Kudos to our pals at Deadspin for unearthing this corker ...

When Peyton Manning told reporters last week that he had to turn down a lot of appearances since winning the Super Bowl, he neglected to mention one of the offers he's rumored to have accepted: a $200,000 appearance fee to spend two hours at a girl's Sweet 16 party.

Yes, that's the Super Bowl MVP showing off his shamelessly awkward dance moves with the birthday girl. And yes, that's Cedric the Entertainer to their left. No word on how much the Original King of Comedy received to be there, but I suspect he easily could have bought a couple of red Cadillacs like the one Manning won in Miami.

Deadspin has more details and photos from that party here. Seriously, if this doesn't become a skit when Manning hosts Saturday Night Live, then Lorne Michaels needs to go back there and beat someone.

UPDATE: Commenter Drew says he was at the party and that the girl in the photo is actress Mallika Sherawat.

You guys are dumb. I was at that party and no, the girl in the picture is NOT the 16th birthday girl, she's an Indian actress named Malika Sherawat.

Calling a 16 year old girl a bimbo. What are you going to do for an encore, shove an old lady into traffic? Please, get lives. All of you.

Peyton Manning can always get a job as a backup singer with Donna Summer on her next tour with all proceeds going to the Britney Spears Retirement Fund. Last Dance anyone?

Peyton Manning is very generous with his charity work and cash donations. See his website and foundation data. These idiots spending this much money keeps the money in the economy. Thanks, Peyton. We know you'll spend it well.

Go Peyton!! When you're hot, you're hot!
Who does Peyton date anyway? The tabs have been
remarkably silent on professional sports #1 bachelor. An off season reality show? (lol)... He's married to football for now and we all know it. And mama hasn't approved anyone yet.
