Here are the Super Bowl ads that dropped yesterday:
1. Uber Eats is pulling out all the stops this week. Their ad stars Matthew McConaughey, and features guest appearances by Kevin Bacon, Martha Stewart, Charli XCX, “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans, and Greta Gerwig.
2. Barry Keoghan teams up with a donkey in this year’s Squarespace ad. No, it’s not the same donkey from “The Banshees of Inisherin”.
3. Stella Artois teased that David Beckham was going to find his long-lost brother in their ad. And yesterday we found out it’s Matt Damon. The spot was directed by Ben Affleck.
4. Frank’s Red Hot did a commercial this year, and they put Paris Hilton in it.

Michael Jordan’s son Marcus was arrested for DUI and coke possession after he got his car stuck on train tracks in the Orlando area. During his arrest, he made sure to mention who his father was.
Jelly Roll is doing really well in 2025. He announced the other day he’s lost over 120 pounds, and now he just got a big job promotion on “American Idol”. Last season on “Idol”, Jelly served as a mentor on the show, but for the upcoming season they’ve expanded his role. Jelly will be the first “artist in residence” in “Idol” history. Here’s how it’s going to work: Jelly will join the show during Hollywood Week, and ABC says that he’ll “work closely with the ‘Idol’ hopefuls, giving them firsthand advice on how to navigate the journey.” That’s the second major change to the show for this season, after they brought in Carrie Underwood as a judge to replace Katy Perry. So, does that mean “Idol” has officially gone country? Carrie Underwood . . . Jelly Roll . . . AND Luke Bryan . . .? And even Lionel Richie dabbled in country music at one time, too. This show knows what’s up. There will be a 30-minute sneak preview of “American Idol” after the Oscars on March 2nd. And then the official 23rd season premiere will air on March 9th.
Folks are still pretty upset about Morgan Wallen’s new tour. They’re saying it’s too expensive, and it’s not going to enough cities. And now, even Miranda Lambert is catching strays from all the online hate. She was announced as one of his special guests in certain cities, along with Brooks & Dunn . . . Ella Langley . . . Thomas Rhett, and more. But Miranda can handle anything. She took it in stride, as only she can do. She had someone film her while she read off some mean Tweets about the situation. Here are some of the best ones:
1. “This ain’t it, sis.”
2. “Team Miranda forever, but this comes as a shock.”
3. “I’m so disappointed in both of you. May God forgive you both.” To which Miranda laughed and said, “We’re really doing bad on this tour, Morgan.”
4. “You are not a side dish. You are the main course.” And then someone off camera shouted, “It’s true.” (Pretty wild to think that Morgan is so big, that he’s able to use Miranda as an opening act.) And then most of the tweets after that just showed their support for Miranda, wishing she was the headliner instead. Those are some good fans!
The Internet is convinced that Zach Top is actually Alan Jackson’s illegitimate child. And there’s no truth to this whatsoever, but their mustaches definitely seem related. (Here’s the pic where they look like twins. And you can check out the internet theory about Zach Top and Alan Jackson, here.) And now Zach has finally chimed in about the situation. He was talking to the Rob and Holly Show, and they asked him if Alan Jackson was his dad. Here’s what he said, “I’ve been trying to figure out what the answer is. My parents won’t answer me straight.” And then Zach said, “I think the only way I’m gonna get a straight answer is in Fort Worth when I finally meet him in a few weeks . . . Just gonna go up and say, ‘Hi Daddy, I missed you.’ And we’ll see how he reacts, and I’ll know whether it’s true or not
Eric Church teed it up at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend. He was obviously the “am” in that equation . . . listed as a 15 handicap. His pro playing partner was Sam Burns. They finished middle-of-the-pack at 11 under, which is pretty good. But you wouldn’t know it from the video the PGA Tour posted. He was in a group with six-time NBA All-Star Pau Gasol . . . and one of Eric’s shots almost HIT him. He got out of the rough, but it went a little more right than expected. It missed Pau by a few feet. He probably should have yelled “fore.” But he made up for it with a pretty good line right after: “If you can’t beat ’em . . . kill ’em.”
Sabrina Carpenter won a couple of Grammys last weekend, and she’s putting out a special deluxe version of her last album “Short n’ Sweet” next Friday. And Dolly Parton will be on it. Sabrina got Dolly to help her with a new version of her hit “Please Please Please”. In a social media post, Sabrina said, “[Dolly] wouldn’t want me to swear, but holy [S-word].”
