Pathetic.

Actually they're jealous and scared shitless because deep down they know Madonna is the real deal and that Lady Bifida is NOTHING!

Nice Washington Post article, groovy. :)

So, what will she cut from the songs? The second verse of "Like a Prayer," I imagine. Gonna have to be some cuts to squeeze four songs into 12 minutes (and 40 seconds). And some of that probably will have some unnecessary snippet of an LMFAO track.

Although I'll be working during the super bowl, I can't wait 'till i get home and watch it online. I'm sure it will be all over the tube.

I doubt a channel called 24h WORLD NEWS would air the Superbowl.

BBC World News :)

Sometimes they do air specific events.

But since it's already on BBC one maybe not.

LMFAO will probably be on GMAYL since they're on the remix.

The superbowl didnt finish Janet off, her music did. :confused: (coming from a fan).

I'm a fan as well and I agree. She could've just been ballsy (like Madonna) and bitched her way through. Anyhow, it's about her music, it's never gotten better even though I did enjoy the first singles for her more recent albums...I wish the albums would have been better. You cant blame Madonna for her failure in taking control of a massive oppurtunity to spin the media and garner more attention.

At Super Bowl XLVI, all eyes on Madonna

By Suzi Parker

At her Boy Toy 1980s zenith, Madonna would have hardly been Super Bowl material. She was too edgy, too rebellious, too naughty. And back then, Madonna wouldn't have wanted to perform at one of the most conventional events in America. It would have cramped her

Madonna at a news conference about NFL football's Super Bowl XLVI's halftime show. (Matt Slocum - AP) style.

But that was then.

At tonight’s Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, she’ll will perform for an estimated 117 million viewers. Has Madonna Louise Ciccone, free spirit and ex-pat, ended up being as all-American as Tom Brady?

Her performance, naturally, isn’t without controversy.

Madge’s critics have already said she is a ghastly match for the likes of the Super Bowl. They say she is a faded star at age 53. They gripe that her faux British accent is annoying. But she’s ignoring the naysayers. Instead, Madonna says that performing at the Super Bowl is “a Midwesterner Girl’s dream.”

In the video age, the Material Girl defied conformity, preferring to push buttons that made parents and the Moral Majority cringe but teenagers squeal. And she did it so well, wearing crucifixes, burning crosses and angering the Pope so much that he banned her from performing in Italy.

Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide. Guinness World Records identifies her as the world’s top selling female recording artist of all time. She is a diva, and proud of it.

Her detractors claim the only reason she is performing is to generate a larger share of women viewers for the Super Bowl. But what w

Madonna a the "W.E." premiere during the 55th BFI London Film Festival in London last October. (Gareth Cattermole - GETTY IMAGES FOR THE BFI) ould be wrong with that?

Yes, women of a certain age like Madonna. We remember dressing in black lace gloves, rubber O-ring bracelets and leggings, trying to master the moves from the “Lucky Star” music video. For many Generation X women, Madonna opened the door to sexuality – exposing us to topics that even “Cosmopolitan” didn’t address. Remember her 1992 book “Sex” wrapped in silver cellophane? Women weren’t the only ones sneaking peeks of that, rest assured, and they won’t be the only ones watching the halftime show.

On the age front, critics should tread carefully or risk looking sexist. When Paul McCartney performed in 2005 and Mick Jagger in 2006, both men were closing in on 63. Few said anything about those legendary performers’ age, but instead heralded their music legacies. In 2009, Bruce Springsteen gave such a joyful performance he seemed — though this is usually said only of women — ageless.

Madonna’s new video, “Give Me All Your Luvin,'” features Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., who will also perform at the halftime show, cheering Madonna as she strolls down a sidewalk with a baby carriage. Then generic football players carry her around like a goddess.

Having grown no more shy with age, she struts around in hot pants, fishnets and a leather jacket looking more like a thirty-something than someone eligible for her AARP card. The video also pays tribute to the ‘80s, with Madonna wearing a cross, flashing her bra and donning platinum hair from the Blond Ambition era.

Madonna could never have been a one-hit wonder because she cultivated a career of re-invention and a succession of new personas in the then-new world of music video.

In 1992, she founded the entertainment company Maverick as a joint venture with Time Warner. Five years ago, she signed a $120 million contract with Live Nation, unprecedented at the time.

Madonna also made movies – some good, some terrible – and documentaries such as “Truth or Dare.” She won a Golden Globe for her role as Eva Peron in “Evita” in 1996. She has also been a fashion designer, a children’s book author, film director and producer, and the mother of four children – two biological and two adopted.

She has a new movie, “W.E,” about Wallis Simpson that she co-wrote and directed. (It hasn’t received glowing reviews, but negativity never stops Madonna.) She has also hinted that she could launch a world tour this year. Bottom line: She needs to do some promotion and make another come-back.

The best way to do that? Perform in front of half the country and have everyone humming “Vogue” at the office on Monday morning.

Ten things to know about Super Bowl XLVI halftime. 02/05/2012

10. The NFL is ready to accept women again. Madonna is the first female invited to headline the Super Bowl halftime show since Janet Jackson did what she did back in 2004 (technically, last year's act, the Black Eyes Peas were 25% female, but I think we'd all like to just forget that happened). Madonna hasguaranteed that there will be no wardrobe malfunctions, which is just as well, because if there's any part of Madonna you'd like to see, she likely exposed it publicly long ago.

9. Madonna is doing this for free (kind of). Curious about how much the NFL is paying Madonna for her services on Sunday? Nada. Madonna's doing this one for free. What she does get out of the deal is nearly immeasurable exposure. More than 110 million people are going to watch this, and she has 12 minutes to do whatever she wants. For comparison's sake, last week, 19.6 million people watched American Idol. As far as I know, American Idol doesn't just give away 12-minute segments to anyone who wants them. Perhaps not coincidentally …

8. Madonna has an album coming out in March. MDNA, Madonna's 12th studio album, will be available for purchase on March 26th. One single from the album, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" has been released, and you'll likely hear a portion of it performed on Sunday. You can see the football-themed video, featuring Nicki Minaj, right here.

7. It's not just Madonna, you know. Other musical acts will include the afore-mentioned Nicki Minaj, Cee-Lo Green, LMFAO, and M.I.A. If Roger Goodell likes them, perhaps they can get their own halftime show when they're 60. Several high school drumlines will also be involved, as will Cirque du Soleil. I don't know how anything will sound, but if the Cirque people are involved, it's at least going to be visually stunning.

6. Madonna was not a particularly youthful selection. For her age, she looks amazing, but Madonna is still old enough to be the mother of the oldest player in Super Bowl XLVI. That would be Kevin Faulk, Patriots running back, who is 35. Madonna is 18 years older than Kevin Faulk. When Madonna had her first number one hit, "Like A Virgin", Tom Brady was seven years old. Rob Gronkowski was still five years away from being born. Cris Collinsworth, who will be calling the game for NBC, was a fourth-year wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals.

5. If you tag the halftime show with your Shazam app, you get access to other nonsense. Shazam is all over the Super Bowl. If you've got a smartphone and the Shazam app,you can "tag" the halftime performance and get access to "exclusive content" by the artists performing during halftime. Various other advertisements will be Shazam-enabled, too, allowing you to enter contests and get wonderful offers. This is also the perfect way to announce to other guests, "I have a fancy smartphone and I care nothing about football."

4. Halftime gets stretched considerably. A normal regular-season halftime breezes by at just 12 minutes in length. The Super Bowl is more than double that at 31 minutes. Twelve of those will be occupied by Madonna, while the other 19 are for setting up and tearing down the stage. The Patriots have prepared themselves for the extended halftime by taking a 31-minute break in practice.

3. Tony Dungy would really rather you watched something else. The former Colts head coach and current NBC analyst has taped a three-minute video about adoption, and encourages you to download and watch it at halftime. You canfind it here at AdoptionJourney.org, and I don't see any reason you couldn't watch it right now, or any other time you pleased. Or completely ignore it. Which is what I find myself often doing to Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison when they're on NBC.

2. Flushing the toilet at halftime is perfectly fine. There's an urban legend that our nation's sewer system is put on the brink of collapse during halftime of the Super Bowl, since so many people will be flushing at the same time. It's not. Who better to debunk this myth than the fine people at Roto-Rooter?They say it's fine ‒ municipal sewer systems are built to handle anything you can throw at them. Flush freely.

1. The "Girls Gone Wild" guy does not want you to hear "Girls Gone Wild." A bizarre legal battle is unfolding between two people who have both done their best to convince young women that it's cool to take their clothes off. One of the tracks on Madonna's new album is titled "Girls Gone Wild," and Joe Francis, the proprietor of the popular DVD series of the same name, has threatened to sue Madonna if she plays the song at halftime. TMZ, the only possible moderator between these two parties, says the song is not a part of Madonna's set list.
