It's Super Bowl eve, so we're going with an all-SB edition of Do It Today:
The Good Life Experience The three-night bacchanal at The Venue culminates with tonight's Diddy-hosted "Icons of the Good Life" event, which promises to be "an opulent night of glamour and extravagance." Stars are sure to stud the joint, and with prices like these — $400/$700 — stars may be the only people who can afford it. Look for CL's Eric Snider on the red carpet. The Venue, 2675 Ulmerton Road, St. Petersburg, Sat., Jan. 31, doors open 8 p.m., goodlifeexperience.com.
Diddy's may be the most glamorous SB event, but you can catch come starpower (or at least some fur-power) at events today that are absolutely free.
DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl If the celebrity lineup for this free event pans out as promised, it might just outdo the star wattage of the Diddy party. The biggest names may be the coaches: Reggie Bush, Steve Young, Eli Manning and Warren Moon. But the players aren't too shabby, either: DirecTV is touting a roster that includes Kevin Dillon, Christian Slater, Gossip Girl hotties Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, Brothers & Sisters' Dave Annable, the ubiquitous Kardashians, the obligatory Playmates, various NFL stars and NASCAR's Kasey Kahne. And there's a post-game show by LL Cool J. Kickoff at 1 p.m., Sat., Jan. 31, Progress Energy Park, 203 First Ave. S., St. Petersburg, free admission for spectators, 727-825-3137.
The Ultimate Tailgate Pawty Humane Society of Pinellas hosts a daytime fundraisin' party with its HSP live animal mascots Duncan and Daisy, food, vendors of all varieties, a kid's play area, doggie demos and agility shows, games, contests and adoptable pets. Socialized pets are welcome to attend. Sat., Jan. 31, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Coachman Park, 301 Drew St., Clearwater, free admission, 727-797-7722, humanesocietyofpinellas.org.
More Saturday events after the jump.
