Summary
Kid Rock is set to headline an unofficial Super Bowl halftime show for conservatives who don’t like Bad Bunny, the mascots for the 2026 Winter Olympics have been revealed, and Chicago residents can visit http://Chicagoshovels.org to vote to name their new snow plow after Stephen Colbert. President Trump is publicly campaigning for Republicans to take control of elections away from the states, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said “the American people need to understand that it isn’t a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.” Acclaimed actor Mark Ruffalo traces his rebellious nature from his early days clowning around in Kenosha, Wisconsin, all the way through to his acting career where he’s not afraid to fib about his skills in an audition. Then Mark Ruffalo offers a sneak peek at the action in his new film where he plays a jewelry thief alongside co-stars Halle Berry and Chris Hemsworth. “Crime 101” is in theaters next Friday.
