They are here!
Celebrities, sports stars, A-list celebrities and, of course, promoters have begun descending on the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX. Of course, they came to watch America’s biggest, most-watched sporting event of the year, the epic battle between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
But these celebrities also came to entertain other famous, rich and attractive people. Maybe they also need to promote a new album, a business or a sponcon, but the Super Bowl also gives them the opportunity to be seen as important enough in the world to measure the reception in the game and its best events.
Here’s a roundup of who’s seen it so far and who hasn’t:
• After arriving in San Jose on Monday, some New England Patriots players immediately looked for something to eat, hitting an unnamed In-N-Out restaurant in the area to perhaps grab one of the fast-food chain’s famous burgers — perhaps a double-breasted style or a single-grilled one. A video posted on Instagram by TNT sports showed the quarterback Drake Mayerunning back TreVeyon Henderson and others walking around the restaurant shaking hands with friends.
• Jason Kelce stopped by Love on Haight, a Grateful Dead-inspired clothing store in Haight-Ashbury to pick up a velvet coat and tie to wear to an event in San Francisco Wednesday night that she co-hosted with her brother, Travis Kelce, through their “New Heights” podcast, the store was revealed on Instagram Stories. At a party at the Thriller Country Club, South of Market, the Philadelphia Eagles player was shirtless under his coat, while his brother kept his nightgown saucy, if not quite so cool: a red-and-white Kansas City Chiefs card. And, no, she doesn’t look like Travis’ famous girlfriend, Taylor Swifthe was at the event. But an attendee noticed that her importance in Travis’ life was at the party: a photo of Swift’s 2017 Super Saturday Night pre-Super Bowl concert was shown.
• Bad rabbit was photographed at Levi’s Stadium this past week, rehearsing for the Halftime Show, getting ready for his costume, sitting on a horse and trying out a jet pack that might allow him to fly across the stage. The Grammy-winning superstar also appeared at a press conference on Thursday, along with the pre-match cast Coco Jones, Brandi Carlisle again Charlie Puth. The mischievous rabbit spoke English in addition to his native Spanish but was unable to preview many details of his show and whether he would include any unexpected guests, such as Cardi B, who performed at the exclusive Fanatics Party the night before.
• And he did Bad rabbit decide to make a coffee run at Con Azucar Cafe in downtown San Jose sometime this week? “I didn’t say an ugly bunny came to our coffee shop during Super Bowl week…’ the East Santa Clara Street shop posted on Facebook. That’s right, but a closer look at the photos shows it was an AI. Still, it seems the shop was happy with the idea of his visit and commented, “You have great taste.”
• Martha Stewart was expected to appear at the Bay Area Host Committee’s San Francisco Fan Zone, an event of music, food and culture at Yerba Buena Gardens, on Thursday. He also visited SiriusXM on “Radio Row” in San Francisco.
• Rob Lowe has been telling his followers on Instagram that he will be at the Super Bowl, “on the ground,” hosting a show for On Location, a hospitality company that offers Super Bowl travel packages and access to various events.
• Founder of the controversial Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy he’s been stopping by San Francisco pizza restaurants in Mission (Pizza Shop and Pink Onion) to give his “One Bite Pizza Reviews” on Instagram and do a sponcon for Draft Kings, an online gambling company.
• It remains to be seen if the rest of the A’s will return to the Super Bowl this year, incl Swift, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner again Leonardo DiCaprio. But since Houses of Jay-Z Roc Nation produces a Halftime Show, wait for him – and maybe beyonce – to make an appearance.
•Stars scheduled to play or appear in other productions include Jon Hamm, Chris PrattJon Bon Jovi, Isaiah Mustaf, Green Day, Benson Boone, Post Malone, Biting, Come down again They don’t kill. Shaquille O’Neill’s The Funhouse party at the Cow Palace on Friday night is expected to include guests such as Miles Teller, Kristi Yamaguchi, T-Pain, Bay Area music legends At 40 again Too bad, and other influencers and reality TV stars.
