Forget the game—the hottest ticket in town was the Victoria's Secret What Is Sexy? party, hosted by VS Angels Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova. The bash was held at Taste Ultra Lounge, where Ryan Seacrest walked the carpet. I asked for his two cents on how Paula Abdul's pregame performance would go.
"I wouldn't want it to be me coming back after 12 years to a Super Bowl-sized audience, but she's brave," the American Idol emcee told me. "I heard the song...and it's actually a great record. Simon [Cowell] said depressingly, unfortunately, it's good. So, I hope it goes all the way to number two."
I also asked Sexiest Smile winner Ryan what wasn't sexy. "All the guys that gather for the Super Bowl," he quipped. "I mean, it's all dudes in this town! That's not so sexy."
Hey, you don't hear me complaining about all the men making the scene!
But don't feel bad for Ryan. Seems he found himself a female friend, after all, at Tao/944's House of Hennessy.
Also on the carpet was Kristin Cavallari, who shot down the rumor that she may appear on The Hills next season. "I never wanted to be, and I never will want to be," she said, before adding that she and ex-b-f Brody Jenner are "just really good friends." Guess that explains why she was sitting at his table the entire night. So friendly.
In the VIP area, Katherine Heigl tossed back tequila shots with January Jones and cozied up to hubby Josh Kelley, who performed later in the evening. Partygoers like Kate Walsh and Matt Leinart sipped on yummy Cape North cocktails and noshed on MyFries low-fat french fries, while dancing to tunes by deejay Benji Madden.
Even Angels Selita and Karolina were out on the dance floor, looking ridiculously hot while shaking their butts. Post-party, guests scored fab gift bags stocked with Victoria's Secret beauty goodies, lingerie and massage oil. Sexy for sure!
