Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Bowen Yang was not happy about Nikki Haley making that appearance on SNL, and honestly: Team Yang. (He’s since removed the post, btw.) He has a history of being the moral conscience of the show since joining in 2019.
You know who is not mad at Taylor Swift becoming a part of the NFL universe? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Here are all of the bets you can make about Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl. Somehow I doubt she’ll be announcing her pregnancy at the Big Game but stranger things have happened, I suppose.
Carl Weathers had filmed a Super Bowl commercial for FanDuel before his death. The sports betting site says they are adjusting the ad, but Weathers will still appear in it.

The Bachelor‘s Instagram page mixed up two Asian contestants. That’s not a great look, guys. Pull it together.
It’s an unofficial My Name is Earl reunion and oh my God we’re so old.
Prince Harry, being a good son, has traveled back to the U.K. to see his father following his cancer diagnosis, so of course that snake Megyn Kelly is accusing him of going to “stick the knife” in King Charles III when he’s ill. Honestly, there’s nothing Prince Harry could do in this situation that would make the people who hate him and his wife happy: had he stayed home — which I can’t even imagine him doing — they would have screamed about him not being sufficiently supportive at a time of crisis. It’s gross.
Heal up quickly, Duff Goldman.
#MeToo
Just a week ago following his performance on Saturday Night Live, our girl Britney Spears offered an olive branch to Justin Timberlake, apologizing for writing about their relationship (and how he forced her to get an abortion) in her recent memoir, and praising his comedic talents.
And how did this little shithead respond?

It should also be noted that Janet Jackson’s fans are ALSO furious with Justin Timberlake for this, as this happened the day before the 20th anniversary of the “wardrobe malfunction.” But considering a Page Six article claiming that Timberlake was “seething” that the Britney drama was overshadowing his big music comeback came out the same day this video was filmed makes me think he wasn’t thinking about Janet Jackson at all. Grow up, dude, you’re not the victim here.
Jonathan Majors’ sentencing in his domestic violence case has been postponed with a new date not scheduled yet.
The Atlantic has suspended longtime contributor Yascha Mounk after writer Celeste Marcus alleged he raped her in 2021. He has denied the allegations.
Vince McMahon is now being investigated by the feds. GOOD.
The toxic Star Wars nerds gave Daisy Ridley ulcers. This is the least surprising thing I’ve read all week.
