Among those watching was her hubby, Illuminati Hov, who proudly tweeted from his rarely used Twitter account: Bey excitedly took to her Instagram to post the photo above from her triumphant Super Bowl stage.

Isn’t that sweet? (Cue “Girls” aka “Pon The Floor”). Hit the flip for coupled up post-show pics of the Illuminati Royal couple and photos and tweets from Jennifer and Alicia.

Fox News and the NRA butted heads over gun control this morning. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre reiterated his organization’s claim that all children deserve the same amount of protection that the President Obama’s daughters receive. Host Chris Wallace responded, “That’s ridiculous and you know it, sir.” Chris Wallace-Wayne LaPierre Interview on Fox news The interview got particularly heated when Wallace brought up the controversial NRA ad labeling Obama an elitist hypocrite for opposing armed security in schools. “They also face a threat that most children do not face,” Wallace said of Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, who receive Secret Service protection. “Tell that to the people in Newtown,” LaPierre responded. “You really think that the president’s children are the same kind of target as every other child in America?” Wallace said. “That’s ridiculous and you know it, sir.” LaPierre came out swinging at other points in the interview as well, even insinuating that the White House wants background checks as a way of tracking citizens. “I think what they’ll do is they’ll turn this universal [background] check on the law-abiding into a universal registry on law-abiding people,” he said. Wallace said the White House hasn’t mentioned any universal registry. “And ObamaCare wasn’t a tax until they needed it to be a tax,” LaPierre responded, referencing the 2010 health care law and 2012 Supreme Court ruling. “I don’t think you can trust these people,” the NRA president added, apparently unmoved and not swayed by yesterday’s Obama gun photo release.

We’re just three hours away from Super Bowl 2013 (or Super Bowl XLVII to be more accurate), and the NFL title game does not lack for storylines. A replacement quarterback who became a star. A sibling rivalry among coaches. The grandest of exits for one of the NFL’s greatest players. Oh, and even a little deer-antler spray for good measure. There’s also a chance for history. A win over Ray Lewis and Baltimore Ravens gives the San Francisco 49ers six titles, tying Pittsburgh’s record. Unlike the Steelers, the Niners have never lost the Super Bowl. Neither have the Ravens, who won their only previous appearance 12 years ago. San Francisco hasn’t won since 1995, when star QB Colin Kaepernick was seven years old. Can he write a new chapter for the franchise tonight? The 49ers are four-point favorites, but that means little to the Ravens, who made it here by shocking Denver and New England on the road. You tell us: Who will win Super Bowl XLVII? The 49ers The Ravens View Poll »
Katherine Webb is one bad becky! Darnell Dockett And AJ McCarron Fight Over Katherine Webb Darnell Dockett and AJ McCarron are still fighting over Katherine Webb . Via NY Post reports: Nearly a month after Webb became famous watching her boyfriend, McCarron, help lead Alabama to a national title game win over Notre Dame, Arizona Cardinals defensive end Dockett continued his Twitter passes at the beautiful brunette Friday, telling her to “bring Lil AJ too” to a lunch date. “Aye @_KatherineWebb we still on for lunch,” Dockett tweeted. “I’m suggestion [sic] a spot in calliope projects bring Lil AJ too! My boyz will keep him comapany.” Calliope Projects is a public-housing development in New Orleans. Apparently, all three – Dockett, Webb and McCarron – are down there this weekend for the Super Bowl. How do we know this? Well, it’s all in McCarron’s reply tweet. “Pro player and u gotta try & be twitter thirsty!” McCarron sent back to Dockett. “I saw you today bro with Katherine looked dead at you & u didn’t say a thing!” McCarron wasn’t done either, inviting Dockett to his hometown and probably not for a Super Bowl party. “Come to mobile sometime if ya want to!” McCarron tweeted. “I got plenty of boys that will keep u company!” Alabama and McCarron won the national championship, but the true winner in the game was Webb, who watched her boyfriend from the stands with his family. ESPN commentator Brent Musburger gushed about how good looking Webb was and told young boys in Alabama to start throwing the ball around in the backyard so maybe they, too, one day could have a girlfriend as gorgeous as McCarron’s. Dockett took to Twitter soon after and sent Webb a tweet with his number. He said afterward that Webb wasn’t his type – he only likes “hood chicks” – but apparently his views have changed. Who should Katherine choose?
