The Superbowl certainly lacked "celebrities" this year

I like many last night witnessed one of the greatest second halves of a Superbowl ever. (I'll give you a hint which one it was, not the first one)
As a Raiders fan, it was good to see karma come back and kick the shit out of the Patriots. I still have an axe to grind about the fumble back in '02, but I digress.

But while the game was not short on theatrics and great moments, it was really lacking "star power".

Usually in important games, FOX scans the crowd for celebrities and Joe Buck makes some useless comment, and the hapless sidekick (IE Tim McCarver or in this case Troy Aikman) usually makes a feeble attempt at something witty as well, but it falls flat.
When FOX did their "celebrity" scan last night, they turned up some duds. They showed Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy, and Pamela Anderson.

Sure we had Gisele, but she is holding Brady's "sausage hostage", so of course she was going to be there. (It was great watching her drink a glass of red wine while the game was going on)
No Denzel,no Seinfeld, no Chris Rock, even no Matt Damon. (he might be fucking Sarah Silverman, but Eli and the rest of the Giants fucked every Bostonian including Damon last night)

If those are the best "celebrities" FOX can find in the crowd, they need to hire a new celebrity scanner ASAP.
Jim Carey is still trying to figure out the symbolic meanings of "23", (albeit on a screen in an empty theatre) I forgot why Jenny McCarthy is even "famous" in the first place, and Pamela Anderson is just a glorified slutwagon.
Come on FOX! You can give us better than that!

At least we got multiple shots of bigger brother Peyton, who incidentally was dressed as though the Superbowl was going to be played on the deck of a yacht.

So with the lack of starpower at the game, I figured maybe some of them took in the pregame festivities.
Nope.....

Ok, Mary J Blige and Alicia Keyes I can understand...

But the rest?
Pete Wentz? I didnt think this guy could like any more of a douchebag...I was wrong.
Doug Flutie? He was named Direct TV's celebrity bowl MVP. He plays to win!
David Spade?
Kendra Wilkinson?
Stacy Kiebler?

Anything Spike TV advertises as "celebrity", you know you're going to get a steady stream of 2002 Maxim Models, a few decent athletes, on subpar teams, and some semi-popular action or comedy stars.

Next year Direct TV should change the name to the "B" Celebrity Bowl. Because if I paid money for tickets to go watch that expecting to see celebrties, I would have been super pissed.

Great game though.
