#RHONY: Veterans Jill Zarin Slam Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, Stirring Backlash Ahead of New E! Series
The Real Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin posted an Instagram video slamming Bad Bunny’s performance, but later deleted it. Several Bravo Instagram accounts captured the video before she removed it, in which she called it “the worst halftime show ever” and added that she didn’t think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish. “To me, it looked like a political statement,” Zarin said.
Zarin also claimed Lady Gaga was unrecognizable because she had gotten “a facelift, I didn’t recognize her, I literally had to Google her face to see who it was because we all couldn’t agree who it was,” Zarin remarked. “That was kind of fun in the middle of halftime, at least it gave us something to do because it was so hard to watch.”
Taylor Armstrong, a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member, also wasn’t a fan of the halftime show. She posted an image of herself in a gladiator costume alongside her viral cat meme to her Instagram story: “Were you entertained? I am embarrassed for the NFL and Apple for the Super Bowl halftime show totally in Spanish with a Cuban flag!!”
Zarin’s remarks come days after E! announcedThe Golden Life RHONY reunion show. Set in Palm Beach this time, the series follows RHONY alums Zarin, Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon, and Sonja Morgan as they navigate their “golden” era in Florida. Many fans expressed excitement when the series was initially announced, but after Zarin’s comments, some fans say they’re having a change of heart.
Several people commented across a number of Bravo accounts about Zarin’s video, expressing disappointment, sharing that they are now no longer interested in watching the new series. Quite a few people noted that Zarin ultimately deleted the video after fighting with commenters in the post.
Meanwhile, other Real Housewives celebrated Bad Bunny’s performance. Lisa Rinna from RHOBH busted out one of her famous dance videos to a Bad Bunny song, captioning the post: “I don’t sit still. Especially Not To Bad Bunny. #superbowl #badbunny “The only thing more powerful than hate, is LOVE.” Vanderpump Rules‘ Ariana Madix was at the game and reflected on Bad Bunny’s performance, writing, “Still crying, have not recovered, so beyond grateful to have seen this magical and historic performance in person. Happy Bad Bunny Day.”
#MusicNews: Watch it: Miguel: Tiny Desk Concert
So much has happened in Miguel's world since we last saw him at NPR headquarters. Back in 2012, he was one of the very few R&B acts — including Raphael Saadiq, Bettye LaVette and Booker T. Jones — to play a Tiny Desk concert. And, much like the trajectory of this series, Miguel's music has taken some explosive twists and turns.
After performing "Sure Thing," his first song back at the Desk, Miguel says, "That one's come a long way." He reflects on that time in his life and what he's been able to do with it: "There's something about being able to wake up and do this every day, and then to come and perform it — to see the lyrics actually become a part of people's time and memories and space in this experience. I have to say I'm tremendously grateful." Miguel's clearly been on a journey of self-discovery, which we see in a medley of his hits backed by a flawless string section. And on the Spanish-sung "CAOS," he revisits his Mexican roots.
Between his 2017 album War & Leisure and last year's CAOS, the Los Angeles singer-songwriter has been relatively quiet. "I was putting my value in the wrong places, and it made it really hard to do this consistently," he says before the last song. "But, motherf*****, we back!"

#HipHopNews: THE ICONS OF HIPHOP Public Enemy Flips “He Got Game” Through Women-1st Lens: “She Got Game”
As per Billboard, Public Enemy has flipped their 1998 classic “He Got Game” into a newly reimagined track titled “She Got Game.” The update reframes the original Spike Lee–inspired record through a women-first lens, transforming it into a celebration of confidence, leadership, and resilience. The song features a lineup of women across music, sports, and culture, including LSU basketball star and rising rapper Flau’jae, Retina MC, and activist-artist Nikki Giovanni, among others.
Flavor Flav explained that the idea behind the record was about shifting the narrative and spotlighting voices that continue to move culture forward. Flavor Flav shared that “She Got Game” is meant to recognize the strength, intelligence, and influence women bring to every space they occupy, noting that the track reflects the same urgency and purpose that defined Public Enemy’s original run — just viewed through a present-day lens.
The song came together organically, driven by the group’s desire to revisit their catalog with intention rather than nostalgia. By reworking “He Got Game,” Public Enemy connects eras while making it clear that empowerment isn’t a trend — it’s a throughline. The updated version keeps the spirit of the original intact while expanding its scope, allowing a new generation to hear the message loud and clear.
Proceeds from the song will benefit the Women’s Sports Foundation and the Black Music Action Coalition’s Female Fund. You can listen to “She Got Game”
Teyana Taylor to Make Feature Film Directorial Debut with ‘Get Lite’
*Paramount Pictures will bring Teyana Taylor’s first feature-length directing project to theaters in spring 2027. “Get Lite” is set to arrive next year nationwide April 9, 2027.
As Variety reports, the story follows a skillful but sheltered dance student whose life transforms after encountering unexpected sources of inspiration, romance and belonging within New York City’s subway stations. Storm Reid takes the leading role while also producing through A Seed & Wings Productions with Robyn Simpson.
Kenya Barris and Anni Weisband will produce via Khalabo Ink Society, joined by Bill Karesh from Offbrnd. Taylor assumes an executive producer role for the production.
This announcement comes as Taylor experiences remarkable career momentum following her acclaimed turn in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another.” She claimed the Golden Globe for best supporting actress and earned nominations from SAG-AFTRA’s Actor Awards, BAFTA and the Academy Awards.
Taylor received the Creative Impact in Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards brunch on January 4, celebrating her performance as Perfidia Beverly Hills. The character, a resistance fighter who left her newborn daughter behind only to reemerge sixteen years later amid conspiratorial events, resonated deeply with audiences.
When asked about potential follow-up projects exploring Perfidia’s journey, Taylor showed clear interest in continuing the storyline through sequels, spinoffs or expanded narratives alongside co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn.
“He could have pulled a ‘Wicked!'” she said of Anderson, adding, “You could literally merge the other pieces, get a few new scenes with me — and then drop it, drop it like a mixtape!”
Md. Gov. Moore and Gov Jared Polis was uninvited from White House bipartisan dinner: 'Blatant disrespect' ors, as well.
"This week, I learned that I was uninvited to this year’s National Governors Association dinner — a decades-long annual tradition meant to bring governors from both parties together to build bonds and celebrate a shared service to our citizens with the President of the United States," Moore said in a statement on Sunday.
"My peers, both Democrats and Republicans, selected me to serve as the Vice Chair of the NGA, another reason why it’s hard not to see this decision as another example of blatant disrespect and a snub to the spirit of bipartisan federal-state partnership," Moore said.
"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not," he added.
A break from tradition Traditionally, the US president hosts governors from all 50 states at the White House every year for a winter conference where the lawmakers discuss possible bipartisan solutions to national issues such as education and disaster preparedness. This year, the meeting will take place from Feb. 19 to 21.
The meeting typically includes a White House event, such as a black-tie dinner—that's what Moore, as well as Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, also a Democrat, have specifically been excluded from.
"To disinvite individual governors to the White House sessions undermines an important opportunity for federal-state collaboration." – Acting Executive Director and CEO of the National Governors Association Brandon Tatum
On Friday, however, President Donald Trump announced that the entire National Governors Association weekend will only include Republican governors this year.
In response, Acting Executive Director and CEO of the National Governors Association Brandon Tatum told POLITICO that the group was "disappointed in the administration’s decision to make it a partisan occasion this year."
"To disinvite individual governors to the White House sessions undermines an important opportunity for federal-state collaboration," Tatum said. "At this moment in our nation’s history, it is critical that institutions continue to stand for unity, dignity and constructive engagement.
"Traditionally, the White House has played a role in fostering these moments during NGA’s annual meeting," he added. "This year, they will not."
Additionally, the NGA said Friday that the group's leadership will not recognize this year's meeting as an official NGA event.
"No NGA resources will be used to support transportation for this activity," according to an email that was obtained by POLITICO.
Falcons’ James Pearce Jr. Accused Of Hitting Cop w/ Car During Domestic Dispute Involving His Ex, WNBA Player Rickea Jackson
More has come out about James Pearce Jr.’s recent arrest. The Atlanta Falcons linebacker allegedly struck a police officer with his Lamborghini while trying to escape law enforcement after a heated encounter with his ex, #WNBA star Rickea Jackson, according to police documents reviewed by TMZ. Officers say Pearce’s actions came during the dramatic aftermath of an alleged domestic dispute. Jackson told police she had recently ended their three?year relationship and blocked Pearce’s number, but he continued contacting her.
According to the report, Jackson noticed Pearce’s SUV behind her as she was leaving an apartment complex, and he allegedly chased her, at one point “intentionally collided into the rear of her vehicle,” police wrote, before cutting her off and crashing head?on with her car near the Doral City Police Department.
When officers arrived and tried to detain Pearce, they say he ignored commands, locked his doors, and then struck an officer “in the area of his left knee intentionally in an attempt to evade arrest.”After a brief pursuit, Pearce crashed his car, fled on foot, and was ultimately taken into custody on multiple charges.
As reported, Pearce was booked on several charges, including two counts of aggravated battery with a de@dly weapon, aggravated stalking, and fleeing or eluding police. During his first court appearance from his #Miami jail cell, bond was set at $20,500, and a stay?away order was issued requiring him to keep his distance from Jackson.
50 Cent Jokes About Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ Rumored Breakup: ‘Lost This B*tch and the Super Bowl'
The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper didn’t waste much time giving his take on the situation on Instagram.
“Can you imagine waking up this morning and you done lost this b!tch and the Super Bowl,” Fifty wrote on Monday (Feb. 9). “I would tell everybody get away from me, have a drink and go back to sleep. LOL”
A source confirmed to Entertainment Tonight on Monday that Cardi and Diggs ended their relationship “recently.” The source also mentioned that not all hope for a reconciliation isn’t lost.
“It's possible they get back together and this could just be for right now," the source said. “She is focused on her upcoming [Little Miss Drama Tour] and family while figuring out their next steps.”
Rumors that the two were romantically linked began circulating in October 2024 and spent Valentine’s Day together in 2025. They became Instagram official that June.
In a September 2025 interview with Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY With Jenna & Friends, Cardi said the two were set up by “mutual friends.”
"I thought he was cute," Cardi said at the time. "I was like, 'Oh, he's gotta be mine.'"
When did Cardi B and Stefon Diggs welcome their child together?
Just days before the release of her sophomore album Am I the Drama?, Cardi confirmed to Gayle King on CBS Mornings that she was pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Diggs.
“I'm having a baby with my boyfriend Stefon Diggs,” she told King. “I'm excited, I'm happy. I feel like I'm in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I'm doing all this work, but I'm doing all this work while I'm creating a baby."
The couple welcomed the child, a baby boy the couple affectionately nicknamed Baby Touchdown, on November 4, 2025.
When Cardi shared the first photos of Baby Touchdown to Instagram, some hawk-eyed fans spotted what appeared to be an engagement ring on her ring finger. A source confirmed to TMZ that this was not the case.
Diggs hinted that getting Cardi an engagement ring was “on the agenda” while speaking at a press conference last week.
“I gotta get mine first, though,” he quipped.
#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Melania’ falls steeply and ‘Send Help’ holds steady at No. 1 on Super Bowl weekend
Hollywood largely ceded attention to football over a slow box-office weekend, with the survival thriller “Send Help” repeating as No. 1 in ticket sales and the Melania Trump documentary “Melania” falling sharply in its second weekend.
Super Bowl weekend is typically one of the lowest attended moviegoing times of the year. It was the second slowest weekend last year and in 2024 it ranked dead last for moviegoing.
Studios instead put their focus on advertising movies for the massive television audience. Among the trailers expected to hit the NFL broadcast Sunday were The Walt Disney Co.'s “Mandalorian and Grogu,” Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael” and Universal Pictures’ “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.”
In North American theaters, the Disney.-20th Century Studios release “Send Help,” directed by Sam Raimi, lead all films with $10 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. With $53.7 million globally thus far, the R-rated survival thriller has proved a solid midbudget success. Disney meanwhile watched its remarkably long-lasting “Zootopia 2" cross $1.8 billion worldwide in its 11th week of release.
“Melania,” from Amazon MGM, added 300 theaters in its second weekend but dropped steeply with to $2.4 million in ticket sales, down 67% from its much-discussed debut. The rapid downturn means the Brett Ratner-directed documentary is likely heading toward flop territory given its high price tag. Amazon MGM paid $40 million for film rights, plus some $35 million to market it.
The North American total for “Melania” stands at $13.4 million. Amazon MGM has not released international figures, though they’re expected to be paltry.
Kevin Wilson, head of domestic distribution for the studio, said the movie’s box-office performance “is a critical first moment that validates our wholistic distribution strategy, building awareness, engagement, and provides momentum ahead of the film’s eventual debut on Prime Video.”
The film’s ticket sales — which would be very good for a less expensive documentary — were a talking point throughout the week. Late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel hammered the movie’s sales. Kimmel called them a “rigged outcome.” Elsewhere in theaters, the Italy-set Kevin James romantic comedy “Solo Mio” debuted with a robust $7.2 million, a major win for Angel Studios, best known for its faith-based releases. “Stray Kids: The Dominate Experience,” a K-pop concert film released by Bleecker Street, launched with $5.6 million, and an additional $13.2 million overseas. The Luc Besson-directed Bram Stoker adaptation “Dracula” opened with $4.5 million, a studio-best debut for the indie distributor Vertical.
One of the most unusual releases in theaters, however, remains the low-budget indie “Iron Lung.” The YouTube filmmaker Markiplier, whose real name is Mark Fischbach, self-financed and self-distributed the R-rated video game adaptation, along with writing, directing and starring in it. In its second weekend, “Iron Lung” collected $6.2 million, bringing its two-week total to $31.2 million. It cost $3 million to make.
Top 10 movies by domestic box office
With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore:
1. “Send Help,” $10 million.
2. “Solo Mio,” $7.2 million.
3. “Iron Lung,” $6 million.
4. “Stray Kids: The Dominate Experience,” $5.6 million.
5. “Dracula,” $4.5 million.
6. “Zootopia 2,” $4 million.
7. “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” $3.5 million.
8. “The Strangers: Chapter 3,” $3.5 million.
9. “Shelter,” $2.4 million.
10. “Melania,” $2.4 million.
Lil Nas X Wears a Cowboy Hat & Boots to Shop for a Refrigerator in LA
Lil Nas X is shopping for a fridge! The 26-year-old “Light Again!” singer was at an appliance store to get a refrigerator on Friday (February 6) in Los Angeles.
He wore a Western-themed outfit to his shopping excursion, including a white cowboy hat, an American flag graphic T-shirt, black shorts, and some cowboy boots.
Lil Nas X was seen loading up a fridge into the back of a car with the assistance of someone who was likely a store employee.
In November, Rolling Stone reported that the rapper was doing well since being released from an inpatient treatment center, where he went several months after being arrested on assault charges.
“As you can see, Montero is doing amazing, doing great and we’re super happy for him,” his attorney told reporters after his hearing. “We’re looking forward to a positive resolution in this case, which we’re very confident of.”
He will appear in court on March 12.

Doechii Adds 'Lesbian' to the Bio of Her New Instagram Account
Doechii appears to have created a new Instagram account to accompany her official one and it has “lesbian” featured in her bio.
The 27-year-old rapper wrote in one of the two posts currently available that she wants a space to “express Jaylah the human outside of Doechii the artist.” Her real name is Jaylah Hickmon.

The “Anxiety” singer, who just won a Grammy for Best Music Video for the viral song, hasn’t confirmed anything publicly beyond the bio change, but her fans are already showing tons of support for her online.

Tracy Scroggins Dead - Retired Detroit Lions Player Passes Away at Age 56
Retired pro football player Tracy Scroggins has sadly passed away.
On Monday (February 9), it was announced that the NFL star, who spent all 10 seasons of his career playing for the Detroit Lions, had died at the age of 56.
Tracy‘s family revealed his passing in a touching tribute.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Tracy Scroggins,” the Scroggins family shared in a statement with TMZ.
“Tracy was a devoted father, cherished family member, and loyal friend whose life was marked by remarkable strength and perseverance,” his family continued. “While many knew him for his career as a professional football player in the NFL, those closest to him knew him as a kind-hearted and generous man who cared deeply for his family and friends.”
The statement concluded, “Playing in the NFL gave Tracy the opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream and to rise from poverty. However, unfortunately, the NFL was also ultimately the cause of his untimely demise. Tracy spent every moment of retirement courageously battling the devastating effects of CTE. While our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that he is finally at peace.”
Funeral services for Tracy will be held in his hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma on February 27.
Tracy, a linebacker and defensive end, was drafted to the Lions in 1992 and played with the team until he retired from football in 2001.
In 2016, he filed a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), which is “a brain disease likely caused by repeated head injuries. It causes the death of nerve cells in the brain, known as degeneration,” per the Mayo Clinic.
Our thoughts are with Tracy Scroggins‘ loved ones during this difficult time. RIP.

Arizona Judge Strikes Down Abortion Restrictions, Including Telehealth Ban
An Arizona judge has blocked several abortion restrictions, clearing the way for broader access to care across the state.
On Friday, Gregory Como, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge, struck down three Arizona laws that limited abortion access, including a ban on telemedicine abortions. The court ruled that the restrictions conflicted with a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2024 that protects abortion rights.
Como said the laws violated Arizonans’ “fundamental right to abortion under Arizona law” and did not show any meaningful benefit to patient health, according to Reuters.
“Each of these laws infringe on a woman’s ‘autonomous decision making’ by mandating medical procedures and disclosure of information regardless of the patient’s needs and wishes,” Como wrote in his ruling.
The blocked provisions included rules requiring patients to give a reason for seeking an abortion, mandating an ultrasound at least 24 hours in advance, forcing multiple in-person clinic visits for counseling and care, and banning abortion pills from being mailed to patients.
Republican leaders Steve Montenegro and Warren Petersen defended the restrictions, arguing they were health and safety measures. Petersen’s office told The Associated Press that the decision would be appealed.
The lawsuit was filed by two Arizona OB-GYN doctors and the Arizona Medical Association, along with the American Civil Liberties Union and its Arizona affiliate.
“These medically unnecessary restrictions have long made it harder, if not impossible, for Arizonans to get abortion care in the state,” the ACLU said.
Kimya Forouzan of the Guttmacher Institute called the ruling a “major win for Arizona abortion seekers,” adding that it would reduce delays and expand options, including telehealth.
On Friday, Gregory Como, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge, struck down three Arizona laws that limited abortion access, including a ban on telemedicine abortions. The court ruled that the restrictions conflicted with a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2024 that protects abortion rights.
