As you already know, Rihanna is set to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Feb. 12. And she’s likely to perform at the Academy Awards on March 12, assuming “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is nominated for best original song. “Lift Me Up,” which Rihanna co-wrote with Ludwig Göransson, Ryan Coogler and Tems, was one of 15 songs shortlisted in that category last month. The song’s sheer quality, its success (it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100), the film’s potency and Rihanna’s star-power all point to a nomination. “All the Stars,” from the initial Black Panther, was nominated for best original song four years ago. Even if “Lift Me Up” is nominated, there’s no guarantee that Rihanna will perform it on the telecast. Two years ago, the Academy relegated the best origi...
It’s hard to believe that nearly two decades after her debut album and many hit singles, pop superstar Rihanna has yet to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. But in 2023, she’s finally getting her chance.

Rihanna herself even appeared to confirm the news, posting a shot of her hand palming a football as the rumors swirled around social media. The announcement immediately got fans talking: Which guest stars will join her during the show? Does this mean that her long-awaited ninth studio album is coming? How will she integrate her Fenty beauty and fashion lines into the show? But one looming question stands out among the rest: What wi...
Rihanna is headlining the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and last year’s headliner, Dr. Dre, has some words of wisdom for her. Dre spoke with Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1 on Sunday (Sept. 25), soon after Rihanna’s news was announced. Apple Music was recently named the official sponsor of the annual event. “Oh, my god,” said Dre, who took the Super Bowl stage last year. “Let me tell you something, man. I actually just got the news that Rihanna’s going to do it, and I’m a super fan of Rihanna. I can’t wait to see what she’s going to do. “ “I just like her and what she does, and her get down, and how she approaches her artistry and the whole nine. It’s fantastic. She has the opportunity to really blow us away. I know we set the bar extremely high,” he added. His advice to the n...

Janet Jackson may have experienced the wardrobe malfunction seen round the world, but nearly twenty years later, she’s not blaming Justin Timberlake. During the fourth and final part of her eponymous new documentary, the superstar addressed the scandal-making 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, saying, “Honestly, this whole thing was blown way out of proportion.” “And, of course, it was an accident that should not have happened,” she said of the moment the former boy bander ripped off the bustier of her costume, exposing her breast and nipple for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it second, “but everyone is looking for someone to blame and that’s got to stop.” Advertisement Related Video In fact, Jackson insists that, despite the way her career suffered while Timberlake got away largely unsca...
The 2021-2022 NFL season is barely underway, but we’re already looking forward to the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. Roc Nation and Pepsi have announced a hip-hop mega-collaboration featuring Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Snoop Dogg for the Big Game’s entertainment. The 2022 Super Bowl will take place on February 13th at Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium (home to the surging Rams and competitive Chargers).

The production team behind the Framing Britney Spears documentary are reportedly at work on a new film about Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime show and what became known as “Nipplegate”. “It’s going to be all about the fallout and the suits who fucked over Janet [at] Viacom,” a source told Page Six. “They’re reaching out to everyone who was involved: dancers, stylists, directors. Everyone.” For those unaware of how “wardrobe malfunction” entered the lexicon, it was how Tim...
