Thanks for joining me for another year of live Superbowl commercial blogging. I hope you had as much fun as I did!

We didn’t see quite as many blockbuster commercial extravaganzas this year, but the bunch that were true Superbowl commercials were pretty good. Again this year, Budweiser wins for most original commercial spots. No question there.

Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong decide to split up

Every day is a winding road for this celebrity couple. Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong won’t be getting married afterall.

Lance Armstrong, Crow Decide to Split:

Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow have split, the couple announced in a joint statement Friday night. The seven-time Tour de France champion and the rock star announced their engagement in September. It would have been her first marriage and his second. He has three children from a previous marriage.

”After much thought and consideration we have made a very tough decision to split up. We both have a deep love and respect for each other and we ask that everyone respect our privacy during this very difficult time,” the statement said.

Even celebrity couples that seem really good together don’t last these days…
