Big Time Rush’s tour. Super Bowl Halftime Show 2026. Baldoni v. Lively lawsuit update. And much MORE!!

In boy band news, Big Time Rush is bringing show on the road — literally. Carlos, James, Kendall, and Logan are all back for the In Real Life World Tour, and they will perform every single song from every single episode of the Big Time Rush series, which ran on Nickelodeon from 2009 to 2013. Joining the guys on the road are Katelyn Tarver, who played Jo Taylor — a girl all the boys liked but she developed feelings for Kendall and they started dating. But Jo became a TV star and Kendall became a pop star and it just couldn’t work…. and Kramer Glickman, who played record producer Gustavo. They kick things off in Birmingham, Alabama, on July 9, wind their way across the US hitting up cities like Nashville, Charlotte, Philly, Dallas and Austin before their final US date in Vegas on Aug. 30. Then it’s off to Europe through the end of the year. For ticket info — including VIP upgrades — go to BigTimeRushOfficial.com

It’s a little early, but one online betting site is already giving odds for who will headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which will be on Feb. 8, 2026, in San Francisco. As of right now, Miley Cyrus and Chappell Roan are tied for first, with a 16.7% probability of being the headliner. Oasis is next with a 14.3% probability, and then it’s another tie, with an 11.8% probability it will either be Christina Aguilera or Sabrina Carpenter. It’s worth mentioning that this particular betting site is based in the UK, which would explain why Oasis is even mentioned. But if they want to actually use artists from the San Francisco area for the Halftime Show, they could go old school because they would have a TON of acts to choose from, like Journey, Metallica, Huey Lewis and the News, the Steve Miller Band, Sly and the Family Stone, Jefferson Starship, Carlos Santa, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Third Eye Blind, 4 Non Blondes, the Grateful Dead….

Remember the stink it caused when Michael Strahan left Kelly & Michael to become one of the hosts on Good Morning America? Now sources are saying that Michael will leave GMA when his contract expires this year to focus on his passion for sports commentary and to focus on his family. Michael missed a lot of mornings on GMA two and a half years ago when his now 20-year-old daughter Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma — a malignant brain tumor that developed on the back of her brain. Isabella underwent successful surgery, chemo and radiation, and is now in remission. Sources say ABC is already looking for Michael’s replacement, and potentially Robin Roberts, as well.

Justin Baldoni filed a $400M lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and their publicist, Leslie Sloane. Leslie is requesting to be removed from Justin’s lawsuit, arguing that it wasn’t fair for her to be dragged into this mess in the first place. Her lawyer filed a motion to dismiss, stating there is no basis for claims that Leslie led any smear campaign against Justin. Her lawyer also argued that Justin’s allegations about Blake wrestling away control of It Ends With Us are sexist and painted her as “tyrannical” simply for offering her creative input. She also accused Justin of being a hypocrite who profits from feminist movements while allegedly engaging in sexual harassment and retaliatory behavior. My question is, can Justin’s lawyer now use this language to sue for libel and defamation?? 

Did our favorite show just get renewed? Yes! Apparently, they’re not going to wrap things up in a nice little bow after 8 episodes because Hulu has renewed Paradise for Season 2! When it debuted, they dropped the first three episodes of Paradise at once, and those were viewed 7M times globally. It’s been picking up steam ever since. If you don’t want to break down and subscribe to Hulu, following the Season 1 finale on March 4, you only have to wait about a month to start watching it on ABC, beginning April 7. And Reba McEntire fans will be happy to hear that NBC has renewed Happy’s Place for a second season. Reba got to share the good news with the entire cast right before they were about to shoot the Season 1 finale. By the way, Reba is returning to host the 60th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on May 8 at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas. Pre-sale tickets have been going on for a few days, but the general on sale starts this morning at 10am on SeatGeek.
