Will Britney Spears Be Featured On Madonna’s ‘MDNA’?

Thu Feb 9 2012 by Idolator Staff
Is Madonna collaborating once again with her "Me Against The Music" pal (and onstage smooch partner) Britney Spears? Possibly! A leaked album sleeve was posted on Brit fan site Breathe Heavy, with the "Criminal" singer featured on opening track, "Girls Gone Wild". That's the same tune included in that recent MDNA megamix, as well as the one Joe Francis' is filing a lawsuit over. Chances are both parties will be able to benefit from the "Girls Gone Wild" phrase if Brit-Brit really does appear on the song. MTV reports that Madge's reps haven't confirmed or denied a new collaboration with Spears, so we'd say there's at least a 50% chance that this is actually happening.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Madonna’s “Crazy For You”

Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
Current chart ruler Kelly Clarkson was apparently in the mood for a little old-school Madonna recently. (Not surprising, given that the two performed at the Super Bowl on Sunday.) During a tour stop in Bossier City, Louisiana, the Stronger singer took a fan request and belted out a cover of Madge's ballad "Crazy For You". Kelly said of the audience pick, "We've been doing this on tour, because I got here from fans voting for me ten years ago. So it's still cool that you all are involved in my show." More »

Kelly Clarkson Topples Adele On Hot 100, Madonna Debuts In The Top 20

Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele may still be the top diva on Billboard's Top 200 album chart, but over on the Hot 100 she's been bumped off by Kelly Clarkson. The two Grammy nominees trade places as Adele's third 21 single "Set Fire To The Rain", which previously spent two weeks at #1, now cedes the peak position to Super Bowl singer Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)". This marks the American Idol winner's third chart-topper, following 2002's "A Moment Like This" and 2009's "My Life Would Suck Without You". More »


Ricky Martin And Naya Rivera Cover Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita” On ‘Glee’

Wed Feb 8 2012 by Becky Bain
Last night, Ricky Martin tangoed his way onto the top of our list of favorite Glee guest stars ever, playing Spanish language teacher (and former "tooth model") Mr. Martinez. In addition to performing "Sexy And I Know It", the Puerto Rican superstar and the show's resident Latina Naya Rivera performed a duet of Madonna's 1987 single "La Isla Bonita". Ricky and Naya are en fuego during their number, but the real draw is to watch Mr. Schuester squirm in his seat as he faces the fact that his skills as both a Spanish teacher and a glee club coach have been trumped. Watch below. More »

Adele Still On Top Of Album Chart, Lana Del Rey Debuts At #2

Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
With Adele's 21 in the peak position on Billboard's Top 200 for a 19th non-consecutive week, the album is just seven days shy of tying the 20-week run at #1 by the soundtrack to 1992 film The Bodyguard — i.e. the most recent album to have a lengthier run atop the chart. 21 sold another 122,000 copies last week, and the Grammy Album Of The Year nominee will likely see a boost in sales after this Sunday's ceremony.

Did You Hear?

:: Nick Carter gave a beautiful tribute to his sister during one of his tour stops in New York City, although he was noticeably absent from her funeral that took place over the weekend. Nick released a statement saying, "I wanted to be at my sister's funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic." [E! Online]

:: Adele will be making her comeback performance at the Grammys this Sunday and one person in particular is suggesting that the British pop star make the best of it. Noel Gallagher firmly believes her success in the music industry will not last much longer. "I feel sorry for girls in the music industry," he said. "They do have a very short shelf life." At least that's nicer than what Karl Lagerfeld said about her. [Spinner]

:: Turns out Madonna's much younger boy toy Brahim Zaibat was one of her backup dancers during her Super Bowl Halftime Show. [Pink Is The New Blog]

:: Are Rihanna and Chris Brown trying their hardest to find love in a hopeless place? [Rap-Up]

:: Lady Gaga has created yet another way to interact with her loyal followers. When fully operational, littlemonsters.com will be a "new community" for monsters to socialize on or plan what topic they'll trend on Twitter. [ONTD]

Madonna Wows At Super Bowl Halftime Show (PHOTOS)

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman

Even if you’re a Giants fan (like Nicki Minaj), you’d have to agree that the true winner of last night’s Super Bowl was Madonna’s halftime show. The Queen not only kept to her promise of pom poms, she Vogued like a futuristic Cleopatra (with choreography from So You Think You Can Dance’s Tabitha and Napoleon D’Uomo), shuffled in ultra high heels alongside LMFAO, gave us all her luvin’, then sent us on our way with a prayer for World Peace with help from Cee Lo Green and a choir, in a scene like something out of Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Click through to relive the glorious 12-minute performance from last night (yes, even M.I.A. flipping the bird for no apparent reason). Then let us know what your favorite moment was in the comments below, or on Facebook and Twitter. More »


Madonna At The Super Bowl: Review Revue

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Madonna's Super Bowl halftime performance was a glowing spectacle that offered a sampling of the pop queen's lengthy back catalog of hits and boasted a slew of guests like Nicki Minaj, Cee Lo Green and LMFAO. Of course, M.I.A. was there, too, and she made sure all of America knew the size and shape of her middle finger during "Give Me All Your Luvin'". Naturally, the Internet at large chimed in with several opinions of the show. Catch our roundup of the reviews below! More »

Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” Remixed By LMFAO: Listen

Mon Feb 6 2012 by Robbie Daw
Apparently the Super Bowl wasn't the only time we'll be seeing (and hearing) Madonna pair up with cheeseball dance-pop duo LMFAO. The Material Girl's upcoming album MDNA will contain a remix of "Give Me All Your Luvin'" featuring the "Sexy And I Know It" hit-makers as a bonus track. Start shufflin' down below to give the reworked track — which still features Nicki Minaj's rap, though the one by bird-flipper M.I.A. is axed — a spin! More »
