On Thursday, DJ Tiësto made the difficult decision to cancel his appearance as the official DJ for Super Bowl Lviii, citing a “personal family emergency.” The announcement was made via Tiësto’s social media channels merely three days before the highly anticipated event.
Tiësto shared, “Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning. It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first. Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration and looking forward to working with them to deliver something incredible together in the future!”
An NFL representative confirmed to Variety that a replacement for Tiësto is being arranged, although there are no further details at this time.
Traditionally, the Super Bowl has featured a guest “in-game” DJ through the pregame warmups of the players. DJ Khaled set the trend in Miami,...

Washington — The Kennedy Center Honors was a decidedly tuneful affair, with musical talents representing four of its five recipients – vocalists and/or songwriters Dionne Warwick, Renée Fleming, Queen Latifah and Barry Gibb — along with actor/comedian/filmmaker Billy Crystal.
The program, in its 46th year, followed the traditional format that showcases tributes to each honoree by artists and celebs whose identities are undisclosed in advance. It kicked off with a lively parade of dancers down the aisles, led by emcee and former honoree Gloria Estefan and accompanied by Sheila E on drums — a first for the event. Produced again by Done and Dusted Inc., it will air Dec. 27 on CBS.
Omitted this year was one familiar staple at the event – the inclusion of brief video biographies of each honoree that emphasized their childhoods and routes to success. Instead, minimal use of videos embellished career highlights.

Wednesday night’s Very Good+ Night of Comedy benefit for Jessica Seinfeld’s Good+ Foundation was mostly an evening of laughs supplied by stand-up sets from comedians Amy Schumer, Kevin Hart, Ronny Chieng, Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld.
But Jessica Seinfeld took time at the top of the event to speak about the Israel-Hamas war that has been dominating the news since Hamas’ deadly, surprise terrorist attack Oct. 7.
“I want to take a moment to acknowledge the suffering of Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza and Israel,” she said to applause from a packed audience at New York’s Carnegie Hall.
For me, one light in the middle of all of this darkness is being here together with all of you,” she said, “To quote the great Pete Davidson on [Saturday Night Live] last weekend, ‘Sometimes comedy is a helpful way through tragedy.'”

Minnesota lawmakers have voted to honor Prince by naming one of the state’s highways after the iconic artist.
The purple signs will be going up on a seven-mile stretch of highway that will now be designated the Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway. Located in the Minneapolis suburbs of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie, it will run right past Paisley Park, Prince’s 65,000-square-foot complex which now operates as a museum, event venue, and recording studio. Information as to when the signs will literally go up is forthcoming, and will be announced soon.
The bill earned unanimous approval from the Minnesota House of Representatives last month on the seventh anniversary of Prince’s death, and was passed by the Minnesota Senate 55-5. It is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Tim Walz.

Fifty of the state’s senators voted in favor of the measure, with five Republicans who probably never enjoyed a day of their lives voting against it, The Associated Press reports; the state’s House, on the other hand, voted unanimously in favor of it (a true “Housequake” as Prince might have called it.

Ain’t No Mo’, playwright Jordan E. Cooper’s acclaimed but struggling Broadway comedy, has extended its run for another week and will now play through Friday, December 23, at the Belasco Theatre.
