The anticipation for the Super Bowl Halftime Show is getting to fever-pitch heights as Bad Bunny is gearing up for the dazzling show on February 8, 2026.

Bad Bunny outlines the key details at the Super Bowl Halftime Show press conference on February 5.

The Puerto Rican musician appeared for an official interview before making waves at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Bad Bunny, while teasing his fans, said, “I really, as I said, want people to have fun. It’s going to be a huge party, it’s going to be what people can always expect from me, I don’t know if this is something.”

Addressing his fan’s confusion about following Spanish lyrics, Bad Bunny continued, “It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be easy. People only have to worry about… I know that I told them that they had four months to learn Spanish. They don’t even have to learn Spanish. It’s better if they learn to dance. That’s the only thing they need to worry about and enjoy. And of course, choose your team at the game.”

He offered a sneak peek into what’s going on for the big day, saying he’s getting ready for his performance by “eating smashburgers” and “[thinking] about the Super Bowl Halftime Show at 4 a.m.”

Feeling the heat of America’s favorite sport, he admitted, “Wake up, work out, [drink] my coffee, not think too much about it. Last night, I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about it. But yeah, I want to think that it’s just 30 minutes doing something that I love, that I like, and it’s just like that.

Bad Bunny only has one message for his fans: enjoy the vibe at Super Bowl LX. He said, “I’m trying to enjoy it and I know that I’m going to have fun. All the crew, all the people. They’re going to have fun that day. That’s what I’m trying to focus on. Just enjoy the moment, enjoy what is happening, what I’m doing. Trying not to put pressure or something on it.”

For the unversed, Bad Bunny made an appearance at Super Bowl LIV in 2020, along with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show will kick off between 7:30 and 9 p.m. ET on NBC from Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026.

Kevin James looked back on the movie that nearly ended his career, and the friend who saved it.

Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show to promote his latest romantic comedy, Solo Mio, James revealed that the first cut of his 2009 comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop left him terrified.

“We shot it, and we edited it. And you know what it’s like seeing the first cut of a movie. It’s horrendous,” he admitted. “I thought my career was over. And we were so panicked.”

That’s when Adam Sandler, who produced the film, stepped in.

“He saved me. He made my movie Mall Cop. I would never have gotten that made,” James said.

“Adam goes, ‘Relax, buddy. Let me check it out.’ He looked at it. He let areas breathe, and he just knew what to do with it. And he made the movie that was. It was just amazing.”

The comedy, which James also cowrote and coproduced, went on to gross $183 million worldwide on a $26 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo.

Its success spawned a sequel in 2015 and cemented James as a comedy star.

James has since reunited with Sandler on multiple projects including Grown Ups and Here Comes the Boom.

He told Barrymore that he considers Sandler “the greatest.”

“Everything he does, I listen,” James said. “I just follow him.”

• Court seeks full forensic record by February 14.
• CM says USB sent under court orders.
• Police await court direction to probe CM.

PESHAWAR: Fresh controversy erupted in the May 9 case after reports from the Punjab Forensic Science Agency and Nadra linked video evidence to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, prompting the court to seek a complete report on February 14, The News reported. 

According to official reports received from the Punjab forensic agency, the evidence submitted in the case has been linked to CM Afridi, while a separate verification report from Nadra has also identified material related to him.

The court has directed that the complete forensic and verification reports be presented on February 14. Police have maintained that if directed by the court, they will formally investigate the KP chief minister in the matter.

Meanwhile, questions have surfaced on social media over whether the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police themselves sent the evidence relating to the chief minister to the Punjab forensic laboratory or whether the material was dispatched strictly on court orders.

Speaking to The News, CM Afridi said that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police had not sent the material on their own. He said the court handed a sealed envelope containing a USB drive to the investigating officer and ordered that it be sent to the forensic laboratory.

According to the chief minister, neither his lawyer nor the investigating officer was informed about the contents of the USB. He said his lawyer requested that the material be shown in court, but the judge did not allow it, adding that the material was sent in what he described as an act of injustice.

Sohail Afridi further said that the court asked forensic experts to determine whether the individual appearing in the video was him. He said the experts confirmed that the person in the footage was indeed him.

“However, the real issue is whether Sohail Afridi has any connection with the May 9 incidents or not,” the chief minister said. He added that no investigation had so far been conducted against him by the police in connection with the case.

Separately, Peshawar Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Mian Saeed told The News that police had already completed their investigation in the case and submitted the challan to the court.

He said that after the defence lawyer produced certain material before the court, the court ordered that the USB be handed over to the police. Subsequently, the court directed the police to send the USB to the Punjab Forensic Science Agency and Nadra for verification.

The CCPO said that both the forensic and Nadra reports had been submitted to the court and formally made part of the case record. He added that further action would now be taken in line with the next court order.

According to the CCPO, if the court issues instructions, CM Afridi will also be investigated. He said it would now be for the court to determine whether the video and images have any connection with the May 9 incident in Peshawar.
