New Super Bowl "Scandal": Prince's Penisgate!

Alas, Justin Timberlake didn't expose anyone's nipple this year. But, Super Bowl XL did offer a fries-with-that K-Fed, a surprising Letterman-Oprah cuddle, and - our personal favorite - an unsubtle allusion to what Prince usually hides behind his guitar (for the full effect, check out this YouTube clip.)

And without any further foreplay, here are Usmagazine.com's Super Bowl celebrity highlights:

It's one thing to pay celebrities to pimp your products, it's another to get celebrities to whore themselves out shamelessly for you! That's what GM did in this brilliant ad showing a demure and gorgeous Mary J. Bligeand others singing Chevy-inspired songs.

We'd like to say Budweiser could have picked a more annoying and less likeable "comedian" than Carlos Mencia as a spokesperson - but we're honestly having trouble coming up with who that numbnut possibly could be.

Certainly not annoying was Jim Gaffigan. Hats off to any man who could sport a beard comb-over, cut-off jean shorts and rollerskates in a single Sierra Mist commercial. It makes up for the second spot, where Gaffigan's karate chop silliness fails to make us laugh. At all.

We know K-Fed's Nationwide Insurance ad was supposed to be the half-time show of the Super Bowl commercial competition, but David Letterman completely killed with his low-concept canoodle (bravo to La Oprah for agreeing to this).

As for K-Fed's much-hyped Nationwide ad, it was definitely worth the money. Not only did it make the former Mr. Britney Spears seem less like a gold-digging babies' daddy, it was an effective ad for opening up an annuity: Who better to caution us to invest wisely?

But we're at a loss to explain that dull-as-Hilary-Duff Sheryl Crowe Revlon ad – it must have been shot at 3 p.m. with nary an almond in sight.

Prince, however, showed off his affinity for nuts – at least for his own. During his electric half-time set, the pop icon performed in raging-hormone heat – so much so that during Purple Rainhe ducked behind a screen and started playing what looked like, uh, Prince Jr. (For the full effect, check out this YouTube clip.)

Ok, we all knew it was a guitar. But backlit against a shimmering bed sheet like that, with Prince's wrist twisting to and fro, it looked like it could have been his Little Red Corvette.
