Madonna to perform at Super Bowl XLVI
LOS ANGELES — It's official:
Madonna will perform during the
Super Bowl XLIV halftime show
on Feb. 5.
The news was confirmed during NBC's "Sunday Night Football" game between the Detroit Lions and new Orleans Saints.
Rumors had been swirling for weeks that the Material Girl would hit the stage during football's most epic game of the year. And the timing couldn't be more perfect — the 53-year-old singer's romantic drama "W.E." just happens to be rolling out in theaters two days before the game. And she is currently recording an album due for release next year.
At this past February's Super Bowl, the Black Eyed Peas performed, while the Who headlined the 2010 halftime show.
The 2012 big game, which will air on NBC, is set to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Madonna will team up with Cirque Du Soleil and Jamie King for the performance.

People like say that MTV isn't MTV anymore But Comparato, a University of Kansas grad with 25
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — When Joe Comparato needed more space for TheCoolTV, the fast-growing, all-music-video network he started in his Lawrence recording studio, a building off 23rd Street became available.
In classic start-up fashion, he and his band of young hipsters skipped the remodeling step and just moved in. As a goof, they decided to leave the old sign in front that read "Diamond Cabinetry."
"People would come in, still thinking we were a cabinet shop," Comparato says. "This guy brought in this beautiful piece of maple and said, 'I was hoping you could mill this. How long will it take?'
Chief engineer Charlie Lamb happened to be standing there when the woodworker walked in. He explained that this was now the home of TheCoolTV and that, from a nerve center in the middle of the country, TheCoolTV was piping 24-hour music videos to dozens of cities. It was just like the MTV we grew up with, only better, more locally focused and featuring live performances that artists allowed TheCoolTV to film at top concert venues.
Comparato says, "And at the end this guy said, 'That's great. So ... if I leave this with you, how long will it take to mill?"
Best of all, Lamb said, you wouldn't need cable to watch TheCoolTV; it was a free TV station that broadcasters were starting to carry as a secondary digital station. It would soon be in the Kansas City-Lawrence market. Then, all you could need was a pair of rabbit ears and a digital TV set or converter box and you could watch TheCoolTV.
years in the video and music production business, argues that the original idea behind MTV wasn't sustainable.
"MTV was, cookie cutter," he says. "They decided, 'We're going to start in New York and program this music channel, and everyone's going to like it because we say they will.' You can't do music that way."
In the back of the cabinet shop is what remains of the Cool Music Network, which is being folded into TheCoolTV: a roomful of CDs, DVDs and flash-drive wrist-bands containing digital files of live performances by the bands.
TheCoolTV takes a different approach. It is a chain of 71 local TV stations, and growing, that draw on a common core of content — basically, it's music radio with pictures. A lot of the content, however, isn't music video provided by the labels. It's concert video produced by TheCoolTV, or rather Cool Music Network. That's yet another of Comparato's businesses, out of which the TV idea sprang.
The catalyst was the impending 2009 government-mandated switchover from analog to digital TV. Most viewers know that DTV made high-definition programs possible, but it also meant broadcasters could put multiple stations on the same signal and demand that local cable companies carry not just the primary station but the secondary ones as well.
"You can leave the show with a copy of what you saw," Comparato says. "Our motto is connecting bands with fans."
A few years ago, Compatato and his three business partners realized that there would soon be a demand for new digital TV stations and that this would be a natural use for the concert videos. Bands and labels quickly signed on, hoping it would be another way to connect with fans.
