Madonna Replacing Eli Manning In Super Bowl Lineup?

Madonna will perform in front of the biggest audience of her career at Sunday's Super Bowl, and admitted it's the most nerve-racking thing she has ever done. But is the queen of pop aware that, before and after her halftime show, there is a football game?

"Yes, I've been told, thank you for reminding me," Madonna said. "I am playing in the game. I am going to be the quarterback ... for the Giants. Aren't they playing?"

It's going to be a busy February for Madonna with the releases of her new album and her directorial debut with the film "W.E.," which centers on the controversial relationship between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for love.

And although Madonna doesn't expect the reigning Queen of England to have a personal response to her film, she said she does hope everyone at the palace enjoys it.

...Madonna looked confident and strong. She is beautiful woman and is very talented. She takes care of her body with yoga and a healthy diet.

The players feel sorry for Madge just as they would for their Grandma!

Madonna rocks and she'll put on a killer performance. Even the players in the game have spoke out with unanimous support.

Wow I can't tell if Madonna is so uncomfortable because her face is tighter than the laces on a football, or she can't believe the Super Bowl isn't about HER?

Eeeeishhhh this is painful, both ways!

Frankly..Bless your immature heart! When you are asked to perform at the Super bowl, you then, comment back!

In every interview she has squirmed, writhed and stuttered. Has nothing to do with my maturity. She is very uncomfortable with the whole thing.

So there's bland for you.

Yes, she IS outrageously untalented!

I'd much rather watch her than the silly football game any day.

You should try out the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. Technically, it's on before the Super Bowl, but I watch it instead of.

What is more popular, The Super Bowl or Madonna's Halftime Show? Are people watching the Super Bowl because of Madonna or the NFL teams playing? If you took away Madonna, would people not watch the Super Bowl? If no teams were playing, would there be a Super Bowl. All Madonna is is an aging 80's pop star, who is pushing 60, and trying to look 30ish.

Madonna gets my vote. I'm taping it and just watching her on Monday

[Tim Fahey]

Um, she is 53. I wouldn't say that is "pushing" 60. Your stupid comment perhaps might be more accurate if she were 57 or 58. If she hadn't had any "work" done, you'd be slamming her for looking "old" and you might even suggest she get some work done. Jerk.

You know you are not relevant in the music industry when the NFL ask you to play the super bowl halftime gig and you accept it. It was a long haul and there may never be anyone that will match her career. She joins the ranks of musical has beens, such as Michael Jackson, U2, Diana Ross, The Rolling Stones, etc...

[Parade Keegan]

Yup.

[Irishtimesguy]

03:27 PM on 02/03/2012

I would do her and eat her until she passed out

[racebird1k]

03:43 PM on 02/03/2012

lol i think she would out last you my irish friend. but it would be fun trying

I wish Madonna the best and am sure she will give it her all; but for the best Super Bowl half-time show EVER, check out Michael Jackson in 1993, never to be duplicated.

[Irishtimesguy]

03:27 PM on 02/03/2012

Oh yeah, Michael Jackson. The kid born as a poor black child who died as a poor white drug addicted pedophile man.

[juney7]

05:29 PM on 02/03/2012

Hey Irish that's okay Michael forgives you; his fans? dunno about that!

[kevvone]

01:25 PM on 02/04/2012

His pedophile charges were never ever proven, but I see you hold to negativity over what the media force fed you.

If her "performance" is lip synced, it won't play very well, just like last year.

[Irishtimesguy]

03:28 PM on 02/03/2012

She can lip sync on me all night long.

[kevvone]

01:26 PM on 02/04/2012

I get her when you're done.
