The first winner of the U.S. version of Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" is going to have plenty of reasons to smile – in fact, 5 million reasons.

The winner of the reality competition – which will premiere in Fall 2011 on FOX – will walk away with a $5 million record deal, the network announced on Monday.

The prize marks the largest guaranteed prize in TV history and when asked on a conference call with reporters on Monday afternoon if he was nervous about giving away such a hefty sum, Simon said it did, in fact, make him quiver.

If Snooki really does head down the aisle anytime soon, she's already got a volunteer to provide the entertainment at her wedding reception – her "Jersey Shore" roommate, Pauly D.

Access Hollywood caught up with the GTL'ing reality star/DJ at the Maxim Super Bowl Party in Dallas over the weekend, where Pauly said if Snooks is getting hitched, he's spinning the tunes.

Plus, how is Pauly getting ready for the cast's trip to Italy?

A two-minute ad for Chrysler starring Eminem and a Volkswagen ad featuring a mini-Darth Vader that went viral before it even aired were two of the most talked-about spots during advertising's big night, Super Bowl XLV, in which Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25.

Joan Rivers made her debut as GoDaddy.co's new spokeswoman in a commercial during Sunday night's Super Bowl and the comedy legend is already feeling the heat!

"Modern Family" is one of my favorite shows and I am still thinking about how striking Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen looked on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

No - I could never pull off Sofia's plunging gown or Julie's low-cut pantsuit, but their makeup - well, that's achievable!

President Barack Obama won't get to cheer for his beloved Bears, but he's throwing a Super Bowl party anyway, his beloved hometown team falling one short of the title game.

Which part of Sunday's activities might give him the most heartburn? The Chicago Bears' archrivals, the Green Bay Packers, fighting it out with the Pittsburgh Steelers? The Wisconsin sausage in the gift baskets carted in by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett? The pregame interview with Fox's Bill O'Reilly?

Fox is televising the game, so Obama is keeping with tradition — he sat down with CBS' Katie Couric last year and NBC's Matt Lauer the year before.
