Tom Hardy I Oughta Root Falcons ... You Know, 'Cause of My Dog and All!

Published | Updated

Tom Hardy knows where he should place his allegiance for Super Bowl LI ... and he's got his dog to thank for the direction.

Tom was interviewing on Fox Sunday, where he was asked who he's got to win the big game.

Due to Woodstock -- the canine, not the friend -- being from Georgia, he seems to have his pick.

BTW ... he's really got a thing for dogs ...

Gisele SPACED OUT Hours Before Kickoff

Published | Updated

What do you do when your pre-Super Bowl anxiety hits out-of-this-world levels??

You take your fam to the Houston Space Center!

That's what Gisele did early Sunday morning -- taking her daughter Vivian for a quick trip to the home of the largest moon rock collection on the planet ... while her hubby Tom Brady preps for the Falcons.

The supermodel explored replicas of the Apollo Lunar Module, Apollo 17 Command Module and more. Looks like she had a great time.

As we know from previous Super Bowls, Gisele gets pretty intense when watching the games -- so, we're guessing the trip was an attempt to keep her mind distracted.

Then again, Tom's already been through the Super Bowl thing 6 times before ... so, maybe they're looking to buy a space shuttle??

If history's any indication, the Patriots got this ... according to Jennifer. She's also got racks on Gaga's boobs making an appearance. Odds are in her favor.

Super Bowl LI Cops Brace for Trump Protesters ... Marijuana Lovers Too

Published | Updated

The Houston Police Department is expecting the worst outside the Super Bowl and is ready to combat a wave of Prez Trump protesters making noise about disrupting the game.

Our law enforcement sources say officers, in uniform and undercover, will monitor crowds outside NRG Stadium. We're told several online groups have popped up in recent days organizing protests -- some anti-Trump, some for Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock and refugees.

HPD has plenty of backup, having borrowed cops from around the country. As usual for the Super Bowl ... we're told SWAT will be posted nearby if protests turn into riots and get out of hand.

One more thing -- stoners beware. Unlike the inauguration protests, we're told in and outside the stadium will be a weed-free zone. As one officer put it, "If people think they are going to bring dope into Texas, they're full of s***."

And now that it's all out in the open ... we asked if he would take his career in that direction. Don't count it out.

As for his fighting future, the former UFC star says he's in talks to brawl again in the very near future.
