After weeks of rumors, the NFL and NBC confirmed last night that Madonna will perform at this season's Super Bowl halftime show. And the Feb. 5 performance is sure to be a spectacle, because the AP reports she's collaborating with Cirque du Soleil on her act. New York points out that the timing is right for the Material Girl—her movie WE opens in the US two days prior to the game, and she's working on a new album. The gig should provide good publicity for both—unless, of course, she bombs like last year's act did.
