Eric Anderson: February 2008 Archives

As our Super Bowl XLII coverage continues, Access Hollywood is live on the scene from the Maxim Super Bowl party at the luxurious Scottsdale Princess resort. Dubbed by some of the stars as “THE” party to be at on Super Bowl weekend, here’s a live breakdown of all the action on the red carpet…

 

8:30PM – Before we hit the red carpet, Access Hollywood goes inside the party for an exclusive sitdown with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, as we put the “Hills” couple through one of our “Couples Uncensored” interviews, allowing the lovebirds to grill each other. Heidi looks more than red carpet-ready in a sexy blue mini dress, while Spencer is looking very dapper, decked out in a suave suit.

 

As the two arrive for the interview, Spencer is boasting a boom box on his shoulder that is playing Heidi’s new single.

 

Wonder if the boom box could make a fashion comeback???

 

OK, now onto the action from the red carpet!

 

9:52PM – Our first star of the night has arrived, and it’s… drum roll please…

 

David Spade.

 

The comedian hits the red carpet and (just like last night when we saw him at Nick Lachey’s party at Axis/Radius… and frankly, like just about every other time we’ve seen him) he’s rockin’ the baseball cap. David quickly makes his way down the press line, does a quick interview with Covino and Rich Show on Maxim radio and heads into the party.

 

Who will be the next star to come keep David company? We wait anxiously to find out…

 

10:12PM – It’s a good thing “E” isn’t inside, because everyone’s favorite cantankerous director Billy Walsh (aka Rhys Coiro) from “Entourage” has arrived. And who is Rhys picking to win in the big game on Sunday…

 

He won’t say.

 

That’s no fun. We'll let him off the hook since we’re huge “Queen’s Boulevard” and “Medellin” fans.

 

 

Access Hollywood was on the scene as Nick Lachey and NASCAR racer Jimmie Johnson hosted a pre-Super Bowl part at Axis/Radius in Scottsdale, Arizona. Here’s what we saw…
 
 
9:20PM - As the stars begin to trickle in, the R&B group Next arrives. Their hit song “Too Close” starts to rain from the club speakers. How did the DJ know they were here?!? Truly Hollywood magic at its finest.
 
9:30PM - Proving the red carpet can indeed be a laughing matter, funnyman David Spade arrives donning a baseball cap as usual. A few smiles for the cameras and the fans and he quickly makes his way inside.
 
9:42PM - Showing his propensity for the outdoors and an apparent immunity from mother nature, a sleeveless “American Gladiator” Wolf storms the red carpet with a smile....and a howl. Get it? Mother nature… he’s a wolf. No? Ok, moving on…
 
9:53PM – As we’ve seen all week in the Phoenix area, the line between sports and celebrity has once again been blurred as a plethora of pro baseball players arrive, including the likes of Reggie Sanders, Geoff Jenkins, Matt Kemp and Aaron Boone.
 
10:23 – About an hour after their arrival, Next is now on stage and that same hit song has played about three times since their arrival, prompting most to ask the obvious yet unavoidable question -- what's NEXT?!?

 

10:50PM – The red carpet is buzzing in anticipation. Something is coming. What could it be?
