"Live fast, die young,badgirlsdo it well" and M.I.A. doing stunts on the streets of Morocco orfiling her nails while the car is driving up on two wheels is what her new video was directed byRomain Gavrasis all about. Badass as hell!

I truly enjoyed the Superbowl Halftime show, and I'm still unsure if it was a lipsync, live singing, or both. But if I could pick a highlight, it'd have to be the live mashup LMFAO did with Madonna. Thankfully we now have a housified grab-and-go version of the collaboration for your listening pleasure. Madonna feat. LMFAO, M.I.A., and Nicki Minaj - Give Me All Your Love (Remix) We also have Tiesto with his fifth episode of 'In The Booth'.

"I understand its punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity, it seemed negative. Its such a teenager ... irrelevant thing to do ... there was such a feeling of love and unity there. What was the point?" - Madonna discusses M.I.A.'s middle finger with Ryan Seacrest (via TMZ ).]]> text/html 2012-02-10T18:53:05+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4052151/madonna-comments-on-mias-bird-flip/
Ever since Monday, we've been hearing rumors that Madonna was furious at M.I.A. for flipping off the camera during Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show. Today, we get confirmation, as NME reports . Talking to Ryan Seacrest earlier today (because of course she was), Madonna said that she "wasn't happy about it," breaking it down thus: "It's kind of a teenager irrelevant thing to do in one respect, but there was such a feeling of love and unity there so what was the point? It was just out of place." I don't know about the [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-10T18:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4052142/madonna-says-mia-ruined-her-show-is-a-stupid-teenager/
http://www.nme.com/news/madonn a/61968 M.I.A.'s life continues to unravel after the Super Bowl. Earlier this week, she was exposed as a deadbeat mom . Now it seems as though she is being shunned by Madonna. Just a few weeks ago, MIA was all like 'big thangs are poppin, yall!' But now, Madonna has basically said that M.I.A. is a stupid tween who ruined the positive vibes of her show by flipping off the camera just to make herself 'a national talking point', even though no1 even really cared, it just fueled [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-10T18:36:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4052108/madonna-responds-to-mias-middle-finger-listen-here/
Madonna has responded to M.I.A. 's middle finger. Madonna called in to Ryan Seacrest s morning radio show and talked about M.I.A.s middle finger that made an appearance during the Super Bowl halftime show. Of course, she wasn't happy about it. Sarcastically calling it "punk rock," Madge said she didn't realize it happened until after she walked off the stage, noting that she couldn't keep track of everything that was happening while the performance was taking place. To tell you the truth, I didnt even know about [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-10T18:19:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4052103/madonnas-interview-with-ryan-seacrest-7-classy-quotes/
This morning, our Pop & Fizz leader Madonna called in to KIIS-FM's On Air With Ryan Seacrest to have a chat with the American Idol host about her recent Super Bowl Performance , thoughts on M.I.A. giving America the F.U. via her middle finger and her upcoming album MDNA . And, lucky for you, we listened to the full interview and sussed out the seven classiest quotes that the "Give Me All Your Luvin'" singer gave.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Jeff Kravitz, FilmMagic It's been almost a week since Madonna 's halftime show at the Super Bowl -- and for the most part, the reviews have been positive . However, the one dark cloud hovering over Madge's sporty triumph came courtesy of her duet partner, M.I.A. and her middle finger . Surprise,surprise: Madonna is none too pleased about it !

A few months (or weeks) from now, you may not remember who won the Super Bowl. But we bet you'll remember who performed at halftime , and that's just one reason why she dominates the latest Pop & Fizz chart. We've tallied the ups and downs of M.I.A., Lana Del Rey, Missy Elliott and the rest of this week's news-making pop artists, and you'll find the results below. (Remember, we study each artist or major news story according to their size (thats Rank) and then we weigh how theyre faring overall in the pop zeitgeist (thats Hype).

Gordon has got hold of MIA's backstage rider. You'd better strap yourself in : CRACKPOT singer M.I.A has one of the weirdest gig riders I've seen. That's setting the bar high. Cher wanted a room for her wigs; Iggy Pop insisted on a copy of USA Today with a story about morbidly obese people in it. And, hey, Gordon, you must have heard of some pretty extreme demands before, too, yeah? One of the backstage demands for her 2011 tour tops Mariah Carey's request for bendy straws and Duran Duran's lavish demands for rare French [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-09T21:00:03+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4049725/top-10-videos-of-the-week-29/
Im looking for something thatllbreak through. You know? James Woods Max Renn yearns in David Cronenbergs 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In todays day and age, weve already drowned in media. Its swallowed us. Were nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, youre losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture thats moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be aloneleft behindabandoned. Terrified yet? Yes?

This video is so awesome! I like M.I.A., but I can't imagine her making a song better than Paper Planes...she does have SWWAAAG though. -LaJack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =2uYs0gJD-LE]]> text/html 2012-02-09T14:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4048812/mia-bad-girls-video/
It's all in the name isn't it? Do I need to say anymore other that Superbowl controversy? Check out M.I.A do her stuff below, the video is incredible, as is the song. M.I.A. - Bad Girls on MUZU .

Questa notizia talmente folle all'apparenza da non poter non essere riportata. Voi, da piccoli, intorno ai dieci anni, avevate un cantante del cuore o una celebrit che ammiravate parecchio? Sicuramente il piccolo Lenny non aveva mai nascosto la sua passione per i brani e i video di Michael Jackson . Non gli sembrava vero di poter esibirsi davanti a tutti nel celebre ballo del suo mito, vestito come lui mentre indietreggiava e faceva quella tipica mossa con la mano nelle parti basse, in "Billie Jean". Un passo di danza? Non per la scuola elementare cattolica [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-08T19:48:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4046723/check-out-mias-tour-rider/

Every big-time touring musician has a slightly ridiculous tour rider, but most of those riders don't appear on the Smoking Gun. M.I.A., once again notorious thanks to her bird-flipping stunt at the Super Bowl, appears to be the exception. As the Smoking Gun reports , M.I.A.'s 2011 tour rider includes all the luxuries you'd expect: absinthe, hummus, Italian chocolate. And, in faintly ridiculous language, it also sheds some light on M.I.A.'s stagecraft. It requests three female extras with stage presence who are willing to stand onstage for the entire show, "groove to the music," and wear full [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-08T13:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4045755/mia-bad-girls-video/
The grossly overhyped controversy surrounding M.I.A.'s recent Super Bowl performance - specifically her flipping the bird to camera - has yet to die down, but the hoo ha certainly isn't doing her latest single any harm. In what can only be described as Arabs acting like lunatics, the video to Bad Girls is a must watch. Plus Danja, the guy behind Timbaland's post-Aaliyah renaissance, is on the boards for this one and comes up trumps.]]> text/html 2012-02-08T07:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044813/veni-video-vici/
M.I.A. - Bad Girls Qualcuno, non io, deve avere detto a M.I.A. che il suo ultimo disco forse era troppo pop. Ecco la risposta. Questa canzone la sentiremo per taaaanto tempo (vado a sensazione) il video una specie di California Love senza post-apocalisse ma con la stessa coattaggine. Bellissimo, manco a dirlo.

M.I.A. is really riding her 15 minutes of relevance. After flipping off America during Madonna s Super Bowl Halftime, news is that she broken up with her billionaire beau, Benjamin Bronfman . Apparently, the two have been living separate lives in two different countries. M.I.A., whose real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam , lives in London while her fianc lives in New York with their son Ikhyd . A source has said that M.I.A. sometimes goes six weeks without seeing her son. [...]]]>
