Year of the Underdog

Every celebrity I encountered over Super Bowl XLIV weekend said they were rooting for the New Orleans Saints, and the team did not let them down.

The Saints got the victory – their first Super Bowl win ever! – everyone wanted and wished for the Crescent City...one that no one was sure would be theirs when they beat the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17, during a highly rated game of good ol’ football at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

I guess Nancy O’Dell, the only celeb I heard say was supporting the Colts, must’ve been super-disappointed.

And speaking of celebrities, boy did they arrive in the Magic City in full force to go to the game...and to many a party.

Everyone was here, from Reggie Bush’s main squeeze, Kim Kardashian, to Rihanna, to the cast of MTV’s The Hills and Kellan Lutz and Trevor Donovan, to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz, and Brangelina – they all had one thing on their minds: the underdogs.

Just goes to show ya never to underestimate anyone who’s supposedly weaker than you. They usually end up celebrating.
