- Lingerie Bowl VII
↓
by Joanie Cox and Colleen Dougher
Super Bowl XLIV will mark the 14th time the big game has been played in Florida, but we never need an excuse to party here. Obviously, neither do celebrities. Throughout football season, Land Shark Stadium, which is now Sun Life Stadium, has seen more famous faces than a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, with Miami Dolphins co-owners Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Venus and Serena Williams often attending the games and the disparate likes of Kim Kardashian and the dead-sexy Larry King making their presences known, as well.
This Super Bowl weekend, South Florida will be crawling with more A-listers than usual. Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy, Holly Madison and Jamie Foxx will be among the many celebrities in town to host public and private events. And if the most-famous face you want to see is on the label of a Sam Adams bottle, you may be able to find a star-free event, as well. While nothing Super Bowl-related comes cheap, we made a Peyton Manning-size effort to bring you the biggest and best parties happening this week.
