Love her or hate her, there's no doubt that only Madonna can bring a certain level of pop flair to a performance. 
 
 Madonna's Roman-themed Super Bowl halftime show included a medley of her hits and assistance from her younger counterparts on the pop music scene. 
 
 The singer debuted her new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin,'" during a set that also included classic hits "Vogue," "Music," "Express Yourself" and "Like a Prayer." 
 
 During "Music," Madonna appeared to slip on the stage, but quickly recovered (see video above). 
 
 Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., LMFAO, and Cee Lo Green (and his marching band) joined Madonna for the pop icon's first Super Bowl appearance. M.I.A. flashed the camera her middle finger during "Give Me All Your Luvin,'" a move censors didn't seem to catch. 
 
 In the end, Madonna disappeared in a puff of smoke as the words "World Peace" were projected onto the field.

 Before the game, Madge promised a show that would contain "no nipples," a reference to the infamous wardrobe malfunction that took place when Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake performed at 2004's big game. 
 
 Madonna told Anderson Cooper she was extremely nervous about her performance. Last year's Super Bowl drew 111 million viewers, and early estimates expected this year's game would surpass that mark. 
 
 The video for "Give Me All Your Luvin'" was released last week after a teaser clip debuted on "American Idol." 
 
 Earlier in the night, Kelly Clarkson performed the national anthem to great acclaim.

 Madonna continued to torpedo her “Rebel Heart” tour by exposing a young female fan in Janet Jackson-Justin Timberlake fashion in Brisbane, Australia, on Thursday night. 
 
 “She's the kind of girl you just want to slap on the a--," the 57-year-old said after pulling the 17-year-old on stage, according to People magazine.

 The beleaguered pop icon then tugged on the fan’s strapless corset top, revealing the woman’s breast to the crowd. 
 
 “Oh, s---. Oh sorry, sexual harassment,” she reportedly said in a simple mea culpa. 
 
 “You can do the same to me if you like—you want to make my hole big again?” the mother-of-four reportedly said. 
 
 But the teenage fan, Josephine Georgiou, didn’t want to retaliate.

 In fact, her upper lady regions being exposed to a crowd of thousands doesn’t seem to bother her much. 
 
 “Only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not — why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body?” the teen told the Courier Mail. 
 
 “I didn’t realize my boob was such a big deal —it was nothing to me.” 
 
 The indecent antics came just one day after Madonna enraged fans by kicking off her first concert in the city almost three hours late. She was only twenty minutes late for Thursday night’s show.

 The “B----, I’m Madonna” singer, who has displayed increasingly erratic behavior amid her custody battle for son Rocco, was also seen swigging a clear liquid from a shot glass but later claimed it was water. 
 
 The wardrobe malfunction comes a week after the hit-maker bizarrely expressed herself during a meltdown on stage, in which she mumbled nonsense and appeared to drink tequila. She later defended the rambling performance as “acting.” 
 
 Before that, she artistically tried to display her maternal anguish by dressing up as clown, dedicating a performance to her son and breaking down in tears. 
 
 The pop diva is set to finish her seven-month tour this weekend in Sydney.

 The Material Girl delivered an intentionally titillating performance in Turkey, flashing her breast during a concert. 
 
 It smacked of a pathetic attention grab by an artist with little current relevance — and who just four months ago blasted such antics. 
 
 Before her Super Bowl XLVI gig in February, Madonna guaranteed there would be no “wardrobe malfunction” during her performance, akin to Janet Jackson’s slip during halftime of the 2004 Super Bowl. 
 
 Madge ripped those kind of on-stage antics as cheap attention grabs. 
 
 “You don’t have to show your nipples to be interesting, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re cutting-edge if you do,” Madonna lectured back then. 
 
 Now fast-forward to Istanbul on Thursday night, as Madonna performed her 1995 hit “Human Nature” in the cradle of western civilization. 
 
 She did a striptease during the number, getting down to a black lace bra. 
 
 The dance culminated with Madonna pulling down one cup of her bra, and exposing her right breast for a little more than a second. 
 
 Madonna, 53, flashed a dramatic been-there, done-that snarl on her face immediately following the flash. 
 
 She then briefly turned her back on the crowd, showing off a huge tattoo with the big, bold words: “NO FEAR.” 
 
 The crowd went wild when Madonna let it loose. And there has been no major backlash to the peep show in the predominantly Muslim nation. 
 
 Madonna has been the queen of drama during her worldwide summer tour. 
 
 She got people talking last week by placing a swastika on a picture of conservative French politician Marine Le Pen during a show in Tel Aviv. 
 
 The French National Front leader ripped Madonna and called her a has-been. 
 
 “We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes,” Le Pen told The Daily Mail. 
 
 Madonna did manage to make some political news yesterday. 
 
 Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, an avid bass player, said he hasn’t been vetted for a spot on the GOP ticket. 
 
 “I have not been asked,” Huckabee told ABC’s “This Week.” 
 
 “I think there’s a greater likelihood that I’ll be asked by Madonna to go on tour as her bass player than I’ll be picked to be on the ticket.”

 “I’m gonna be O.K./I don’t care what people say,” Madonna sings on her new album, “MDNA.” That may be the least necessary assurance in pop-music history. 
 
 For nearly 30 years it has been a fact of popular culture that Madonna perseveres, calculates, reconfigures, strives and endures. Her gift for writing catchy tunes that suit her unvirtuosic voice, matched to lyrics that often straddle the clichéd and the universal, has been strong enough to carry her through hits and flops, artistic moments and easy gimmicks. Four years after her last album, Madonna, at 53, remains superstar enough to have been handed this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. That high-tech, hollow performance started the promotional cycle for her latest release. 
 
 Now that thumping dance beats are all over Top 40 radio, Madonna’s timing is good for “MDNA” (Interscope), her 12th studio album. It’s a bipolar collection that pumps out effervescent electronic pop before making way for a contentious personal agenda. Along the way Madonna strikes some favorite poses: lapsing Roman Catholic, club hottie, woman in love and — especially — the wounded tough gal. The poses matter less than the panache she brings to them.

 On her 2008 album, “Hard Candy,” Madonna worked with the hip-hop and R&B producers who dominated Top 40 at the time. But since then Lady Gaga arrived, out-Madonna-ing Madonna for the sheer rate of fashion churn and bringing the four-on-the-floor beat and electronic pulse of dance-pop to the Top 10, while other rock, pop and R&B acts also embraced four-on-the-floor.

 “MDNA” doesn’t deign to grapple much with the competition. Occasionally it fights insecurity with self-advertising: placing Madonna’s name in the chorus of “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” which she performed at the Super Bowl (and one of the album’s weakest tracks), or enlisting Nicki Minaj in “I Don’t Give A” to declare that “there’s only one queen, and that’s Madonna.” But mostly it’s just Madonna resuming her longtime habit of collaborating with dance-pop producers.
– Madonna's big halftime show is over, and the peanut gallery is fairly evenly split—but the topic of the evening is clearly age. Plenty of people are giving her the thumbs up for looking so great at 53. Others think the cheerleader/pom-pom bit was a little ... young. She was joined by LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, MIA, and Cee Lo, and ran through classics like "Vogue" and "Like a Prayer," along with new single "Give Me All Your Luvin." Highlights from the Twitterverse: Some ladies in Hollywood (and ladies in general) are impressed with her appearance. For example, @kirstiealley: "Could Madonna look any more gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!?????? Jeez!!!!!!! This is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!! Genius!!!" And then, the age digs. A sample: @phil_rosenthal: "Did Madonna just sing, 'I'm 60 and I know it'?" @RyanLoco: "Fun fact: Cheerleading wasn't even invented when Madonna was in high school." @BlameTelford: "We used to just have wardrobe malfunctions, I think Madonna just had a hip malfunction." @GPollowitz: "Cheerleader Madonna. I had this dream in 1985." Check out Huffington Post for more, including reports that she slipped. Or click here to watch MIA's obscene moment.
