The week started with the Super Bowl...and then it was off the rails from there!

FAMILY ALBUM: We were excited enough when Beyoncé debuted herself for the first time since giving birth (two nights in a row), but then she and Jay-Z took daughter Blue Ivy public! Squee!

SWITCHED AT BIRTH: Kylie Jenner had to know she'd be startin' somethin' by posting a pic of Khloé Kardashian Odom and a mystery man—and calling the guy Khloé's real dad!

SLIM JIM: Macaulay Culkin turned heads with his shockingly thin frame—but his rep assures (and kinda scolds) us that the 31-year-old former child star is in "perfect health."

BETTER SEEN THAN HEARD: Gisele Bündchen couldn't keep her opinionsabout both teams!—to herself during the Super Bowl as she watched the New York Giants edge out hubby Tom Brady's New England Patriots. Unladylike, yes, but she's got the Angels (and the Donald) on her side.

CRASS-TIME SHOW: M.I.A., performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at the Super Bowl, used the opportunity to flip off the event's biggest audience ever. Even the Material Girl, known for pushing the envelope in her day, noted after the fact what a "negative" move it was. Piers Morgan, meanwhile, hated the whole show.

GAY RIGHTS: As Proposition 8 was declared unconstitutional and Ellen DeGeneres and, surprisingly, Bill O'Reilly were taking a stand against the so-called values-promoting One MIllion Moms, who lashed out at JCPenney for bringing Ellen on as a spokeswoman, CNN was suspending Roland Martin after he tweeted a really random anti-gay sentiment in response to David Beckham's body-flaunting Super Bowl ad...Oh, and Snooki considers herself bisexual.

R&R: Demi Moore checked into treatment at Cirque Lodge in Utah—and she's hardly the first. And what was Glenn Close's daughter doing at Moore's house the night the actress needed an ambulance?

AWKWARD: A baseball signed by Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian was being auctioned off by the Minnesota Twins for charity until "technical difficulties" put a hitch in the bidding process. Meanwhile, Kris added more insight on his side of the 72-day-marriage story.

LAID TO REST: Nick Carter claims he was not invited to sister Leslie's funeral last weekend, blaiming the complicated Carter family dynamic, but Aaron Cartermaintains that wasn't the case.

SACRÉ BLEU: Halle Berry has had enough of her American "fans" and would like to move to France. And all of the custody issues she's having with baby daddy Gabriel Aubry might make the process easier.

ROYAL FLUSH: Kate Middleton made a royal appearance without her husband for the first time, a preview tour of the Lucien Freud exhibit at London's National Portrait Gallery...Prince Harry completed Apache Attack Helicopter training

BABY BOOM: Robert Downey Jr. and wife Susan welcomed son Exton Elias...Kourtney Kardashian broke out the maternity bikini (aka, a bikini) while vacationing with Scott and Mason in Mexico...Mariah Carey shows off dem babies, Monroe and Moroccan...Jason Lee has another son on the way (let's hope he doesn't name the lad Co-Pilot)...Marla Sokoloff and hubby Alec Puro welcomed daughter Elliotte Anne...Twilight's Jackson Rathbone and Sheila Hafsadi expecting their first child.

He was 34...Director Bobby Farrelly's 20-year-old son, Jesse, died of an apparent drug overdose.
