Kim Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher and Christina Aguilera praise Queen of Pop’s halftime performance. By James Dinh Madonna performs at Super Bowl XLVI Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic Madonna does everything big, and her Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night (February 5) was no exception. From her elaborate staging, wave of synchronized dancers and surprise onstage guests, the Queen of Pop has all kind of stars, including Kim Kardashian and Ashton Kutcher, abuzz — and probably singing along, too. Taking to Twitter to dish about Madge’s over-the-top medley of songs, Kardashian kept her praise short and sweet: “Madonna is EVERYTHING! She looks soooo good!” she wrote. Kutcher was another fan of the pop titan’s high-energy performance as he confessed, “#fact Madonna is crushing it!” Not only did Ryan Seacrest find a liking to Madonna’s set, but also her surprise performers. “Loved the madonna performance, i think she nailed it. Great job by @LMFAO, @NickiMinaj, @CeeloGreen too,” he tweeted. With the season premiere of “The Voice” scheduled for right after Sunday’s big game, Christina Aguilera also showed support for her fellow co-star, tweeting, “@CeeLoGreen you killed it with Madonna at half time!” Love for Madonna’s show was also spread to another Kardashian sister, as Kourtney wrote, “Nobody is better than Madonna. She was perfection. Like a Prayer was my favorite part. Did everyone LOVE it as much as I did?” Despite his remarks on the singer’s backing track, Perez Hilton was extremely impressed by the superstar’s “Like a Player” finale, writing, “Wow. That ‘Like A Prayer’ finale was one of the best things #Madonna has EVER done! Soooo epic!!!” Paula Abdul was full of compliments, calling the pop performer’s halftime show “brilliant.” “I was dancing &singing along w/ @CeeLoGreen #Madonna Like A Prayer was AWESOME!” she wrote. “Well played #Superbowl WELL PLAYED-amazing #HalfTime show!” Age proved nothing but a number to the rest of the Twitter-verse when “Madonna is 53” became a trending topic shortly after she wrapped up her performance.

With all due respect to Eli Manning, might Madonna have put on the best performance of Super Bowl XLVI? The legendary singer mashed up a number of songs over the course of 12-plus minutes, possibly lip-synching a great deal, but also pulling out a number of fun numbers, including one that involved some incredibly limber, acrobat-like dancers over a set of makeshift bleachers.

MTV News has gathered up everything you need to know before Madonna takes the stage on Sunday during the Super Bowl. By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: PictureGroup/ Evan Agostini From the moment that it was announced back in December that Madonna would be taking the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show , everyone has been buzzing about what the Queen of Pop will do when she performs. In the two months since the announcement, she has been teasing fans about what they will see for those several minutes when she interrupts the matchup between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Madonna recently told Anderson Cooper on his talk show that “I have to put on the greatest show on earth, in the middle of the greatest show on earth. I have eight minutes to set it up and seven minutes to take it down and 12 minutes to put on the greatest show on earth. That’s a lot of pressure.” Wondering what might happen? Well, MTV News has compiled a little Super Bowl halftime cheat sheet. The Guests M.I.A. confirmed that she’ll be on the stage alongside Madonna, and Nicki Minaj tweeted on Thursday night about being in Indianapolis with Madonna rehearsing for the show. “Omfg. Madonna’s show is about to murdaaaa everything movinggg. Wow. Such a surreal moment.” There are also rumors that Cee Lo Green may appear during her set, as well as party rockers LMFAO . The whole show will also get an assist from Cirque du Soleil and Madonna’s longtime choreographer and creative director Jamie King. The Look If Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’ ” video is any indication, the gig will certainly have a cheerleader vibe to it. When MTV News caught up with her at her “W.E.” premiere she coyly teased that “pom poms” would play heavily into the theme of the show. In an interview with ABC News, she shared one idea she had for the performance: “I actually wanted to have 100 drummers come from the ceiling, a drumline from the ceiling.” The Songs There’ll be something old and something new. “I promise I will be singing three old songs and one new one,” Madonna said at a press conference. With M.I.A. and Nicki already on the ground, it seems that she’ll definitely be performing “Give Me” (the lead single off her March album, MDNA ). With rumors flying about what those other songs could be, the word is that she’ll also perform “Vogue,” “Music” and “Ray of Light.” The Stage In photos teased online, the halftime stage is full of LED lights in various shades of blue, green, pink, purple and red and includes various designs including the word “Vogue” (yep, like the song), kooky-looking eyes and a heart-shaped design. Who Will Be Watching? Besides like seven-bajillion people? Well, the Pussycat Dolls say that despite a heated matchup between the Giants and the Patriots, there’s only one team they’ll be rooting for. “I definitely say Madonna,” PCD creator Robin Antin told MTV News. “We’ll be watching for the [Go Daddy] commercial … and Madonna. It’s exciting. Well, hopefully the Pussycat Dolls will be on the next Super Bowl performing, you know?” Lady Gaga has already admitted that she’ll be tuning in on Sunday night. “Looking forward to seeing the Superbowl! The halftime show will be wonderful, I’m sure,” she tweeted on Tuesday. “An excuse to drink beer+watch boys in tights. #yes.” What songs do you want Madonna to perform during the halftime show?

From the King of Pop to the Boss, the Super Bowl stage has played host to some memorable performances; MTV News looks back on the best. By James Montgomery Madonna Photo: Martin Fraser/ Getty Images On Sunday night, Madonna will join an exclusive club that includes the likes of Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and, uh, Up With People when she performs at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Yes, you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger stage than the big game — last year’s Super Bowl was watched by some 111 million Americans — which is why the producers of the halftime festivities always recruit the biggest stars to perform (except for 1999, when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy inexplicably found their way into the proceedings). And Madonna most certainly fits that bill, which is why, while we’re not quite sure what she’ll bring to the Super Bowl stage — aside from her promise that it’ll be “the greatest show on earth” — we’re reasonably confident that it’ll be a performance folks will be talking about on Monday. And probably Tuesday too. Of course, if Madge wants to secure her spot among the all-time greatest Super Bowl halftime performances, well, she’ll definitely have to deliver the goods. Over the years, some of the most prodigious talents have gotten lost in all of the ephemera that comes with a Super Bowl slot (lasers, explosions, confetti, marching bands, will.i.am), but still others have risen to the challenge, delivering performances that have thrilled, chilled and even made us forget about the game itself. Here’s a look at our favorite Super Bowl halftime performances. Check out photos of past Super Bowl halftime shows! Diana Ross, Super Bowl XXX : The dynamic Diana stole the show in 1996 with a classy, brassy performance that featured nearly as many of her biggest hits as it did costume changes. Her voice was in prime form, powerful enough to outshine a full gospel choir, an army of tuxedo-clad dancers and, of course, end-zone pyrotechnics. But it was her exit — lifted from the stage via helicopter, while blowing kisses as the chorus of “Take Me Higher” blasted through the stadium — that truly put this one over the top. Prince, Super Bowl XLI : Not even a near-constant downpour could dampen this 2007 performance from the Purple One, who stalked across a custom “symbol” stage (while wearing a kerchief tied around his head), wailed on approximately 46 guitar solos, begged the audience to “take my picture,” out-watted the famed FAMU marching band, covered the Foo Fighters and even managed to freak out network censors by casting a lengthy (and quite phallic) shadow from behind a piece of fabric. So, you know, it was just your average Prince show. Oh, and then he did “Purple Rain” in the rain. Meta. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Super Bowl XLIII : They opened with Springsteen leaning on Clarence Clemons (a nod to the cover of 1975’s Born to Run ), begged the viewing audience to “put down the chicken fingers,” and then absolutely, positively destroyed the stage in Tampa with a set that featured classics like “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “Born to Run” and “Glory Days.” And then Springsteen finished things off by shouting, “I’m going to Disneyland!”As several fans have come to say, this wasn’t a halftime performance, it was a football game played around a Springsteen concert. As an added bonus, this is also the performance that gave us the now-immortal meme. Michael Jackson, Super Bowl XXVII : It started with the late, great King of Pop magically leaping from the Rose Bowl scoreboards to his stage on the 50-yard line, featured a staggering 3,000 dancers, some killer choreography (the Moonwalk!) and a career-spanning medley of Jackson’s hits (everything from “Billie Jean” to “Black or White”). And as if MJ’s performance wasn’t testament to his superstardom, how about the 90-second ovation he received before ever singing a word? It was almost enough to make one young writer forget the Bills were on their way to losing a third-straight Super Bowl. Almost. U2, Super Bowl XXXVI : If there is another band on the planet more capable of seizing the moment than U2, well, we’d like to meet them. In this case, that meant performing at the first Super Bowl since the 9/11 attacks, before an audience of millions still reeling and recovering. And, in typical form, Bono and company didn’t shrink from the spotlight. Though there were more than a few highlights, their solemn, spiritual performance of “Where the Streets Have No Name” — which saw the names of all the victims of 9/11 projected behind them — was not only the most memorable of the night, it’s without a doubt the most memorable (and chill-inducing) in Super Bowl history. And then, to top it all off, Bono pulled back his jacket to reveal an American flag. Game over. What songs do you want Madonna to perform during the halftime show?

Video directors Megaforce open up about working with Madge, Nicki and M.I.A. — and why the kiss didn’t make the cut. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Rob Markman M.I.A., Madonna and Nicki Minaj in “Give Me All Your Luvin’ ” Photo: Interscope After fans heard that Madonna had enlisted Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. for her single and video for “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” it really felt like anything could happen with those three equally eccentric and visual artists all joining forces. What they ended up creating was an eye-catching clip full of masked cheerleaders, hot football players and lacy outfits (designed by Norma Kamali) that every fan of Madge’s “Like a Virgin” era will go crazy over. The video feels distinctly Madonna — she is the star, after all — but Nicki’s and M.I.A.’s presences are felt between the cheerleader chant and their equally funky verses. “[It was] quite intense but we had a lot of fun. … It’s like shooting three presidents or something like that,” Clement Gallet, from video-directing team the Megaforce , told MTV News about the shoot. “I think everybody’s a bit stressed. We had time to speak to discuss the idea, to do the fittings. So you have time to meet the people first. I think we maybe thought it would be harder to have these three famous women on set, and I think everything went quite well.” While the trio’s collaboration made headlines, so did a kiss Nicki tweeted about that she shared with Madonna on the New York set back in December. “That’s funny, ’cause that’s something we didn’t really see,” he added. “Basically, it was Nicki Minaj’s birthday on the shoot, but we were — as always, as the directors — stressed about the next scene and whatever happens, that when the birthday cake arrived, we were already prepping the next scene and we didn’t see what happened. And we learned about it on Twitter. So basically, we cannot tell you about the scene,” he joked. Do you wish Nicki and Madonna’s kiss had made it into the video? Let us know in the comments!

How appropriate. After a sneak peek on American Idol last night, Super Bowl halftime act Madonna’s music video for “Give Me All Your Luvin'” has debuted, and it’s football-themed! The 53-year-old superstar is lifted up by football players, who even take bullets for the Material Girl, while M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj serve as her cheerleaders. The trio even pays homage to Marilyn Monroe, with curly blonde bobs, diamonds and white lacey dresses. Is the end result any good, though? You tell us. Madonna is expected to perform “Give Me All Your Luvin'” as part of her Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday in Indianapolis. Watch the video below! Madonna – Give Me All Your Luvin’ (Feat. M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj) What do you think of Madonna’s new video?
From ‘Dick Tracy’ to ‘Like a Virgin,’ MTV News spots the best winks to Queen of Pop’s many reinventions in brand-new video. By John Mitchell Madonna in her “Give Me All Your Luvin’ ” music video Photo: Interscope Madonna dropped her “Give Me All Your Luvin’ ” video on Friday morning (February 3), and the eye-popping clip featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. has fans even more excited for the Queen of Pop’s halftime performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl. In the video, Madonna hits the streets flanked by Minaj, M.I.A. and a very protective football team for a tongue-in-cheek walk down memory lane. In scene after scene, the pop icon references her musical past. We combed through the cheeky clip for some of the best winks at Her Madgesty’s numerous reinventions. Here are our top five: 1. Madonna Passes the Pom-Poms to Nicki, M.I.A. Some of the most famous images of pre-fame Madonna are of the Michigan native in her high school cheerleading uniform, so it seems fitting that in “Your Luvin’, ” there’s what seems to be a symbolic passing of the pom-poms to Minaj and M.I.A. The video opens with Minaj and M.I.A. flying high at the top of a cheerleading formation on a suburban street, just the way Madonna Louise Ciccone might have as a cheerleader at Rochester Adams High School. 2. Getting a Lift — “Material Girl”-Style Not only does the uniformed football team guarding Madonna offer up umbrellas to shield her from raining sparks and throw down their letterman jackets to give her a makeshift red carpet to walk on, but the boys give the singer a lift in a move that feels straight out of her “Material Girl” video — but with a twist. As they help her to keep steady, viewers soon realize she’s walking down the side of a building! 3. Dodging a “Dick Tracy” Gangster As the pop queen parades down an alleyway, an old-school car pulls up alongside her, and then someone rolls down a window and opens fire. The mysterious villain employs a weapon that looks just like the vintage Colt M1921 Thompson submachine guns used by the baddies in Madonna’s hit flick “Dick Tracy.” Luckily, the ever-vigilant team guarding her leaps in front of the fire. 4. Kissing Cheerleaders … That Seems Familiar Madonna’s never been shy about admitting she’s kissed (many) girls — and liked it. But we think this little lingering look at two masked cheerleaders smooching is probably a direct reference to Madonna’s infamous lip lock with Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. (For the record, that legendary moment made our list of Madonna’s top five best MTV performances ever!) 5. Nicki and Madonna Have Blond Ambition Madonna climbs over a pile of football players and straight into a dream sequence that’s a smorgasbord of references to Madonna’s past. When she emerges from the huddle, gone are her long, flowing locks and black leather ensemble, and in their place is a short white lace dress and curly platinum-blond wig that recalls her Blond Ambition/”Vogue” era. The nod to her “Like a Virgin” years is underscored the second the camera cuts to Minaj, who sports a wedding dress that (minus a few ruffles) looks like it came straight from Madonna’s 1984 VMA performance. And while Minaj isn’t wearing Madonna’s famed “boy toy” belt, she does make a reference to it, rapping, “You can be my boy toy.” Are you luvin’ Madonna’s new video?

According to TMZ reports : Joe Francis — the mastermind behind “Girls Gone Wild” — is sending Madonna a cease and desist letter, threatening that he’ll take legal action if she sings the song from her new album — titled “Girls Gone Wild” — at the Super Bowl. TMZ has obtained the letter that Francis has sent to Madonna and her “co-conspirators.” Francis’ lawyer threatens to sue all of them for attempting to get a “free ride on the valuable consumer goodwill and brand recognition” of Joe’s famous trademark. Francis’ lawyer makes it clear: “Your misappropriation of my clients’ trademark will not be tolerated.” But Francis is willing to cut a deal with Madonna, provided she agrees to the following terms: – Negotiate an immediate licensing agreement for the use of Joe’s trademark – Account for the number of times Madonna has already used the trademark – NOT PERFORM THE SONG AT THE SUPER BOWL Joe thinks NBC and the NFL are conspiring with Madonna, so the letter went to them as well. Joe’s lawyer is demanding a response by 5 PM PT today … or else.
Madonna’s showing off her body and still pretending she’s Marilyn Monoroe cuz she’s pretty much old enough to be Marilyn Monroe…you know she’s got to that stage of her senior citizenship where it doesn’t matter if she’s 60 or 140….she’s not hot…or erotic…and even in little clothes we know her body is drooping, practically dripping off her….vagina lips flapping in the wind….but here’s her pre-Superbowl….Football inspired…video with Nicki Minaj’s big tits to give her appeal to the youth and M.I.A to keep it hip….making them her cheerleaders to make her seem above them….because the timing is right, she’s in the media…she’s an empire..this is money making..and I’m posting cuz I appreciate all whores trying to be sexy …especially when they are historically known for being sluts…even scandalous sex icons in the 80s….cuz it shows they have trouble letting go…they’re a little pathetic…but grannies in panties are hysterical…..enjoy…
