Madonna releases new single and perfroms at Super Bowl

Madonna has recently released a new single called “Give Me All Your Luvin.” She also perfomed at Super Bowl last weekend at the half time show.

The new single features Nicki Minaj rapping. It is a catchy pop tune, but does not sound as good as her hits of the 80′s.

The Super Bowl half time show was about 12 minutes. Madonna entered carried by hundreds of gladiators. Nicki Minaj and Mia joined her on the song. There was conterversary about Mia showing her middle finger during the son and she may be in trouble for that nwith FCC.

Here is what Madonna had to say about the incident said on the Ryan Seacrest show couple of days ago “I was really surprised,” she said. “I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it. I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager … irrelevant thing to do … there was such a feeling of love and unity there what was the point? It was just out of place.”

LMFAO and Cee Lo Green also joined Madonna on teh half time show.

Jim Carey’s Daughter on American Idol

Last week American Idol Season 11 started. So far 3 episodes were aired. On episode 3 a surprise contestant appeared…Jim Carey’s 25-year-old daughter, Jane Carey!

Randy who immediately recognized her said: “Does your dad know you are here?” and Jane answered yes. Jennifer Lopez asked in a surprise “Who is her dad?”

Once J-Lo found out that Jane is Jim Carey’s daughter she freaked out and said “Oh My God! I know your dad from Fly Girls, we used to work together…I remember you …do you remember me? you were 2.”

Jane performed “Something to Talk About,” and I must say that she sang pretty well. All judges put her through. See a video of the performance below.

Today on Thanksgiving, in front of millions of audiences watching on TV and thousands at the stadium where Detroit Lions/Green Bay Packers played, Lauren Alaina, last year’s American Idol runner up, sang the national anthem but messed up the lyrics. She actually went quiet for about 5 seconds and then picked up the remaining of the song.

The audiences took notice and she quickly became the hottest trending on Twitter.

Last year Christina Aguilera at Super Bowl messed up the lyrics too, but unlike Alaina she actually sang the wrong lyrics.

Kellie Pickler, another ex Idol, Twitted to Lauren “HEY DOLL! YOU HANDLED YOURSELF LIKE A PRO! SEND THE BULLIES MY WAY & I’LL TELL EM’ WHERE TO GO.”

Lauren Tweeted back “thank you so much, I’m not a robot. I have No excuses. I messed up. You know what can ya do. At Least didn’t fall down again.”

Madonna‘s new song “Give Me All Your Love” which features Niki Minaj was leaked over the internet couple of days ago. Apparently Madonna is very upset over this incident. She said: “My true fans wouldn’t do this.” The song will officially be released in the beginning of next year.

Guy Oseary, Madonna’s manager, tweeted. “Im very happy with the positive reaction to the demo, but we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!”

“We are asking that the fans please help us police any more leaks.. we have a lot in store for you.. but please respect the process,” he added.

Although the song was leaked, it will not be easy for most people to find it on the internet. We checked youtube and it seems couple of people had uploaded but they got removed pretty quickly. The song most likely will be available via peer-to-peer music/mp3 download software.
