Madonna will play the Superbowl

NBC and the NFL announced last night that Madonna will perform during the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show, and if you think that part sounds like a horrible fit for an NFL game, wait until you read this one…

Madonna said she’s partnered with a creative team from Cirque du Soleil, choreographer Jamie King and multimedia artists from Moment Factory, “to create a signature performance for the Super Bowl’s Halftime Show, which will be broadcast worldwide.”

Football fans are always saying, why don’t NFL games have old ladies singing awful music and French Canadian jugglers dressed as a cheetah, so this halftime show makes a lot of sense.
