The Flash will arrive in spite of the controversy associated with its star, Ezra Miller. Reports have indicated that the film has tested well with audiences, and there might be a major reason why: Michael Keaton’s Batman stands front and center in this trailer

The standalone DC/WBD picture finds its basis within the DC Comics Flashpoint event, which sees the title character attempt to save the multiverse (why, let it die?) while warring Batman and Superman versions appear.

All eyes are on Rihanna as she will make her live musical return at Super Bowl LVII. While her former collaborator Coldplay’s Chris Martin may consider her to be the greatest singer ever, the “Life Me Up” singer actually looked outside of herself for performance inspiration. Although the Savage x Fenty boss has taken the stage as part of her annual fashion shows, her Super Bowl performance will actually center on the recording artist’s music rather than the acts featured during the broadcast.

During an interview with iHeart and the NFL’s The Process with Nate Burleson, Rihanna spoke about her half-time preparation revealing both Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl performance and her 2016 guest appearance alongside Bruno Mars and Coldplay were the perfect study material.

The business mogul said, “I watched Beyoncé’s halftime performances a couple of times,” adding, “She is a beast and a whole other level. Just to be inspired, really.”

Of course, the “Work” singer will make the performance all her own as her discography differs from the “Cuff It” singer, but her dedicated Navy fanbase is ready for whatever she has planned.

As for which of her song’s have made the finally set list. You are just going to have to watch Super Bowl LVII to find out.

Dak Prescott seems like a pretty nice guy, and because of his commitment to helping others in his community, the Dallas Cowboys starting signal caller won the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award. In a very cool ceremony before the game kicked off, Payton was joined by all the nominees for this year’s award and received his trophy from last year’s winner, Andrew Whitworth, ahead of Super Bowl LVII.

There’s just one problem: Because he is the starting quarterback for the Cowboys, Prescott got booed by the numerous Philadelphia Eagles fans who attended the game.

Kudos to Prescott, who appeared to think the entire thing was extremely funny, in part because it was. Payton’s son, Jarrett, showed him some love, too, while the Eagles fans in the crowd expressed their disapproval.

The Eagles and the Cowboys played on two separate occasions this year, with Philly winning the first matchup, 26-17, and the Cowboys getting their revenge a little later in the year, 40-34. Prescott was unable to play in the first game due to an injury, and since that meant he was unable to play the Eagles in Philly, it appears their fans were excited to get a chance to give him the business.

These days, Sheryl Lee Ralph is best known as Barbara Howard, the elder teacher on Abbott Elementary. She has already won multiple Emmys for the show, both for her individual role and as a member of the cast.

But as the “original Dreamgirl,” who won a Tony for her portrayal of Deena Jones in the Broadway musical, her vocal chops shouldn’t be overlooked. So when she was tapped to open this year’s Super Bowl with a soulful rendition of “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” aka the Black National Anthem, she rewarded that choice, showing off her range and getting things started off right. The pre-show also included a performance of “America The Beautiful” by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.

For those who might be wondering why this year deserved such an honor, it’s because Black history has been made. This is the first-ever Super Bowl to feature two Black starting quarterbacks facing off, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

In a fun connection, the Super Bowl Halftime Show will be performed by Rihanna, whose Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 Show on Amazon Prime featured Sheryl Lee Ralph as a model. Her resume continues to grow and impress, making for an inspirational career second act.

You can watch Sheryl Lee Ralph’s pre-game performance above.

The time has finally arrived. Rihanna will hit the stage to perform at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime show tonight. Anticipation has been building since the Barbadian-bred mogul made the announcement last September. The “Work” hitmaker released a teaser trailer ahead of her upcoming show, only further amping up excitement. Ever the businesswoman, Rihanna capitalized on the monumental moment by releasing a limited edition NFL-themed apparel through her Savage X Fenty brand.

With the clock winding down, social media has been buzzing as fans await Rihanna’s upcoming performance. #FentyBowl has been trending all over Twitter today. Fans have been posting various funny memes, videos, and even some of their favorite songs from the singer.

“#FENTYBOWL NAVY See you in a couple hours @rihanna!” one user tweeted.

Another fan pointed out how excited they were to see Rihanna and that she would add a “little island flavor” to the evening.

“Rihanna is going to be amazing tonight! She has a PLETHORA of hits to perform, all while adding a little island flavor to the mix! She’s coming! #FentyBowl #HalftimeShow,” they wrote.

Before Rih takes the stage, a few other performers are expected to appear, including Country star Chris Stapleton, Emmy award-winning Abbot Elementary actress Sherly Lee Ralph, and iconic producer, singer, and songwriter Babyface.

Rihanna has been tight-lipped about her setlist, but she recently revealed that she changed it over 39 times. So we’ll finally get to see what she comes up with tonight.

Tune into Super Bowl LVII on FOX Sunday, February 12, with kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Mario is the most iconic video game character ever (sorry, Turtle Goofy), but you wouldn’t know it from his shows and movies. There aren’t many of them, and the ones that do exist, like the notorious flop Super Mario Bros., aren’t very good. But at least the theme song to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! still rips.

The latest teaser for The Super Mario Bros. Movie replaces Lou Albano and Danny Wells with Chris Pratt and Charlie Day, but don’t worry, there’s no “Mushroom Kingdom, here we come.” Instead, it takes on the form of a low-budget local plumbing commercial for Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, complete with an actress reading off a teleprompter and the Mario rap. There’s also a number (929-556-2746) that’s worth calling.

If you call the number, you are greeted with a message recorded by Charlie Day’s Luigi for Super Mario Bros. Plumbing… It ends with the slogan, “At Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, we don’t say ‘Let’s-a-wait,’ we say ‘Let’s-a-go!’” The team behind Super Mario Bros. Plumbing really thought of everything as the number is even a New York one and Luigi makes a reference to Luigi’s Mansion.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which also stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Charles Martinet, opens on April 7, 2023.

Legendary rap trio De La Soul has been making a musical comeback in a major way. Not only has the group managed to work through its legal dispute with its former label, Tommy Boy Records, but fans were enjoying the possibility of potential new music. Unfortunately, it has been revealed that founding member, Trugoy The Dove (real name David Jolicoeur) has died at the age of 54.

A representative close to the group has confirmed the news with several outlets, including The Grio and AllHipHop.com.

Although the details of his passing have not yet been released, in the past has been public about his health battles. Back in 2018, he opened up about his fight with congestive heart failure on social media confessing to his group member that he was struggling with being sidelined while they made professional progress relating to touring.

Saying, “I’m ready just to get back to the stage. I miss that. I love traveling. I love being around my guys, and I want that back.”

Jolicoeur was again hospitalized in 2020, but following a live stream with Posdnous and Maseo (also of De La Soul), it seemed that he was making progress.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jolicoeur’s family, close friends, and his fans currently mourning the news.

Over the weekend, Avatar: The Way of Water added another $25.3 million to its gigantic worldwide haul. That brings its total to a whopping $2.214 billion. James Cameron’s latest also would have crossed yet another milestone off its list, overtaking the third highest-grossing movie ever, i.e., James Cameron’s Titanic. And that’s what it would have done had it not been for…Titanic.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron’s 1997 monster hit — the highest-grossing movie ever made until Cameron’s Avatar unseated over a decade later — was reissued for Valentine’s Day. It only grossed $22.3 million worldwide ($6.4 million in North America), but that was enough to stave off Avatar 2 for just a little while longer. Titanic’s historical worldwide total now stands at $2.217 billion, up from the $2.194 billion it had before. It managed to make some extra money despite the emergence of a wacko conspiracy theory that the sinking of the ship never happened.

Yep, that means had Titanic not been reissued then Avatar 2 would sit in its place as the third highest-grossing movie ever made. For now it has to settle for fourth. It will surely take its spot in the next couple days, but already three of the top four biggest moneymakers (not adjusted for inflation) belong to James Cameron, a filmmaker who once thought his latest film wouldn’t make that much scratch.

All eyes are on Super Bowl LVII. Whether you are a fan of either football team looking to take home the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy, the halftime performance, or the commercials, the sporting event of the year has something for just about everyone. Although Savage x Fenty boss Rihanna is billed as this year’s featured performer, legendary rock group U2 has something special planned up their sleeves.

Based on their latest post on Twitter, the band may be using the big game as the platform to announce their Las Vegas residency formally. Last July, rumors began to circulate that the act would be tapped as the featured act for MSG’s newest proper, The Sphere. Now, it seems like the day has come. Along with the caption, “Tonight. Superbowl LVII. #U2SPHERE,” the band is gearing up for the big reveal later this evening.

In the past, when asked about the rumors, frontman Bono told actor told podcast host Sean Hayes, “We haven’t signed off on it, but if we do, if we do sign off on this, I will say that if we can pull off what we’re talking about, it’s not like anything we’ve ever done before. It’s nothing like Las Vegas has ever seen before. If this happens, this will be really extraordinary.”

For now, little is known about the residency except the venue’s capacity (17,500 seats), but its official website (www.u2xsphere.com) will be updated with the residency schedule and the ticket prices.

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox may have just called it quits (yet again). While the rapper-turned-metalhead should be riding the high of performing during the Super Bowl LVII pre-game festivities, according to fans across social media, the musician is likely somewhere licking his emotional wounds after a few scathing actions Fox took on Instagram.

Earlier this morning (February 12), the actress wiped her Instagram timeline of all photos and videos with Machine Gun Kelly. Fox then went on to upload a video of a letter burning captioned, “You can taste the dishonesty / it’s all over your breath.” The caption is none other than lyrics from Beyoncé’s song “Pray You Catch Me” from her acclaimed Lemonade album, which was inspired by romantic heartbreak.

Taking it a step further, Fox then went on to update the accounts she followed on the platform, only to include Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet, and Eminem. What makes this interesting is the fact that Eminem and MGK have had a very public musical feud for years.

While this isn’t the first time rumors that the pair have split have hit the net. Back in July, fans began to question if the couple were still an item after not being spotted together for weeks but that was quickly shot down. However, this was Fox herself is at the center of the rumors. Since her initial posting on Instagram, Fox has gone on to deactivate her Instagram page entirely.

The couple has gone to questionable lengths to prove their love to one another including drinking each other’s blood so whatever caused Fox to hint at a breakup must’ve been just as extreme.
