It’s doubtful that anyone partied as hard last night as the New Orleans Saints, celebrating their Super Bowl win. That doesn’t mean a host of Hollywood stars didn’t give them a run for their money all weekend.
Miami was overflowing with A-list talent, prepping for the big game at beachfront hot spots and private mansions alike.
Talent agency CAA invited an embarrassment of bold-face names to its Saturday bash at the W Hotel South Beach. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz, Derek Jeter, Carrie Underwood, Chris Rock, Jessica Alba, Alex Rodriguez and Hilary Swank stopped by.
The sprawling Florida home of ‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay was the site of the Giving Back Fund and Dewar’s Signature’s charity soiree the same night. ‘Gossip Girl’ hunks Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick attended, as well as Westwick’s main squeeze, Jessica Szohr, and mogul Russell Simmons.
At the Hotel 944, Snoop Dogg partied in the penthouse after his performance, with Brent Bolthouse and race car driver Jimmie Johnson. The bash even got a visit from Captain Morgan and his scantily clad pirate gals, the Morganettes.
Coincidentally, the Black Eyed Peas had a tour stop in Miami the night before the big game. They celebrated their performance with tour sponsor Bacardi and Playboy magazine. Onstage, Josh Duhamel‘s bride Fergie encouraged the crowd to ‘do the fist pump,’ in honor of her fave guilty pleasure, ‘Jersey Shore.’
Over at Miami’s Bank of America, the fourth annual Saturday Night Spectacular went down, benefiting Generation Rescue. E!’s chatty late-night gal Chelsea Handler proved she’s an equal opportunity drinker, enjoying Grey Goose cocktails with Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, forgoing the similar sauce of her book tour sponsor, Belvedere.
Amid the abundant eating and drinking, some hard bodies used their party time to work on their fitness -- including ‘Eclipse’ actor Kellan Lutz. The new Calvin Klein spokesman hit Gatorade’s Performance Center in Fort Lauderdale, where professionals were brought in to get the precise metrics on his hotness.
Molly Sims, Amanda Bynes and Aaron Rodgers also came through.
On the big night, crooner Jamie Foxx hit Tao South Beach at the W, where he gave an impromptu performance for a crowd including ‘Brothers and Sisters’ star Dave Annable.
