Get ready to rumble! On Feb. 6, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers will face off in Arlington, Texas to battle it out for the Super Bowl XLV title. But don’t think sports junkies will be the only ones in the stands — the football extravaganza is an event many stars attend. Which celebrity couples will make it to Cowboys Stadium on Sunday?
Five-time Grammy winner Christina Aguilera will perform the National Anthem. Since the singer’s recent divorce from her husband of five years, Jordan Bratman, she has been dating Burlesque set assistant, Matthew D. Rutler. We can count on the couple to arrive together, since their relationship is said to be getting “serious.”
Another serious couple sure to attend the Super Bowl is Fergie and her husband, Josh Duhamel. Her Grammy Award-winning group, the Black Eyed Peas, will take the stage during the Half-time show. According to USMagazine.com, the couple renewed their wedding vows earlier this month. But will Duhamel be in the stands or in the fields during his wife’s performance?
Other performers include Glee’s Lea Michele, singing “America the Beautiful,” while Keith Urban and Maroon 5 will perform during the pre-game show. Will Nicole Kidman make an appearance with daughter Faith Margaret? After all, Keith has been by her side during this year’s awards season!
Other celebrity couples in the stands may include Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Although Kutcher is a die-hard Chicago Bears fan, Moore has been seen rooting for the Packers at their games. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, who is friends with former quarterback Brett Favre, are also fans of the team. And Justin Timberlake, the former ‘N Sync band member who brought sexy back, loves the Packers. We’re all curious to see who’ll be by his side if he shows up – Jessica Biel or Olivia Munn?
Let’s not forget about the Pittsburgh Steelers fans who we can count on to be there for their team: Bret Michaels, Rush Limbaugh, Jeff Goldblum, Snoop Dogg and Adam Sandler – who played a former quarterback for the Steelers in the 2005 movie, “The Longest Yard.”
While the big game is obviously the main attraction, celebrities will also indulge during the many Super Bowl parties happening over the weekend. In addition to performing, the Black Eyed Peas will team up with Sports Illustrated to host a Super Bowl Bash. “It will be the kick-off to an amazing weekend in Dallas and we can’t wait to get it started,” said Fergie. While guests are sure to include some SI models, like Genevieve Morton and Julie Henderson, Fergie’s own supermodel bod will keep Josh Duhamel in check.
Pamela Anderson will also be in town, throwing a pre-Super Bowl Party on Feb. 4, called SuperBash 2011. Past guests included Kim Kardashian, John Travolta and Carmen Electra.
And Diddy, the master of being the master of ceremonies, will host multiple parties during game weekend. Event tickets range from $500-$25,000 (yes, that’s correct; $25,000!). Last year, rumors flew that Diddy was dating Nicki Minaj. Current reports say that the rapper is single, but it’d be nice to see someone at his side during his parties.
Too bad we have to wait to see who ends up at the game! Don’t forget to tune into FOX on Sunday, Feb. 6 at 6:30 PM ET to watch Super Bowl XLV.
