Celebs get Super weekend started

Celebrities invaded Arizona to get the Super Bowl parties started.

The Super Bowl may be Sunday, but the parties started on Thursday. And who better than Paris to get them started right?

If you were wondering who Paris was grooving to, it was none other than 50 Cent, accompanied on stage here by Ludacris.

The 944 Magazine/Pontiac party also drew the Kardashians, Kourtney and Chloe, to Scottsdale, Ariz., along with a few other pretty faces ...

.. like January Jones ...

... and Jenny McCarthy.

It's not a suprise that party animals Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado were drawn to the desert for the Super festivities.

It's also not a big shock that there were plenty of athletes there, too, including the Cowboys' Terrell Owens ...

... the Vikings' Adrian Peterson and ...

... future NFL'er Colt Brennan, who quarterbacked Hawaii to the Sugar Bowl last season.

And former NBA star Dennis Rodman can liven up any party.

The Pontiac party wasn't the only game in town. Tommy Lee heads into the Super Thursday block party at Scottsdale's Axis/Radius nightclub.

He was joined there by a more stylish Nick Lachey and Vannessa Minnillo, as well as ...

David Spade

Indy Racing League driver Danica Patrick

NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson and his wife

Scottsdale didn't have all the celebs, though. Ne-Yo and Mary J. Blige entertained the crowd at the VH1 Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash in Glendale.

Maroon 5's Adam Levine rocked the stage at Jobing.com Arena, too.

You can catch the event on VH1 on Saturday at 10 p.m.

Exclusive performances from Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo and Adam Levine will be available on demand on VSPOT, VH1's broadband network, at http://vpot.vh1.com
