watching football with celebrities

The Miami Dolphins have been trying to raise their profile by paying for celebrities to attend their games including flying them to Miami and picking up their hotel bill. All the celebs have to do is attend the game, wave to the people on the jumbo tron and conduct radio and TV interviews. Even with those small duties, the Dolphins have been having trouble getting stars to come to their events.

I think the 0-7 record may contribute to their problems. So far they've been able to entice Terrance Howard, who I admittingly had to look up on imdb.com. At last weekend's game, the Patriots however were able to get Matt Damon and Matt Dillon to head over to their away game in Miami.

The team's hired PR gal Doris Porter had suggested flying in such high profile stars as Britney Spears, her ex-hubby Kevin Federline and Lindsay Lohan. Because nothing gets people to a game like trailer trash celebs. Fortunately, owner Wayne Huizenga put the kibosh on the idea.

Porter had been able to entice Cane star Eddie Motas to attend a game earlier in the season and is working on getting David Beckham, the new emperor of all American sports, Miami resident Anna Kournikova and The Hills star Lauren Conrad to show up to a game. Hey, I've got a way to attrack fans to your new $300 million facility...win some games!
