Takis is launching several new chip flavors, and some may surprise you.

The popular spicy, rolled corn tortilla chip announced on Monday that it has a "next-level" flavor lineup that's heading to stores this spring, and unlike the original, not all of the newcomers will be spicy.

Now, this isn't the first time Takis has steered away from spice, swapping the heat for something sweet with its churro-inspired corn chips and the ranch flavor it dropped a few years ago. But it's still a significant development, as the company is offering an entirely new range of flavors from "zero-heat tang to full-send spice."

Coming this spring are six savory new chip flavors, ranging from briny to sweet and citrus-forward or fiery. Now introducing Takis' new Xtreme Lime, Smokin' BBQ, Jalapeño, Pickle Punch, Crazy Buffalo, and Hot Honey chip flavors.

All six new snacks are made without artificial colors, which the company said reflects its commitment to its phased approach to removing artificial colors across its portfolio by the end of 2026.

"These All Intense, Not All Spicy flavors show that intensity isn't one-dimensional," Sandra Kirkpatrick, senior director of marketing at Takis, explained in a statement. "From zero heat to hot, this new lineup allows us to reach consumers and delivers craveable flavors for every taste preference—giving snackers more ways to experience Takis snacks in a way that matches their intensity."

T

• Xtreme Lime™: Bright and electrifying citrus-forward flavor delivering an intense lime punch that dials up tangy flavor to the extreme. Heat-o-meterLevel: Zero heat.
• Smokin' BBQ: Grill-inspired smoky barbecue flavor layered with rich, savory depth and subtle sweetness. Heat-o-meter Level: Mild.
• Jalapeño: Classic green pepper profile with a smooth, savory kick and herbaceous jalapeño flavor for a craveable, everyday intensity that builds without overpowering. Intensity Level: Hot.
• Pickle Punch: Sharp, briny blast of dill pickle flavor meets acidity and a mouthwatering tang that delivers an in-your-face pickle experience. Heat-o-meter Level: Medium.
• Crazy Buffalo (Available exclusively at Kroger stores): Fiery fusion of tangy buffalo sauce flavor with creamy notes and lingering heat, bringing wing-night energy to the snack aisle. Heat-o-meter Level: Medium.
• Hot Honey (Available exclusively at Walmart): A craveable balance of sweet honey and rising heat delivers the ultimate swicy experience, with smooth sweetness that hits first before building into a lingering sweet-heat payoff. Heat-o-meter Level: Hot.

Four of the six flavors will be widely available–Xtreme Lime, Smokin' BBQ, Jalapeño, and Pickle Punch—wherever other Takis flavors are sold, while the remaining two will be exclusive to two separate stores: Crazy Buffalo will only be found at Kroger family stores and Hot Honey will only be available at Walmart, per the announcement.

While the brand may be touting this as its spring lineup, fans don't have to wait until the equinox to see its release. Takis said its new chips would be available as early as today (Monday, Feb. 9), with select flavors available exclusively at participating retailers for a limited time, in 3.25-ounce and 9.9-ounce bags (prices vary).

"I don't know if I'm going to be able to get in and out of that," Tammy said to her fiancée, Andrea Dalton. "It's too low."

To that, Andrea reassured her, "Yeah, you can. I promise I'll have somebody help you."

Tammy's sister, Misty, asked their brother, Chris Combs, "Do you remember when we wouldn't really fit in these?" as she sat in a go-kart. To that, Chris replied, "Man, yeah."

In a confession with producers, Tammy admitted, "I was really nervous. I didn't know if I had the strength to, like, push like this to get in and out."

However, Tammy was able to successfully make her way into a go-kart for the first time, next to Andrea. Other racers included her sister, Amanda, and sister-in-law, Brittany.

"I feel like Mario Kart!" Tammy exclaimed as she held on tightly while Andrea drove them around the track.

"Tires squealed every time I went around that corner," Andrea told producers."

"I thought them people were going to stop us," Tammy confessed with a laugh, to which Andrea agreed, "I did too, because it said 'No reckless driving.' I was reckless."

Although Tammy and Andrea aren't yet engaged in the show, they announced their engagement in real time in June 2025. Tammy lost over 500 pounds through the years, after undergoing weight loss surgery and excess skin removal surgery.

Well over 20 years since their initial romance, Tori Spelling is spilling the beans about her relationship to 90210 co-star Vincent Young.

On a recent episode of the 90210MG podcast, the 52-year-old Spelling revealed to co-host Jennie Garth that she and Young's relationship wasn't as filled with physical intimacy as one might think. In fact, for a majority of their time together, Spelling said the couple was actually celibate, something that Spelling alluded to with coy amusement.

"Nothing happened," Spelling said of her physical relationship with Young. "Eventually something happened, but let's just say I was celibate for three years."

Initially, Spelling said she and Young started dating while filming 90210 in Hawaii. "I remember in between takes, I was massaging him in his chair," Spelling said. "And he's like, 'You give such a good back massage.' And I was like, 'Well, I'm a really good cook.' ... Like, I was good with shoulder massage, and I make a great lasagna. So I was, like, going all out trying to get this guy."

To illustrate that point, Spelling said she wound up delivering a homemade lasagna to Young later that night, kickstarting an off-screen relationship that eventually lasted through several seasons of filming.

At the height of their relationship, however, Spelling said that Young was largely noncommittal to their romance, feeling uncomfortable with the fact that he was dating the daughter of TV producer Aaron Spelling.

"After the show ended, that's when he felt comfortable being like, 'Okay, she's my girlfriend,' and holding my hand in public and going on red carpets with me," Spelling revealed.

"But he would never — it was noncommittal," the actress continue. We've talked about it in years later, and he was like, 'I was nervous. I worked for your dad.'"

Believing that it was "three years we weren't supposed to be together," Spelling nevertheless said she valued her time with Young, believing they both did the best they could to make their relationship work in their own way.

"He satisfied me," Spelling said. "We loved independent films. We loved shopping and, you know, he had great design taste. So there were a lot of things about him that I liked that people wouldn't get from watching him on the show. He's very artsy and just, he was young and became a star and didn't want to commit to the boss's daughter. And yet, I just kept going."

Jessica Alba wasn’t just in the crowd — she became part of one of the most talked-about moments of the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Last night, Bad Bunny made history at Super Bowl LX by performing an almost entirely Spanish-language set. Turning Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, into a vibrant Puerto Rican landscape, the global trap artist danced and sang his heart out. 

Among the crowd onstage were several celebrities and famous names. Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and Karol G were all there, along with a certain Never Been Kissed star whose cameo is all over the interwebs today. 

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance, Alba can be seen moving and grooving in front of Bad Bunny’s La Casita. Cosigning a choice Gen-Z ensemble, the Honey actress stunned in a white corset top and low-rise lightwash denim, allowing her to really stand out amid the energy and visually rich aesthetic of the performance. 

Alba, who is known both for her screen projects and business ventures, has another talent, and that’s the ability to effortlessly turn any casual moment into a full-blown frenzy. Not that Bad Bunny’s halftime show was casual, but Alba's role in being there certainly was. Until today, when fans can’t stop Googling her name.

Bad Bunny’s show was a huge success, with fellow artists joining him in song. Both Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin were given air time. Gaga sang a Latin-inflected rendition of “Die With a Smile,” while Martin took on Bad Bunny’s “Lo Qus Le Paso a Hawaii.” The entire set ran about 13 minutes, culminating in the joyous “DTMF.” 

The theme of the night was unity, with Bad Bunny holding a football that read “Together we are America,” a billboard reading “The only thing stronger than hate is love,” and the “Monaco” rapper shouting “God bless America” in between lyrics. 

Everyone really showed up and showed out.

Bad Bunny celebrated unifying the countries of North and South America during his halftime show and closing with the message, 'Together, We Are America,' before launching into his anthem "DtMF." #badbunny #SuperBowl #superbowllx

The performance was a nod to the singer’s Puerto Rican heritage and a celebration of LatinX culture. Despite criticism from Donald Trump, Bad Bunny’s halftime show was widely celebrated. Country singer Kacey Musgraves said the performance made her feel “proudly American,” while Ricky Martin said he felt “a tsunami of emotions” after joining the singer onstage.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show was largely seen as a cultural milestone that sparked acelebration, joy, and unity on a worldwide stage.

Veteran hard-rock icon Lita Ford has shared a public message in support of Dee Snider following the cancellation of Twisted Sister’s planned 50th anniversary performances. The shows were called off after the band announced that Snider had stepped away due to a series of health challenges.

In a post shared alongside the band’s official statement, Ford referred to Snider as her 'big brother' and reflected on their time performing together. She described their onstage collaboration as magic and thanked him for decades of music and influence.

https://www.facebook.com/litaofficial/posts/pfbid0t2mBarsGzFpCzu8DCwDFCz9Xo5MW15maa1Rf5494fzcNQKjXDT5Z8yxg18YapSW2l?__cft__[0]=AZbMZb_xtiOtRqUpD8XleUUl0a5Z6amvaPFBBS_GDFpbx6nu3aVUazuYXXcshTfRXXSQNC1vc_QpLckFRA40UrwmTgRF8SswVSULtF3RHoavv8mQAKHUOU4htt3NwmbcC_k3PEMk7YMmeNv1BpEZLVBl64l9iytyG-ylcNRf8-QqkUIvI2yC-QWsf-rXEP89xKA&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Twisted Sister’s announcement described Snider’s departure as sudden and unexpected, confirming that the health-related decision led directly to the cancellation of the anniversary celebration.

Snider's account shared a separate statement after the cancellation announcement:

' A lifetime of legendarily aggressive performing has taken its toll on Dee Snider’s body and soul. Unbeknownst to the public (until now) Snider (70) suffers from degenerative arthritis and has had several surgeries over the years just to keep going, able to only perform a few songs at a time in pain.'

'Adding insult to injury, Dee has recently found out the level of intensity he has dedicated to his life’s work has taken its toll on his heart as well. He can no longer push the boundaries of rock ‘n’ roll fury like he has done for decades. Says Snider, 'I don’t know of any other way to rock. The idea of slowing down is unacceptable to me. I’d rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self.'

'In the immortal words of Dirty Harry, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” Sadly, Dee Snider now knows his.'

Snider has long been Twisted Sister’s most influential and recognizable member, fronting the band during its most influential years and helping define its confrontational, theatrical approach. News of his exit marked a significant moment for longtime fans, particularly given the milestone nature of the planned performances.

Both Snider and Ford emerged from the same era of hard rock and metal, navigating a scene that demanded endurance, creativity, and media savvy.

Ford herself is a trailblazing force in rock music whose influence spans decades. She first rose to fame as the lead guitarist for the groundbreaking all-female band The Runaways, helping to smash barriers for women in hard rock in the 1970s. As a solo artist, Ford went on to score major success in the 1980s with platinum-selling albums and hits like 'Kiss Me Deadly' and her Grammy-nominated duet with Ozzy Osbourne, 'Close My Eyes Forever.' Known for her fantastic playing, powerful vocals, and electric stage presence, Ford has earned a lasting reputation as one of rock’s most influential female guitarists, inspiring generations of artists and securing her own place in rock history alongside trendsetters like her friend Dee Snider.

Poison Ruin (or Poison Ruïn, if you know how to type an i with umlauts) is going on tour in support of their upcoming album, Hymns from the Hills.

Often described as "medieval," "dark ages," and "badass," the Philly group blends elements of anarchistic post-punk, black metal, and classic Motorhead headbanging into blasts of rock fury. A week after the band releases their third album—out Apr 03, via Relapse Records–they'll wreak havoc throughout North America.

Billed as a North-East American Tour, Poison Ruin's campaign begins with a show at New York City's Bowery Ballroom on Apr 11, before carving a path through Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. After stops in Montreal and Toronto, the band returns to the U.S., visiting cities like Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Richmond before returning to their home of Philadelphia on May 02.

Opening bands on the road include The Serfs, Peace Talks, Cruelster, and Marked Men (Philly only). The tour's kickoff show will feature performances by Prision Postumo, Dollhouse, and Savage Pleasure.

 Poison Ruin began in the mind of frontman Mac Kennedy, who saw it as a personal project before expanding it into a full band with drummer Allen Chapman, guitarist Nao Demand, and bassist Will McAndrew.

"The idea was that I wanted to have a project that had a wide range of sound, but therefore needed something to unify it," Kennedy told Stereogumin 2023. "I was trying to figure out some kind of symbolism or overarching idea that could tie everything together — musically, lyrically, and with the [visual] art."

"We look at [medieval] times as symbols of brutality and toiling and daily struggle; people turning to religion or intangible things as a way to cope or carry through," he added. "And all of those things are as present and constant in everyone I know's daily lives as whatever peasant with a hood on is being imagined."

Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday, Feb. 13, at 10 AM local time.

Piers Morgan is not on the same page with Donald Trump regarding Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.

After the president spoke out on Truth Social to denounce Bad Bunny's performance as "absolutely terrible" and "one of the worst, EVER" Morgan directly addressed Trump to share his own perspective, writing in a post on X (formerly Twitter), "Couldn’t disagree more, Mr President. I absolutely loved Bad Bunny’s halftime show."

Morgan went on to praise Bad Bunny by calling his performance "Amazing," and possibly the "best in Super Bowl history?"

He also applauded several specific highlights from the show, including the level of "theatre and "choreography," as well as the "great energy" from everyone on the field and Bad Bunny's "superbly confident performance."

Morgan also praised the Puerto Rican artist for promoting a "very welcome unifying message" within the show, during which a billboard in the background read, "The only thing stronger than hate is love." At one point, Bad Bunny was also holding a football that read the words, "Together, we are America."

Plus, Morgan also pointed out that "Spanish is 1st language for 50m+ Americans!" despite Trump's claims that Bad Bunny's performance was a "'slap in the face' to our Country."

"Nobody understands a word this guy is saying," Trump wrote in his Truth Social post on Sunday night, further calling the halftime performance an "affront to the Greatness of America."

Bad Bunny has cleared his Instagram feed one day after a historic Super Bowl performance.

The entertainer removed all of his posts on his social media feed. He only left a link to his new album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos , as a part of his bio.

The entertainer did not reveal why he deleted his social media page. His profile photo was also wiped clean, leaving over 50 million followers in the dark.

The move appears to be shocking after the entertainer delivered a culturally rich Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring a plethora of guest stars and performances by Lady Gagaand Ricky Martin. The decision added an unexpected postscript to an otherwise high-profile appearance.

Special guests included stars from the world of film, music, and podcasting. These celebrities included Cardi B, Alix Earle, Jessica Alba, Pedro Pascal, and Karol G, who danced as the entertainer sang "Yo Perreo Sola." 

Reddit quickly filled with reactions to the social media blackout. Some believed it signaled new music, while others thought the cleanout was meant to limit comments.

One fan wrote, "That would be such a baller move from him if he put a new album already right after the Super Bowl." A second penned, "Tour incoming probably."

A third Redditor believes, "Perhaps to turn off commenting from people who were complaining about the halftime show." A fourth fan wondered, "Maybe he’s getting ready to announce a song for the World Cup?"

Despite the confusion, Bad Bunny's message was clear during his halftime performance. He sang in front of a sign that read, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

At the performance's conclusion, after looking at the cameras and saying “God Bless America,” Bad Bunny named countries such as Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, the United States, and Canada, as a way to show unificaiton.

The reason behind Bad Bunny’s sudden Instagram deletion remains a mystery. Whatever the motive, fans and followers are eagerly watching for what comes next.

On day seven of the search for Nancy Guthrie, authorities arrived at the home of her oldest daughter, Annie Guthrie, to look for clues in the case. Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, both live in the home, which is about four miles from Nancy's home in the Tucson, Arizona area.

Prior to her disappearance, authorities say that Nancy took an Uber to her daughter and son-in-law's home for dinner on Saturday, Jan. 31. Later in the evening, Cioni drove Nancy back home, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Authorities believe that Nancy was abducted from her home in the middle of the night.

Journalists who have been covering the case on the ground reported that investigators showed up at Annie and Cioni's house on Saturday night. They stayed for nearly three hours, searching the home and taking pictures, this according to flashes seen inside the home from the street. Upon leaving, the deputies were photographed wearing blue gloves and carrying bags that contained evidence.

According to NBC News, the search of Annie's home was "consented to," which means they did not need to obtain a warrant.

Former CIA and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told People magazine that authorities were carrying "evidence processing tools" in a white case and she confirmed that the brown bag seen being carried by one of the deputies "is for evidence."

Monday, Feb. 9 brings another level of urgency to the case as an unverified ransom note contains a deadline of 5 p.m. for the Guthrie family to pay $6 million to a Bitcoin account. As far as the public is aware, the person or persons behind Nancy's disappearance have not shared any proof of life with the family.

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, 84, remains missing nine days after the abduction from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and a retired FBI agent recently speculated about a small detail in the ransom note.

On Feb. 8, retired FBI agent Michael Harrigan spoke with the New York Post about the ongoing search for Nancy. He commented on one of the ransom notes, which has a deadline of 5 p.m. Feb. 9, specifying that $6 million should be paid in U.S. dollars.

“If you’re domestic, why would you ever put ‘USD?’ You put 6 million,” Harrigan pointed out.

“Why would you use that if you’re a domestic person?" he continued. "That points to somebody who might be potentially outside the country." That tiny detail, Harrigan, argued, "lends the potential for this being a scam."

On Saturday, Feb. 7, Savannah and her siblings, Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie, released another chilling video in an attempt to communicate with Nancy’s captor. In it, Savannah vowed, “We will pay.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) has been searching for Nancy since Feb. 1; she was last seen on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 31, at her home. Ultimately, the PCSD declared her Tucson residence a crime scene, determining that she had been “taken” from her residence “against her will.” Law enforcement also confirmed that the blood discovered at Nancy’s home belonged to her.

Investigators have since returned to Savannah’s mom’s home several times to collect evidence. A video of a vehicle of interest was submitted to law enforcement, in addition to agents finding a camera on the roof of Nancy’s home. Most recently, an agent was spotted with a "silver briefcase" while entering the residence. The FBI also made a strategic move across several states as the search continues.

Nancy has still not been found following the surfacing of multiple alleged ransom notes and her family sending several public video messages to the captors.

Those with any information about Nancy’s missing case are advised to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

When it comes to cohabitating in a relationship, sacrifices have to be made. Kaley Cuoco revealed how she and fiancé Tom Pelphrey made a tweak in the bedroom that has changed their sleeping habits and relationship for the better.

The Big Bang Theory star appeared on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, spilling on her decision to tell Pelphrey that they should sleep in separate beds, and even separate rooms. It was largely due to their drastically different sleeping schedules that led Cuoco to "tiptoe" around her fiancé in the morning.

"He writes at night. He reads. It’s his quiet time," the Vanishing star explained. "So he’s up late and wakes up late on a non-working day. We established this from day one. I go to bed early, and I wake up early."

Cuoco admitted that between their 2-year-old daughter in bed, their multiple rescue dogs, and their sleep schedule, she finally had enough. The actor revealed she was hesitant to go through with her idea and what people would think of them.

Pelphrey ultimately came to her rescue in validating her decision in the scope of their hectic lives, with Cuoco saying it was the "best" thing they could have done as a couple.

"He’s like, 'I never see you at night.' I don’t see him. It's not our sexy time. We don’t cuddle. We don't see each other at night. He goes, 'Why do you care?' And I sat there and I went, 'God, I don't care.' And he goes, 'Let’s try it,'" she explained.

Shepard added that their generation growing up didn't see partners sleeping separately; it wasn't modeled during their childhood. When asked if her hesitation to go through with separate sleeping arrangements stemmed from her failed prior relationships, Cuoco openly confirmed it.

Cuoco was married to tennis star Ryan Sweeting from 2013 to 2016, before marrying Karl Vook in 2018. She and Cook made headlines for living in separate homes until their divorce in 2022. The Big Bang Theory actor met Pelphrey that same year at the Ozark premiere, welcomed their daughter a year later, and got engaged in 2024.

The music and costumes on Bridgerton are unique. The Netflix series takes place during the Regency era, but has modern twists. Season 4 is loosely inspired by Cinderella, with Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) sneaking into a masquerade party. The princess has been portrayed wearing powder blue, and Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) wore a similar color in season 1. The show's costume designer addressed the color associated with the romantic series.

Netflix

Some consider the blue Sophie and Daphne as "Bridgerton Blue." John Glaser told Town & Country that another color represents the large family. "I did season one and I made the color palettes," Glaser said. "There is no Bridgerton blue. That’s a misconception. We always said the Bridgertons were silver and blue and the Featheringtons were acid colors, but if you look at the Bridgertons, their livery are mauve."

Benedict (Luke Thompson) immediately falls in love with Sophie at the ball. However, he didn't see her face and got little to no information about her. Benedict kept her silver glove and had Lady Bridgerton announce his search for the mysterious "Lady in Silver." That makes Sophie similar to the Bridgerton family despite her being lower class. Sophie is an illegitimate child and works as a maid.

Pantone released a color called Bridgerton Blue. Glaser's assistant, George Sayers is more open to the color concept based on the series. "We have been encouraged to use it, keep the family in blue," he said. The blue goes well with silver. Lady Violet (Ruth Gemmell) also wore a silver mask and dress at the masquerade ball.

The mother hires Sophie as a maid later in the season. Her work outfit is mauve. The trailer for season 4, part 2, shows Sophie telling Lady Violet she is quitting. The mother becomes suspicious of her background. Their silver costumes might be foreshadowing how their paths align. Part 2 premieres on Netflix on February 26.

The lights of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara hadn't even dimmed before the internet began dissecting every inch of Bad Bunny’s historic Super Bowl LX halftime performance. While the set was a high-energy explosion of reggaetón and salsa, it was a quiet, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment at the very end that left the world talking. As the final chords echoed, the Puerto Rican superstar held up a football with a handwritten message: "Together We Are America." For many, it was a celebratory slogan. For others, it was a geography lesson delivered on the world’s biggest stage.

Bad Bunny transformed the field into a lush landscape of sugarcane stalks and roadside stands, and brought a piece of his home turf to the Northern California stadium. The performance was a revolving door of A-list cameos, with Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Karol G, and Pedro Pascal all spotted dancing outside "La Casita"—a salmon-pink replica of a traditional Puerto Rican home.

The 13-minute set featured a surprise salsa version of "Die With a Smile" with Lady Gaga and a high-octane appearance by Latin music legend Ricky Martin. From a live wedding taking place on stage to vendors selling piraguas (shaved ice), the imagery was a vibrant love letter to Hispanic culture that charmed viewers.

The phrase on the football was about unity and identity. In the final moments of his performance, Bad Bunny shouted "God Bless America" before listing countries across North, Central, and South America—including Colombia, Venezuela, and Canada—placing the United States at the very end of the roll call.

On Reddit, fans were quick to explain the deeper meaning behind the "Together We Are America" sentiment. “He’s referring to all parts of America: North, Central, and South,” one user noted. “Together, we are one America.” Another fan added context often taught in schools outside the U.S.: “América is the continental mass... We are all americanos in that sense. The US is just that, the US.”

For many viewers, the imagery felt like a defiant reclamation of a word that has become a political lightning rod. As one commenter put it: “I feel like this was his moment to humanize Hispanics in a moment of time where they’re being dehumanized.”

Despite some pre-game backlash regarding the entirely Spanish-language setlist, the numbers tell a different story. Early reports suggest Bad Bunny’s performance smashed viewership records with a staggering 135.4 million viewers, officially making it the most-watched halftime show in history—surpassing last year's headliner, Kendrick Lamar.

By weaving personal touches—like his custom jersey featuring his family name, Ocasio, and the number 64—into a grand statement of continental unity, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio proved that music speaks a universal language. One fan, thrilled by the performance, commented on an Instagram photo of the football, "The last two minutes of the show was absolutely beautiful."

Ricky Martin was visibly moved after taking part in Bad Bunny's historic Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, and he made it clear that his feelings ran deep. After stepping off the stage at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the 54-year-old Puerto Rican pop icon took to social media to express just how powerful the experience was for him.

"They have to give me several hours to process the tsunami of emotions I am feeling," he wrote, acknowledging that he needed time to process everything he'd just lived through.

Martin's heartfelt message came alongside photos and video highlights from backstage, including touching moments shared with both Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga. In the images, the camaraderie among the artists is easy to see, showing how much the evening meant to him personally and professionally.

His emotional reaction reflects not just the excitement of performing on one of the world's biggest stages, but also the cultural significance of the moment. Bad Bunny's set was the first predominantly Spanish-language halftime performance in Super Bowl history, celebrating Puerto Rican culture and Latin music. Martin's presence bridged generations of Latin pop music—from his own blockbuster global hits to Bad Bunny's current influence—creating a multigenerational moment of pride and shared heritage.

"Probably none of this wonderful stuff would be happening if it weren't for all the groundwork you laid, andBad Bunny knows it," one fan wrote. "AMAZING! We love you!"

Others shared their pride, as well.

"So proud of you!" one fan wrote. "It was beautiful."

"What a breathtaking performance tonight!" another wrote. "Beyond words... flawless! A true display of greatness!"

In thanking Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, the NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation, Martin's post was a love letter to unity, collaboration, and cultural celebration. He clearly recognized that this wasn't just another performance, but a milestone in music and representation. It was about history, pride, and the powerful emotional impact of celebrating Latin identity on one of the world's largest stages.

Everyone has their favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, whether you're partial to a polished classic like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or a more unique flavor combination like the Tonight Dough or Cherry Garcia.

As many great flavors as there are within the company's expansive lineup, more than a few great flavors wound up receiving little serious attention from mainstream shoppers, ultimately leading the flavor to be laid to rest in Ben & Jerry's literal Flavor Graveyard.

In spite of their discontinuation, these underrated flavors continue to command loyal fan followings, with even Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen confessing his hopes that they one day make a comeback.

Sitting down for a lengthy conversation with us over Zoom, the 74-year-old Cohen shared his thoughts on the most underrated Ben & Jerry's flavor the company has ever produced, along with a few flavors that mystifyingly ended up in the Flavor Graveyard.

"At the very beginning, we had a flavor called Mocha Walnut that I thought was great," Cohen said when asked about the most underrated Ben & Jerry's flavor.

"It wasn't too sweet; it had some subtlety to it, but we ended up getting complaint letters on it. Half the people said that the mocha had too much chocolate, and the other half said it had too much coffee. [In terms of] flavors that didn't really get as successful as I think they should have, that's the one that stands out to me."

Among Ben & Jerry's original ice cream flavors, Mocha Walnut first found its way into the company's lineup back in the late 1970s. Sadly, the poor sales of the flavor eventually resulted in the ice cream being discontinued.

Nowadays, Ben & Jerry's Flavor Graveyard holds more than 30 flavors from the brand's past, including such retired flavors as Wavy Gravy, Holy Cannoli, White Russian and more.

As Cohen humorously pointed out, "I think that somebody could start a really good business based on making flavors from the Flavor Graveyard."

Singer Brooke Josephson took to Instagram to announce she and her husband, producer Barry Josephson, are going through a divorce as news of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein were recently revealed.

The singer and actress, who is known for roles in Enchanted, Life As We Know It, and Someone Marry Barry, shared a typewritten message on her Instagram page that revealed a personal update about her marriage to Josephson, an executive producer for the popular TV series Bones, whom she wed in 2007. Court documents reveal that Barry Josephson filed for divorce from Brooke in December 2024.

"In light of recent events in the news this week, I am prepared to share a personal update. Barry Josephson and I are going through a divorce," Josephson wrote. "I was not aware of Barry's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during our entire marriage. I respectfully request privacy and prayers for our children and I during this time. Thank you to all who have shown compassion and respect."

Josephson's emails with the late sex offender became public last week and revealed a friendship that extended long after the financier was convicted in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution and other charges, Deadline reported. Josephson borrowed over $330,000 from Epstein in 2011 and 2012 to settle tax bills, and chatted casually with Epstein about a “young, attractive” woman with an “insane rack” he thought Epstein should hire as an assistant, the piece continued. Epstein encouraged Josephson to hire certain women for acting roles.

Josephson shared a statement in which he said he regretted his involvement with Epstein.

“There’s no excuse for what I said in some of my emails,” Josephson said in a statement, The Wrap reported. “The language was crude and juvenile, and I’m ashamed. While I did attend social events with Epstein, and he did visit my sets twice, I never traveled with on his plane, visited his island or saw him in the company of minors.”

“In my 47 years working in the entertainment industry, I’ve encountered thousands of people," he continued. "My biggest regret, bar none, is that I foolishly believed his denials of wrongdoing. I was impressed by his circle of acquaintances from varied industries, and it blinded me. I apologize to all who were hurt by this clearly terrible and depraved individual.”
