Is Metallica Performing at Super Bowl LX? Lars Ulrich Says ...
Did you know it's been more than 15 years since a rock band performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show? That's right! The Who took the stage in 2010, and ever since, it's been pop, hip-hop, and R&B acts.
Of course, all of those performances were incredible—including Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl LVIII—but will a true rock band ever grace the stage again? Well, according to Metallica's Lars Ulrich, it's a possibility.
During a Wednesday, August 6, interview with Howard Stern, Ulrich, 61, was thrilled by the idea of playing the Super Bowl.
"F--k yeah, of course, we would. First of all, we would do it. Second of all, to do it in San Francisco would be a dream come true and would be the right fit. We haven't been approached," he said. "Certainly, as somebody who's represented San Francisco all over the world and shouted for decades about San Francisco and our love for the Bay Area, that part of it is the right fit. Ultimately, it's not our decision."

Moreover, Ulrich, who has been drumming with Metallica for 44 years, discussed the band nabbing a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere.
"I'm not going to confirm anything, because there's nothing to confirm. But I'm not going to deny it, because we're all such fans of this venue. All of our managers and our production people have been there and looked at it. It's something that we're considering, [but] nothing is etched in stone or green-lit. It's something that we're looking at at some point when the 2026 tour is done," the nine-time Grammy winner told Stern, 71.
Metallica was formed in 1981 and is comprised of Ulrich on drums, James Hetfield on vocals and rhythm guitar, Kirk Hammett on lead guitar, and Robert Trujillo on bass.

Dick's Creates In-house Studio to Create Sports Films
Dick's Sporting Goods is getting into the sports content business. The Pittsburgh-based retailer has launched Cookie Jar & A Dream Studios, an in-house content and production studio 'dedicated to telling powerful, human-centered stories through the lens of sport,' the company said Thursday. More from WWD Johnnie-O to Create Fan Gear for NFL Through New Licensing Deal Senator Warren to FTC: Block Dick's Sporting Goods' $2.4 Billion Foot Locker Acquisition EXCLUSIVE: Glamnetic and Fanatics Create Nail Sets Inspired by NFL, NCAA and MLB Teams The goal for the studio is to offer storytelling that will highlight the determination, triumphs and heartbreaks of sports. Although the studio is new, the retailer has been dabbling in sports storytelling for more than a decade. In 2014, it debuted its first documentary feature, 'We Could Be King,' which won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Sports Documentary. This past spring, the company picked up a second Emmy for 'The Turnaround,' a documentary that tells the story of Philadelphia Phillies' superfan Jon McCann. Over the past 10 years Dick's has produced five feature-length films and 10 short-form or episodic documentaries, with additional projects in the hopper. 'Dick's believes that sports have the power to change lives,' said Mark Rooks, vice president of creative, entertainment and sponsorships at Dick's. 'And we've seen through our work how true that is for so many who have excelled, triumphed against the odds, and been defeated in sport. There are so many incredible and inspiring human stories that deserve to be told, and we could not be more excited to showcase how individuals, teams and communities are shaping sport, bringing people together and unifying and building communities for thousands.' The official announcement of Cookie Jar & A Dream Studios coincides with the premiere of 'Big Dreams: The Little League World Series 2024' documentary. Produced in partnership with Imagine Entertainment and MLB Studios, the film will premiere on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. ''Big Dreams ' is a great example of the kind of projects Cookie Jar & A Dream Studios aims to produce,' said Rebecca Covington, senior director of creative production at Dick's. 'Being able to share big sports moments with fans is something that drives our team, and we look at the upcoming years with great excitement as we know there will be so many unforgettable stories deserving of the spotlight.' The name of the studio derives from the history of Dick's, which was founded in 1948 by 18-year-old Dick Stack, who borrowed $300 from his grandmother's cookie jar to open a small bait-and-tackle shop in Binghamton, N.Y. Today, the company is the largest sports retailer in the U.S. with more than 850 stores under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Public Lands and Going Going Gone nameplates.

Kelly Clarkson postpones Las Vegas residency due to ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's illness: What we know
The singer announced that the remaining August dates of her 'Studio Sessions' shows at Caesars Palace will be postponed while she tends to her family. Kelly Clarkson says she is postponing her Las Vegas residency so she can be with her children because their father, her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, has been ill. 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,' Clarkson announced in a post on Instagram. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.' The nature of Blackstock's illness was not disclosed. Clarkson added: 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' The 'Since U Been Gone' singer's remaining shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace this month had been scheduled for Aug. 8-9 and Aug. 15-16. Her next run at the 4,100-capacity venue, which was previously announced, is set for November. According to Caesars Palace, ticket holders for the postponed dates can hold on to their tickets for rescheduled shows in 2026 or opt for a refund. According to Ticketmaster, Clarkson has six dates at Caesars scheduled for July and August 2026. Clarkson, 43, and Blackstock, 48, married in 2013. The couple announced their split in 2020, and their divorce was finalized in 2022. The American Idol alum and music manager have two children: River Rose, their 11-year-old daughter, and Remy Alexander, their 9-year-old son. Postponements and absences This is the second postponement of Clarkson's residency, which opened in July. The first show was abruptly postponed just hours before she was set to take the stage after the singer said that she needed to rest her vocal cords. "The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice," Clarkson wrote on Instagram on July 4. "I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve.' In March, Clarkson stepped away from her eponymous daytime talk show for nearly two weeks while a variety of celebrities acted as guest hosts. When Clarkson returned, she cited only 'personal reasons' for her mysterious absence, which stirred speculation among fans that it could have something to do with Blackstock. News Nation subsequently reported that Blackstock was sick and that Clarkson skipped show tapings to take their children to see him. Solve the daily Crossword
