The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers may be basking in the limelight of the biggest football weekend of the year but they're not the only ones playing ball. And they certainly don't have Hayden Panettiere on their teams.
Celebs like Panettiere, Matthew Morrison (as an assistant coach) and Jerry Ferrara took to the field in Dallas on Saturday for a star-studded game of flag football, hosted by DIRECTV.
The Celebrity Beach Bowl pinned stars like Glee's Chord Overstreet, Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr and Chace Crawford who were on Team Spike agains, True Blood's Joe Manganiello and Josh Duhamel, who made Team Palladia.
Scream 4's Panettiere, 21, snagged the title as the "Most Inspirational Player," while Entourage's Ferrara, 31, beat out all of his teammates, including former NFL players, to win "Most Valuable Player" of the game. Both played the sand-filled field for the champion Team Spike, which was coached by Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy.
"I won an award for football!" Panettiere tells PEOPLE. "It has to be because the ball hit me in the face."
Touchdown by Szohr
Panettiere wasn't the only leading lady proving football wasn't a boys-only sport: Szohr scored a touchdown for her team and model Marisa Miller, last year's MVP, dove for catches and chased her opponents down the field.
Despite the competition, there were no hard feelings for the losing team, and most of the celeb football stars hit the nearby W Hotel for a luxury lounge after-party while Maroon 5 entertained the post-game party at Victory Park.
Plus, there's always next season, according to Duhamel, who was on the not-so-victorious Team Palladia.
"We lost but this was a lot of fun," he says. "I'll definitely do this again next year."
Shia LaBeouf got in a bar fight Friday night and was placed in handcuffs, but was eventually released.
Hanging out at one of his favorite watering holes, the Mad Bulls Tavern in Sherman Oaks, California, things got a little out of hand and Shia was punched in the face by a local patron.
Sources close to the star say that he was jumped on his way out of the bar.
Police arrived shortly after and everyone involved were placed in handcuffs.
Luckily for Shia, he was soon let go and no arrest record was made.
Wowsa. We're not sure what went down, but it does seem like Shia has a bit of a temper, doesn't he??
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star Shia LaBeouf was briefly handcuffed and released in the wee hours of Saturday morning after an alleged bar fight, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
An eyewitness to the altercation at Mad Bull's Tavern in Sherman Oaks, Calif., tells Us the actor, 24, was taunted by a fellow patron inside the bar before being "sucker punched in the mouth" when their conversation was taken outside. A second eyewitness reports singer Ashlee Simpson was also at Mad Bull's Saturday, but her proximity to the fight is not known.
When reached for comment, Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Taylor of the Van Nuys division confirms the patrons picking on LaBeouf "fled" before police arrived.
"It was just boys being boys. Things got really out of hand and it didn't have to go down the way it did," Mad Bull's Tavern owner Richard DiSisto tells Us. "No one needed or should have gotten hurt, things could have been dealt with in an entirely different way."
The actor's weekend incident -- initially reported by HollyScoop.com -- is not his first brush with the law. Though the charges were later dropped, LaBeouf was arrested in Hollywood on suspicion of drunk driving in July 2008.
Reports suggest that RiRi will team up with Will.I.Am to add some star power to the 17-year-olds album, due in August.
The Whats My Name stars admiration for Cher came after she saw her perform on The X Factor, an insider told the Daily Star. Rihanna is a big fan of Cher. She told Will.I.Am how much she loved her after her X Factor appearance and the two of them spoke about how successful she could be in the States. Will has since talked to Rihanna about the three of them working on a track for Chers album.
In other Rihanna news, she has apparently been asked to scale back her performance at The BRIT Awards 2011, where she is nominated for International Female Solo Artist.
Organisers are said to be worried about the amount of fireworks she plans to use, which would mean they are lumped with an enormous insurance premium due to the added safety risk.
Shes not the only one Plan B has similarly been instructed to tone down his performance.
The awards ceremony takes place on 15 February at Londons O2 Arena.

This years Comic-Con in particular is poised to be perhaps the biggest yet.

"Have fun!" advises Hugh Jackman, who hosted Hollywood's big night all by himself in 2009. Jackman, 42, shared his suggestion while attending Friday night's Audi Forum Dallas pre-Superbowl cocktail party.
As PEOPLE's 2008 Sexiest Man Alive also wishes to tell Hathaway and Franco: "Enjoy the gala! Enjoy the first hour, the first hour and a half. From that moment on, there are a lot of seat fillers out there and people who are really tired."
Jackman's appearance as host received critical acclaim for his high energy, his singing and dancing, and his sex appeal. At the beginning of the show, he got things off to a rousing start by pulling Hathaway from her seat so she could help him pay musical tribute to the year's nominated films.
As Hathaway later told PEOPLE, her favorite moment of that night was "being in Hugh Jackman's arms and him carrying me on stage!"
The 83rd annual Academy Awards will air live Sunday, Feb. 27, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC from Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.
