On February 5, Indianapolis will host Super Bowl XLVI — the 46th iteration of America's biggest game. Millions of fans will gather 'round the television set with seven-layer dip and cold drinks to watch an epic match-up of teams, the year’s funniest and most expensive commercials and most importantly — as far as we're concerned — Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show. The newly minted Interscope singer has been on her grind lately, promoting her Golden Globe-winning directorial debut W.E., unleashing a super sexy fragrance line and gearing up for the release of her 12th studio album MDNA and a world tour.
With so much going on, can Madonna still quarterback a show as memorable as these 10 amazing Super Bowl halftime performances? More »

Thu Oct 27 2011 by Becky Bain
Steven Tyler called in to The Today Show from Buenos Aires, Argentina to discuss his recent fall, which caused him to lose two teeth and receive several stitches above his eye. We're relieved that the American Idol judge is in good spirits and seems to be taking his accident with some good humor — but as Matt Lauer says of Steven's face, "It looks like you were the wrong guy in a fight." Listen to the Aerosmith frontman talk about his accident in his interview below. More »

Till The World Ends: 10 Pop Songs To Prepare You For Judgment Day
Fri May 20 2011 by Becky Bain
According to several Christian groups who like to make signs and billboards, this Saturday May 21, 2011 signals the end of the world. If they turn out to be right about Judgment Day, we're going to be pretty bummed — we'll only have gotten halfway through Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga's episode of Saturday Night Live before Armageddon finishes its destruction of planet Earth — but at least we'll have some pretty sweet tunes to rock out to while we're saying our final goodbyes. Behold Idolator's A-pop-alypse Playlist below, and go out with a pop as well as a bang.

MTV’s VMA Video Of The Year: A Look Back At The 1990s
Thu Sep 9 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
With MTV's VMAs just three days away, we've almost cracked the code on our predictions for who will take home the title of 2010's Video Of The Year. As our VMA retrospective moves on to the 1990s, we’ve noticed that while some vids received the recognition they deserved, others were over looked thanks in large part to Will Smith. Jump below for another surprising look at the winners and losers from '90-'99—do you remember who beat out Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in 1992?

Steven Tyler The Next ‘American Idol’ Judge? Crazy!
Wed Aug 18 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
It's "Amazing". After weeks of American Idol judge speculation, drop outs and musical chairs, sources say that Fox has invited rock's Steven Tyler to "Walk This Way" to the judges' table for Season 10 Idol. Fox, however, isn't commenting—so let's not get our hopes up. This could very well end up being the "Same Old Song And Dance" we went through with J-Lo. But we just can't contain our "Sweet Emotions" at the possibility of hearing the Aerosmith frontman tell a talentless hopeful at Idol auditions to "Dream On". Also, "Love In An Elevator." (We couldn't think of a way to work that one in but wanted to include it.) [THR]

Thu Apr 22 2010 by Becky Bain
Yet another volume of music from your favorite guilty pleasure musical TV show will soon be released—no, not Cop Rock. Glee: The Music, Volume 3 - Showstoppers will drop in the next few weeks, and if you're counting, this makes four albums in one season of television. By the time this show ends (oh my god, let's not even think about the possibility of a Glee-less world), we're going to need an entire iPod just to store our Glee music. The Vol. 3 track listing (listed below) should make pretty much every music fan as happy as the cast of Glee usually looks—not to mention the news that there may be a sequel to the Madonna episode!

Fri Mar 26 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Diddy majorly pissed off some of his vodka-schilling colleagues by stating that if you don't drink his brand of Cîroc Vodka, you may as well be drinking "pee pee." He then went on to say that all girls have cooties and proceeded to make inappropriate noises with his armpit. [Hip-Hop Wired]
:: Are you the kind of concert goer who likes to save your tickets as a keepsake? Well, too bad! Live Nation is switching over to wristbands. Now at least you won't have to worry about losing your ticket on the way from your seat to the concessions line. [Spinner]
:: Two guys perform 22 theme songs in seven minutes. Even more impressive—both guys are really the same guy playing with himself. Mind blown! [Pop Eater]
:: Check out Shontelle's newest video for "Impossible." [Just Jared]
:: Patrick Stump went solo really just because he missed playing the drums. Hey, he can always teach Rihanna a thing or two if Travis Barker gets busy. [MTV]
After the jump: we're tickled "Pink" to wish Steven Tyler a happy birthday. More »
