Madonna To Tour The World: Will Kick Off 'MDNA' World Tour In Israel

Watch out, Tel Aviv: the Queen Of Pop is headed your way.

Live Nation announced Madonna's upcoming world tour on Tuesday. The tour will begin in May following the March 26 release of her album "MDNA" in Tel Aviv, Israel, move through Europe and South America, and wrap up in North America in August.

This will be the "Give Me All Your Luvin'" singer's first tour since her high-grossing 2008-2009 "Sticky & Sweet" tour, which brought in more than $400 million.

Madonna didn't announce the supporting acts for the tour, but don't be surprised if those opening spots are filled by some of pop's reigning starlets.

While fans are ecstatic over the Material Girl's announcement, Piers Morgan likely holds a different opinion; especially after Sunday's halftime performance. Many critics and celebrities touted her show as a triumphant, if slightly staid, performance by Madge, but Morgan isn't buying it.

"That Super Bowl performance -- it was like watching your mad drunken aunt at Christmas, wasn't it? I keep reading all these celebrities tweeting like, 'Wasn't she awesome?' No she wasn't! She was gruesome!" the British journalist told Chelsea Handler on "Chelsea Lately."

This isn't the first time Morgan has proclaimed his dislike for Madonna, and he openly admitted that he doesn't "like the woman, and she doesn't like me."

Her new concert is skipping Detroit. Hard to believe because she came from this area. Also The D has a lot of fans and she probably would have no trouble selling out.

I was so excited when I found out that she was going on tour, but I was not excited about the ticket prices! $107-$348 per ticket?! That is just a little bit too much for me and my family. Still, I loved the halftime show and I think she did an awesome job dancing in those 5 inch heels. ;)

Enough with the lip-syncing comments. One performance defines her entire career all of a sudden? She does sing live on tour, you can tell because she's usually off key but that's secondary since she's not Whitney Houston and she makes up for it with a lot of dancing. Clearly people want to see her because her last tour grossed close to $500 million. Just because she's not a male rocker does not mean she doesn't have any talent. Its just two different types of talent, one is not better than the other. Its subjective.

Madonna doesn't sing live after seeing her Super Bowl performance, it's clear she can't dance anymore.

The only reason I watched the Super Bowl was because of Madonna. Once again she is light years beyond the majority of the public. So go vote for Neutur or Saint.
The rest of the Super bowl appears to be communistic. You cannot work in what ever team you want-they decide.
The kids in uniform reminded me of propaganda films I saw about Nazi Germany.

The game is either fixed or football players are really dumb. I saw no kind of skill whatsover. Winning could only be based on dumb luck.

Go away Madonna. Your halftime show was horrid and you haven't been cool for decades.

I guess the over 1 million people who bought tickets to her last tour just a couple of years ago don't consider her cool huh? I don't get people like you, you may be a good person in your life but comments like this make no sense, if you don't like her why bother coming in to comment? why bother telling someone who is very good at what they do and makes a TON of money doing it and gets millions of people to buy her music and come see her shows to stop just because you don't like her? makes very little sense. BTW I loved the half time show and so did everyone I know, even people who say they aren't fans but generally the people I've heard say they don't like it were never going to like it no matter what she did, I don't know you but I'm guessing you would fall into that catagory.

Madonna has little talent, worked really hard and became very successful. She does not have the same respect as Joni Mitchell or Bruce Springsteen. Regardless, she does an excellent job at entertaining the masses, like it or not. A lot of people were cheering and taking pictures of her during the halftime performance, so there. Fans of younger performers are bitter and jealous because the people they idolize will never come close to Madonna's success and longevity. She is driven then and today even at fifty something. Winning American Idol or video going viral is not enough to succeed. Young performers will have their time in the sun if they work really hard.

Madonna couldn't even lip-synch the songs. I heard her dentures weren't fit right.

Poor Franko. Bet he has a tin hat on. Nobody like her. Don't you get it.

I was sitting around with party guests waiting for Madonna to rip off her conservative suit and run around in her underwear.... as today's "stars"...and I use that term very loosely...do. But she didn't.

We were hoping she'd fall in those ridiculous too high boots......and then she tripped trying to get on stage. We all broke into laughter.... at Madonna..... our feminist heroine of years ago....who brought sexy to the forefront.....and then went to sleazy.....and now.... looking pretty pathetic.

I always hoped she'd age gracefully.... but I don't think there's any grace in there.
