Jaÿ-Z reportedly might make himself the main event to perform at the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show. With Super Bowl LXI less than four months away, the announcement of who will get the coveted spot to perform during halftime has yet to be made officially. On Tuesday (Oct. 20), PUCK reported that sources tell them Hov has picked himself. According to PUCK, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were also considered. It's rumored that Jigga could announce the move during his Los Angeles concert at SoFi Stadium on Friday (Oct. 23). SoFi Stadium will also host the Super Bowl, which takes place Feb. 14. Despite not putting out an album, Jaÿ-Z has had a comeback year of sorts, performing record-breaking anniversary concerts in New York City over the summer and headlining the Roots Picnic 2026. He's also done multiple rare interviews and released the eight-part HBO docuseries, Jaÿ-Z in 8. Jaÿ-Z and Roc Nation, which serves as live music strategists for the NFL, have had a hand in picking the Super Bowl halftime show performer since 2020. For the past seven years, the Super Bowl halftime show performer has been announced in September, except The Weeknd in 2021, who wasn't revealed until November. XXL has reached out to Jaÿ-Z's team for comment.

Due to a lack of female supporters, Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has resorted to using AI to transform middle-aged men into attractive young women. This AI-generated creation has been dubbed the "Bolsonaro Bombshell."

Andy Burnham has rejected Jeremy Corbyn’s call for an inquiry to be held into the UK’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. The former Labour leader wrote to the prime minister in July, calling on him to back a Chilcot-style inquiry to examine military cooperation with and arms sales to Israel since October 2023.. The government rejected that call in response to a written question in parliament on Monday, arguing there were “extensive mechanisms already available for parliamentary accountability and oversight”. Burnham has continued the policy of his predecessor Keir Starmer by allowing the sale of military equipment to Israel, in defiance of widespread calls for a full arms embargo, including by UN experts. Military flights to Israel from UK bases have also continued since Burnham became prime minister. Starmer’s government decided to suspend 30 arms export sales to Israel in September 2025, but the UK continues to send components of F35 fighter jets, which have been used to bomb Gaza. A UN commission found earlier this year that Israel is committing genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children. Israel has killed more than 70,000 civilians in the territory since 2023. The Chilcot inquiry was a years-long investigation into Tony Blair’s decision to go to war in Iraq. As an MP, Burnham was among those who voted in favour of the invasion, which led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. Burnham has sought to distinguish himself from Starmer by saying Labour “got it wrong” on Gaza. His government has also announced sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. “Andy Burnham rightly said that the last Labour government 'got it wrong' over Gaza,” Corbyn wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “But his words will mean very little if he doesn't break with the last government's shameful record of complicity, secrecy and evasion.” He added: “Delaying scrutiny will not make questions about British complicity in genocide disappear.”

BREAKING: 🇫🇷 🇮🇱 Netanyahu has just said that “Hamas” is on the streets of Paris 🤦🏻‍♂️ Zionists are also on national news saying “Jewish business and synagogues are being targeted” IT’S ALL LIES. Israel created this crisis with the Iran war. Now they are creating the psyop to discredit the people’s backlash. And next, “the solution” will be flock cameras and social credit score policies to “maintain democracy.” We are all being manipulated by this apartheid parasite and the Epstein class generals across the military, technical, media and industrial complexes.
