Bruno Mars hasn’t kicked off his new tour yet, but a recent online concert has earned him a Guinness World Record.

On Jan. 17, during a session of Roblox’s game Steal a Brainrot, Bruno — or at least a virtual avatar of him — performed his new hit “I Just Might” along with his 2012 hit “Locked Out of Heaven.” 

According to the Guinness World Records, 12,862,161 concurrent viewers watched the concert, setting a record for the largest music concert in a video game by a single artist. Guinness notes that audience was larger than the entire population of Sweden.

Roblox reports that 10 million livestream users tuned in to the show, which garnered 53 million social video views. A limited-edition Brainrot called “Brunito Marsito” was downloaded more than 5 million times.

The previous record was held by Travis Scott, whose 2020 Fortnite concert drew 12.3 million viewers. A 2024  Fortnite event featuring Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice and Eminem drew 14.3 million viewers, but that was multiple artists, not one performer .

For those hoping to see Bruno in real life, his The Romantic Tour starts April 10 in Las Vegas, Nevada. His new album, also called The Romantic, drops on Feb. 27.

A new set of limited-edition prints celebrating The Beatles will be released in March.

The two prints feature imagery from artist Em Cooper’s 2022 oil-painted music video for The Beatles’ 1966 song “I’m Only Sleeping,” which was created using more than 1,300 of Cooper’s hand-painted oil paintings.

The prints include “Early in the Morning,” which depicts John Lennon’s morning routine as seen at the start of the video, and “In The Middle of a Dream,” which features images of all four members of the band.

The limited-edition prints will be available through Avant Arte starting March 4 at 9 a.m. E, but only for 48 hours. More info can be found at avantarte.com.

Released in November of 2022, Cooper’s video for “I’m Only Sleeping” won a Grammy for best music video. It was released in conjunction with the 2022 reissue of The Beatles’  seventh studio album, Revolver.

Send Help was helped to a second week atop the box office by Mother Nature — and the NFL. 

The thriller by Sam Raimi took $10 million in its second week, according to Box Office Mojo, with a 47% drop in revenue from its debut. As Variety notes, Super Bowl weekend is usually slow at the box office, and below-freezing temperatures across the East Coast and the Midwest also kept people away from the theater. 

Debuting in second place was the romantic comedy Solo Mio with $7.2 million, while last week’s #2, Iron Lung, dropped to #3, taking in $6 million. Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience, a concert documentary from the superstar K-pop group, debuted at #4 with a gross of $5.56 million.

Another new debut, a remake of Dracula starring Caleb Landry Jones and Christoph Waltz, landed at #5 with $4.5 million. The only other debut in the top 10 was horror film The Strangers: Chapter 3 at #8.

Of note, Variety also reports that Marty Supreme has become A24’s highest-grossing worldwide release, taking in $147 million globally. It out-earned the studio’s previous record-holder Everything Everywhere All at Once, which has earned $142 million.

Here are the top 10 films at the box office:

1. Send Help — $10 million
2. Solo Mio — $7.2 million
3. Iron Lung –– $6 million
4. Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience — $5.56 million
5. Dracula –– $4.5 million
6. Zootopia 2 — $4 million
7. Avatar: Fire and Ash — $3.5 million
8. The Strangers: Chapter 3 –– $3.4 million
9. Shelter — $2.4 million
10. Melania — $2.37 million

Keke Palmer says playing new mom in ‘The ‘Burbs’ ‘was kind of cathartic’

Keke Palmer stars as a new mother on Peacock’s The ‘Burbs, a new take on the 1989 Tom Hanks film of the same name. The new series follows Palmer’s Samira and Rob, played by Jack Whitehall, after relocating to Rob’s childhood home, where they uncover dark secrets about the house across the street and the neighborhood.

The series filmed after Keke gave birth to her son, Leodis Jackson, and she tells E! News playing Samira helped her see her own journey from an outside perspective.

“It was just really awesome having some space between my reality and the characters,” Keke says. “Because it actually was kind of cathartic to see it from the outside looking in of like, it is really hard to reconnect with yourself after having a baby and reconnect with your partner. And I think it’s something we talk about, but we don’t talk about it enough, because it really is a thing.”

Keke notes she and Jack, who became a father in 2023, recognized their own experiences in their characters’ storylines.

“[W]e’ve been there. Where you’re nervous trying to figure out, ‘Am I being a good parent? Is this my role? And does my partner, do we have love? Did we move too fast?’” she says. “There’s all this confusion that I think a lot of new parents will relate to. And even people have been a parent for years. They’ll be like, ‘I remember that.’”

Keke also praises how the show generally addresses serious issues while “leaning in in a way that makes it fun for the audience.”

“I think that’s something that also excited me because there are a lot of stuff we’re covering in the show,” she says.

The ‘Burbs is now streaming on Peacock.

(SANTA CLARA, Calif) — Dominating the New England Patriots in a defensive game, the Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl 60, 29-13. It was the franchise’s second Super Bowl title in its history.

After a first half that had no touchdowns and ended with the Seahawks leading purely on field goal points courtesy of kicker Jason Myers, Seattle scored the first touchdown of the game in fourth quarter, bringing the Seahawks’ lead to 19-0.

The Pats eventually scored two touchdowns of their own, also in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to beat Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold and his team. Darnold is now the first starting quarterback in history to win a Super Bowl after playing with more than five teams.

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was named MVP, finishing the night with 135 rushing yards and 26 receiving yards. He’s the first running back to be named Super Bowl MVP since 1998.

Myers, meanwhile, set a Super Bowl record by scoring five field goals.

Disclosure DayJust before kick-off, Disclosure Day, an upcoming project directed by Steven Spielberg aired, giving the first glimpse at the science-fiction thriller. Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and more star in the film, due in theaters June 12.  A synopsis reads, “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.”

The Mandalorian and Grogu: The film got a brief Big Game spot, airing during the first quarter of the Super Bowl, giving us an early taste of director Jon Favreau‘s upcoming Star Wars movie. The project, due out May 22, will see Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, played by Pedro Pascal, and his young apprentice Grogu face off against the Imperial Remnant. Lucasfilm is owned by Disney, parent company of ABC News.

Bad Bunny brings Puerto Rican culture, Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin to halftime show stage

Bad Bunny brought his Puerto Rican culture to the stage at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California, during the Super Bowl halftime show, along with a collection of his hit songs, starting with “Tití Me Preguntó.”

He began the performance wearing an all-white football jersey-like outfit with “Ocasio” on the back — the star’s last name — while walking through a field of tall crops. He went on to perform a large collection of hit songs, including “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” and “NUEVAYoL” on an elaborate set that was set up to resemble a Puerto Rican neighborhood, with a barber shop, market, liquor store, men playing dominos and more.

Midway through the show, the star crashed through a roof onto a new set before continuing the show uninterrupted. We also saw a couple getting married; ABC News has confirmed it was an actual wedding.

At one point, Bad Bunny was seen paying homage to his recent success, handing a Grammy award to a young boy on stage. During the song “El Apagón,” or “The Blackout,” Bad Bunny climbed up on an electrical pole — seemingly a reference to the power failures that Puerto Rico has experienced since Hurricane Maria in 2017.

Appearing on the Jumbotron behind Bad Bunny were the words, “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE,” which is what the artist said in his acceptance speech at the Grammys.

Toward the end of the set, Bad Bunny said, “God Bless America” in English, and then reeled off the names of nearly every country in the Americas, including the U.S.A. and Puerto Rico.

Fireworks erupted at the end of the performance during a rendition of his hit song “DtMF.”

The show also included special guests Pedro Pascal, Alix Earle, Karol G, Jessica Alba and Cardi B dancing on the field, before Lady Gaga popped up to perform a Latin arrangement of her hit “Die With a Smile.” Another surprise guest, Ricky Martin, sang a part of Bad Bunny’s song “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii.”

The performance marks a turning point for the Spanish-language genre and Puerto Rican culture, something integral to the artist’s identity. Bad Bunny made history at last weekend’s Grammys when his album became the first fully Spanish-language project to win album of the year.

Green Day performed during the Super Bowl 60 opening ceremony Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The band’s set began with Billie Joe Armstrong performing a solo rendition of “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” as MVPs from past Super Bowls took the field. They then transitioned into a medley of hits from their 2004 album, American Idiot: “Holiday,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and the title track.

Armstrong notably skipped the verse in “American Idiot” where he sings, “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda,” which he has changed to “MAGA agenda” for past live performances in protest of the Donald Trump administration. He did, however, sing the lyric, “The subliminal mindf*** America.”

Armstrong did get more explicitly political during an invite-only concert Friday in San Francisco. As seen in fan-shot footage, he called out agents of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, saying, “Quit your s****y a** job.”

Greg Brown, original guitarist for Cake, has died.

“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Greg Brown’s passing after a brief illness,” the band writes in a Facebook post. His age was not given.

“Greg was an integral part of CAKE’s early sound and development,” the post continues. “His creative contributions were immense, and his presence — both musical and personal — will be deeply missed. Godspeed, Greg.”

Brown was part of the original lineup of Cake, which was founded in 1991 by frontman John McCrea. He played on Cake’s 1994 debut album, Motorcade of Generosity, and their breakthrough 1996 sophomore effort, Fashion Nugget, which spawned the Brown-written hit “The Distance.”

Brown left Cake in 1997. He briefly reunited with the band to play on a song on their 2011 album, Showroom of Compassion.
