From Taylor Swift to Jerry Jones: Private Jets Reportedly Contributed $24 Million in Earnings to New Orleans Airport After Super Bowl

While fans and analysts alike currently discuss Super Bowl LIX’s record-breaking viewership and the result of the game itself, a much more telling story has been unearthed by Huddle Up’s Joe Pompliano. As the NFL was busy celebrating its biggest event of the year, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was preparing to post its own record-breaking numbers.

Reporting that over 1,200 private jets flew in for the Super Bowl festivities, Pompliano claimed that the majority of those associated with the planes spent over $20,000 on miscellaneous charges such as “landing, parking, and handling fees.” Name-dropping celebrities left and right, such as Jerry Jones, Shaquille O’Neal, Taylor Swift, and the Prince of Monaco, Pompliano is now reporting that over 250 of those private jets departed within four hours of the Super Bowl ending.

Should Pompliano’s numbers prove to be correct, then that would give the airport’s handling of private flights an approximate value of $24 million dollars. Considering that number doesn’t account for the airfares that were paid by standard travelers, the total earnings for New Orleans are surely staggering. According to MSY, 43,188 passengers were processed through their security checkpoint on February 10th, the day after the Super Bowl.

On the other hand, after previously claiming to be concerned about climate change, Taylor Swift and the flight patterns of her private jet came under scrutiny, leading to one of the most comprehensive flight tracking platforms in recent history.

According to the Taylor Swift Jets (Tracking) account, a project spearheaded by aviation and space student, Jack Sweeney, who seeks to bring transparency to the flying habits of various celebrities, Swift landed in New Orleans after a 1-hour 14-minute flight that produced an approximate five tons worth of C02 emissions.

For context, the average person emits about four tons of carbon dioxide per year.

Fans react to Pompliano’s report

With the majority of the aforementioned 250 flights having destinations in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, some of the most affluent cities in America, fans were less than pleased to hear of Pompliano’s report following the Eagles victory at Super Bowl LIX.

While the majority of comments were directed at the environmental implications of the report, some felt the need to highlight the amount of planning that was required in order for an airport in New Orleans to pull this off.

Ultimately, however, the prevailing sentiment was one of distaste and frustration.

Suffice to say, as Americans attempt to recover from having endured some of the worst inflation rates in recent history, there is little to no sympathy for the traveling expenses of the first class. With many believing that the average fan has been officially priced out of the NFL’s most prestigious event, reports such as Pompliano’s will continue to fan the flames of public discourse surrounding the reality of the haves and the have-nots.

Carrie Underwood Sues ‘The V!ew’ Hosts, Demands They Shut Down Show “This Is A Show That Lies To Its Viewers” 

Iп a sυrprisiпg tυrп of eveпts, coυпtry mυsic sυperstar Carrie Uпderwood has filed a lawsυit agaiпst the hosts of the popυlar daytime talk show “The View.” The lawsυit, which has seпt shockwaves throυgh the eпtertaiпmeпt iпdυstry, claims that the show has coпsisteпtly misrepreseпted facts aпd spread misiпformatioп, leadiпg Uпderwood to demaпd its immediate shυtdowп.

Kid Rock’s commeпts come at a time wheп the mυsic iпdυstry is iпcreasiпgly polarized.

Jordon Hudson, 23, says ‘love does not discriminate against’ age in Valentine’s Day post for boyfriend Bill Belichick, 72

Age ain’t nothing but a number.

Bill Belichick’s 23-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, defended their 49-year age gap on Friday when she shared a Valentine’s Day post for him.

While sharing a photo of her and the six-time Super Bowl champion, 72, hugging on recent trip to New Orleans, Hudson wrote, “Let’s take a deeper dive into the hot topic of the day… ‘LOVE’…”

‘”What constitutes love?’ or ‘what makes someone worthy of loving?’ are questions that require a deep analysis and could possibly enable one to understand the romances that they may not understand nor relate to,” she continued.

“With such a limited character count, I cannot dissect nor comprehensively answer these questions, but I will exclaim a few basic concepts: There is no objective criteria for what constitutes someone’s worthiness of love. We do not need to justify ‘why’ we love a particular person.”

“The ways in which we develop our biological preferences are deeply personal in which we owe no justification nor explanation. Love does not discriminate against sex, skin-color, religion, age, or ability. Love does not fluctuate along with someone’s body weight,” Hudson added.

Hudson then offered more of her thoughts on what love looks like, saying it “does not lie within a perfect complexion” and is “not as deep as one’s pockets.”

“Love does not look the same every time you see it. People and relationships, like everything else, are impermanent; even though love is eternal. Love is not to be judged. It is never okay to harass or abuse a person based upon who they love,” she closed, signing the post, “Love, Jordon Hudson.”

Despite their large age gap, a source previously told us that the NFL legend “couldn’t care less” about it because “he appreciates Jordon for the woman that she is.”

“Jordon is an old soul so she and Bill connect on a deep level. Age is just a number to them.”

Belichick and Hudson also “don’t listen to the haters because their relationship is the real deal.”

The former cheerleader reportedly started dating Belichick in 2022. Though, they kept their relationship under wraps until last year when they finally went public with their romance.

As Page Six reported last week, things appear to be getting serious for the couple as an insider shared they “have discussed” marriage. However, the source says, “Jordon hasn’t put any pressure on Bill at all to propose, and she feels like it will happen when and if the time is right.”

BREAKING: The NFL’s HEAVIEST sentence EVER for Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl fine was announced after the Chiefs star got into a fight with Eagles players..

NFL verdict on Travis Kelce Super Bowl fine revealed after Chiefs star clashed with Eagles rivals

Travis Kelce has avoided a fine from the NFL for taunting in the Super Bowl in a move that threatened to add insult to injury after the Kansas City Chiefs were humiliated by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kelce was seen squaring up to Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis and appeared to push him in a viral clip from the game in New Orleans that threatened to hit him in the pocket.

He was also seen in another animated confrontation with Jalen Carter. But the Chiefs tight end – who has been fined twice by the NFL in recent weeks for his conduct – has avoided being sanctioned this time.

Kelce, 35, was fined $11,255 for feuding with Damar Hamlin when the Chiefs beat the Bills in the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium.

In scenes not too different from the clash with Davis in the Super Bowl, Kelce followed Patrick Mahomes into the end zone and after the quarterback scored a touchdown, Kelce got in the face of Hamlin as part of his celebration.

Kelce then got headbutted for his troubles by Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who barged in and made sure Kelce knew exactly what he thought about the tight end’s celebration.

Travis Kelce has avoided a fine despite some angry moments in the Super Bowl last week 

Kelce’s celebration was a tribute to Tony Gonzalez, the man whose tally of 76 touchdowns he eclipsed with the 77th TD of his Chiefs career in the game.

Elsewhere from the Super Bowl, star Eagles defensive tackle Carter escaped punishment despite making clear contact with the head of Patrick Mahomes.

Two other Eagles players did get fined, though. Defensive tackle Milton Williams was one, fined $14,06 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Williams forced a fumble and a turnover when he sacked Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes with roughly 10 minutes to play. He took the football spiked it over the crossbar in the end zone.

 

Teammate Jalyx Hunt, an outside linebacker, was bizarrely fined $5,690 for celebrating sacking Mahomes with a bow-and-arrow gesture that the League described as a ‘violent gesture’.

Kelce, meanwhile, is considering his future in the game in the wake of the crushing loss.

‘I know everybody wants to know whether or not I’m playing next year, and right now I’m just kicking everything down the road. I’m kicking every can I can down the road,’ he said on his New Heights podcast with older brother Jason.

‘I’m not making any crazy decisions [yet]. Right now the biggest thing is just being there for my teammates and being there for my coaches, understanding there’s a lot that goes into this thing.

‘The fact that we keep going to these AFC Championships and these Super Bowls, that means I’m playing an extra three games than everybody else in the entire league,’ he explained.

 

‘That’s a lot of wear and tear on your body and it’s a lot of time spent in the building, focusing on your craft, focusing on the task at hand, every challenge that you set up for yourself. That process can be grueling, it can weigh on you.’

Nobody recognizes her anymore: Once the most beautiful blonde in Hollywood, now…

Once a beautiful actress, Heather Locklear, star of “Dynasty,” was a woman many admired, but today she is no longer the beauty that Hollywood once loved.

Once considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, the stunning Heather Locklear was best known to our audience for her roles as Sammy Jo in the series “Dynasty,” Amanda Woodward in “Melrose Place,” and her appearances in “Spin City.”

A natural beauty, Heather was adored by men and envied by women. She filled newspaper columns with stories about her looks, making it seem like her place among the stars was unshakable.

However, her fame, popularity, and belonging to the Hollywood jet set didn’t last long. For years now, she has been known not only for her career but also for various rumors and not-so-flattering stories.

Heather didn’t have much luck in love either. She was married to Tommy Lee, from whom she divorced in 1993. Recently, Tommy Lee’s current wife revealed that his greatest love was not, as many thought, Pamela Anderson, but Heather. She later married Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. However, after divorcing her second husband in 2006, problems began to arise.

It is well known that she has long been struggling with various vices, from alcohol addiction to drug dependency. Heather has had legal issues, and mental and psychological crises, as well as rehab clinics, are not unfamiliar to her.

The actress was arrested for driving under the influence, and tests showed she had taken drugs. Reports said she had physical altercations with the police while intoxicated. Just a day after being released from jail, she allegedly overdosed on pills and ended up in the hospital.

Since 2019, Heather is reportedly “clean,” crediting her partner Chris and her daughter Ava for her sobriety. However, even her relationship with Chris has not been without its challenges.

Locklear no longer looks as natural as she once did. On the contrary, it’s clear that surgeries have altered her appearance to the point where she is almost unrecognizable. Take a look at some of her recent photos: Scroll for more

They say he is even more handsome than his famous father: But do you know whose son he is?

The young actor and model reminds many people of his famous father in his prime.

In the world of Hollywood glitz and scandals, one young man has caught the public’s attention with his charm and undeniable talent, while keeping a mysterious distance from his famous surname.

Jake, a young model and actor, has made a name for himself on runways and in film projects, earning a reputation as an independent artist.

However, recent events have put him in the spotlight – his marriage to popular actress Millie Bobby Brown earlier this year surprised many with its unusual dynamics.

Just a few months ago, the world was shocked by the news of the young model’s wedding to his long-time famous partner. What’s particularly surprising to many is the fact that they are only 22 and 20 years old.

They have often emphasized that love doesn’t wait and doesn’t care about age. Just a few weeks ago, the newlyweds were spotted enjoying their honeymoon in Sardinia.

However, the public was intrigued by the fact that they didn’t travel alone. They were accompanied by Jake’s parents, with many saying he is the spitting image of his famous father. Some even claim he is more handsome than the former heartthrob.

If you guessed that Jake Bongiovi is the son of the legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi, you were right.

Although the globally popular musician has always been known as a great charmer, he also married relatively young. After 35 years of marriage, he still enjoys a loving relationship with his wife, Dorothea.

It’s not wrong to say that young Jake has hit the “genetic jackpot” thanks to his parents. It seems that Bon Jovi’s heir is a perfect mix of his famous father and mother.

“Jon Bon Jovi: ‘I Might Forget How to Sing, But I Never Want to End Up Like the Fat Elvis’ – Shocking Confession!”

Jon Bon Jovi, known for hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” is hopeful for a return to peak vocal performance following vocal cord surgery that sidelined his live singing in 2022.

The rock icon, whose full name is John Francis Bongiovi Jr., is currently on a path of recovery after undergoing throat surgery and subsequent rehabilitation for an atrophied vocal cord. However, he acknowledges that the challenges of performing live may now be greater for his voice.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Bon Jovi discussed the differences between studio recording and live performances. Despite the hurdles, he remains dedicated to his vocal therapy regimen, singing daily in hopes of regaining his former vocal strength.

Jon Bon Jovi expressed his aspirations for live performances, emphasizing his desire to deliver energetic shows lasting two and a half hours, four nights a week. However, he also acknowledged the importance of maintaining a high standard of performance, stating, “I know how good I can be, so if I can’t be that guy … put it this way, I don’t ever wanna be a fat Elvis.”

Elvis Presley, famously known as the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” commanded both the stage and the silver screen during his illustrious career. However, his later years were marked by struggles with prescription drug dependency and declining health, exacerbated by the demands of his physically taxing schedule.

Tragically, Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42. He was discovered unconscious at his Graceland mansion and subsequently pronounced dead at a hospital in Memphis. His untimely death left an enduring legacy and a profound impact on the world of music and entertainment.

“I can tell you that 60 is different from 50, and my current concern is that I’m going to forget how to sing, but what does a quarterback do when faced with the last ball he’ll ever throw?” Bon Jovi shared candidly.

“I want to look back on 40 years of Bon Jovi, look forward to the new album, and appreciate everything,” Bon Jovi expressed, emphasizing his hope to find joy and fulfillment in the journey ahead despite the challenges he faces.

Jason Tatum Admits ‘I Ruined Everything’ When He Met Michael Jordan For The First Time: The Unheard Story!

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum shared an unforgettable and slightly embarrassing story about the first time he met basketball legend Michael Jordan.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the reigning NBA champion reflected on his 2019 introduction to His Airness—a moment that didn’t go exactly as planned.

Tatum had just signed with the Jordan Brand and was invited to an exclusive retreat in Paris that summer, just before his third NBA season. It was there, surrounded by some of the biggest names in the game, that he came face-to-face with the GOAT for the very first time.

“It was my first time meeting MJ. They had a bunch of athletes there—it was a big event they used to do every summer before COVID,” Tatum shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “It was my introduction to everyone on the team, like a ‘welcome to the family’ moment.”

However, what should have been a special memory took an awkward turn later that evening at dinner.

The Story

“I walked in… I had just turned 21. MJ was sitting at a table with his wife and Spike Lee. My table was across the room, and I just wanted to go introduce myself again before sitting down,” Tatum admitted. But in that moment, he unknowingly “ruined” what could have been a perfect introduction.

Jayson Tatum admitted that nerves got the best of him during his first meeting with Michael Jordan, leading to an awkward yet memorable moment.

“I was so nervous. My hands were shaking, and when I went to shake his hand, I accidentally knocked over his wine glass,” Tatum recalled. “I spilled it everywhere, broke the glass, and just stood there speechless.”

Despite the mishap, Jordan, who was 61 at the time, took it in stride. “He was super cool about it,” Tatum said. “That’s probably happened to him a thousand times. It’s something we laugh about now.”

Since signing with Jordan Brand in 2019, Tatum has remained a key athlete for the label. He has released three signature shoes, with the latest, the Jordan Tatum 3, launching in September—just in time for the Celtics to begin their defense of their historic 18th NBA championship.

Actor Joe Alwyn reportedly looking to reconnect with ex Taylor Swift after Hollywood move

Joe Alwyn has arrived in Hollywood for promotional work on his latest film, The Brutalist, and is reportedly eager to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Despite Swift having moved on with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, Alwyn, 33, is said to be reflecting on their six-year relationship, which ended in 2023.

While there are no romantic intentions behind his desire to catch up, a source told RadarOnline.com that Alwyn hopes to have an open conversation with Swift. “Initially, the breakup was tough for both of them, filled with hurt feelings. However, things have settled down, at least for Joe,” the source shared.

“They shared six years together, and those memories will always be a part of him. He hopes they can both reflect on their time together positively. For him, the best way to achieve that is by reconnecting and having a heartfelt conversation. This doesn’t imply a romantic revival—Joe genuinely cares for Taylor and wishes nothing but the best for her. He hopes she feels similarly about him.”

Alwyn Open to Meeting Travis Kelce

While Swift is now in a relationship with Kelce, Alwyn is reportedly open to crossing paths with the NFL star. With Kelce’s growing presence in the entertainment industry, their circles may eventually overlap.

Kelce, 35, has been expanding his career beyond football, taking on hosting roles in television and securing a part in FX’s Grotesquerie, where he plays Ed Laclan. He is also set to appear in Happy Gilmore 2, signaling his increasing involvement in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, Alwyn has been focused on multiple film projects. In addition to The Brutalist, he stars in the adaptation of Hamnet, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, and plays Laertes in Hamlet. His recent Golden Globe recognition for The Brutalist has further solidified his place in the industry.

Although Swift and Alwyn’s romantic chapter is in the past, it remains to be seen whether their professional and personal paths will cross once again.
