Fred Armisen as Joy Behar sums up M.I.A.’s finger nicely.

Madonna obsession starting now. LOVE HER. I feel guilty I ever doubted her, or thought she was being mean to Lady GaGa. Shame on me. Madonna, the one, the Queen, the only. Nobody does it like Madonna.

If you love Yelle, take a peek at this awesome mixtape called “Patinoire” released by Yelle producers/DJs GrandMarnier and Julien Tiné. They describe their sound as “Refreshing and emo at the same time, like the best orange juice you ever had in your life!” Enjoy!

01. Storm Queen – It goes on
02. Pollyester – Concierge d’amour (Rory Phillips Mix)
03. Todd Terje – Inspector norse
04. Bartellow and Ogris Debris – The thrill is gone (Ogris Debris rethrill)
05. Nguzunguzu – Got U (Canblaster & Berou Bonus Remix)
06. Nicki Minaj – Stupid hoe
07. Yelle – S’éteint le soleil (Ridu remix)

‘Patinoire’ means ‘skating rink’ in French. So, if winter is being cold where you are, this is the perfect mix for the rink.

Madonna: The only interesting part of the Super Bowl

Madonna's opening scene looked a bit like The Hunger Games, no? Photo via justjared.buzznet.com

At a male dominated sport, I gotta say: The ladies totally stole the entire show. Madonna had amazing energy at her Super Bowl halftime show while she played Vogue, Music, Give Me All Your Luvin’, Party Rock Anthem/I’m Sexy and I Know It, Open Your Heart and Like a Prayer with LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee-Lo Green.

That was DEFINITELY the best Super Bowl performance of all time. Second to Britney, N*SYNC and Aerosmith. Holla!

Go Madonna!!

PS I hear M.I.A. flipped off the camera. Folks, that’s like the least offensive thing she could have ever done on national television. Is anyone even offended by the middle finger anymore? Compared to Janet Jackson’s boob, that was nothing.

Puppy Bowl VIII: What Super Bowl Sunday is really all about

I LOVE the Puppy Bowl. I think it’s one of the most genius things Animal Planet has ever done. Honestly. If you haven’t watched the Puppy Bowl because you’re a diehard football fan, or your just haven’t ever seen it, it will change your life. Not really, but it’s the cutest thing in the entire world.

First, the puppies are on teams and run around a small “field” with a chew toy football trying to “score points” (run around like puppies and look cute). Sometimes there’s pee, I’m sure there’s been a poo or two, but that’s just part of the fun.

Then, at halftime, the most amazing thing ever happens: The Kitty Halftime show. Kittys are placed on the field with kitty-like toys, but they all look frightened and pissed off and basically don’t do anything but hiss at things. It’s so joyous!

The animals are all provided by animal shelters that deal in pet adoptions. So not only is the Puppy Bowl amazing, but it also promotes pet adoption to (hopefully) loving families. What’s not to love!!!

Jenny and Johnny, i.e. Jenny Lewis childhood-star-Rilo-Kiley-frontwoman-and-solo-fame-goddess and singer songwriter Johnathan Rice. Their relationship brought them a joint album titled We’re Having Fun Now that was released in 2010. Feeling all sentimental, here’s my favorite song from their album, called “Big Wave”.
