Carrie Underwood is one of the most recognizable stars on the planet. However, based on the most recent updates making the rounds, many fans say the star doesn’t look the same. So, what happened?
Carrie Underwood Is One Of The Biggest Stars On The Planet
Carrie Underwood may have gotten her start on American Idol, but, since winning her season nearly two decades ago, she has carved out her place as one of the most popular and most respected names in country music. She has churned out hit after hit, and her fanbase continues to grow with each passing year.
After all the years she put in to get to where she is, and build the kind of following she has, it would be easy to kick her feet up and decide to take it easy. Luckily for Carrie Underwood fans, she hasn’t decided to do that, as...

Netflix made some noise in the unscripted world when it hired Jeff Gaspin, the former NBCUniversal chief, as its new defacto reality boss earlier this year.
The hire ostensibly signaled that the streamer wanted to step up its unscripted efforts and take on the broadcast networks when it comes to buying big entertainment formats.
During his time as NBC’s head of alternative entertainment, he developed series including The Apprentice, The Biggest Loser and Deal or No Deal and after his promotion, his last act as Chairman of NBC Universal Television was buying The Voice, which other than The Masked Singer, was arguably the last major entertainment format to breakthrough on the broadcast nets.
Netflix is now doubling down on efforts to find its version of The Voice.
“The difference from the past is we want to focus on bigger formats, more of what you would call broadcast-style shows versus the cable style shows.

Shannon Sharpe arrives promptly at noon at the South Beverly Grill, a short drive from his home in Holmby Hills. He is 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, a wall of muscle sheathed in black athleisure wear. He slides into his favorite booth, orders a cranberry ginger ale and offers a hello — friendly but guarded — to an awaiting journalist.
It’s usually Sharpe asking the questions — whether on his blockbuster podcasts Club Shay Shay (3.17 million YouTube subscribers) and Nightcap (1.26 million subscribers) or on ESPN’s First Take, where through the NFL season he spars good-naturedly with host Stephen A. Smith.
Sharpe, who turns 56 on June 26, shot to fame as a tight end for the Denver Broncos. He’s an NFL Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champ. But his other calling, it turns out, is talking — about sports, yes, but about many other things, too, from social issues to politics to celebrity gossip.

Despite the fact that everyone loves CBS' popular and extraordinarily long-running investigative procedural drama called NCIS, one can only be loyal to something for so long.

Tom Cruise’s status as a bonafide action star means most of his roles require a certain boldness from the actor. However, Cruise’s performance in the 2008 satirical comedy film Tropic Thunder is arguably his boldest role precisely because it goes against his star persona. In the film, Cruise plays the role of a goofy studio executive Les Grossman.
Tom Cruise as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder (2008)
One of the funniest scenes in the film depicts Grossman dancing to a hip tune. However, for Cruise to execute this scene, it required the permission of a Fast & Furious star. Given the popularity of Cruise’s role, particularly his dance routine in the film, viewers must be curious to learn why the action star required the permission of another star, and here is everything you need to know.

Tom Cruise is the ultimate master, the best, the Goat, and whatnot when it comes to acting, stunts, and action scenes. Known for performing death-defying and horribly challenging stunts in almost all of his roles, the actor’s antics hardly leave fans stunned, who by now are unbothered by the level of commitment the actor has towards his craft.

Yet, while his audaciousness in the movie business might not shock people anymore. Guests at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday bash were certainly taken aback when Cruise started breakdancing. A friend of both Victoria and David Beckham for two decades, the 61-year olds’ dancing routine ending in splits was certainly a shocker.

Rapper Ludacris posed with Katy Perry and Sza at the iHeartRadio after hosting the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday.
“You always gotta know your audience. It’s always different audiences for different events and things you do,” the rapper told Billboard before the show. “To me, iHeart is all about energy, love and they wanna see their favorite artists. I’m also — humbly speaking — performing as well. So, it’s all about the energy in the building. We gotta keep that as high as possible.”
The “Yeah!” rapper performed at the show with T-Pain.
In February, Ludacris performed with Usher at the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas alongside other artists such as Alicia Keys, H.E.R., will.i.am and Lil Jon.
Last year, the rapper went on tour with Janet Jackson for her Together Again tour to celebrate her 50th anniversary in the music industry.

Many fans of The Voice were unhappy when they watched the recent episode of NBC’s singing competition show.
While viewers expected to see a specific stage of the competition, it didn’t air this week.
The Knockouts stage performances weren’t part of the episode and will air next week on The Voice.
Instead of seeing these new performances, viewers saw highlights from previous episodes in Season 25 and a recap of the Blind Auditions and Battles.
That abrupt schedule change in the performances led to some fans venting about the show.
Viewers also speculated about the reason for the schedule change, as other significant events aired on television.

When NBC recently resurrected its long-dormant “Deal or No Deal,” it came with a new format: “Deal or No Deal Island.” The game show was originally a “shiny floor” in-studio contest where players had to guess how much money was inside a large briefcase. The updated iteration takes things outdoors, raising the stakes by adding interpersonal dynamics, physical challenges and survival to the mix.
At producer Endemol Shine North America, they call adding a fresh spin to existing IP the “Esna twist.” And it’s become a hallmark for CEO Sharon Levy, who took over the shingle — part of Banijay Americas — a little more than a year ago.

Exclusive: Justin Calen-Chenn, a staff writer on Netflix’s recent crime action series The Brothers Sun from creators Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu, has signed with M88 for management.

Not only did The Kardashians drop big news about the premiere date and new teaser, but now North West also ramped up fans. In the grand style of Kim Kardashian and Kayne West, their daughter, North shocks a huge audience with the reveal of her big news.
Co-Parenting Divides
Undoubtedly, both Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have differing parenting views. When Kim started allowing North West to post videos on TikTok, Kanye completely disagreed. Although it was a joint account between Kim and North, Kanye believed it wasn’t good for her to be on the social media platform at such an early age. But Kim felt it was a creative outlet for North to make videos while she supervised. However, there was backlash for the content of some of her videos not being age-appropriate. Additionally, there have been rifts with North preferring to stay with Kanye. At one point,...

Usher is addressing the speculation that he asked Justin Bieber to join him during the Super Bowl halftime show.
During an interview with The Breakfast Club on Friday, the singer confirmed that he did reach out to Bieber about an appearance but said that the two weren’t able to join forces onstage.
“It didn’t work out with Justin. I honor and recognize that, my brother. I think that it might’ve been the fact that he’s just wanting to tell a different story right now. And I understand that,” he explained.
He went on to share that the two did “have a brief conversation” and even though the stars didn’t align for a halftime show collaboration, “We’re gonna do something else in the future. No love lost or anything like that. It’s a lot of pressure for the Super Bowl, obviously,” Usher added.

Los Angeles, Feb 14 (Ians) Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber turned down Usher’s offer to perform at the Super Bowl VIII Halftime show.
The ‘R’n’B superstar pulled out all the stops for his performance halfway through the major sporting spectacle at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, reports Female First UK.
He was reportedly keen to get Justin, 29, on board but the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker “wasn’t up for it,” although an insider has insisted there is “no bad blood” between the pair.
A source told PageSix: “There’s no bad blood between Usher and Justin. Justin just wasn’t up for it — he just wasn’t feeling it”. Usher played a major role in the launch of Justin’s career in the late 2000s after record executive Scooter Braun had spotted the teenager singing on YouTube and convinced the ‘Yeah!’ hitmaker to meet with the budding star.

Alicia Keys gave a surprise performance at the Apple Music Super Bowl Lviii Halftime Show at Allegiant Stadium in addition to other exciting guests in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Keys wore all red and played the keys on her red piano, playing her hit, “If I Ain’t Got You,” in front of a massive crowd.
The “Girl on Fire” singer later joined halftime show headliner Usher to perform their 2004 hit “My Boo” as they danced together.
But it was Usher’s intimate embrace of Keys at the end of the performance that unsettled fans of the two married performers, with many deeming it as “offensive” and “inappropriate.”
Lil Jon and Ludacris went on stage to add more Y2K nostalgia to the show. The rappers were both featured on Usher’s “Yeah.” They celebrated Historically Black Colleges and Universities by having Jackson State University’s The South Marching Band perform with them during halftime.

Sunday’s Super Bowl drew 123.4 million viewers across CBS and Paramount+, according to preliminary numbers. That’s the most for any broadcast since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969, and the most-watched non-news telecast of all time.
Nielsen says the total number of viewers who watched any part of Super Bowl Lviii was 202.4 million, up from 2023’s 184 million.
The game was a good one — especially late — and that is the single most-important factor for a major sporting event to drive TV ratings. And yes, Taylor Swift certainly helped too.
The Kansas City Chiefs came from behind to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, 25-22. The game, which had been 10-3 in favor of the Niners at halftime, ended on a walk-off touchdown toss from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

Update: Nielsen has updated their estimate, reporting that Super Bowl Lviii reached 123.7 million viewers, up from the initial count of 123.4 million.
The Feb. 11 Super Bowl game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers brought in an average of 123.4 million viewers — the highest number of people watching the same broadcast in the history of television.
112 million of those viewers were tuned into the CBS broadcast — the largest audience ever for a single network. The rest were measured across Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports and NFL digital properties including NFL+. Per Paramount Global, Paramount+ saw record-breaking viewership that made Sunday the most-streamed Super Bowl ever, but exact data regarding streaming views isn’t available.
Before this, the biggest telecast of all time was last year’s Super Bowl game between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was initially named the third most-watched, ranking behind the 2015 and 2017 Super Bowls...

In the opening note of the song, many fans heard Keys’ voice crack. Clips of the vocal stumble spread across the internet, but many later noticed it was missing from the official recording of the performance later uploaded to YouTube.
Online, many fans presented evidence of the change with side-by-side edits of the live show and pitch-corrected recording.
Reps for Keys and the NFL did not immediately respond to The Hollywood Reporter‘s request for comment.

It looks like wedding bells may be in pop star Usher’s future.
The singer and his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas last week, according to Clark County court documents obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
The big news for the couple broke Sunday as Super Bowl Lviii got under way at Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, where Usher was in the final hours before he was set to perform during the halftime show. There, he was joined onstage by special guests including Alicia Keys, H.E.R., will.i.am, Jermaine Dupri, Ludacris and Lil Jon.
The Nevada court records show that on Thursday, the couple received a certificate of marriage, but has yet to file a marriage license. So, while the first step in their nuptials has been taken, the couple is not yet married.
Aside from this major step in his personal life, it was a busy week for the singer,...

Actress Marlee Matlin has called out CBS for its Super Bowl pregame coverage, which featured virtually no airtime for the American Sign Language (Asl) performers.
“I am absolutely Shocked at @CBS for introducing the Deaf performers at today’s pregame #SuperBowl and then not showing even one second (or more) of their performance… as has been tradition for the last 30 years. Why!?” Matlin wrote in an X post on Sunday night.

Usher made a guest appearance at the Black Eyed Peas’ Super Bowl halftime show in 2011, and bandleader will.i.am says he was happy to return the favor Sunday.
Will.i.am performed “Omg” — which he wrote and produced — alongside Usher at both events.
“How can I explain it? There’s no words to really explain that,” he told The Hollywood Reporter after the performance. “Now 13 years later, it means something totally different. It’s beautiful. It was wonderful. It’s fantastic.”
As they performed “Omg,” roller skaters danced and flipped onstage. “The reason I say our section was the most ‘What the F?’ is because we’ve never seen roller skating at any type of big world stage like that. It felt like the urban Olympics. He brought the urban Olympics to the Super Bowl.”
“There were a lot of Omg moments in the show. There were so many Omg moments. That 60 seconds...

Taylor Swift celebrated Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl win with several long embraces on the field at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday night.
Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, beat the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night to win Super Bowl Lviii in Las Vegas.
During the presentation of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Swift was seen standing next to Kelce’s mom, Donna, as he spoke with CBS Sports broadcaster Jim Nantz.
She was seen smiling and clapping as the Chiefs’ tight end first busted into a few lines of Elvis Presley’s song “Viva Las Vegas” before then leading the crowd in the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right.”
After that rousing speech, Swift greeted Kelce with a long hug and several kisses on the field, as she did two weeks ago when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship Game.

Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show performance featured a celebration of his greatest hits with the help of a handful of fellow artists whom he collaborated with throughout his 20-plus-year career.

Usher’s performance featured two drum sets on stage, with a gold one left open in honor of Spears, Rolling Stone has confirmed.
Spears, who died in October 2023, served as a producer on Usher’s 2004 smash Confessions,...

The Kansas City Chiefs are still the Super Bowl champs.
The team beat the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl Lviii in overtime Sunday with a final score of 25-22. It was only the second time in NFL history that a Super Bowl game has gone into overtime, following Super Bowl Li in 2017, when the New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons.
The 2024 Super Bowl, which aired on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Super Bowl Lviii marked the Chiefs’ fourth time in five years to reach the big game. They headed into Sunday with three franchise wins: in 1970, 2020 and last year.
The 49ers, meanwhile, have won five previous Super Bowls: in 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990 and 1995.
A slew of stars were in the audience to watch the game Sunday, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Paul Rudd and LeBron James.
Commercials were selling for $7 million per half-minute spot.

Usher came to the Super Bowl to celebrate nearly 30 years of making love in this club, and that’s exactly what he did — he turned Allegiant Stadium in Vegas into his own personal seduction lair. His Super Bowl halftime show was a splashy tribute to millennial pop glitz, with a slew of hits from the 2000s and guest stars to match, running from Alicia Keys to Ludacris to will.i.am to the show-stealing Lil Jon. Usher tagged the show to the 20th anniversary of his classic Confessions, without reaching...
