake had invited Taylor over to her penthouse and Swift had no idea there was a meeting going on between Blake and Justin. Taylor walked in as Justin was leaving, and all she did was tell him she was excited to see his movie.

To add insult to injury, we're told Taylor later learned Blake was name-dropping TS all over town.

The Big Game is in the Big Easy and Cardi B is teaming up with a famous booze brand to make history ... in the form of a 350-gallon daiquiri the world has never seen.

Fat Tuesday and Cardi B's Whipshots are getting the party started in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX with the world's biggest daiquiri ... a monstrosity of a cocktail that was six months in the making.

A marvel of engineering, the 350-gallon cocktail lives within a 22-foot tall container made from solid steel. The drink features a Fat Tuesday frozen mix and it's topped off with Whipshots, Cardi's vodka-infused whipped cream.

Jeff Beacher -- the showman behind the famed Beacher's Madhouse -- is the guy pulling all the strings here ... we're told he invested over $250,000 to pull this off, with six months of engineering needed to bring this idea to life.

The massive drink was poured Friday morning at Beacher's Madhouse ... but it's too big for revelers to consume. Instead, it's serving as a prop for photo ops.

Fat Tuesday will be serving smaller versions of the world's largest daiquiri all night at its pre-Super Bowl party ... 18-oz yards filled with strawberry margarita made from Don Julio 1942 tequila.

The drinks are called the Royal Rita, in honor of Cardi.

Gillie Da Kid is pumped up for Super Bowl Sunday and is super confident his Philly Eagles are taking home the crown!!!

The Million Dollarz Worth of Game podcast host joined "TMZ Live" Friday and explained the origins of the Eagles' dual fight songs ... Gillie serves pregame smack talk with funk band Cameo's classic track "Candy" (y'know, because the other teams are "sweet") -- and celebrates victory by blasting Too Short's smash "Blow The Whistle."

Gillie says the West Coast anthem hasn't gotten old yet ... 14 wins and counting for the Eagles this season!!!

Louisiana authorities have made an arrest in connection with the death of Telemundo reporter Adan Manzano ... whose body was found in his hotel room after he went to New Orleans to cover Super Bowl LIX.

Danette Colbert was arrested Friday after allegedly using Manzano's credit cards at several stores in the area following his death ... according to the Kenner Police Department. Colbert has reportedly been charged with fraud and theft-related offenses, as the investigation continues.

Police say security video from the hotel where Manzano was staying shows Colbert with the journalist Wednesday morning ... and later leaving his hotel room solo. He was later found dead in the room.

Turns out Jon Jones' next bout isn't against Alex Pereira OR Tom Aspinall ... the UFC heavyweight champ is picking a fight against a far more powerful entity -- the American healthcare system!

TMZ Sports has an early look at a Super Bowl commercial starring Bones -- slated to run during Sunday's Chiefs vs. Eagles game -- where he takes aim at the industry.

"Thanks for joining me today. This next fight for me is a personal one, but it's not just for me. It's for every American who's ever been bullied, robbed, or deceived. It's arguably the most important fight of my career. My next opponent will be the American healthcare system," Jones says in the commercial.
