13 celebrity fans of the Philadelphia Eagles

There are some pretty famous celebrities rooting for the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is the biggest event of the sports calendar in America, and for good reason. Everyone shows out, from the fans to the celebrities and the rest in between.

Super Bowl 57 between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs should be a great one on the field. And while many of us will be enjoying the game from the comforts of home or out at bars, many celebrities will have front row seats to the action!

There are quite a number of high profile celebrity fans of both the Chiefs and the Eagles. Philadelphia may have some greats like Bradley Cooper and Mike Trout backing them, but you’d be surprised at some of the celebrities that are Eagles fans.

Ahead of Super Bowl 57 on Sunday, Feb. 12, before we look at some of the Eagles’ celebrity fans, check out:

13 celebrity fans of the Kansas City Chiefs

Famous faces rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Super Bowl is the biggest American sporting even of the year with all the glitz and glam and celebs of a red carpet appearance, but with football and a big shiny trophy awaiting the game’s winner.

And those celebrities — they’re sports fans just like us! Sure, some of them will show up to the Super Bowl because they’re invited, they’re promoting something or they just kinda feel like it.

But there’s a good number of celebrity fans of both 2023 Super Bowl teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. And there’s more to Kansas City’s famous fans than Paul Rudd and Eric Stonestreet.

So ahead of Super Bowl 57 on Sunday, Feb. 12, here’s a look at some of the Chiefs’ celebrity fans (and don’t forget to check out our list of the biggest celebrity Eagles fans!)

15 movie trailers and teasers we can potentially expect to see during the Super Bowl

We could see trailers for Ant-Man, Shazam!, Scream, Fast X, John Wick, Transformers, The Little Mermaid and plenty more.

Some people watch the Super Bowl for the game. Others are more excited about the halftime show. But lots of folks are excited about the commercials.

As always, the Super Bowl 57 commercials will include some incredibly exciting movie trailers for upcoming movie releases. Last year, we got to see advanced looks at Top Gun and Jurassic World: Dominion.

This year, we tried our best to guess which of the major motion picture distributors are going to promote with a multi-million dollar advertisement. While you are watching the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, keep a careful eye out for the following trailers and teasers:

Nia Long said the Celtics made her family business public: ‘It could have been handled internally’

The actress briefly addressed her split with Ime Udoka.

Nia Long isn’t ready to go into detail about the events that led to the end of her 13-year relationship with ex-fiancé and former Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka. But she does have a thought about how it was all handled.

Reports at the time of Udoka’s suspension in September were that he had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the Celtics organization. Public comments from the organization only stated that Udoka committed multiple violations of team policies.

But if it seems like the Celtics dealt with the situation the best way they could, don’t be so sure. Long believes there was an alternative way to handle it.

“The Celtics made a choice to make my family business public, and I don’t understand why. It could’ve all been handled internally. I do understand why, but I can’t talk about it. Maybe one day I will,” the Love Jones actress said in an interview with The Cut. “You know, fear drives stupidity, and I’ll leave that right there. I’ve learned that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was.”

Long also said her 11-year-old son with Udoka, Kaz, is having a really tough time, which could understandably be fueling her feelings toward the team. If there was absolutely a way for the Celtics to keep things in house, that’s what she would have preferred.

Of course, that was out of the Celtics’ hands once reports began to surface about a potential suspension for a coach that had just led his team to the NBA Finals, and the reasons behind it. But that begs the question about who was leaking that information to reporters in the first place.

I don’t know the answer, but it seems clear there remains a lot about the situation we simply don’t know and may never know, which is fine, because it’s really none of our business. But if she ever does decide to say more, it doesn’t sound like it’ll paint the Celtics in the best light.

Every Super Bowl halftime show performer since the first one in 1967

A look at every Super Bowl halftime show performer from the last 50+ years.

There’s a little something for everyone when it comes to the Super Bowl. Some are there for the obvious reason: football. But plenty of other people tune in just to watch the very expensive ads, while others are hanging out for the halftime show.

The Super Bowl halftime show is a very big deal for a mini concert that most people watching are, in fact, watching from afar. With superstar artists often headlining the shows, fans are treated to fun performances (though there have been some not great ones as well), plus the nearly guaranteed memes and jokes that follow.

So ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl where Rihanna will perform the halftime show, here’s a look at every Super Bowl halftime show performer since the first one in 1967 (per The Washington Post, CBS Sports, and Rolling Stone).

5 new characters we want to see in Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania

Who are the weirdest Ant-Man-adjacent characters that we hope to see in Quantumania?

Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is upon us as we’re just days away from the release of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. The third film in the Paul Rudd superhero franchise promises to be the weirdest yet. But we’re hoping it’s even weirder than the trailers and posters are promising.

If you’re looking to catch up before the new MCU movie hits theaters on February 17, we compiled the movies and shows you need to see.

We scoured the archives of Marvel Comics for the weirdest Ant-Man-adjacent characters that we hope to see when Quantumania debuts, even if it’s just in a post-credits scene.

Why Michael Jordan isn’t in the trailer for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Nike film ‘Air’

The movie “Air” is all about Michael Jordan’s deal with Nike. So why isn’t MJ in the film?

It seems almost counterintuitive to make a movie about the greatest sneaker deal in sports history, featuring the most marketable player in sports history, and leave that athlete almost entirely out of the script.

So you’re going to have to trust Ben Affleck and Matt Damon when it comes to their new Nike biopic “Air”. The film focuses on the quest to sign a rookie Michael Jordan to what was then a third-place company in the basketball market.

Though the trailer released on Thursday shows Viola Davis and Julius Tennon portraying Jordan’s parents, the NBA legend won’t make an appearance on screen. Not a cameo nor an actor portrayal. And that’s by design.

 

Affleck and Damon—who reworked a script originally penned by Alex Convery—are focusing less on Jordan and more on Nike execs Phil Knight (played by Affleck) and Sonny Vaccarro (Damon) as they work to build the company’s basketball brand.

Per The Hollywood Reporter:

The story will focus on Vaccaro’s relentless quest to sign Jordan to what was then the third-place shoe company, a journey that took him to Jordan’s parents, and in particular his powerful, dynamic mother, as well as to former coaches, advisers and friends. Jordan will be a mythic figure hovering above the movie and never seen, even as Vaccaro tries to reach him by gaining access to those close to him.

Jordan isn’t listed in any credits, so if there is a cameo the filmmakers are keeping it tightly under wraps. Certainly there’s enough star power attached to the project to interest Jordan, but considering the movie isn’t about MJ’s greatness, he likely doesn’t care to get involved.

Either way, fans of sneaker culture and basketball history should find themselves entertained by the story of a plucky little basketball division that took over the world.

The 11 best Burt Bacharach songs from the late composer’s legendary career

The best songs from the composer’s storied career after he died at age 94.

Burt Bacharach died on Wednesday at the age of 94, as reports said on Thursday.

The composer left behind a tall pile of incredible, listenable songs that were smooth and lyrical, especially when writing with the similarly legendary Hal David. He’s also an Oscar winner for a couple of tunes you’ll recognize from movies like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Arthur and one that was in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

What are they, if you don’t know? That’s what this post is for, a look at some of the best songs Bacharach wrote in his storied career, so many of them hits:
