Hollywood vets Abe Vigoda and Betty White score gold with a side-splitting Super Bowl Sunday ad spot for candy brand Snickers! Way to put an end to all those death rumors, Abe!

Multiplatinum country cutie Carrie Underwood sungs The United States National Anthem — “The Star-Spangled Banner” — during the NFL Super Bowl XLIV Pregame Show between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens on Sunday.

How did she do?

Somehow the fancy suits at CBS managed to get The Queen of Talk and late night rivals David Letterman and Jay Leno in the same room to record an ad for tonight’s Super Bowl between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints!

Quite possibly the worst Super Bowl Party ever!

After nearly two months at No. 1, sci-fi love story Avatar fell to No. 2 at the box office this weekend after being whipped by the new romance movie Dear John.

The Indianapolis Colts will meet the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami tonight, in what promises to be a compelling contrast of styles. Wanna know what’s got Americans even more compelled? Super Bowl ads — particularly a very political one that features a former Heisman Trophy winner and his doting mother.

Tim Tebow and his mom Pam Tebow have recorded a pair of commercials created by pro-life interest group Focus on the Family and scheduled to during the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV. During her pregnancy with Tim in the mid-80s, Pam fell ill and was urged by doctors to terminate the pregnancy. She did not, and because of that decision the world has been introduced to Tim, now a University of Florida legend.

After much anticipation, the first ad has now been released. It does not contain any overtly pro-life message and is much tamer than many football fan expected. A second ad will air during tonight’s game.

Award-winning R&B crooner/producer Ne-Yo isn’t holding out much hope of ever laying down any more tracks with actress Lindsay Lohan.

The singer worked with LiLo on her 2008 single “Bossy.” They made arrangements to head back into the studio to record even more music together for her forthcoming third album, Spirit In The Dark. However, two years later, Universal Motown has halted production on the project and Ne-Yo isn’t sure he’ll hear from the tabloid darling again.

“We were doing some stuff and then it just fell off and hasn’t got back on. I’m not gonna hold my breath,” he told FOX News’ Pop Tarts Column on Friday. “Lindsay, when you’re ready to get it in, give me a call.”

Ms. Jackson has a confession: She loves Gossip Girl and thinks Chace Crawford is a total dreamboat. After all, who doesn’t? The “Escapade” singer recently revealed that she’s a big fan of The CW’s teen soap and was thrilled when she got to meet the show’s 24-year-old leading man at the MTV Video Music Awards last summer.

“I love ‘Gossip Girl’. I love the whole cast. And it’s so weird because I ended up meeting Chace Crawford. He’s beautiful. And the thing about it is, in person he’s even more beautiful. When you see him on the screen, he’s really good looking, but then you meet him in person,” the delighted 43-year-old recalls in the March issue of Wonderland Magazine. “We met at a bar, someone brought him over. It was after I did the tribute to my brother Michael at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). We talked for a minute.”

Taylor Lautner is “stretching” into a new role.

The Twilight star has been cast in the title role of Stretch Armstrong — Hasbro Toys’ rubbery ’70s action figure — in a new box office adventure from Universal Pictures. The role is one in series of titles attached to teen heartthrob, who was recently dubbed the highest-paid teen actor in Hollywood.

“In the past two years, Taylor has emerged as a real star at the global box office. He brings the perfect balance of energy and athleticism to the role of an unlikely super hero with a fantastic super power,” Universal Pictures co-chairman Donna Langley said in a statement Saturday. “We couldn’t be more pleased that he has agreed to be our Stretch.”

The 3D superhero film will be released in theaters in March 2012.

Comedy legend Bill Cosby, 73, didn’t pass away on Saturday — although a few devious Tweeters would have you believe otherwise:

“Bill Cosby was found by his wife Camille passed out on his recliner while watching TV in his Shelburne Massachusetts home. She discovered he wasn’t breathing and called 911. He was rushed to Baystate Franklin Medical Center and pronounced dead at 12:28 AM EST February 6th 2010,” read a faux CNN report that made the rounds on the popular micro-blogging website this weekend.

Have no fear, Cosby fans. A rep for the star assures us that the man famous for Puddin’ Pops and argyle sweaters is still alive, kicking, and campaigning for the young men of America to turn off the hip-hop and pull their pants up.

A Dutch man accused of stalking actress Keira Knightley was arrested in Britain this week.

The actress – who is currently starring in the West End production of The Misanthrope at The Comedy Theatre in London – called police last Thursday night to report a suspicious middle-aged man, who regularly shows up to the theater to see her.

“Keira felt threatened by this guy who turned up a number of time and tried to speak to her. He did not make any specific threats to her but she was concerned enough to call the police,” a source told The Sun Saturday.

Cops arrived and collared 41-year-old Mariek Daniluk, who has been charged with harassment. He is expected to appear in court later this month.

Police have confirmed the man was arrested outside the theater over harassment allegations.

“A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of harassment on Thursday (04.02.10). The arrest follows concern expressed by a woman,” a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told the paper.

This is not the first time Keira has been panicked by stalkers. Two years ago, the 24-year-old former Pirates of the Caribbean star uprooted her life and moved to America after developing five stalkers across the pond.

“I’m frightened out of my wits every time I see one of them,” she said at the time.

Singing star Sheryl Crow will guest on several episodes of Courteney Cox’s ABC comedy Cougar Town later this season. Instead of appearing as herself, Sheryl has signed up for the role of Grayson’s (Josh Hopkins) new love interest, Entertainment Weekly said Friday.

Her first episode is expected to air in March. ABC recently ordered a second season of the hit series, which features Cox and Busy Phillips as divorcees navigating the dating scene.

By now we’ve all heard about Xiaoqing, the demure Chinese student lovesick over an obsessed Jessica Alba fan. Xiaoqing is so heartbroken after being dumped by her Alba-lovin’ former flame that she’s busily making plans to undergo a surgical transformation to look just like the Sin City star.

And that news isn’t sitting so well with Jessica….

Last month, Xiaoqing, 21, told a newspaper in Beijing that her ex-boyfriend — a 26-year-old computer programmer — was such a huge fan of Alba’s films that he would often needle her to alter her appearance to mirror that of the stunning movie star.

He even resorting to making his girlfriend wear a blonde wig in public.

“When I broke up with my boyfriend, I was very sad….My friends… kept consoling me but it did not work, so they suggested I do plastic surgery to look like her (Jessica Alba),”she explained.

Xiaoqing’s plight has taught Jessica that imitation is not always the highest form of flattery. The actress says she’s saddened that a woman would resort to having a plastic surgery makeover to win back an ex-boyfriend.

“I think you should never have to change yourself like that,” Jessica told Reuters on Saturday. “If somebody loves you, they’ll love you no matter what.”

Warren Sapp — a retired all-star NFL lineman in South Beach for the Super Bowl — was arrested by Miami Beach Police Saturday after allegedly hitting his girlfriend.

Miami Beach Police detectives tell The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Sapp was taken into custody at approximately 5 AM Saturday morning, following an alleged incident with a female companion at The Shore Club Hotel in South Beach.

In 2009, Sapp, a former Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, teamed with pro dancer Kym Johnson for a season of DWTS.

They’re calling her the “Shirley Temple Of Samba,” but 7-year-old Julia Lira is stirring up controversy in her native Brazil after being christened the coveted Queen in this year’s Carnival in Rio De Janeiro — a role traditionally reserved for barely- clad twentysomethings.

A state agency that defends children’s rights says she’s too young to take on such a sexy gig. But Julia’s dad insists his little dancer can easily samba through the 80-minute parade route in sweltering temperatures.

After all, she’s a natural, says Marco Lira.

“Any man who looks at a 7-year-old child and feels any sort of excitement should go see a doctor….She has the aptitude to be a drum corps queen – you’ll see it tonight. She has a seriousness inside of her when she is on the stage.”

The self-described “guidos” and “guidettes” of the MTV reality show Jersey Shore have gone from unknowns to infamous in less than three months. And all that fame comes with some pretty lucrative — and downright bizarre — offers — like this one:

“Someone in California offered us $50,000 to have Pauly D walk them down the aisle at their wedding, to give them away,” says Paul’s manager, Michael Schweiger. “We rejected the offer, because Pauly is a serious DJ and all the other cast members are doing lots of personal appearances but Pauly D is not necessarily doing the personal appearances because he feels he has a lot to learn as a DJ. He does not want to be doing stuff that is unrelated to DJ-ing.”
