Rob Lowe, family are die-hard Colts fans

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Actor Rob Lowe isn’t just another celebrity who lucked up on a Super Bowl ticket. He’s a dedicated follower of the Indianapolis Colts who has the mileage to prove it.

The actor watched the Colts win their playoff games for their Super Bowl berth, and now he and his family celebrated by going to the championship.

Said Lowe: “My son Johnny is an even bigger Colts fan than I am. So we couldn’t fly all the way to Indiana, twice in a row, two weeks in a row, and not come here.”

Lowe is on the ABC drama “Brothers & Sisters” but announced last month he was living the series. He said his departure is bittersweet.

Jessica Alba appalled by reports of woman’s surgery

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery for Jessica Alba.

The actress said Saturday she’s been distressed by Internet reports about a Chinese woman who is having a plastic surgery makeover to look like Alba in hopes of getting her lover back.

“I think you should never have to change yourself like that,” Alba said. “If somebody loves you, they’ll love you no matter what.”

Alba, who is starring in the upcoming film “Valentine’s Day,” is in town for the Super Bowl; she was at an Audi party Friday with Hilary Swank, Taylor Lautner, Rob Lowe, New York Giant Osi Umenyiora and former New England Patriot Tedy Bruschi. It was one of numerous celebrity soirees attached to the Super Bowl.

But she’s not in town just to party — she and hubby Cash Warren were at Sunday’s game. They hired a baby sitter to take care of their toddler daughter, Honor, for the big game, but they’ve been spending the week enjoying Miami with their little girl.

Bolshoi members to perform with Cubans

HAVANA — Several leading members of Russia’s famed Bolshoi ballet will perform with their Cuban counterparts during an upcoming visit to Havana.

Cuba’s state-run media says it will be the first time in three decades that the renowned troupe performs on the island.

The Communist party daily Granma reported Sunday that the performance will take place next Saturday during Havana’s international book fair, which this year is being sponsored by Russia.

The dancers, including Elena Andrienko, Ruslan Skvorsto, Ana Antonicheva and Dimitri Belogolovstsev, will be directed by Alicia Alonso, the 89-year-old grande dame of Cuban dance.

The Cuban-Russian performance will include scenes from such classics as “Swan Lake,” “Giselle” and “Carmen.”
