Don't tune into the Super Bowl hoping for a break from politics

WASHINGTON (AP) — The NFL faces pressure to take a stance against the Trump administration's immigration policies ahead of the Super Bowl. Over 184,000 people have signed a petition urging the league to denounce Immigration and Customs Enforcement's potential presence at the game. The liberal group MoveOn plans to deliver the petition to the NFL's New York City headquarters on Tuesday. Bad Bunny, the halftime show's headliner, is expected to address the moment. The Grammy-winning artist has criticized President Donald Trump on various issues. Trump has said he doesn't plan to attend this year's game and has derided Bad Bunny as a “terrible choice.”

Don Lemon says a dozen agents were sent to arrest him even though he offered to turn himself in

Don Lemon says that about a dozen federal agents came to his Los Angeles hotel to arrest him last week. The independent journalist told ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that's even though his attorney had told authorities he would turn himself in to face federal civil rights charges. Lemon said on the show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that sending the agents was a waste of resources. Lemon was indicted last week on federal civil rights charges over his coverage of an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church. The Department of Justice and FBI didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

Bad Bunny won big at the 2026 Grammys. It’s a boost at a dark time for U.S. Latinos

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bad Bunny’s album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” won album of the year at the 2026 Grammy Awards, becoming the first all-Spanish language album to do so. This victory reflects the Recording Academy's efforts to diversify its voting body. The event also saw celebrities taking strong anti-ICE and pro-immigration stances. Bad Bunny’s win is seen as a celebration of Latino culture amid rising anti-immigrant sentiment. His album, a blend of traditional and contemporary genres, is praised for its artistic and political messages. While both his victory and the onstage political messages feel surprising, they shouldn't. They directly reflect the current cultural moment.

The Grammys had lots of Mars, Carpenter soaring and a near-naked Bieber. Here are some key moments

The Grammy Awards featured memorable performances, including Bruno Mars and Rosé kicking off the night with their high energy hit “APT.” Lady Gaga delivered a unique performance of “Abracadabra” while Sabrina Carpenter turned the stage into a busy airport with her performance of “Manchild.” Justin Bieber performed “Yukon” in a stripped-down set that stood out from the other busy performances.

A smiling Cher laughs at her Grammys flubs in a good-natured, chaotic appearance

Cher may have wanted to turn back time on her rather chaotic Grammys presenting experience. But the pop legend’s obvious good humor made her flubs one of the most meme-worthy moments of the night. In what amounted to a Grammys version of John Travolta’s Adele Dazeem moment at the Oscars — if much more understandable — Cher, presenting record of the year, seemed to award it to the late Luther Vandross. Quickly, though, she realized that the actual winner was the very-much-alive Kendrick Lamar. Lamar won for “Luther,” his duet with SZA which samples Vandross. Cher also had left the stage prematurely before announcing the award — after her own lifetime achievement prize.
