Cee Lo Green shared a holy moment onstage with Madonna at Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show. Still recovering from the epic evening, the soul crooner reflected on joining the pop queen for her classic “Like a Prayer.”

“It was awesome. A very, very, very wonderful, monumental experience to be a part of,” Cee Lo said during his appearance on the “Today” show on Monday morning. “Madonna definitely knows how to put on a wonderful show, but it was a great production. She did a great job.”

He was also asked about the M.I.A. finger-flipping controversy. “Actually I’m just hearing about it today, this morning as I get here,” he said. “I was so caught up in the moment yesterday, I had no idea.”

“Indianapolis, what it do nephew?” said Snoop Dogg while touching down for his appearance on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on Friday night. With his hair in a perm, the hip-hop icon came bearing “smoking accessories” for the talk show host and shared lots of laughs.

Coach Snoop discussed his youth football league, advice for the coaches of the Giants and Patriots (“Fly the friendly skies”), news anchor alter ego Nemo Hoes, and cleared up his recent arrest in Norway, attributing it to having too much money.

“I had about $7,000 in [Norwegian] money, so I said, ‘Ya’ll take the funny money, give me the cash, and we call it even,’” he explained. “We broke bread and they faked dead and we kept it moving and I kept on pushing.”

But the highlight came when he displayed his hilarious touchdown dance, which he calls “Pee on the Tree.” We would love to see this performed at the Super Bowl.

Mary J. Blige tackled some heavy issues during her sit-down with pal Wendy Williams. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul discussed her sobriety, rumors surrounding her marriage, and motherhood.

“I don’t need alcohol to get me out of a depression or get me out of a bad moment, but I have occasional drinks with my friends,” explained Mary, who was once addicted to drugs. “I traded the coke for the alcohol and that’s why I had to completely cut it out for five years.”

She also shot down reports that her marriage to manager Kendu Isaacs is in trouble. “My marriage is not on the rocks, but I would be a liar and my fans would hate me if I said to them, ‘Oh, we’re perfect and everything is great,’” she said. “We have situations just like everyone else. We’re not out in public trying to kill each other, but it’s real. We love each other.”

Wendy encouraged MJB to become a mother, but she’s in no rush. “When it’s time, when it happens, it’s in my future. I’m not planning it,” said Mary, who also performed her My Life II single “Mr. Wrong” and the Golden Globe-nominated “The Living Proof.”
