Latin superstar Bad Bunny has been confirmed as the halftime entertainment for February’s Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California. The news was revealed during Sunday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. The announcement comes as the Grammy-winning Puerto Rican rapper, 31, admitted he avoided touring the U.S. after ongoing ICE raids. In an interview with i-D magazine earlier this month, the rapper admitted that the move was due to his concern about the mass deportation of Latinos. “Man, honestly, yes,” he stated. “There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate–I’ve performed there many times. All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent.” The February 8 Super Bowl show will take place between Bad Bunny’s tour dates in Santiago and Buenos Aires. Last year’s Super Bowl performer was rapper Kendrick Lamar, who was joined by guests including SZA and Serena Williams. Bad Bunny previously performed as part of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s Super Bowl set in 2020. The new announcement shuts down persistent rumors from Taylor Swift fans that the pop superstar would get the nod in 2026.
A 27-year-old circus acrobat died on Saturday evening after falling 16 foot from a trapeze swing. Spanish acrobat Marina Barcelona was performing a solo trapeze act with the Paul Busch Circus in Bautzen, Germany, when she suddenly fell. Almost 100 people of all ages were in attendance at the show, and received support when emergency services found that Barcelona had died of her injuries on impact. Local police described that the professional was not wearing a safety rope, with spokesman Stefan Heiduck explaining, “She doesn’t have to. She decides for herself whether to use safety rope.” Meanwhile, the head of Germany‘s circus association theorized that Barcelona may have encountered a health issue. Ralf Huppertz said, “It’s unusual for a well-trained artist like Marina to not survive a fall from just five meters. Perhaps she got dizzy on the trapeze.” Barcelona had been in circus arts for over a decade and joined Paul Busch for the upcoming season—but the troupe announced that its next slate of shows are canceled due to the bereavement.

Music icon Dolly Parton has rescheduled a string of Vegas shows after revealing she is due to have surgery for unspecified “health challenges.” The 79-year-old revealed on Instagram that she has postponed six shows due to take place in December, with the dates now scheduled for 10 months later in September 2026. Parton kept her signature sense of humor when sharing the news with fans. “As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” she posted on Sunday. “As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” The legendary singer said that due to the looming medical procedures, “I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show you deserve to see.” Parton revealed in September that she was suffering from a kidney stone infection that was causing her “a lot of problems.” The musician’s husband, Carl Dean, died in March at the age of 82. The pair were married for 58 years. Parton did reassure fans she has no plans to retire, with her 80th birthday looming in January. “Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she posted. “But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”

The PGA of America has confirmed that Heather McMahan will not be returning to her role as master of ceremonies at the Ryder Cup. The actress and comedian was heard leading chants of “f–k you Rory” against professional golfer Rory McIlroy earlier this weekend. “Heather McMahan has extended an apology to Rory McIlroy and Ryder Cup Europe and has stepped down from hosting the first tee of the Ryder Cup,” the group said in a statement. The chants are understood to have first started on Saturday morning. McIlroy told fans to “shut the f–k up” after being heckled while trying to tee up a shot. “I don’t mind them having a go at us,” the Northern Irish professional golfer told reporters later in the day. “Like, that’s to be expected. I mean, that’s what an away Ryder Cup is. Whenever they are still doing it while you are over the ball and trying to hit your shot, that’s the tough thing.”
An American man held in Afghanistan since December 2024 is coming home, according to an announcement from U.S. State Department. Amir Amiry, 36, had been detained by the Taliban since December of 2024. He was photographed returning to the U.S. alongside counterterrorism director Sebastian Gorka, US hostage negotiator Adam Boehler, and a Qatari diplomat on Sunday. Negotiations for Amiry’s release lasted months. Secretary of State Marco Rubio thanked Qatar in a statement, saying “We express our sincere gratitude to Qatar, whose strong partnership and tireless diplomatic efforts were vital to securing his release.” He also stated that the return of Americans wrongly detained abroad remains one of President Trump’s priorities. Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi also thanked Qatar for its role in negotiating Amiry’s release. Muttaqi said the Taliban “do not view foreign nationals from a political perspective,” and thus engaged in diplomatic relations to negotiate Amiry’s release. While it’s unclear what, if anything, the U.S. promised in exchange for Amiry’s release, the Taliban and U.S. have exchanged prisoners in the past.

Pop star, actor, and entrepreneur Selena Gomez, 33, has tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco, 37. The pair were married on Saturday in an intimate ceremony at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California. Sharing images of the ceremony on Instagram, Gomez simply captioned the pics “🤍 9.27.25 🤍.” The star-studded affair was attended by high-profile friends and family, including Gomez’s longtime BFF Taylor Swift and her Only Murders in the Building co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short. Gomez wore a custom Ralph Lauren white gown with a floral halter neck while Blanco wore a Ralph Lauren suit. The pair began dating in 2023, nearly a decade after having first crossed paths when Blanco produced a number of tracks on Gomez’s 2015 album Revival. The pair have been public about their affection, with Blanco revealing in a joint interview earlier this year that he knew “this is my wife” from the moment he met her: “I was telling my mom, ‘This is the girl I’m going to marry.’” Gomez has been similarly openly besotted, telling Vanity Fair in 2024: “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life.”
Former child beauty pageant contestant Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is recovering following a car accident. The 20-year-old nursing student was pulling out of her driveway in Denver, Colorado, on Friday when she was “T-boned” by an allegedly inattentive driver. Her mother, “Mama” June Stroud, shared the news in an Instagram post in which she said that Thompson was “banged up” in the incident. “Somebody actually wasn’t paying attention and T-boned her on her road,” Stroud said. “She is banged up a little bit, but other than that, she is OK,” Stroud added in the caption to her video. Thompson is currently living in Denver and attending Regis University, where she is studying neonatal care. Thompson rose to fame at the age of 6 when she captivated audiences during an appearance on the reality TV show Toddlers & Tiaras. Her precocious personality landed her a spinoff, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which ran for four seasons between 2012 and 2017. Stroud, who continues to appear alongside her daughter in her own reality show, Mama June: Family Crisis, noted that this was Thompson’s “first car wreck.”
