Scandalicious
Super Bowl XLIV
It may seem weird to be covering a major sporting event here at Scandalicious, but it actually involved a lot of celebrities!
The Players and their Girls
Kim Kardashian, from "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" on E!, tweeted about her night at the Super Bowl: "Who dat there gonna beat them Saints!!!! We won the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!" She even posted a picture of her boyfriend, Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints, with the trophy on Twitpic.
According to an article People Magazine, the Super Bowl was a family affair. Kim brought her mother and brother to Miami with her and dined with Bush's family a few nights before the game.
Reggie Bush was drafted by the Saints in 2006, after he chose not to play college football his senior year at USC. He was the second overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and has been playing for the Saints since. He started dating Kim Kardashian in 2007, and is still dating her after only a small split from July to September 2009.

Kendra Wilkinson (best known for "The Girls Next Door", also on E!), on the other hand, was less excited about the outcome of the Super Bowl. As the wife of the Indiannapolis Colts' wide receiver, she was saddened by the loss. That wasn't the only think that upset her, however. According to an article in People Magazine:
It was an emotional scene after the Super Bowl: Kendra Wilkinson in tears as she rushed out of the stadium holding her baby son.
But the reality star says she wasn't upset over the Indianapolis Colts' loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in a game in which her husband Hank Baskett mishandled an on-side kick, leading to a Saints scoring drive.
"I wasn't cryin cuz of the damn game it's cuz the paparazzi have no soul... they wouldn't leave me n family alone!!!!" she wrote on her Twitter page Monday.
She added: "People like to twist this stuff... we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn't care at allllllll."
She did enjoy watching her hubby play with her baby, however (seen on Twitpic).
