At the 2024 Super Bowl, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Usher soaked up the limelight as the Kansas City Chiefs became back-to-back champions with their overtime defeat of the San Francisco 49ers.
And of course, the Super Bowl was again a venue for dozens of advertisers — who spent up to $7 million for a 30-second spot in CBS’s telecast — to try to break through on the noisiest night on TV. Many marketers used the time-tested tactic of deploying star-studded commercials, a phenomenon described by one ad exec as “a celebrity arms race.”
As tracked by YouTube, the No. 1 most-watched spot on Super Bowl Sunday was Tina Fey’s turn for Booking.com, in which the “Saturday Night Live” alum hires “body doubles” to imagine different versions of herself on vacation. The ad featured cameos by her “30 Rock” costars Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer, as well as Glenn Close, who impersonated Fey in...

Two shirtless football fans were taken away in handcuffs after running onto the field during Super Bowl Lviii in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The two men, who appeared shirtless with illegible writing displayed on their torsos and backs, sprinted onto the football field at Allegiant Stadium with approximately five minutes remaining in the third quarter. The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are currently facing off for the ultimate prize, the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Several security officials quickly ran onto the field, tackling both individuals to the ground before walking them out of the stadium.
The two men were later captured on video in the back, being escorted by a handful of police officers in handcuffs. The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for more information, and to find out if the two men are facing any charges.

Taylor Swift is expected to attend the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas on February 11 to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
Swift is preparing for the second international leg of her Eras Tour and is scheduled to perform four shows in Tokyo between February 7 and February 10, just one day before the Super Bowl.
The singer is reportedly planning to fly out of Japan after the final show. The 17-hour time difference makes Swift’s seemingly impossible travel intentions more plausible.
Swift’s anticipated appearance at the Super Bowl will mark the 13th game she has attended to cheer on Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
After Sunday’s upset win against the Baltimore Ravens, Swift kissed Kelce on the field and could be heard saying “I’m so proud of you” to him.
During one game, announcer Tony Romo accidentally called Swift Kelce’s “wife.”

Taylor Swift has shattered virtually every major record in the music industry, and as she lives her best life supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she’s also breaking the brains of right-wingers.
For months now, the digital fever swamps have been fuming over everything and anything Swift-related. Her popularity, the success of the Eras Tour, her relationship, her appearances at NFL games, and especially her politics. The Chiefs won the AFC championship on Sunday, punching the team’s (and potentially Swift’s) ticket to the Super Bowl in February.

Taylor Swift is no Yoko Ono, claims a prominent ESPN sportscaster.
Reacting to the chatter that has arrived as the Kansas City Chiefs are no longer dominating opponents, angry fans are pointing to Swift’s appearances at the Chiefs games as the cause of the team’s swoon.
Swift is, of course, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, and her presence is allegedly causing the team to lose focus, even though she’s watching in a box far above the field of play.
Skip Bayless, one of the more provocative Fox Sports sports personalities, led the mob against Swift as Kansas City fell to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day, 20-14. The Chiefs have lost three out of their last four contests to now hold a 9–6 record, and the team’s frustration is building. Kelce added to the perception of being distracted when he threw his helmet on the sidelines during the game.

Professional hot take performance-artist Skip Bayless, who for years has been going after LeBron James, has set his sights on a new ratings booster: Taylor Swift.
Yesterday, as the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were being beaten by the lowly Las Vegas Raiders, the Fox Sports talking head found time to tweet about the important stuff.
“Feels like it’s about time to call Taylor Swift a distraction. What do you think, Patrick? Andy? How about you, Travis?” Bayless wrote on Twitter, name-checking Chiefs’ Qb Patrick Mahomes, coach Andy-Reid and tight end Travis Kelce, who also happens to be Swift’s boyfriend.

Taylor Swift has once again made an impact with her presence at an NFL game, and this time caught the attention of CBS viewers at the Kansas City Chiefs versus Buffalo Bills matchup on Sunday.
In the broadcast, CBS announcer Tony Romo mistakenly labeled Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce‘s relationship with Swift and sent her fans into a frenzy.
As the Chiefs faced a third-and-long, quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed a 23-yard pass to Kelce, which resulted in the first down. Romo and play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz expressed their amazement at the play.
“That’s amazing,” Romo exclaimed as the cameras showed Swift in the audience. “This is intercepted by most people, as you see Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience – er, I’m sorry.”
“Not yet,” Nantz jokingly responded.
Romo continued to praise Kelce and Mahomes for their ability to find the defense’s weaknesses, which prompted...

Dak Prescott was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, he was intended to serve as the backup to Tony Romo who was the team’s starting quarterback at the time. But when Romo went down with an injury in the preseason, Prescott became the starter. He drew praise for his presence on the field as well as his accuracy and led the Cowboys to the top seed in the NFC. He’s been playing under center for America’s team ever since.
But despite all the attention he gets for being the signal caller in Big D, Prescott has managed for the most part to keep his love life quiet. But in November 2023, he decided to share the happy news that he and his girlfriend were expecting their first child together. Here’s more about Sarah Jane Ramos and...

CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus expects to step down from his post in April of 2024, and will be replaced by David Berson, the president of the unit. McManus will wind up a tenure that had him overseeing some of the most prized sports properties in TV, as well as CBS News for a brief period.
“This is the best time to make the transition,” says McManus in an interview, noting that Berson has been in his role as president for about a decade and that CBS Sports’ rights portfolio is locked in for another ten years. “I think everyone feels really good about it and everyone feels really good about David taking it over.” McManus will get to preside over a unique Super Bowl experience — the company plans to have Nickelodeon offer a kids’ version of the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl Lviii — and one more Masters before stepping down permanently.

The Dallas Cowboys have been known as "America's Team" since the late 1960s. After all, no other football team was able to win three Super Bowls in four years before. They have had 20+ winning seasons in the 1966-1985 span, plus 12 playoff victories and three titles in the 90s. It's easy to see why the Cowboys are so loved and popular among the American population. But their winning streak would not last forever. Ever since the Super Bowl XXX back in January 1996, the Cowboys have won no divisional-round playoff games. They only have five playoff winnings and have won no champion games. They have yet to win another Super Bowl as well. Yet they are still wildly popular and one of the most popular team assets in global sports.
We don't just see the Dallas Cowboys on the football field or even through our big screens when we watch their games.

For decades, the Super Bowl has been the most-watched television event of the year, and for that reason it usually plays host to the best-produced commercials around. There are literally whole TV specials dedicated to showcasing just Super Bowl commercials, packed with everything from celebrity cameos to surprisingly heartwarming messages.

Updated with game-day versions, additional commercials. Super Sunday brought Madison Avenue’s annual spending spree, which has boosted the Big Game’s Hollywood quotient noticeably in recent years.
Celebrity product pitches date back to the days of leather helmets, of course, but in the increasingly rare air of the Super Bowl they have started to overtake the left-field breakouts of the past by the likes of Puppy Monkey Baby or beer-loving frogs. With Fox’s telecast commanding a peak level of more than 7 million for 30-second spots, producers and brands again are banking on stars in a big way. Super Bowl Lvii, a contest in Arizona between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, will feature commercials starring Bradley Cooper, Adam Driver, Melissa McCarthy, Anna Faris, Ben Stiller, Brie Larson, Steve Martin, Maya Rudolph and Miles and Keleigh Teller.

Jessica Simpson continues to be an open book when it comes to her personal life. The 42-year-old musician and actress penned a new essay for Amazon titled, “Movie Star: They Always Say They’re Single,” in which she details a secret romance with a man she describes as a “massive movie star.”
She first recounts meeting the unnamed celeb at the 2001 MTV VMAs when she and ex Nick Lachey were on a break.
Calling him “Movie Star” throughout the essay, Simpson recalls, “This megastar, who I grew up thinking was so hot, eyeballed me up and down. Like he was undressing me with his eyes.”
She says at the time that she “wasn’t ready” to continue flirting further and left the after-party only to run into the man later at a gym in Los Angeles. She claims that she invited the man to be in an upcoming music video of hers.

Formulate your viewing game plan and find out where to watch Fantasy Football, a movie that combines video games with authentic NFL football action at a level never seen before.

Instead, this is a story about a teenage girl, Callie played Marsai Martin of Black-ish fame, who is a master of the Madden video games and acquires the ability to control her NFL father from a gaming console.

Amazon’s Prime Video is one of the lions of the streaming business, with a shelf of awards, a multibillion-dollar advertising operation and reach to 80 million U.S. households to show for its efforts.
This Thursday, however, will mark perhaps the biggest milestone yet in Prime Video’s 15-year run, as it will deliver an exclusive stream of an NFL game for the first time. The contest between the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers is a preseason affair, so the stakes for the teams and fans are not exactly high. But a lot of eyes will be on the platform in its final public dress rehearsal before officially kicking off its Thursday Night Football broadcasts (the tech giant’s preferred term) on September 15. That regular-season matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs will be the first of 15 a year on Prime over the next 11 years. Amazon...

Fox Sports, a few weeks after making a splash by announcing Tom Brady would be joining the network as an NFL analyst when his playing career is over, has confirmed its lead announcing talent for 2022.
As expected, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen have been named lead play-by-play announcer and analyst, replacing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. In a stunning move prior to the Brady bombshell, Fox parted ways with Buck and Aikman after more than 20 years, with the pair shifting to ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
Burkhardt and Olsen will be joined by reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi as well as rules expert Mike Pereira, Fox said. The team will handle regular season and playoff games, culminating with Fox’s 10th Super Bowl telecast in February.

Updated with a report on the financial terms: Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is due to set another record whenever he leaves the field for good. His deal to become the lead NFL analyst on Fox is reportedly worth 375 million over 10 years. It takes effect as soon as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback finally winds down his career.
The New York Post reported the salary figure, though Fox threw cold water on it in a statement.
“What has been reported isn’t an accurate description of the deal and we have not released details beyond what was disclosed on our quarterly earnings call,” the statement said.

Al Michaels, considered the dean of NFL announcers, will helm Prime Video’s exclusive Thursday Night Football livestreams this fall, alongside ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit.
Amazon made the news official today, though it has been in the wind (at least the Michaels part) for months. The tech giant will kick off its 11-year rights deal on September 15, the first time a streaming platform will have a weekly NFL exclusive. While the company has not confirmed the price it paid for rights, numerous reports have pegged it at $1 billion a year. The weekly showcase of 15 regular-season games will add some potent fuel to Amazon’s burgeoning efforts to scale its video advertising business, across Prime Video, IMDb TV and Twitch.
Michaels, 77, had a 15-year run on NBC’s Sunday Night Football and before that became a national figure during his tenure at ABC, which encompassed Monday Night Football as well as baseball and other sports.

ESPN spent last year building up Peyton and Eli Manning as the curators of a loose, bar-talk like show meant as an alternative to its traditional “Monday Night Football.” Now the Disney-backed sports giant is focusing on the main event.
ESPN has signed the two main figures behind Fox Sports’ football presentations, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, in a bid to strengthen the main “Mnf” booth. The deal, which has been anticipated for several days, will put two of sports’ most-watched game-day figures at the helm of ESPN’s signature offering.
“When you have the opportunity to bring in the iconic, longest-running NFL broadcasting duo, you take it, especially at a time when we are on the cusp of a new era in our expanding relationship with the NFL,” said Jimmy Pitaro, chairman, ESPN and sports content for Disney, in a statement. “The NFL continues to ascend, and we now...

With news coming in that Russia was invading Ukraine, late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel designated airtime to slamming Donald Trump and Fox News personalities for their defenses of Vladimir Putin. Meyers told viewers on “Late Night” that “the entire world is aghast and horrified” as Russia mobilizes against the Ukraine — well, everyone except Trump. Meyers then played a clip of Trump defending Putin and calling him a “genius” while being interviewed on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.”
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said this is genius,” Trump is heard saying in the clip. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine…Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So Putin is now saying it’s independent — a large section of Ukraine.”
“I said how smart is that? And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper,” Trump continued.
