Super Bowl LVII will be held on February 12 in Glendale, Arizona, and for this year’s halftime show, billionaire and pop icon Rihanna is scheduled to perform. Ahead of her performance, the singer decided to tease her forthcoming halftime performance with a “Super Bowl-inspired” Savage x Fenty collection, according to Vogue.
On Sunday (January 8), Rihanna’s lingerie line Savage x Fenty released a limited-edition collection of football-inspired styles. Titled “Game Day,” the sports-themed line features an assortment of 17 sporty styles, including varsity jerseys, hoodies, sweatpants, boxers, and more. The special issue Super Bowl-inspired fashions will be available in various sizes, ranging from XXS to 4X, and are priced between $25 and $90, Vogue reports.
One of the most notable (and probably the most highly coveted) pieces is the brown LVII cropped jersey, which is presumably inspired by the color of a football. Additionally, the “Lift Me Up” singer will launch a special three-day “Game Day” pop-up shop, where customers can participate in Super Bowl-style photo ops and giveaways in Los Angeles from January 27 to January 29.
“There is a massive appetite for everything to do with Rihanna, especially as this will be her major return to the stage for the first time in years. She will be recorded during rehearsals and meetings in the lead-up to the big night and give an insight into what her life is really like now she is returning to pop as a mum,” a music insider told The Sun.
Republicans used to duke it out with Democrats. Nowadays they fight themselves. As Donald Trump’s star appears to wane, the party is torn between those who want to at least appear to be sensible — and therefore get re-elected — and the DGAF extremists more than willing to play saboteurs. They couldn’t even elect a Speaker of the House without it descending into chaos. Marjorie Taylor Greene has unexpectedly squabbled with her former besties. Now she’s found herself another enemy.
As per Mediaite, Mike Lindell, the pillow salesman-turned-incorrigible conspiracy theorist, appeared on a podcast published on Telegram on Thursday, during which he let slip that he doesn’t think so highly of the lawmaker who had to be educated about the Holocaust in middle age. He was singing the praises of the MAGA politicians who “have made promises to the grassroots, they’ve made promises to the people.” Then he started naming names.
“Matt Gaetz is not going to break his promise,” Lindell said. “I’m very surprised that the one, I won’t name her name, but it’s Marjorie Taylor Greene, she broke her promise.”
Lindell then realized he’d blurted out her name a mere second or two after claiming he wound’t. “Oh I did name her name. Oh, I let it slip out,” Lindell said. “Now the media can say ‘Mike Lindell bashes Marjorie Taylor Greene!’”
And here we are.
Lindell did try to backpedal a bit, though he didn’t make much sense. “You know, I just think that she, I mean, it’s her choice. But obviously, she was promised something,” he said. “And I don’t know if that promise helps the people, you know what I mean?”
Usually naming a new Speaker of the House is a dull affair. Not this year, not with this iteration of the House GOP. Not only do Republicans have a narrow majority in the chamber, they also have a small faction of MAGA extremists willing to gum up the works. Kevin McCarthy eventually, after four days and 15 votes, got the job, but they did their best to sabotage him. Things got so hectic that a fight almost broke out. Some thought that made the GOP look like clowns. Not Jim Jordan.
The Ohio representative was not one of the extremist faction who repeatedly humiliated McCarthy, but he wasn’t horrified by what went down. Far from it. He thought that George Washington et al. would have wanted Matt Gaetz to almost be coldcocked by one of his colleagues.
“Kevin McCarthy got the same number of votes that Pelosi got,” Jordan said on Fox News on Sunday. “She had the same majority number, 222, that we have this time. So sometimes democracy is messy. But I would argue that’s exactly how the Founders intended it.”
He added, “They wanted real debate, real input from all people and then you get a decision.”
Perhaps Jordan’s right: The Founding Fathers might have thought Republicans looking like a bunch of childish morons prone to in-fighting and drama was in the nation’s best interest. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy two years.
You can watch Jordan’s Fox News appearance in the video below.
Donald Trump’s been down so long he must forget what it’s like to be up. For months the former president, who’s never really had to pay the consequences of his actions, has been stepping on endless rakes à la Sideshow Bob. He’s been largely blamed for the GOP’s failed “red wave” at the midterms; he was caught dining with anti-Semites; his business was found guilty of fraud; his tax records were released; he nabbed a criminal referral from the Jan. 6 committee. The big guy needs a win. And now he’s at least claiming one.
In the wee hours of Saturday morning, after four days and 15 votes, Kevin McCarthy was finally elected to the Speaker of the House. McCarthy himself thanked Trump, who stumped for him from Mar-a-Lago. That was enough to inspire Trump to take a much-needed victory lap on his rinky-dink Twitter clone.
In the past hour on Truth Social, Trump has made 11 posts claiming all the credit for McCarthy’s election as Speaker.
Over nearly a dozen posts (or “Truths,” as they’re called over there), Trump mostly posted articles from far right joints like Fox News, Breitbart, and Newsmax, crediting him with McCarthy’s comically protracted win. He was so moved that he did what he never does: He actually thanked journalists.
“The Fake News Media was, believe it or not, very gracious in their reporting that I greatly helped Kevin McCarthy attain the position of Speaker of the House,” Trump wrote. “Thank you, I did our Country a big favor!”
It’s worth noting that Trump’s influence didn’t exactly speed up process that took so long that it turned the GOP into a laughing stock. Moreover, McCarthy’s win is perilously close to a Pyrrhic Victory. Republicans only scored a narrow majority, while a rogue faction of MAGA extremists, like Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert, are bound to turn every vote into a headache. But you know what? Trump’s been a crap magnet for so long, and given all the legal and financial troubles he’s facing, his fortunes may not improve. Let’s let him have this.

Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
Christmas came and went, but David Harbour will last forever. Or so the legend goes, especially when he’s playing a bad-boy Santa that (arguably) makes Billy Bob Thornton’s Bad Santa look like dust in the wind. This version of St. Nick isn’t about to let some mercenaries ruin a family’s holidays, and as a must-see bonus, this film will help you get an Edi Patterson fix while we wait for more Righteous Gemstones shenanigans. Did I mention that this film hails from the minds behind Deadpool 2, John Wick, and Nobody? There’s another reason to keep your Christmas “cheer” going.
This show begins with a meltdown before giving way to a slow burn about what may have happened to Claire Danes’ Rachel, who is painted as a nightmare Type-A wife to Jesse Eisenberg’s awkward hepatologist, Toby Fleishman. The camera literally turns on its head at many points during this season, which tells us not to make assumptions. What I’m saying is this: yes, this begins as a “divorce story” that claims to also be a “Eisenberg-as-Hot-Single-Dad show,” but there’s plenty of sleight of hand here. Author Taffy Brodesser-Akner adapts her own novel with Toby’s best pals portrayed by Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody. Their insight is everything.
This undeniable streaming hit lands in a post-Squid Game realm, where audiences can’t seem to get enough of dystopian Asian shows. However, this franchise springs from a survival manga series, in which a rabid gamer suddenly finds himself in Tokyo, but it’s not his Mama’s Tokyo. Rather, this is a ghost town that’s punctuated by survival games with mysteries piling upon a rag tag group’s head while reality may or may not still exist back home.
This adaptation already had its work cut out for it, given that Don DeLillo’s mid-1980s book isn’t the easiest subject matter to absorb or get excited about reading. As well, Noah Baumbach films tend to be an acquired taste, laden with irony and ennui, which it may or may not subscribe to while roasting those tendencies. Yet wait for when the great catastrophe hits in this generally faithful adaptation.
Although this prequel hasn’t received the same fanfare as the O.G. series, completists will appreciate the back story about the Elven golden age, as guided by Michelle Yeoh’s swordmaster. In addition, the first Witcher prototype’s creation takes center stage, even though there’s not nearly enough of The Bard, who is (as usual) captivated by himself. This limited series bobs and weaves and doesn’t always make sense with the various clans, but that’s part for the course with this franchise. Henry Cavill’s final run as Geralt will be coming soonish, so catch up before that happens.
A whole lot of Gary Oldman farts will be had in this series, which is now in the thick of season 2. Yet don’t let that frequent display distract you from the failed spymastering of his group full of of British intelligence f*ck-ups. Olivia Cooke and Jack Bowden co-star, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll move past their collective “slow horse” reputation through a series of crises. Yet mainly, it’s nice to see an espionage-focused TV show that puts a fresh, and bumbling, spin on the genre with all those super Krasinski-spies running rampant on streaming.
5. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Netflix film)
Netflix gave this Rian Johnson followup a brief run in theaters, but if you were busy during all of that holiday madness, you can already watch it in your living room. Gather ’round as Daniel Craig gleefully resumes his reign as Benoit Blanc with Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn on hand for more murder business. An endless stream of delightful cameos also awaits (including Hugh Grant and Ethan Hawke), and a very special appearance from one of TV’s finest investigators might grab you in the feels. The third round is on the way, and hopefully, we’ll receive another iconic item of clothing on par with Chris Evans’ sweater and Dave Bautista’s speedo.
There’s no escaping this show, as I’ve found while begrudgingly admitting that it’s actually rather enjoyable. That’s how Emily is winning over Parisians, too, long after Brigette Macron tossed a “like” her way. Emily is portrayed as being very career focused this season, but the show always invests plenty of time in that love triangle. Emily and Hot Chef Gabriel already got a room, and they’ve been dancing around their love since then, but somehow, they’re both stringing along other people. Ugh, make it stop, but give me more.
The ever-elusive perfect heist is the name of the game for this choose-your-order show inspired by Hurricane Sandy fallout. In this limited Netflix series, a gang of thieves actually plotted for decades while hoping to pull off a similar situation regarding $7 billion in bearer bonds, and showrunner Eric Garcia has a blast playing with the sequence of events while betrayal and various other stumbling blocks rear their heads. Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul, The Boys) and Tati Gabrielle (You, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) lead the cast amid dizzying twists that won’t stop.
People only thought satire might be dead after the most recently concluded U.S. presidency of our time, but somehow, brilliant minds keep delivering the goods. Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, and Ralph Fiennes star in this foodie-horror comedy that’s not only cooked to the right degree but has sparked theories about that damn cheeseburger. Hoult plays an obnoxious a-hole among other obnoxious a-holes who have traveled far and wide for an exotic culinary experience, and Fiennes is so Voldemort here that it hurts. I’d like to see his psychopathic chef team up with Joel McHale’s character from The Bear. Happy streaming!
This prequel and Yellowstone proper are off to mid-season hiatus land, but ratings and streaming numbers have been through the roof for this and the rest of Taylor Sheridan’s current TV creations. As well, A-listers can’t stop signing onto these shows (Nicole Kidman joined Lioness this week), and here, Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford are out on the range. The television landscape continues transforming, and Sheridan’s universe is one of the main focal points while also sparking a Western resurrection. Natural and historical obstacles rear their heads for the Duttons during the series, but unlike the Targaryens, we know that they survive.
For the first time since the 2017 NFL season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are headed to the playoffs. The Jags played host to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday evening with the winner securing the AFC South and a spot in the postseason, and thanks to some heroics by Rayshawn Jenkins and Josh Allen, Jacksonville picked up a 20-16 win.
After a punt by the Jags with just over eight minutes left, the Titans seemed hell-bent on running the ball, bleeding clock, and not letting the home team get it back until they took as much time as possible. Facing a third-and-6 from their own 35, Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs dropped back and looked for the sort of easy completion that could move the sticks and keep the clock ticking down.
Instead, Jenkins came flying off the edge on a blitz and was completely untouched. He got to Dobbs a split second before the QB’s arm started moving forward, meaning this counted as a fumble. It bounced right into Allen’s arms at the 38 and the former top-10 pick did the rest, sprinting into the end zone to give the Jags their first lead of the night.
The Titans got the ball back needing a touchdown, but were unable to make their way down the field and score.
Ivica Zubac had a rough night on Friday. Zubac and the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 128-115, while Zubac, who had nine points and two rebounds in 21 minutes of work, was thoroughly outclassed by Rudy Gobert, who went for 25 points and 21 rebounds.
But the weirdest part of the night for Zubac came before the game even tipped off. The two teams were getting ready to start things while Zubac — who, by nature of being huge, was going to participate in the tip-off — just stood at center court. It was at this point that the Timberwolves Dancers surrounded midcourt as part of their pregame routine, while Zubac just kinda stood there and vibed for a bit. The video of him trying to just kill some time while all of this was going on really is terrific.
I hope that Zubac did not have to, like, go to the bathroom or get a cup of water or anything like that, because dude didn’t have a way to get out of there other than hoping the dance routine ended as soon as possible. The Clippers’ next game is at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, and it stands to reason that Zubac knows what he’ll need to do to avoid finding himself in this position at Crypto.com Arena.
The Kansas City Chiefs must be pretty bored during their game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday afternoon. While the Chiefs have a playoff berth all sealed up, the team entered the game in Vegas hoping for a win to keep their hopes of having homefield throughout the AFC playoffs alive, assuming the NFL’s plan for a neutral site conference championship game doesn’t come to fruition.
Anyway, the Chiefs were on the doorstep late in the first half when they busted out this play, which involves playing ring around the rosie and then having Patrick Mahomes line up at running back. It worked out beautiful, except for the fact that there was a holding penalty called and the officials called back what would have been the weirdest touchdown of the NFL season.
The whole thing rocks. The Chiefs play a quick game of Ring Around the Rosie, at which point Jerick McKinnon lines up at quarterback and Mahomes is the running back. They look like they’re running a triple option, but McKinnon actually pitches it to Mahomes, who turns around and throws a screen Kadarius Toney. It is one of the weirdest plays I have ever seen and I love it dearly. Anyway, Toney would score on the very next play, so it all worked out in the end.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have reportedly broken up, according to US Weekly. The news arrives after Jenner and Scott had spent the holidays apart.
“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” said the source to the magazine. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great coparents.”
Jenner and Scott first began dating in 2017. The two welcomed their daughter, Stormi, in February of 2018. The two first decided to take some time apart in 2019, not considering it a “full break up,” but making the choice to co-parent Stormi. The two were later reported to have reconciled in May 2021, and three months later, the two were reported to be expecting their second child.
In a video Jenner shared to YouTube, recapping her 2022, she revealed that while she loves all of her sisters equally, she’s revealed that having children of her own has brought her closer to her sister, Khloe Kardashian.
“We’re in this little mom club and it’s a whole thing,” she said. “…They’re all my best friends. It’s been a great year.”
Thankfully, it seems like Jenner has plenty of family to lean on during this time.
Two weeks ago, the Denver Broncos fired first year head coach Nathaniel Hackett after just 15 games, with a blowout loss on Christmas to Baker Mayfield and the L.A. Rams proving to be the final straw for the embattled coach. Denver’s 4-11 record was a far cry from where they expected to be this offseason when they shipped multiple first round picks to Seattle for Russell Wilson, hoping to be a factor in the AFC West.
Instead, they’ll be sending a top-5 pick the Seahawks way and cannot help but be fully committed to Wilson given his massive extension they inked him to this offseason. As such, they have to find a new coaching staff that can come in and unlock whatever Wilson has left to offer to try and maximize their situation, and it appears their top target is a former Super Bowl winner. On Saturday, Adam Schefter reported former Saints coach Sean Payton, who retired after the 2021 season and has spent the year doing TV for FOX, was set to interview with the Broncos after Denver received permission to interview him later this month.
The Denver Broncos requested and received permission from the New Orleans Saints to interview Sean Payton for their head coach job, league sources tell ESPN.
The NFL ruled that any in-person interview with Payton cannot be conducted until at least January 17, per sources.
Payton’s track record speaks for itself — as does the struggles New Orleans has had in his absence offensively — and while his past isn’t without some controversy, as the recipient of a year-long suspension for Bountygate, he’s about as highly regarded as offensive coaches come. The real question likely isn’t whether Denver wants to hire Payton, but whether the Broncos are the team Payton wants to make his return to the NFL with. There are real questions about whether Wilson is cooked, and while Payton has experience getting the most out of an aging QB (as he did with Drew Brees), whether he wants to try that again with a guy he’s never worked with is another question.
Payton figures to be at the top of a number of coaching wishlists, but Denver will get first crack at an interview with him to gauge where he’s at and what he believes Wilson and the team could be under his watch.
