We caught up with the hip-hop legend at LAX on Wednesday ... and, we asked him about whether he's interested in this alternative halftime show, and he's pretty much thumbs-down on it -- sharing his confusion about why people wouldn't want to listen to a powerful artist like BB.

Bad Bunny lifting up Puerto Rico's economy and his other good works for the U.S. island territory is enough reason for him to get the Halftime Show spot, Flavor adds ... and, Flav himself is a big fan of the guy.

50 Cent couldn't help but gush over Taylor Swift mentioning him on her song "Ruin The Friendship" from her blockbuster "The Life of a Showgirl" album ... and sent a backhanded shot to Travis Kelce's ex-GF!!!

During his sit-down with "Extra," 50 Cent dissected his shout-out on the track, basking in the fact that Taylor was using him as a ubiquitous reference for what was lit in pop culture at the time her song reflects upon.

50 admitted the All-Pro tight end made him a Chiefs fan before quipping he preferred seeing Taylor and Travis together ... as opposed to that "last thing" he was with.

Scott was hosting the CBS Champions League Today show on Wednesday alongside her usual cohorts -- Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Clint Dempsey -- when the wardrobe malfunction happened.

Jake Paul's admittedly nervous for his upcoming tilt with Gervonta Davis, but he tells TMZ Sports he's got a bit of a secret weapon in his corner to help him make sure he's ready -- Shakur Stevenson!

Sean Payton saw the not-so-subtle jab Russell Wilson made toward him on social media on Tuesday ... but the Broncos head coach is adamant he wasn't shading his former quarterback with the comments he made after Sunday's game -- insisting he was simply complimenting Jaxson Dart.

Payton raised eyebrows after the Broncos pulled off an unbelievable comeback against the Giants ... when he told reporters postgame he had hoped Dart would remain the backup until after their Week 7 matchup -- which some saw as shade to Wilson.

Wilson -- the current New York Giants backup after losing the gig to the rookie -- sent a rare shot at his old coach on Tuesday ... and while he didn't mention Payton by name, it was clear who he was referring to in the post.

The Indiana Fever guard spoke about the event on her "Show Me Something" podcast this week with West Wilson, revealing she's always idolized the annual shindig and the stars that have been involved.

That desire to be a part of it was re-ignited after Angel Reese's VS runway debut last week -- but Cunningham claimed if she were to join her next year, she'd need some help in the boobs department.

Mark Sanchez's attorney said the former quarterback is "still recovering" from wounds he sustained in a stabbing earlier this month.
