Fresh off party rocking with Madonna at the Super Bowl halftime show, LMFAO remix the pop queen’s new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’” featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. The animated duo of Redfoo and SkyBlu turn the bubblegum pop confection into a rave-ready record, tacking on their own rap verses that will have you fist pumping all night long.

Madonna may have put on a show-stopping performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, but it was M.I.A. who stole the spotlight with one single gesture. The “Paper Planes” hitmaker flipped the bird while performing with the pop queen, causing the NFL and NBC to issue apologies.

The controversial incident occurred during the debut performance of Madonna’s new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” Cameras cut to M.I.A., who threw up the middle finger and rapped a barely disguised expletive (“I don’t give a shi—”). NBC censors briefly blurred the screen, but they were late by less than a second.

The moment was reminiscent of Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” from eight years ago, which ignited a firestorm with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In the years following, the organization tightened its control over television.

Officials from the NFL and NBC have apologized to anyone who was offended while viewing the family-friendly event, which is the most watched TV program of the year with over 100 million people tuning in.

“The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show,” NBC spokesman Christopher McCloskey said. “Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”

The NFL attributed a failure in NBC’s delay system for allowing the gesture to be broadcast. According to spokesman Brian McCarthy, M.I.A. did not display the middle finger during rehearsals and the NFL had no reason to believe that she would do so during the live show.

“The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing, and we apologize to our fans,” McCarthy said.

M.I.A. has yet to address the situation. Just last week, the British singer debuted the well-received video for “Bad Girls,” the first single from her upcoming fourth album.

The Giants and the Patriots weren’t the only stars on the field on Super Bowl Sunday. Madonna put on a thrilling performance during the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The pop queen delivered a dazzling medley of her greatest hits in front of over 100 million viewers.

Dressed as a gladiator in Givenchy, she made a grand entrance to “Vogue” before joining acrobats from Cirque du Soleil for “Music” and LMFAO on their hits “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy and I Know It.” Pom poms in hand, she marched into her new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’” with her cheerleading squad including firecracker Nicki Minaj and a middle finger-flipping M.I.A.

After segueing into “Open Your Heart” and “Express Yourself,” Cee Lo Green helped the Material Girl take it to church with “Like a Prayer,” accompanied by a gospel choir. Twelve minute later, she disappeared through a cloud of smoke to roaring applause and the words “World Peace” spelled out on the floor.

With Super Bowl XLVI just days away, halftime show headliner Madonna returns to the front lines with the video for “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” the first single from her 12th album MDNA, due March 26. The pop queen assembles an all-star team of femme fatales for the cheerleading and football-themed visuals, directed by Megaforce.

Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. raise their pom poms as they flank the Material Girl in cheerleading outfits, and Young Money’s First Lady delivers her own feisty verse as her alter ago Roman Zolanski. “I’m Roman, I’m a barbarian, I’m Conan,” she raps.

Madonna expressed her admiration for her co-stars. “I love [Nicki and M.I.A.] and I wanted to collaborate with both of them on my record because I’m a big fan of their music, but also I like their independence,” she told Anderson Cooper. “They’re cheeky and unique and they have individual voices and they’re not conventional pop stars, and I really admire them both.”

The trio will perform the song live for the first time at Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show in Indianapolis.

Make way for M.I.A. The pop crusader storms Morocco in a BMW in the action-packed video for “Bad Girls,” the first single from her fourth album, due this summer. “Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well,” she chants on the Danja-produced banger. The gritty visuals, directed by Romain Gavras (“Born Free”), were shot in Ouarzazate, Morocco.

“It was dope to have so many people from so many different backgrounds speaking so many different languages come together to create something that we believed in,” said M.I.A. “I thought I was gonna die on the shoot when I saw the drifting. It was a four day shoot so everyone was on edge the whole time specifically ME when I had to do bluesteel singing to the camera while the cars did doughnuts on the wet road ten feet away. In my mind I was thinking how I was gonna deliver the video to Vice with no legs.”

Watch the dangerous results below.

Put your pom poms up. Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. join Madonna’s cheerleading squad in the Megaforce-directed video for “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” the first single from the Material Girl’s 12th album MDNA (March 26). A one-minute preview aired tonight on “American Idol,” and the full video will premiere on YouTube tomorrow at 9 a.m. EST.

“I love [Nicki and M.I.A.] actually and I wanted to collaborate with both of them on my record because I’m a big fan of their music, but also I like their independence, I like their spirit,” Madonna told Anderson Cooper. “They’re cheeky and unique and they have individual voices and they’re not conventional pop stars, and I really admire them both.”

Both ladies will join the pop queen at Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show in Indianapolis. “Omfg. Madonna’s show is about to murdaaaa everything movinggg. Wow. Such a surreal moment,” tweeted Nicki during rehearsals.

M.I.A. is coming back with power, power. With less than a day to go until her video for the Danja-produced “Bad Girls” premieres, the rebellious artist offers a sneak peek with two photos from the shoot. Maya turns a BMW on its side as she rides through the Middle East in one scene. The video, directed by Romain Gavras (“Born Free”), will debut online tomorrow and she will perform with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at this Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Nicki Minaj unleashes her alter ego Roman Zolanski on a 90-second snippet of Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” the first single from her 12th studio album MDNA. You can also hear M.I.A. on the finished version of the Martin Solveig production. The song and video will debut in full tomorrow.

M.I.A. has remained out of the spotlight since the release of 2010’s /\/\/\Y/\. Today she resurfaced with a new single “Bad Girls,” produced by Danja, and her first interview in months. Speaking with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe from the Super Bowl rehearsals, the firecracker femcee dished on her upcoming performance with Madonna at Sunday’s halftime show, collaborating with the pop queen, and her fourth album, due this summer.

On performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis: “Yes, I’m going to the Super Bowl. Actually I’ve never been to the Super Bowl, so it’s my first time. I’m going to be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj. If you’re gonna go to the Super Bowl, you might as well go there with America’s biggest female icons.”

On collaborating with pop royalty: “She is the original. If you’re gonna support someone, that’s a pretty dope achievement. I’m sure my mum is gonna be way [more] into that than me putting ‘Galang’ out.”

On why she wanted to work with Madge: “As musicians, we’re two women and we represent two opposite sides of the world. If we can come together on a piece of music or something like the Super Bowl, I feel like that’s actually a cool thing to see this year because it’s getting silly out there.”

On her as-yet-untitled fourth album: “I want it to be a summer thing ’cause it’s a summer record. As soon as I finish the Super Bowl, I’ve gotta do another couple of weeks with European producers.”

“Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well,” chants M.I.A. on “Bad Girls,” the first single from her upcoming fourth album, due this summer. An early version of the rattling Danja production appeared on her 2011 mixtape Vicki Leekx, and the final song will hit iTunes tomorrow. A video, directed by Romain Gavras (“Born Free”) will premiere Friday, the same day as her collaboration with Madonna and Nicki Minaj (“Gimme All Your Luvin’”). And then there’s that little thing called the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday.
