Justin Timberlake followed through on his plan to honor Prince during his Super Bowl halftime show ... projecting a video of the late singer instead of a full-blown hologram.

JT paid tribute to Prince about halfway through the show with a partial cover of "I Would Die 4 U" -- during which Justin was on piano, and Prince's image appeared on a giant flowing sheet behind him.

As we reported ... Justin was expected to use a straight up hologram during the performance. We were later told it would simply be a video projection of Prince rather than a hologram ... and it looks like they stuck to that.

Prince's ex, Sheila E., and his brother, Omarr Baker, both objected to a Prince hologram and assured fans this weekend that one would not appear.

Khloe Kardashian might be older than Kylie Jenner -- but she was definitely the little(r) sister during their overlapping pregnancies.

Khloe shouted out Kylie Sunday with a throwback photo featuring the both of them showing off their baby bumps ... and it's clear Kylie had a decent head start.

The still-expecting mom captioned the pic with a heartfelt message ... "Congratulations My Sweet Kylie! ... I'll miss you bumping along with me. Never in a million years did I think we would do this together but it's been that much more special because of it."

As we reported ... Kylie announced she'd given birth to a baby girl earlier this week. The kid came in at 8lbs and 9 ounces.

Khloe's still got a ways to go before she pops ... she should be due sometime in late March or early April.

P!nk appears to have beaten the flu ... 'cause she just nailed the National Anthem for Super Bowl LII.

The pop singer was front and center Sunday to belt out the "Star-Spangled Banner" ahead of kickoff, and despite some earlier concerns about being able to perform due to catching the flu ... P!nk killed it on the mic.

As we reported ... P!nk was forecasting some potential trouble on Thursday during a rehearsal, saying she was praying she'd be able to get over some flu symptoms that were bogging her down.

Jonathan Casillas is putting his former teammate, Tom Brady, on the highest pedestal possible ... even though he doesn't think TB's a shoo-in to beat the Eagles.

We got the former New England Patriots linebacker (and current Giants starter) Sunday in Minneapolis ahead of Super Bowl LII, and asked if Tom had this game in the bag.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are parents after she gave birth Thursday to a "beautiful and healthy" baby girl ... according to Kylie herself.

Kylie made the announcement Sunday. She delivered her firstborn at Cedars-Sinai in L.A., the same hospital where sisters Kim and Kourtney delivered their broods. Rob's daughter, Dream, was also born there. Kylie's kid came out at 4:43 PM weighing 8lbs and 9 ounces.

TMZ broke the story in September that Kylie was pregnant with Travis' kid, but she's kept the pregnancy top secret. KJ never confirmed, and totally went underground ... staying out of the spotlight for the last 5 months.

We finally got a shot of her a week ago, but even then she was wearing a baggy black sweatshirt. Now the question -- how long will she keep the new baby under wraps?

Kylie addressed the secrecy in a statement, apologizing for keeping her fans in the dark.

In any event ... mazel tov!

Von Miller almost didn't make it Super Bowl LII because his Uber ride broke down before he could even hit the road ... but luckily, the crisis was averted.

We got Von boarding an Uber Sunday in Minneapolis ahead of the big game between the Pats and Eagles, and his driver's car wouldn't start. The Broncos star wasn't about to sit around and miss the kickoff -- he bolted from the car and ordered himself a new one.

Kylie Jenner didn't just make a big news this weekend regarding her own birth ... she also fully showed off Kim Kardashian's new baby in the process.

Kylie put newborn Chicago West on full display Sunday in a pregnancy montage video she posted as part of her announcing her birth this week. You see Kim handing over baby Chicago to a then-pregnant Kylie ... and the camera zooms up on her face.

It's among the first clear shots of Kim's third child -- there was another good shot taken earlier this week of Chicago in a stroller.

As we reported ... Kylie broke the news Sunday in announcing her Thursday birth. She says her baby girl is "beautiful and healthy" ... no word on a name yet, though.

1:12 PM PT -- Kim just announced that her missing brother, Christopher Cattrall, has died. She called his death "unexpected" but didn't elaborate beyond that.

Kim Cattrall is begging for help in locating her brother, who went missing Tuesday.

Kim posted a desperate plea on social media for anyone having information about Christopher Cattrall, who disappeared from his home in Alberta, Canada.

The circumstances sound suspicious. 55-year-old Christopher had 7 beloved dogs at home, and she says he would never leave them in an unlocked house. His keys, cellphone and wallet were also left in his home.

Kylie Jenner might've been out of the spotlight through her pregnancy ... but that doesn't mean she wasn't keeping tabs on her baby bump along the way.

A then-pregnant Kylie is seen showing off her belly in a number of different scenarios and poses in an 11-minute post-birth video montage she created in announcing the arrival of her newborn baby girl.

True to form, Kylie's preggo selfies are in abundance here. There's also shots of her getting sonograms and sitting for a photo shoot with another preggo pal.

If you were ever curious what a pregnant Kylie looked like in full view ... click away, friends.

Super Bowl LII is shaping up to look a little bit like a militarized zone based on all the armed security running around Minneapolis ... with Humvees and whatnot.

Homeland Security's got their Special Response Team on the ground in and around U.S. Bank Stadium -- where the big game will be played Sunday night.

From the looks of these pics, HS staffers are strapped and ready to respond to anything ... with bulletproof vests, walkies and Humvees at their disposal. Makes sense ... big events like this have become targets for attacks as of late -- think Vegas, Manchester, etc.

Better safe than sorry.

Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson was killed this weekend after being hit by a suspected drunk driver.

According to Indiana State Police, Jackson and another man, Jeffrey Monroe, were struck early Sunday morning by a driver off of I-70 in Indianapolis. Both men were killed.

Cops say Jackson and Monroe were standing near a stopped vehicle on the shoulder of the highway when a black Ford F-150 truck swerved into their area and hit them.

Police say they believe the driver of the truck, Alex Cabrera Gonsales, was intoxicated. He reportedly tried fleeing the scene on foot after the crash, but he was apprehended by authorities.

The Colts released a statement on Jackson's death, saying, in part ... "We were heartbroken to hear the news of Edwin Jackson’s passing. Edwin was loved by all in the Colts organization." A rep for the team added ... "We are shocked and saddened by this tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of both men during this difficult time."

Jackson was only 26 years old. RIP

Tom Cruise clearly has not recovered from the broken ankle and other injuries he suffered during filming "Mission Impossible 6" ... and it's evident from the video.

You see Tom with a pronounced limp as he walks with co-star Rebecca Ferguson during a scene shot in London over the weekend.

As we reported, the 55-year-old actor busted his ankle after hitting a wall last August during a stunt gone bad. He had another mishap with a similar stunt a few weeks back.

Time to leave it to the young professionals, maybe.

Cardi B is resolute ... she will NOT perform during a Super Bowl halftime show until there's justice for Colin Kaepernick.

We got Cardi Saturday night at the Maxim Party in Minneapolis, and she couldn't have been clearer ... although she had some trouble pronouncing Colin's last name.

Check out the video ... you can see how bone-chillingly cold it is. Sunday morning's temp is negative 6. The temp at game time is expected to be 3 degrees.

Good luck waiting to get inside.

Mel B's become a major thorn in the side of "America's Got Talent" producers, who now want to kick her to the curb ... and Queen Latifah's their first option to replace her.

'AGT' production sources tell TMZ ... Mel's been butting heads with people on set and producers think she comes with too much "baggage" for the amount of money the Spice Girl's getting paid. We're told the situation worsened while Mel was enmeshed in her intense divorce from Stephen Belafonte.

You'll recall ... she's feuded on camera with Simon Cowell ... tossing a drink at him, but we're told there's been even more tension behind the scenes.

We're told producers wanna replace Mel with Queen Latifah by next season. One potential hurdle is the fact QL's under contract with the FOX series, "Star."

Hollywood seems torn about who they'll be rooting for this Super Bowl Sunday ... literally, this thing's split right down the middle.

We got a handful of celebs and athletes this weekend and asked them the same thing that's on everyone's mind for Super Bowl LII -- Pats or Eagles?

Anthony Scaramucci doesn't hesitate with his pick. Meanwhile, Donnie Wahlberg appears to waffle a bit before confirming his prediction ... no real surprise there.

Other stars who weighed in include Seahawks OT Duane Brown, ex-Pats defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, Joe Walsh ... and, of course, Lil Uzi Vert.
