Will Smith is sending some friendly fire Justin Timberlake‘s way.
The Suicide Squad actor made his Instagram debut on Thursday, and received many welcomes by his celebrity friends, including Timberlake, 36, who jokingly gave Smith, 49, some tips on how and when to use #tbts.
Smith returned the joke with one of his own, warning the “SexyBack” singer about the dos and don’ts for Timberlake’s upcoming Super Bowl performance.
“Jt! Thanks a lot man for the post, the brief education about Instagram, man, because this is my first day,” Smith said. “So, I’m appreciating the hookup.”

It takes a lot of time, effort, and other resources to put on a halftime show for the Super Bowl, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the performers are chosen months and months ahead of time. Recently, it has been revealed that Justin Timberlake is in the process of finalizing a deal that will see him perform at the next Super Bowl, which will be held in Minneapolis. This is interesting for a couple of reasons. First, the last time that Timberlake performed at the Super Bowl was in 2004 at Super Bowl Xxxviii, which resulted

Live TV comes with certain risks, and Sunday’s Oscars snafu – in which “La La Land,” not “Moonlight,” was mistakenly named Best Picture at first – is a reminder of that. The occasional slip of the tongue or even pranks can lead a few buzzy, unpredictable moments, which may explain why live TV is experiencing a resurgence in popularity among TV programmers.
But there are times though when major snafus take over a live broadcast, causing embarrassment or controversy. It’s in those moments when the networks probably wished there was time for a do-over or edit.

34 years ago today, a new talk show favorite was born when Late Night with David Letterman debuted. Letterman hosted Late Night on NBC until 1993, when the network chose Jay Leno over Letterman to take Johnny Carson’s place as host of The Tonight Show. Letterman then moved to CBS and launched Late Show with David Letterman. On both Late Night’s first show in 1982 and Late Show’s first episode in 1993, Bill Murray was the first guest. He was a frequent guest on both, with 44 appearances between the two shows. In the final episode of Late Show with David Letterman last May, Murray presented item No. 1 on the show’s star-studded final Top 10 list. Other notable February 1 happenings in pop culture history: • 1896: Giacomo Puccini opera La bohème had its world premiere in Turin, Italy. 100 years later, the massive popularity-bound musical Rent premiered in New York — Jonathan Larson based Rent...

Rumor has it that the Super Bowl is all about the NFL, but the frenzied sharing of 2014's game day ads says otherwise. In the days following the famous scrimmage, it's often the moments that have little to do with football that prompt the most discussion. To find the Super Bowl's best moments off the clock, Logo TV polled over 2,000 viewers on their favorite game day events that didn't involve pigskins or forward passes. The results uncovered strange stunts, touching commercials and an awe-inspiring rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Forget football, what Super Bowl Sunday’s really about is all the fireworks that happen around the game. Whether it’s some halftime show antics or some post-game dissing, football’s biggest night has always been full of drama.
You don’t have to like football to like the Super Bowl. That’s because any given year, the lights can go out, or someone’s nipple can pop out, or a certain quarterback’s wife can spew out a post-game rant. Without further ado, here are the Super Bowl moments from over the years that really stand out.

It was the wardrobe malfunction that introduced the world to the phrase wardrobe malfunction, and I never even saw it. I missed all of Super Bowl Xxxviii, actually. I’d been in New York visiting old friends, my flight home left around 5 p.m., and live television on airplanes was still rare. When I landed at Lax, I was like Rick Grimes in the first episode of The Walking Dead, waking to a world that was fundamentally different and deeply irritating. Yes, Nipplegate happened ten years ago this week, so I decided that for this edition of my "Somewhere in Time" column — in which I look back at the pop culture we were loving at different points in the past — I will revisit what we were listening to when Janet Jackson stole our innocence.

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Justin Timberlake "accidentally" bared Janet Jackson's breast on live television during Super Bowl Xxxviii? That event launched a term into our collective vocabulary that can be seen dozens of times each year: Wardrobe malfunction.
That was the explanation for what happened with Jackson and Timberlake, for which the FCC tried to levee a half-million fine against CBS (though that was later overturned in an appellate court). The FCC did, however, raise its indecency fine from $27,500 to $325,000 in the wake of "nipplegate" and the NFL declared that MTV would never again be involved in another halftime show.
Something tells us we won't have to worry about Bruno Mars at Super Bowl Xlviii.
Since the infamous Jackson incident happened, there have been too many wardrobe malfunctions to count. Heck, Nicki Minaj even Instagrams her own nip-slips, so we've certainly come a long way since...

Who says people don't have any free time anymore? Just because Miley Cyrus' now-iconic performance with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards didn't feature a visible nipple or an audible F-word doesn't mean offended viewers didn't bombard the Federal Communications Commission with concerns about what they were witnessing on their screens. No matter that the FCC, which was quick to levy a hefty fine (that was ultimately successfully appealed) on CBS after Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" during Super Bowl Xxxviii, doesn't have the authority to publish cable networks—the roughly 150 people who filed entertainingly descriptive indecency complaints presumably...

Less than two days before singing the National Anthem at President Barack Obama's second Inauguration, Beyonce shared with Zap2it her deep feelings about the historic occasion.
"Every time I am overworked and in a stressful situation, I always think about moments like this," she says. "And it makes everything worth while."
A longtime supporter of Obama, Beyonce's voice softens as she says, "My father grew up in Alabama and my father was escorted to school with security guards. He was one of the few African-Americans in school."
Monday's (Dec. 21) public Inauguration of the president falls on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, making the moment even more special.
"There is so much history that we have overcome," Beyonce says. "And we are growing so much. It is so beautiful that I can make my family and my family's legacy proud and it is a huge opportunity, for me.

I’ll be honest, I can’t really picture millions of macho American football fans putting aside their Miller Lites and nacho supreme platters to pay hushed attention to Madonna belting out “Like a Virgin” on Sunday. I could be wrong, but recent halftime show performances by air guitar-friendly classic rock bands like the Who, U2, and Aerosmith seem a little safer. Even a red-state songstress like Faith Hill seems like a smarter choice since she’s already wooed dudes with her rendition of the Monday Night Football theme. I suppose Madge will bring a whole new audience to an NFL broadcast,...

We are all excited about Madonna's performance this Sunday, but Super Bowl halftime shows weren't always about popular recording artists. As the most-watched event in television history, it's hard to imagine the game without celebrities and pyrotechnics. The show has come a long way since college marching bands, so let's take a look at some of the great and most memorable Super Bowl halftime moments.
Super Bowl III: Florida A&M University:
Towards the end of the Civil rights movement, the 1969 halftime show was lead by the marching band of famed historically black college, Florida A&M University.
Super Bowl XVI: Up With the People:
Do you remember Up With the People? Well the NFL really liked this act! The international education organization featured a cast of about 100 students from 20 different countries. They performed at four different Super Bowls during the late 1970's and through the 80's.

This weekend is going to be a massive one for the worlds of music, television and sports. The Super Bowl is finally here, and the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will be squaring off against one another to determine who is this year's NFL champion is only about the fifth-most important thing happening over the next few days. In addition to the game, there will be the headline-grabbing advertisements (including a number of movie trailer premieres and appearances by both Justin Bieber and Eminem), the new episode of "Glee" that will follow the big game (which features the much-talked-about "Thriller" sequence), the national anthem care of Christina Aguilera (which bodes well for the Steelers) and the fact that this could be the most-watched American television broadcast in history (besting last year's Super Bowl, which drew 106.5 million viewers).

About a year ago, Kanye West's life and career took a bizarre turn when he decided to storm the stage at Radio City Music Hall during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, grab the microphone away from Best Female Video winner Taylor Swift and declare Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" one of "the best videos of all time ... of all time!" What followed was a bizarre ride for the producer and rapper, as he made a high-profile public apology, then went into hiding for a while before beginning his big comeback that will peak again when he performs at the 2010 Video Music Awards this Sunday, September 12. Though he called Swift personally to apologize shortly after the initial incident, over the weekend West used his new favorite toy — Twitter — to once again apologize to Swift before the one year anniversary of the initial event.

From the first gyration of Elvis Presley's hips on "The Milton Berle Show" (way back in the summer of 1955) to the last grab of the crotch during Adam Lambert's Sunday (November 22) night performance at the American Music Awards, musicians and live television have shared a rather contentious relationship.
Throughout the years, in attempts to shock audiences, promote albums or share their political views (or, you know, just because they were inebriated), artists have given censors fits with performances that pushed the boundaries of good taste — everything from bare butts to obscenity and potshots at the Pope. Things like that are the reason they invented the seven-second delay, after all.
So now, with Lambert already feeling the heat following his racy Ama performance, we decided it was a good time to re-visit some of the most shocking musical moments from in TV history — the ones that earned public condemnations and half-hearted apologies.
