Five Facts About Super Bowl 48
The "New York Post" has put together a list of 48 Facts About Super Bowl 48. It includes: No member of the Seahawks has ever appeared in the Super Bowl . . . and only four Broncos have. Quarterback Peyton Manning is the only one who has a ring.
1. No member of the Seahawks has ever appeared in the Super Bowl. This is the first time since the 1990 Buffalo Bills that a team had no prior experience. The Bills lost the Super Bowl that year . . . and they also lost the year after, the year after that, and then the year after THAT.
2. Peyton Manning is the only player on either team to win a Super Bowl ring. Only three others have even appeared in the Big Game . . . Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker (2008, 2012), tight end Jacob Tamme (2010) and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2009).
3. Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno's first name is a combination of his father's nickname, "Knowledge," and his mother's name, "Varashon."
4. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is a diehard fan of The Grateful Dead.
5. The Broncos have more than 466,000 Twitter followers, while the Seahawks have over 428,000. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman leads players with the most followers at more than 736,000 . . . most of which he probably got over the past two weeks.
(You can find all 48 on NYPost.com. If you want MORE, Forbes.com has another 48 interesting facts on the Super Bowl.)
Seven Super Bowl Randoms: Colin Kaepernick Didn't Like Richard Sherman's Outburst . . . a Super Bowl Prostitution Bust . . . and More
1. Not surprisingly, San Francisco 49ers quarterback COLIN KAEPERNICK was NOT a fan of RICHARD SHERMAN'S outburst, after they lost to the Seahawks. He said, quote, "The question [to Sherman] wasn't even directed toward that . . .
"And [he] just went off on a tangent. Just like, 'Oh, [MICHAEL CRABTREE is] a mediocre receiver' and this and that. Really? You're gonna call him a mediocre receiver? . . . Come on."
2. New York cops busted a "high-end" prostitution ring yesterday, which was apparently hoping to capitalize on all the rich people coming to New Jersey for the Super Bowl. In all 18 people were arrested.
It's unclear exactly how they were caught, but supposedly they were actually advertising on PUBLIC ACCESS TV . . . so that probably didn't help.
3. If you weren't aware, New Yorkers are apparently not too fond of sportscaster JOE BUCK. A new FunnyOrDie.com skit shows him trying to shoot a Super Bowl promo in the city, but he keeps getting interrupted by New Yorkers saying they HATE him.
Sexy Pictures of Famous People
1. Sexy Video: 68-year-old minx HELEN MIRREN TWERKED while accepting the Woman of the Year Award from a Harvard theatrical group. (Skip to the 1:50 mark at the video here for that glorious moment.)
2. If VANESSA HUDGENS wants to finally break free of her Disney image, then the shirt she wore jogging the other day should help. It had the word "Dank" spelled out in Disney lettering, with a pot leaf in place of the "a". (Dank is a slang term for something of high quality. It's often used to describe weed.)
3. There's an app called FatBooth that can manipulate pictures so people look a lot more candy-coated than they really are. It was only a matter of time before someone used it on celebrities.
4. And now . . . 22 GIFs of the ridiculousness that went down during MILEY CYRUS'"MTV Unplugged" special.

Zac Efron's "Awkward Moment" and Kate Winslet's "Labor Day"
1. "That Awkward Moment" (R) Trailer
Zac Efron stars in this movie about three guys trying to avoid commitment, who end up getting sucked into relationships anyway. His friends are played by Miles Teller, who was Willard in the "Footloose" remake, and Michael B, Jordan from "Fruitvale Station".
(Ladies, you NEED to check out the Red Band Trailer, if for no other reason than to see Zac's unclothed body at the 0:57 mark. You'll probably also enjoy the scene at 2:13 where he goes a party with a fake penis hanging out of his pants.)
Kate Winslet plays a single mom who falls in love with Josh Brolin, an escaped convict who forces her to hide him in her home. It's narrated by Tobey Maguire and directed by Jason Reitman, who did "Juno" and "Thank You For Smoking".
(That last name sounds familiar because Jason's dad, Ivan Reitman, is the guy who did "Ghostbusters", "Stripes", "Twins", "Kindergarten Cop", and "Junior".)
3. And now, some limited releases you may or may not care about:

What's the Mysterious "Seinfeld" Project? Here Are Six Clues
JERRY SEINFELD says the secret project he recently filmed with JASON ALEXANDER is NOT a Super Bowl commercial . . . but Jason DID play George Costanza, and that "other 'Seinfeld' characters" were involved.

2. Other 'Seinfeld' characters" WERE involved, and Larry David was NOT on camera, just like on "Seinfeld".
3. Not all the filming was done at the restaurant, and that there were "other locations." But they did NOT include "an apartment on the West Side."
4. It's longer than 60 seconds, but it's more of a short-form thing. And he wouldn't say what company filmed it.
5. We'll see it, quote, "very, very soon." But it's not something that will continue. Quote, "I think it's one and done."
6. In denying that it's a Super Bowl ad or a "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" thing, he also added, quote, "BUT, it is not NOT those things, either." Typical Seinfeld humor.

Is a "Full House" Reunion in the Works?
JOHN STAMOS is hinting at a "Full House" reunion. He says, quote, "There's sort of one in the works. We've been so protective of its legacy, and we can't say yet. But as we're speaking now, there's a little bit of a twist on a reunion, and hopefully it'll happen. Because everyone wants to see it!"
