The Material Girl will be The Halftime Show.

In recent years, the Super Bowl halftime show has been a cavalcade of has-beens and classic rock acts.  Aside from the semi-relevant Black Eyed Peas and Prince on two bad hips, there hasn’t been an interesting Super Bowl halftime act since Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson bared her breast to the world in the waning moments of a song.  Well, the halftime show for Super Bowl XLVI just got interesting, thanks to the Material Girl.  That’s right, Madonna is going to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, and you know it’s going to get weird.

How weird will it get?  Madonna (who is currently promoting her film W.E.) will be teaming up with Cirque Du Soleil for her halftime performance.  Aside from lots of spangly unitards and ribbons, what does that mean?  It means we’re going to get dangerous levels of spectacle, even before you factor in cheerleaders.  Once upon a time, the Super Bowl halftime show was something you could miss in favor of the Puppy Bowl, but now?  Madonna might be able to make it interesting again.

Super Bowl XLVI will be taking place on February 5 in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the RCA Dome.  Here’s hoping Madge doesn’t make any singing missteps like Christina Aguilera did last year.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
