Bad Bunny shook the country when he took the stage at Super Bowl LX with Lady Gaga joining him and other Latin artists like Ricky Martin, Jessica Alba, Cardi B and Pedro Pascal dancing in the background. But one major Puerto Rican was missing — and I'm told she was irate about not being invited. Jennifer Lopez, who shared the Super Bowl stage with Bad Bunny and Shakira at the 2020 game, was "shook" and "furious" she wasn't at the big game. "She's been trying to make a comeback," my Hollywood insider said. "Nothing is working. Her movie bombed. Her shows in Vegas over the New Year did okay — but it was the New Year — and her singing is being mocked online. She's performing every song live in Vegas and there are some people who are better off lip synching if you know what I mean." No matter — Lopez still made the Super Bowl performance about her ... |

The "Where's Waldo" game for ex-Prince Andrew's former wife, Sarah Ferguson, continues apace — but we now know she was in the Middle East … at least for a little bit. Ferguson — aka "Fergie" — has been in hiding since the latest batch of the Epstein files was released, and it was revealed that not only was she extremely close to the pedo perv, she remained close with him years after she claimed she had cut off contact. Last week, reports circulated that she had taken refuge with Richard Branson (another Epstein friend) on his Caribbean retreat, Necker Island. Branson furiously denied those reports, but Fergie did go somewhere warm. My friend Tom Sykes reports that Fergie has been spotted in ... |

The nation is transfixed on the horrific kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy, in Arizona. And it is causing the "Today" show to once again rocket to No. 1 in the ratings, taking a commanding lead over longtime rival "Good Morning America" — especially amongst the advertiser-coveted demographic of younger viewers aged 25 to 50, according to Nielsen. Before the kidnapping, "GMA" on ABC was eyeing out a win daily, give or take a few thousand viewers, but now, per Nielsen, NBC's "Today" has a commanding lead of ... |

Meghan Markle's press bestie, Omid Scobie, is following his princess into Hallmark romcom territory — and getting slammed for his efforts. Scobie, who has written several books in defense of Markle, has a new fiction book out — about, of course, an American finding love in a British palace. Called "Royal Spin," the tome was subject to a brutal takedown by The Telegraph this week, which declared: "Meghan's confidant has written a novel so bad, AI would disown it… It's hopelessly bad from start to finish." The paper then gets personal ... |

He was beloved in "Dawson's Creek," lauded for his roles in "Varsity Blues" and "CSI: Cyber" and adored by fans — so why was James van der Beek, who died this week aged 48 from colorectal cancer, so cash-strapped? His family friends set up a GoFundMe this week, asking for $1.5 million (it currently stands at $1.7 million) to help the actor's wife and six children. But many couldn't understand how Van Der Beek, who was so popular, could have died with so little money. It's simple, really ... |

Angelina Jolie came out this week — again — to talk about her mastectomy and the scars it left and moving out of the United States for good … leaving friends of Brad Pitt fuming about the convenient timing of the press attention. In a new interview with the French media outlet French Inter: "Well, I've always been someone more interested in the scars and the life that people carry," the actress explained. The interview was done seemingly to promote her upcoming film "Couture," which takes place at Paris Fashion Week, where Jolie plays a filmmaker going through a divorce who is diagnosed with breast cancer. But friends of her ex, Pitt, are fuming ... |
