How Many People Checked Into the Super Bowl Via Foursquare?

There was a lot of geekiness surrounding this year's Super Bowl — besides an awesome Volkswagen ad featuring a mini Darth Vader, the Super Bowl was the first venue that anyone could check into via Foursquare regardless of where they were.

VW Darth Vader Gets Unmasked, Kinda Looks Like Mark Hamill

The Volkswagen ad called The Force was far and away my favorite spot from this weekend's Super Bowl.

The Volkswagen ad called The Force was far and away my favorite spot from this weekend's Super Bowl. While I was hoping that little Darth would be a girl (there's a pink room!), the actor that played Darth Vader in the ad was unmasked earlier today on The Today Show in NYC.

Not only is 6-year-old Max Page totally adorable, but he's got a story, too: at just 3 months old, he had his first open heart surgery due to a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. While Max has never actually seen Star Wars for himself (it's too scary), he does slightly resemble the original trilogy's star, Mark Hamill, don't you think?

Check out Max on The Today Show in the video after the break!

The Top 5 Most Star-Studded Commericals From the 2011 Super Bowl

Between plays on the football field yesterday, we were treated to the standard deluge of creative Super Bowl commercials.

Between plays on the football field yesterday, we were treated to the standard deluge of creative Super Bowl commercials. All of the major players showed up — Doritos, soda, beer, cars — but sometimes ads are even better when they involve a recognizable face or two. Our favorite commercial didn't even endorse a product: the NFL stirred up some feelings of nostalgia by dressing our favorite TV characters from past and present in festive fan garb.

The celebrity goodness didn't end there though: there were cameos from Adrien Brody, Justin Bieber, and more. Check out the rest of the commercials starring celebs when you read more

Celeb Style: Olivia Munn

Super Bowl attendees usually keep it sporty, but leave it to Perfect Couples actress Olivia Munn to stray from the typical.

Super Bowl attendees usually keep it sporty, but leave it to Perfect Couples actress Olivia Munn to stray from the typical. She attended a postgame event looking perfectly chic in a strapless polka-dot dress, nipped in at the waist with a black leather belt. She kept her accessories simple, opting for a turquoise cocktail ring and an amazing pair of fuchsia Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly suede heels ($1,195).

Gwen Stefani toted a L.A.M.B. bag as she arrived at a Super Bowl party with her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale and their sons Kingston and Zuma in LA yesterday. The new L'Oreal hair and makeup spokesmodel is back home and focusing on family time again after making a quick trip out of town last week. She'll be on the go again soon, though, when she heads to the Big Apple to show her latest collection at New York Fashion Week.

Will.I.Am Wanted to Tweet Live From the Halftime Show . . . but AT&T Didn't Work

Verizon's best advertising yet may have come from an unexpected place: the Black Eyed Peas halftime performance at yesterday's Super Bowl.

Verizon's best advertising yet may have come from an unexpected place: the Black Eyed Peas halftime performance at yesterday's Super Bowl.

At&t??? Wow...no service during halftime...unbelievableless than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

After initially planning to live-tweet the performance (and even getting some heavy hitters to help spread the word), Will.I.Am's efforts were thwarted by AT&T's network.

He was tweeting from an AT&T BlackBerry; perhaps it's time to make the switch? Someone get this guy a Verizon iPhone . . . stat!
