Gladys Knight’s announcement… Cardi B is the star… Jeff Bezos ready to go public… Rob Kardashian’s return to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”… and Chris Pratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger’s summer wedding plans…

Gladys Knight has announced that she’s going to sing the National Anthem during the Super Bowl, saying, “I am proud to use my voice to unite and represent our country in my hometown of Atlanta. The NFL recently announced their new social justice platform Inspire Change, and I am honored to be a part of its inaugural year.” And OF COURSE she’s receiving tons of backlash on Twitter. They’re calling her a sell-out, telling her she’s too old not to know better, and saying she is now against Colin Kaepernick.

Cardi B is the star of this year’s Pepsi Super Bowl commercial and she’ll represent Pepsi for the next year, following in the footsteps of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Cindy Crawford, Beyonce, Pink, One Direction, Madonna, Mariah Carey and The Spice Girls. Now Cardi was in talks to join Maroon 5 during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but the negotiations fell apart. The rumor is she wanted more stage time. However, she will perform with Bruno Mars at a pre-Super Bowl party.

Jeff Bezos and his mistress Lauren Sanchez are ready to go public! Jeff is going to accept a Living Legends of Aviation award Friday night, but they’re still trying to decide whether or not Lauren will go with him to that. But sources told Page Six that they WILL be at the Oscars together on February 24. A source said they are very much in love and weren’t hiding their relationship before Jeff announced he was getting divorced. He only did that, of course, because the National Enquirer was about to break the story of his affair with Lauren.

RadarOnline.com says Kris Jenner really wants Rob Kardashian to come back to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” next season and she wants him to come back strong and proud. Their source says Kris is offering him a half a million dollar increase for every ten pounds he loses. Rob has been working out again and he seems to be in this new relationship with “Love & Hip Hop” star, Alexis Skyy. The source says Kris would love it if the two of them are together when filming starts because they could use that as a storyline.

E! News is reporting that Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are deep in the throes of wedding planning and are looking at a summer wedding. Their source says they’re thinking about having the wedding in Martha’s Vineyard, which holds a special place in her heart because Katherine spent a lot of time there growing up. Of course, Chris is good with whatever she wants. People is reporting that Katherine did move in with Chris at his home in west Los Angeles.
