My run-in with Bad Bunny settles the debate about his Super Bowl halftime show and the diehard MAGA fans who love to hate him: KENNEDY

Latino dreamboat Bad Bunny is headlining the Super Bowl LX’s halftime show… and MAGA is acting like he’s a DEI hire.

Culture warrior Robby Starbuck is seemingly ready to die on this hill, posting his fury at the NFL which has apparently ‘decided to make the Super Bowl political.’

Unnecessary freak-out! 10-yard penalty and ejected from X.

Not every musician with a hot take is an Antifa general sent to destroy America with ‘woke propaganda.’

Do we really have to kickstart the outrage machine every friggin’ time we’re about to have a little fun? I thought the right wasn’t into cancellations.

Don’t tell that to Trump-loving stalwart Benny Johnson. He’s all fired up because Bad Bunny sings ‘no songs in English.’

I will tell you this, Benny: his voice is so sexy, I can’t understand a word he’s singing but I know exactly what he’s saying.

There’s one obvious reason Bad Bunny got the gig – he’s supremely talented. A couple of my friends recently flew to Puerto Rico to catch one of his shows and said he was such a powerful showman that they were ‘ugly crying.’ (I haven’t ugly cried at the Super Bowl since Chris Stapleton performed the national anthem in 2023 and he’s a lib!)

Bunny boy also has a massive international fan base – and the NFL is desperate to spread the Gospel of the Pigskin to every corner of the globe. If you haven’t noticed – they love money, too.

Look, I get it, Bad Bunny has some bad takes. Mr Bunny (né Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) has said some incendiary things – like refusing to play in the United States for fears that ‘f*****g ICE could be outside’ the venues. (Funny how that moralizing melted away when he was offered the biggest gig in music).

I’m also aware that the past few Super Bowl halftime shows have been underwhelming, oddly sexual and just plain weird (yes, I’m talking to you Kendrick, Rihanna and Usher).

But I know a genuine star when I see one.

I stumbled upon Bad Bunny getting out of an SUV at 30 Rock in New York before his appearance on Jimmy Fallon earlier this year. The guy was sweet and humble and embraced his fans with a rare earnestness. I remember, just from that brief moment, that he’s a nice guy with a good heart.

A little juice from this hunky island squeeze can only be a win, right?

If I refused to listen to any music written by someone who doesn’t share my politics, I’d be running on the treadmill in silence.

Prince arguably had the very best Super Bowl performance in history – tickling his guitar to a beautifully filthy rendition of ‘Purple Rain’ during an actual deluge. Do you think he was a big tariff guy? I’m guessing no.

I’m also certain that I don’t care what his or any singer’s politics are as long as they can deliver a performance that cuts through the processed meat chunks in my 7-layer baloney casserole and slices right into my soul.

To the loud and proud MAGA faithful, vigilantly standing guard to fight every cultural battle, I kindly ask: Can’t you fellas just sit this one out for once?

What could be more unifying that watching White House Border Czar Tom Homan sucking down Pabst Blue Ribbons and dancing the salsa with his wife to ‘Tití Me Preguntó.’

There are battles to be fought against formative foes who truly wish us ill, but this ginned-up pitchforking of Bad Bunny is not one of those skirmishes.

Give the guy the benefit of the doubt and let him sing and dance and take off his pants, but keep your shirts on! And who knows, if Bad Bunny sucks eggs maybe next year Roger Goodell will change course and have Morgan Wallen and Kid Rock co-headline. And we’ll all watch the liberal freak-out together – and laugh.

Selena Gomez and Hairy Bob Dylan got married this weekend in front of a slew of celebs from Ed Sheeran to Taylor Swift, but the hirsute groom couldn’t even bring himself to shave for the big day.

It got me thinking… when you start out as the Wolfman on your honeymoon, what do you turn into during a full moon – Vin Diesel?

Everyone hates Kamala!

Kamala Harris’s admission in her book that she didn’t pick Mayor Pete Buttigieg to be her veep because he was gay sent Jon Stewart into apoplexy.

‘Oh my God, it’s actually reverse affirmative action,’ Stewart vented on his Weekly Show podcast.

He’s right. If only Joe Biden had done the same in 2020, his discriminating taste would’ve saved us all a lot of grief.

Jenny from the Block is opening up about her divorce from miserable shlub Ben Affleck, telling CBS News Sunday Morning the humiliating split was ‘the best thing that ever happened to me.’

Divorce isn’t usually one of life’s romps, but since this is Lola’s fourth marital fissure maybe she has finally realized that matrimony doesn’t agree with her.

Daisy duke-less

We haven’t seen the likes of Disappearing Jessica Simpson since 90s heroin chic. Except this time around, gals are using a different kind of needle.

Now, 45-year-old Jessica’s deflated dukes are pimping a new lingerie line for Walmart that she’s calling ‘one of my best kept secrets.’

Honey, that’s not your only secret.

Speaking of stick thin, Ariana Grande has been pointing a bony finger at Trump supporters.

‘I have one very genuine question… has your life gotten better?’ she posted on Instagram. ‘Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down? Has your work/life balance improved? Has you taken a vacation yet? Are you happier?’

Um, bro… that’s six questions.

Eat a sandwich and stay in your lane.

What a witch

Have you watched the Harry Potter movie where Hermione is reduced to a steaming pile of goo?

Oh, wait! That was real life. JK Rowling is finally fed up with Emma Watson’s obnoxious transgender radicalism and she let her have it.

‘I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous,’ wrote Rowling. ‘I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women’s rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.’

The pen is truly mightier than the Sword of Gryffindor.

Who wore it breast?

From great jeans to great jugs, Sydney Sweeney got into a serious boob-off at her birthday party when Lauren Sanchez aired out her massive fun bags at the intergalactic-themed fiesta in her mini metallic dress.

Unfortunately for the star-spangled birthday girl, she looked flat-out flat chested standing next to the bombshell Bezos.
