Reggae legend Bob Marley would have turned 81 on Friday, and in celebration of his father, Grammy-winning singer Ziggy Marley has dropped the new song “Many Mourn For Bob.”
The track is the first song Ziggy has ever written specifically dedicated to his father, who passed away in 1986 at age 45, when Ziggy was 12. An accompanying video features photos of Bob from Ziggy’s childhood.
According to a press release, Ziggy was inspired to write the song while producing the 2024 Marley biopic Marley: One Love.
“‘Many Mourn For Bob’ is a reflection on my father from the deepest parts of my heart and subconscious mind born from rediscovering him with new eyes,” says Ziggy.

Lady Gaga headlined the Super Bowl in 2017, but she says she doesn’t feel like she could offer any advice to Sunday night’s headliner, Bad Bunny.
In an email interview with People, Gaga said, “Honestly, I don’t think he needs any [advice] from me. He knows who he is, and that’s the only thing that matters when you step onto that stage. All he has to do is be the beautiful person he already is, and the world will feel his heart.”
Calling him a “brilliant musician” and an “incredibly kind human being,” Gaga added that she was “moved to tears” by his Grammy night speech, in which he said that love is more powerful than hate. “We need more artists willing to use the biggest moments to speak the truth,” she noted.
Gaga also shared with People her thoughts on her Super Bowl ad for Rocket and Redfin, for which she sang a new version of the theme from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”
“I am an Italian American girl who grew up in a neighborhood full of every kind of person you could imagine, and I think that’s where I first learned that belonging doesn’t mean everyone looks like you or lives like you,” said Gaga. “It means people show up for each other.”
And that’s what she thinks is more important than ever, due to there being “a lot of pain” in the U.S. right now.
“There are communities who are being targeted, families who feel invisible, young people who feel hopeless. People are hurting,” she told People. “And the answer to that hurt has to be love. It has to be showing up for your neighbors, especially the ones who feel most alone. That’s what Mister Rogers taught us.”

Steve Carrell makes his return to TV comedy in the Rooster official trailer.
HBO Max has released the trailer and release date for the new original comedy series. It will debut to the streaming service on March 8. The 10-episode season will premiere a new episode each Sunday through May 10.
Carell stars as Greg Russo, a famous author who has a complicated relationship with his daughter Katie (CharlyClive).
The trailer starts with Katie, who is a college professor, saying that her husband, also a professor, has left her for a graduate student.
Greg visits the college’s campus to make sure Katie’s job is safe. This visit comes after a few incidents, such as a house fire and Katie punching her husband on-campus.
“You’re a bestselling author parents have actually heard of. We really could use your help,” the college’s president tells Greg on his visit.
Seemingly to save his daughter’s job, Greg takes on a teaching role at the school. This comes to the delight of the students, who refer to him as the hero of his book series — Rooster.
“Any time Katie has a problem, I swoop in. But I can’t fix this. I’m not Rooster,” Greg says.
“This is college,” a random college student tells him. “You can be the Rooster if you want.”
Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley and Lauren Tsai also star in the comedy, which is co-showrun by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses.

During the Apple Music Super Bowl 60 halftime show press conference in San Francisco on Thursday, headliner Bad Bunny said you don’t have to speak his language to enjoy the show he’ll put on this Sunday — you just have to be prepared to shake your booty.
Asked whether he’ll be bringing out any special guests during his performance, Bad Bunny told Apple Music’s Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe, “I don’t wanna give any spoilers. It’s gonna be fun, and it’s gonna easy and people only have to worry about dance.”
“I know that I told them that they had four months to learn Spanish,” he added, referring to what he said in his Saturday Night Live monologue. “They don’t even have to learn Spanish … it’s better if they learn to dance.”
“But I think there’s no better dance than the one that come[s] from the heart. You know, the heartbeat dance,” he continued. “That’s the only thing that they need to worry about, and have fun and enjoy.”
The singer, born Benito Ocasio, said he was grateful for the opportunity, adding, “I’m just trying to enjoy it. … That’s what I’m trying to focus [on] … and trying not to [feel] pressure.”
And while he’s personally pumped for the show, he shared, “I feel more excited about the people than even me — about my family, about my friends, people that I know that they always have believed in me. And they[‘re] happy because [of] this moment [and] the culture. And that’s what … make[s] it special.”
Bad Bunny is convinced that his performance will please his fans all around the world.
“Everyone who stopped me at the street or wherever I go, they only wish, like, good things on me,” he told reporters. “And I know that the world is gonna be happy at this Sunday, and they’re gonna have fun and they gonna dance, and they are gonna have a good time.”
But while many fans can’t wait to see Bad Bunny perform on Sunday, some conservatives have criticized the halftime show choice. They’ve targeted the Puerto Rican native’s songs, which are sung mainly in Spanish, his artistic choices and his vocal support of immigrants in the United States.
Following Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl headliner announcement, conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA announced a counterprogram halftime show, dubbed The All-American Halftime Show, featuring Kid Rock.

Local media in Italy reported that video of Mariah rehearsing has leaked on social media. It seemingly reveals that she’s preparing to sing “Volare,” an Italian song by Domenico Modugno that topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958 for multiple weeks.
The song has been covered more than 100 times by artists ranging from David Bowie to Dean Martin to Barry White, and has sold over 18 million copies worldwide.
Andrea Bocelli is also performing at the opening ceremony. Live coverage of the event will begin at 2 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, with a special presentation airing at 8 p.m. ET.
In addition to being a beloved global superstar and having her own theme park, did you know Dolly Parton runs the world’s most-visited dinner attraction?
Dolly Parton’s Stampede is set to kick off its 39th season on Friday. Visitors enjoy a four-course meal while watching an equestrian show that combines music, storytelling and comedy. Buttercup, a Highland cow, also makes her debut this season.
“When I first dreamed up my Stampede, I wanted it to have delicious food that people could feast on while being swept up in a thrilling, fun and entertaining show – something the whole family could experience together,” Dolly says. “Every time I see the show, I find myself grinning from ear to ear – watching our talented riders and beautiful horses never gets old.”
“But my favorite part? You probably won’t be surprised that it’s the ‘Butterfly Dreams’ segment,” Dolly continues. “Seeing our horses turn into magnificent butterflies is one of my dreams come to life, right there in the arena.”
There are locations of Dolly Parton’s Stampede in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and Branson, Missouri.
