According to Hamilton, Bad Bunny — who climbed a utility poll without any safety guardrails — was determine to do his stunts on his own terms.

"He refused to wear a harness," said the Halftime Show's director. "He was like, 'I don't need it.' There are all kinds of legal ramifications to that, which is not really my thing, but interestingly enough, when he decided he wasn't going to wear a harness, we were able to then put a camera on the pole to look down at him climbing up!"

The show's creative director Harriet Cuddeford noted that there "was all safety and rigging and all of that available," however, Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, "didn't want it."

"He does his own stunts, that guy, and he learned it in about three minutes," she said. "Straight up that pole. At rehearsal, we were all like, 'Is he gonna be OK?' But he just went straight up there, and managed his vocals. Very agile. He could just, like, handle anything."

Cuddeford then opened up about the moment when the roof of La Casita collapsed and the 31-year-old rapper and singer fell through it.

"The stunt itself, to fall through the roof, wasn't so crazy — there's a trap door," Cuddeford said. "They just literally open it, and pull it out underneath him."

However, according to her, "it required so much meticulous planning, because we cut straight into the pre-tape."

"Inside the pre-tape was the shot on the TV of him falling through the roof of the Super Bowl — so the family in the La Casita were watching the Super Bowl live, and then he fell onto their table," Cuddeford said.

She continued, "That's basically two different pre-tapes: The pre-tape inside the house, and then there's the pre-tape on the field of him falling through the roof during the dress rehearsal. And then comping that all together, then cutting to the transition of him falling through the roof and be able to kick the front door open."

On Sunday, Feb. 8, Bad Bunny made history as the first artist to perform a Super Bowl Apple Music Halftime Show entirely in Spanish.

During the show's La Casita segment, there were celebrity appearances byPedro Pascal,Cardi B,Jessica Alba,Karol G,Young Miko,Cardi Band more.

Later in the show,Lady Gagaappeared as a surprise guest to perform a salsa rendition of her hit "Die with a Smile," andRicky Martinsang Bad Bunny's "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii."

Why King Charles’ Statement on Epstein Evidence Could Potentially “End the Monarchy”

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The royals have been issuing statements connected toAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor's friendship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (denying allegationsof sleeping with trafficked teenagers) as far back as 2015—but now, there's been a noted shift in tone from the Palace.

This week, a Palace spokespersonsaid, "The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct. While the specific claims in question are for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect."

But is that enough to save the monarchy from complete disrepair? According to some senior U.S. government officials (and members of the public), it may not be.

Ro Khanna, part of the committee investigating the Epstein scandal, called on King Charles and Queen Camilla to step forward and give evidence, as well as Andrew, saying this could be "the end of the monarchy."

In aSky Newsinterview, Khanna said, "I think this is the most vulnerable the British monarchy has ever been. They ought to ask the King and Queen questions and maybe this will be the end of the monarchy."

He continued, "If they don't have answers, if they're implicated in the Epstein class, it's not a good look for the British monarchy. The King has to answer what he knew, what he knew about Andrew, and just stripping Andrew of a title is not enough.

"Andrew needs to come before our committee and start answering questions. I don't think the appropriate punishment is you no longer get to be a prince. There's got to be more than that."

The King and Queen were heckled about Andrew—and how much they knew about his involvement with Epstein—during a visit to Dedham, an Essex village, last week, showing some members of the public appear to feel similarly.

Prince William and Kate Middleton also issued an unexpected statement in connection to the Epstein files this week, ahead of William's visit to Saudi Arabia. A spokespersonsaid, "I can confirm the Prince and Princess have been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain focussed on the victims."

Speaking towards the end of last year, royal biographer and formerVanity Faireditor, Tina Brown, pointed out many are also questioning the late Queen Elizabeth II's role in protecting Andrew following the initial allegations of wrongdoing.

"The fact is that she has quite a lot to answer for with Andrew, is the truth," Brownsuggested. "Because The Queen enabled Andrew in a really terrible way. He was her favorite. She protected him and mommy was his only client, essentially. She was the one who protected him so, unfortunately, it made him worse."

Elsewhere, the Norwegian royal family has also been criticized over its connections to Epstein, as the Crown Princess, Mette-Marit, had correspondence exposed in the recent Epstein files release. Mette-Marit's son (whose father is someone she had a relationship with prior to marrying into the royal family), Magnus, has also been on trial for rape in recent weeks.

Mette-Marit issued astatementsaying she has the "deepest regret for my friendship with Jeffrey Epstein" and apologized for "the situation that I have put the royal family in, especially the King and Queen."

Will the monarchy be able to survive yet another scandal of this intensity?

They crossed paths several times in the years to follow, including being pictured together at theWSJ. MagazineInnovator Awards in 2021 and again atPharrell Williams' debut show as the creative director for Louis Vuitton menswear in 2023.

The racer said it's been "complicated," noting that while he's seen other drivers get married, date and have children, he made a "different choice."

"I don't want any regrets, or to think I could have given more," he continued. "As long as I'm competing, I remain focused on my health, my well-being, my mental health, and my driving technique. I want to be the best engineer I can be and the best teammate too. That's my main goal: I want to win."

I haven't had time — and I'm okay with that. I thought, 'You know what? I'm going to be studying. I won't have time. When I'm done, I'll open myself up.' "

Irish man held by ICE says he had U.S. work permit, fears for his life

An Irish man who has lived in the U.S. for nearly 20 years has been detained by U.S. immigration officials for almost five months despite insisting he had a valid U.S. work permit and a pending green card case as the spouse of an American citizen. Seamus Culleton has said he fears for his life due to the conditions in the detention center where he's being held in Texas.

Seamus Culleton, who lived in Boston, is being held at theEl Paso Camp East Montana, an ICE detention facility inside the Fort Bliss Army base in Texas, according to the agency's detainee locator system. Speaking to Irish state broadcaster RTÉ in a phone interview Monday from the detention center, Culleton described life at the camp as a "nightmare."

"You don't know what's going to happen on a day-to-day basis. You don't know if there's going to be riots, you don't know what's going to happen," he told RTÉ. He characterized the detention facilities as "a bunch of temporary tents."

Culleton said he had rarely been outside in the five months since his arrest.

"I have barely any outside time, no fresh air, no sunshine. We have two TVs on the wall. There are 72 detainees here in total. We get three meals a day, very very small meals — kid size meals, so everybody is hungry," he said.

Culleton called the conditions "filthy" and said the toilets and showers were "completely nasty" and "very rarely cleaned."

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which ICE falls under, denied the allegations about the conditions at the Texas facility on Tuesday, with Assistant DHS Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin telling CBS News in a statement that Culleton's claims were, "FALSE. ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens."

McLaughlin confirmed that ICE agents arrested Culleton on Sept. 9, 2025, calling him "an illegal alien from Ireland" who entered the U.S. in 2009 under the tourist visa waiver program but then failed to depart the U.S. after the permitted 90 days.

"He received full due process and was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on September 10, 2025," McLaughlin said. "He was offered the chance to instantly be removed to Ireland but chose to stay in ICE custody … A pending green card application and work authorization does not give someone legal status to be in our country."

Under U.S. law, DHS can arrest people with pending immigration applications if they don't have underlying permanent immigration status, even if they have not been convicted of crimes, but under previous administrations, non-criminals with valid pending applications were rarely arrested, and officials would typically allow a green card case to play out.

McLaughlin said Culleton was offered a chance to be sent to Ireland "instantly." She claimed he "chose to stay in ICE custody, in fact he took affirmative steps to remain in detention."

Culleton has said he was going through the legal process to obtain lawful permanent residency, or a green card, and that he had a valid U.S. work permit when he was arrested. Spouses of U.S. nationals can obtain a work permit while their green card applications are processed.

Culleton, a plasterer, said that he was stopped by federal agents while driving home in early September after stopping at a store. He was followed initially by a blue Ford, and then, "out of nowhere, it seemed like there were seven or eight cars and a bunch of officers at the window of the van, telling me to roll down the window."

"They asked me if I had a green card. I said I didn't. I said I was married to a citizen and that I had a marriage-based petition in place and I was just about to receive my green card and that I had a work permit to be here and work," Culleton told RTÉ, adding that none of those details seemed to matter as the officers proceeded to detain him.

Culleton was held after "local police ran a license check on his vehicle outside a Home Depot in Massachusetts,"court records from late Januaryshow.

Estimates from the Irish government about a year ago suggested that as many as 10,000 undocumented Irish immigrants were living across the U.S. Many likely came on tourist waivers or temporary work visas but then stayed illegally in the country after those documents expired,effectively living in the shadows.

A spokesperson for the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade told CBS News on Tuesday that Irish officials were aware of Culleton's case and were providing consular assistance to him and his family.

"Our Embassy in Washington D.C. is also engaging directly with the Department of Homeland Security at a senior level in relation to this case," the spokesperson said.

In December, the American Civil Liberties Union and other human rights groups released a letter demanding the closure of ERO El Paso Camp East Montana, alleging a pattern of abuses at the camp including beatings and sexual abuse by officers against detained immigrants, beatings and coercive threats to compel deportation to third countries, medical neglect, hunger and insufficient food, and denial of meaningful access to counsel, among other alleged rights violations.

Feds remove pride flag from Stonewall, iconic site in LGBTQ+ movement

NEW YORK – First, they removed the "T" from LGBTQ+.

Now, they've taken down the rainbow flag.

The Trump administration quietly removed a large pride flag at theStonewall National Monumentin New York City in recent days, just weeks after the government issued federal guidance on the types of flags that are allowed to be flown at national parks.

Volunteer caretakers of the monument noticed that the rainbow-colored flag had been removed on Monday, Feb. 9. The flag flew from atop a pole in a park across from the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in New York's Greenwich Village that was the scene of one of the most significant events in LGBTQ+ history.

"Removing the rainbow flag from the Stonewall National Monument again makes a target of what is sacred ground for our community – and another attempted act of erasure by an administration that has relentlessly attacked the LGBTQ+ community since the day it took office," said Cathy Renna, spokeswoman for the National LGBTQ Task Force.

The National Park Service said in a statement provided to USA TODAY that, with limited exceptions, only the U.S. flag and other authorized flags are permitted on flagpoles managed by the agency. The policy was outlined in a directive the agency issued on Jan. 21. Exemptions can include flags that provide historical context, current military branch flags and the flags of federally recognized Tribal nations.

"Any changes to flag displays are made to ensure consistency with that guidance," the statement said.

The removal of the flag, which has become an internationally recognized symbol of the gay-rights movement and the hard-fought gains it has won through years of struggles, infuriated activists as well as city and state leaders.

"I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument," New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in astatementposted on X. "New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it."

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called the decision "a shameful attempt to erase our LGBTQ history."

"I will not let this administration roll back the rights we fought so hard for," she said in amessageposted on X.

The Stonewall National Monument commemorates a clash between police and members of the LGBTQ+ community that took place after officers raided the Stonewall Inn in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969. For six days, gay men and women, transgender people, bikers, street kids and others fed up with police harassment fought back. The riots are considered the spark that ignited the modern LGBTQ+-rights movement.

The Stonewall uprising is regarded as such a significant chapter in American history that President Barack Obama designated the bar's exterior, the adjacent park and the surrounding streets as a national monument in 2016, so that what happened there, and the people involved, would never be forgotten. The bar itself remains privately owned.

The Stonewall Monument is the only site within the national park system dedicated to LGBTQ+ history, which makes its preservation all the more meaningful to activists and historians.

"It's a sacred space," said Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the Manhattan borough president, who recalled that Stonewall was the first place he visited when he moved to New York City three decades ago. "You really can't overestimate its importance to generations of LGBTQ people across the world."

Stacy Lentz, one of the bar's current owners, said the administration did not give her advance notice that the flag would be removed.

"We cannot allow the government to erase a historical fact," she said. "This isn't even about the politics of it all. This is about history, and that history has to be preserved."

"Stonewall taught us that our history doesn't survive unless we defend it," she added.

The removal of the flag marks the second time the Trump administration has targeted the monument in the past year.

Early last year, just weeks after PresidentDonald Trumptook office for the second time, the administration angered LGBTQ+ activists when it stripped allreferences to transgender peoplefrom the monument's website. The administration said the change was in keeping with Trump's broader campaign to recognize the existence of just two sexes – male and female – and combat what he calls "gender ideology."

Following that decision, more than 1,000 protesters showed up at a rally to support the transgender community and challenge the administration's actions. Another rally is planned for Tuesday evening, Feb. 10, to send a message to the administration to keep its hands off the park and its history.

Hoylman-Sigal and other state and community leaders are also planning a separate event on Thursday, Feb. 12, to again raise the flag over the park in defiance of the Trump administration.

"This is a flashpoint, just as it was back in 1969, for standing up for what you believe is right," Hoylman-Sigal said.

Hope For West Snowpack? Pattern Change May Finally Bring Rain, Mountain Snow To Parts Of West

What a strange winter we have seen in the West.

Sustained warmth continued to break daily records across the region. And to top it off, there was hardly any precipitation.

(MORE:Did Winter Forget The West?)

But I have some good news for all of us. The pattern that lasted through much of the winter is finally breaking down.

And with that comes cooler temperatures and the chance for rain and mountain snow.

First Round: Through Wednesday

The first round of rain and snow is ongoing across California now.

Think of this first round as more of a nuisance than anything else. Rainfall across the lower elevations isn't expected to be extreme at this point.

But the snowfall is more significant.

Winter weather alerts are in place across the Sierra Nevada and parts of the Rockies until Wednesday afternoon. The highest snowfall totals are in the winter storm warnings, as indicated by the dark blue on the map below.

Next Week Gets Interesting

What's ongoing this week is just foreshadowing what's to come. Models are pointing to significant precipitation beginning Sunday and lasting into next week.

This will likely mean that the California snowpack will see a major boost.

This is good news, as the snowpack in California is running about 50% of where it should be at this time of the year,according to the California Department of Water Resources.

While skiers and snowboarders are rejoicing, those across lower elevations may have some concerns.

With this pattern shift, there is a chance of days of sustained rainfall across California. That also means there is an increasing flood threat for the state, especially across burn scars.

This rainfall could last for days and could bring soaking weather as far south as Los Angeles and San Diego.

(FORECAST:Los Angeles|San Diego)

Why The Shift?

Most of the winter has seen the jet stream pulling north of the West and dipping to the South in the East. This pattern leads to less rainfall and warmer temperatures out West.

The graphic below shows what will happen next week. The jet stream will continue to dip to the south across the West, leading to cooler temperatures and an influx of much-needed rain and snow.

Why The Snowpack Matters

The snowpack across the West isn't just for skiers and snowboarders. It also helps provide a freshwater source to the West in the drier months.

This is why the lack of snowfall has been so concerning. The West is dependent on snow, which they haven't been seeing.

States like Colorado are even seeing record snowfall deficits this season.

• "Their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe s--- on the planet," Bryan wrote in a follow-up post, that he also later deleted

• Turning Point USA hosted the performance as an alternative to Bad Bunny's 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show

Zach Bryanshared his candid thoughts on the Turning Point USAAll-American Halftime Showheadlined byKid Rock.

After the2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which was headlined byBad Bunnyon Sunday, Feb. 8, the "Oklahoma Smokeshow" singer shared a since-deleted photo on his Instagram Stories mocking the "All Summer Long" singer.

"What kid rock actually thinks is happening across America," Bryan, 29, wrote over a photo of someone watching Kid Rock's show on their phone while blocking Bad Bunny's performance with their hand, according to ascreenshot shared by a user on X.

In a since-deleted follow-up post, Bryan shared a DM from a social media user that accused him of turning "into a Hollywood sell out bitch quick."

"You were my favorite artist. Now you are nothing but another dumba-- out of touch elitist," the message read, according to ascreenshot shared on Instagram.

Bryan wrote over the screenshot on his Instagram Stories, "I don't care what side you're on, a bunch of adults throwing temper tantrums and their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe s--- on the planet."

Turning Point USA advertised the alternative programming as a "family-friendly, values-driven" event" created for viewers seeking uplifting, patriotic entertainment." Kid Rock, aDonald Trumpsupporter, performed alongside country singersLee Brice,Brantley GilbertandGabby Barrett.

After the show, Kid Rock, born Robert James Ritchie, wasaccused of lip-syncingwhile singing "Bawitdaba" from hisDevil Without a Causealbum.He addressed the commentary on the Feb. 10 broadcast of Fox News'The Ingraham Angle.

"It was out of sync," Kid Rock, 55, claimed, later adding that if he was lip-syncing, like his critics say, "It would've been super easy to sync it up if it was prerecorded."

"I'm jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I'm taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it… I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, 'You guys got to work on that sync. It's off,'" the musician said.

"It was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult," he added.

In addition to Bryan, fellow country singerKacey Musgravesshowed some love for Bad Bunny on social media — and wasn't afraid to shade Kid Rock in the process.

"Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done," Musgraves, 37,wrote on Xafter the performance.
