Ugggghhhhh. After dazzling us last year with a mind-meltingly bad performance by the Black Eyed Peas, “the NFL has reportedly locked down Madonna to perform at the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show in February,” according to SB Nation (via Billboard). Which is awesome for fans of hyper-toned and muscular zombies who lip-synch, dance, and speak in false British accents as part of a wildly ego maniacal bid to give herself a false sense of aristocracy.

It goes to show you—drop Madonna’s greatest hits into a blender, sprinkle a little Bowie on it and then cover it with AutoTune, and voila–you’re set. At least, according to MTV, who reports that pop oddball Lady Gaga has been named as one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential People. But, before you exclaim that this validates Gaga’s artistry and brilliance and whatever else the kids in the comments wall will claim, know that while the list includes such luminaries as President Barack Obama, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and Apple’s Steve Jobs, it also features such immortal icons as Taylor Swift and Robert Pattinson. As for which camp Gaga will fall in, only time (or record sales, either way) will tell.

Last night was a special night for Gleeks. Not only did they get two original Broadway cast members of Spring Awakening (Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff) singing together alongside Wicked‘s legendary Idina Menzel, but they also got a preview of the upcoming “Power of Madonna” episode. To get fans even more pumped up, Fox showed their version of “Vogue” which stars none other than the mean Sue Sylvester played by Jane Lynch.

No Coldplay for you, Glee fans. Word is the band has rejected an offer to have their music used on the singing and dancing TV show. For the record, awesome rocker Bryan Adams also put the kibosh on Glee covering his tunes.

In an effort to help the poor children of Brazil, pop star Madonna spent some time this week with Sao Paulo state Gov. Jose Serra – a likely candidate for the 2010 campaign to succeed Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
