The Weeknd is spending $7 million of his own money on the Super Bowl halftime show. The Super Bowl is footing the bill for the usual production costs, but The Weeknd says:
“we’ve been really focusing on dialing in on the fans at home and making performances a cinematic experience, and we want to do that with the Super Bowl.”
Production costs can run up to $10million. The production this year will be extra special if The Weekend is throwing in an extra $7 Million.
The Weeknd went on recording saying his favorite Super Bowl halftime show performance was by Diana Ross in 1996. He loved her exit in a helicopter, which rose up through the packed stadium with the singer waving to fans.
“I wish I could have done that,” he joked. “I don’t think I have enough money to do it, to be honest.”
The halftime show is produced by Jay-Z company Roc Nation.

More than ever, we live in a fake famous society. People’s worth is based on their social media following whether it’s LIKES on Instagram or CONNECTIONS Twitter, both of which can be bought. If you have enough money you can stack the deck and make it appear that you are well loved and liked.

In a new HBO documentary Fake Famous follows technology journalist Nick Bilton as he turns three 20-somethings with small social media followings into Instagram influencers.
“When you look on Instagram, there are over 140 million people who have over 100,000 followers,” Bilton told The Post. “How is it that the entire population of Russia can be perceived as famous? It’s not possible.” (NY POST)
Those shiny photos of influencers hanging at a day spa or sitting on a private jet are fake shots on a budget. Buy a fake private jet studio for $50 an hour along with 100k instagram followers and you’re ready for business.
Like I said, anyone can buy fake Instagram followers, likes and comments. Bots make up a huge portion of followers for celebs including Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry and the Kardashians – and even political figure heads.
With the passage of time, the pursuit of fake famous online will eventually fade. Why? Because it offers nothing in return, not monetarily nor emotionally.
In fact, check out the new video for the track Famous by Nashville based singer and songwriter Liv Margaret. The video takes a look at fame and its trappings, the emptiness that can come with obtaining it.
Check out the new track Exocoetidaes by San Diego based singer-songwriter Norii. I like it because it’s different and takes you on a bit of journey. The new song follows her piano ballad So it Goes.
She got the idea from a documentary. “I found this video from BBC Earth where a bunch of flying fish were being eaten from the birds above and the bigger fish underneath. Me, being pretty sad and isolated at the time, made up a bunch of parallels between my hopelessness and the doomed life of flying fish, aka, “exocoetidae” shares Norii.
It’s her personal favorite song to date. Go check it out on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
Rihanna has set off a firestorm with a tweet that called for the support of Indian farmers. We won’t delve into the full specifics here, but farmers in India have been protesting against a new law that could impact the pricing of agricultural produce.
Could India ban and censor Rihanna? The nation could if Rihanna continues to interject herself in foreign affairs.
Soon after Rihanna’s tweet ministers, Bollywood stars and cricketers warned Rihanna not to meddle in their affairs and that she should stay focused on peddling “hate” and “divineness” in America.
