NEWSOK!'s Super Bowl Party Guide: Celebs Head to Hot Miami!
Feb. 3 2010, Published 4:52 a.m. ET
OK! is heading south for the dazzling hot sun in Miami for the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV where we’ll once again be joining the A-list celebs and all-star athletes for a week of celebratory bashes and pre-game festivities as the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts get ready to rumble!
Playboy, which took last year off and decided not to throw their annual bash due to economic woes, is back in action this year (after all, no one wants to miss a chance to head to Miami in February). On top of being one of best the nightlife cities, Miami is also home to Jennifer Lopez, who will be making the party rounds along with some of the Twilight castmates and stars from our guilty pleasure, Jersey Shore!
OK! NEWS: SNOOKI STALKS THE STARS AT THE GRAMMYS!
While we hope we don’t come back looking like a Snooki-colored Oompa Loompa, we can guarantee that we’ll return to NYC with a tan after a week of party-hopping and poolside festivities. We’ll be swinging by Kari Feinstein’s Style Lounge, the Hennessy Black Penthouse and Hotel 944 at Eden Roc during the day.
Here are OK!'s top 10 bashes this year:
