Lady Gaga was accused of having ‘ozempic face’ while she showcased a slimmed-down frame as she joined Bad Bunny for his electrifying Super Bowl LX halftime show on Sunday.

‘We have to be disappointed. We have to be upset. We have to be those things together.

Seahawks lift the Lombardi TrophyStefon Diggs’ Super Bowl debut disaster: After girlfriend Cardi B’s wild week and with lawsuits looming, Patriots star endured night from hell

Alex Raskin at Levi’s Stadium: Stefon Diggs was his visual vibrant self before Super Bowl LX.

Known as Josh Allen’s favorite target in Buffalo, and to rap fans as the father of Cardi B‘s youngest boy, Diggs has surprisingly ingratiated himself in New England. So even though he’s faced an assault charge and a newly filed lawsuit in recent weeks, it wasn’t much of a surprise to see him pumping up teammates on the sideline or sharing a hug with team owner Robert Kraft.

Then came Sunday, and near silence: Just three receptions on a mere three targets as the Patriots fell 29-13 to the Super Bowl-champion Seahawks.

Sam Darnold speaks

‘It’s unbelievable. Everything that has happened in my career, to do it with this team I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m so proud of our guys. I can’t say enough great things about our defense and special teams.

‘I know we won the Super Bowl but we could have been a little bit better on offense but I don’t care about that now.

‘It’s an unbelievable feeling. I’m just so happy for the guys in the locker room and coaches who put in so much effort throughout the whole season.’

Drake Maye crushed in Super Bowl nightmare as the New England Patriots fail to move on from Tom Brady

Jack Bezants at Levi’s Stadium: The night had been perfectly set for Drake Maye to finally lead the New England Patriots out of Tom Brady‘s shadow by the man himself.

In a staggering PR misstep, Brady insulted the fanbase that once worshipped him by saying he had ‘no dog in the race’ at the Super Bowl. But even if Brady didn’t care if the Patriots won, he wouldn’t have wished this on their young quarterback.

As Maye ran out into the cool Californian air and onto the biggest stage of all, it didn’t take long to sense something wasn’t quite right.
