Was Madonna’s SB 46 Halftime Performance the Greatest Ever?
That’s what everyone is saying this morning after the BY Giants upended the hapless New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. The 53-year-old pop icon rode into the arena on a chariot worthy of the gods. She launched into a performance of her hit single “Vogue” before performing her current single “Give Me All Your Lovin’” with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
Madonna didn’t miss a step as the athletic superstar danced her heart out and threw in a couple of cartwheels onstage. But it was M.I.A.’s flip of a finger that caused most of the buzz from last night’s performance. Some are comparing M.I.A’s middle finger flip to Janet Jackson’s intentional disrobing in 2004′s Super Bowl.
That may be a bit of a stretch when you consider that M.I.A. flipped the bird so quickly that most of America missed it. Still, M.I.A.’s obscene gesture may have stolen the show from Madge. Watch the video after the break.
Did Gisele Bundchen Cause Tom Brady to Lose the Super Bowl?
That’s what many are saying this morning after the NY Giants edged out the odds on favorites New England Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17 on Sunday. It was a hard fought battle between two Epic teams that came down to the wire in the final seconds with a Hail Mary heaved into the end zone by NE quarterback Tom Brady, who suffered one of the most humiliating defeats of his career.
But the humiliation began off the field for Brady last week when Tom’s egotistical supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen allegedly sent out a “Prayer chain” email to her friends and family begging them to pray for Brady to win the Super Bowl.
How embarrassing for Brady — and for Gisele, who actually believed that God had nothing better to do than fix the outcome of a football game.
Didn’t she learn anything from Tim Tebow’s blow out loss to these same New England Patriots just two weeks ago?
Gisele Bundchen is clearly a typical Narcissist who believes she is more worthy in the eyes of the Lord than any other NFL wife. If Brady had managed to eke out a win over the Giants, Gisele surely would have accepted some of the credit for the win.
Even after her husband’s humiliating loss, Gisele continued to embarrass him — and the Patriots wide receivers.
Yandy Explains Why There is No Love and Hip Hop Reunion
In Monday’s special episode of VH1′s reality series ‘Love and Hip Hop‘ titled “Reality Check,” Yandy Smith, aka Don King, confirms our suspicions that she was paid to “play a role” and stir up drama on the show.
Yandy sits down with the show’s messy producer Mona Scott Young to explain the conflict between herself and Jim Jones’ fiery fiancee, Chrissy Lampkin.
Apparently it was Chrissy’s idea to bring Yandy on the show originally. But tempers flared behind the scenes when Chrissy found out that Scott expanded Yandy’s “role” — giving Yandy more screen time than her.
“You were funny, you were charismatic, we wanted to see more of Yandy,” says Scott justifying why she expanded Yandy’s role.
Scott and Yandy illustrate the sneaky, shady back room dealings that go on between certain reality show cast members who kiss the producer’s ass to get more valuable screen time.
As a result, there will be no Love & Hip Hop Reunion show because Chrissy and Yandy hate each other too much to be in the same room together.
The following video clip includes a rant by Chrissy toward Yandy who must have forgotten whose coattail she rode in on.
“B*tch, you on MY show!” says an angry Chrissy.

New Birth Crowns Bishop Eddie Long as King
Some of you may recall that disgraced preacher Eddie Long stepped down from his position as spiritual leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church late last year. His stated goal was to focus on his family — in particular, his long-suffering wife who is divorcing him.
Well, Bishop Long is back in the pulpit. And he returned in typical dramatic fashion.
New Birth brought in a controversial “Rabbi” to crown Long as King in an elaborate Jewish ceremony using 300-year-old sacred scrolls that were found discarded outside a concentration camp in Germany in the 1940s.
I wonder how the Jews feel about this?
Update I, 4:45 pm ET: according to this blog, the “Rabbi” isn’t even Jewish and the 300-year-old “Jewish scrolls” are fake:
Would you drink donkey semen and urine to be on TV?
An upcoming episode of NBC’s ‘Fear Factor‘ has the network’s top brass very nervous. The hit TV show calls for contestants to swallow a glass full of donkey semen, followed quickly by a glass of donkey urine to wash it all down.
Sources involved in the production tell us the stomach-churning stunt was shot last summer — but NBC honchos were having a tough time swallowing this one as the air date approached.
Our sources say NBC execs had multiple pow-wows in the months after the stunt was shot … but eventually gave FF producers the thumbs up.
Calls to NBC were not immediately returned.
The episode of Fear Factor, which tests the limits of what humans will do for fame and fortune, airs this Monday.
FAKE TWITTER BEEF: Jennifer Williams vs Evelyn Lozada
Normally I wouldn’t waste my time with this, but some of you ladies still don’t understand that this fake beef between Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams is manufactured to drive up ratings for the upcoming season of ‘Basketball Wives.’
Even professional sports groupie Jill realizes something in the milk ain’t clean:
Basketball Wives returns to VH1 on February 20th. I’m going to start with that because I really hope that’s what is behind the public back and forth between Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams. The grown-up in me hopes that’s all this really is. Williams recently gave an interview where she explained what she feels Evelyn’s beef is with her. Jennifer claims Evelyn is jealous of her friendship with Nene Leakes of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame and that Evelyn is always in competition.
Heidi Klum Announces ‘Separation’ from Seal – 2 Days Before His Album Drops
Seal with Heidi Klum and two of their children were seen together in a compilation photo dated Jan. 7, 2012.
On Saturday, gossip website TMZ broke the story that supermodel Heidi Klum would file for divorce from singer Seal. 24 hours later, the couple released a statement to the Associated Press announcing their intention to separate.
The announcement was conveniently timed to coincide with the U.S. release of Seal’s album of 70s Soul classics remakes, Soul 2, which drops tomorrow (Jan. 24).
This “separation” has all the earmarks of a well-orchestrated publicity stunt. Complete with a convenient leak to a popular gossip website. Sources “directly connected” with Heidi tell TMZ that the couple are separating due to Seal’s temper — not because of a third party. Of course narcissists wouldn’t dare cheat on each other, right?
Furthermore, the source tells TMZ that Heidi has become “a mega-entrepreneur and extremely rich”, which doesn’t sit well with Seal. Oh, and did I mention that they still live together under the same roof?
