ENTERTAINMENT AND NON-POLITICAL HEADLINES

  • Mahomes, Kelce Rage With Chainsmokers, Post Malone To Celebrate Super Bowl Win
    • The three-time Super Bowl MVP and his bestie were front and center throughout the night … even getting behind the DJ booth
    • The victors were already raging by the time they showed up to the venue … as they started popping bottles right in the locker room after the 25-22 overtime thriller over the San Francisco 49ers.
  • Kate Hudson & Goldie Hawn Celebrate Family Dog for Being in Super Bowl Ad
    • Their dog Roy was in the heartwarming Budweiser commercial.
    • The ad kicks off with a colossal snowstorm delaying a Bud delivery to a remote, beer-deprived pub … so they resort to old-fashioned methods, transporting the precious cargo via horse and carriage.
    • Despite feeling disorientated amid the tumultuous weather, a beacon of hope emerges when the pub’s loyal dog Roy emerges … navigating them through the snow to the pub. Eventually, with Roy’s help, the beer arrives at the pub, albeit slightly delayed. Teamwork!
  • Ryan Reynolds Jokes, ‘Has Anyone Seen My Wife?’ Blake Lively as He Watches Super Bowl 2024 on TV
    • “Has everyone seen the #Deadpool trailer? Also has anyone seen my wife?” the 47-year-old actor hilariously posted on Instagram Sunday, midway through the NFL title game.
    • Lively, of course, was seen with close friend Taylor Swift arriving at the big game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas earlier Sunday afternoon — and putting on her own style show.
  • PATRICK MAHOMES SUPER BOWL HERO HITS DISNEY PARADE … After All-Night Rager!
    • Just hours after the post-game festivities wrapped, Mahomes hopped aboard a jet and flew to Disneyland on Monday — a tradition for the big game’s MVP.

THE GOOD NEWS

  • A warehouse worker who entertained friends with his spot-on Elvis impersonations is now earning $500 a night as a tribute act after they sneaked a video of him to a showbiz agent.
  • Danny Turney worked as a warehouse supervisor for 15 years in Bedfordshire, England, stacking and moving palettes of goods.
  • During the COVID pandemic, he was singing in his kitchen while making a cup of tea and wife, Laura, discreetly recorded him, uploading it to Facebook.
  • “I didn’t want it up there on social media, that’s never been my thing,” said the 34-year-old. “But the response was really good, and people were saying I should do a charity show.”
