As The Hollywood Reporter revealed last September, the NFL has been secretly pursuing M.I.A. in arbitration in the aftermath of Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5, 2012. During the event, watched by nearly 167 million TV households, the Sri Lankan singer-rapper extended her middle finger during a performance of Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” M.I.A. wasn’t paid for the event as is the custom of the league. But nevertheless, the NFL spent the first two years of arbitration demanding $1.5 million for allegedly breaching her performance contract and tarnishing its goodwill and reputation. Now the NFL has added an additional claim, seeking $15.1 million more in “restitution” as the alleged value of public exposure she received by appearing for an approximately two minute segment during Madonna’s performance. The figure is based on what advertisers would have paid for ads during this time. “The claim for restitution lacks any basis in law, fact, or logic,” say M.I.A.’s response papers, filed on Friday. The music superstar tells the arbitrator that the “continued pursuit of this proceeding is transparently an exercise by the NFL intended solely to bully and make an example of Respondents for daring to challenge NFL.” As we previously reported, Howard King, the attorney for M.I.A., has been attempting to undercut the NFL’s argument that its reputation has been damaged by soliciting information from the public on what he says is the NFL’s lack of wholesomeness. He has even set up an e-mail address — NFL@khpblaw.com — intended to “balance the playing field.” The latest arbitration papers for M.I.A. go into the “profane, bawdy, lascivious, demeaning and/or unacceptable behavior by its players, team owners, coaching and management personnel and by performers chosen and endorsed by NFL to perform in its halftime shows.” M.I.A.

There's a rumour that Madonna is recording for Avicii's soon to be repacked album True.

Kirtsy Wark on the adoption interview, 2006 Pop icon Madonna was a super diva when she was first questioned about adopting her Malawi-born son in a sit-down interview. The star was interviewed by journalist Kirsty Wark on BBC2's Newsnight in 2006, amid a wave of criticisms of her adoption of an African baby. Speaking on The John Murray Show on RTÉ Radio 1, Mrs Wark said, ''She didn't like it when I asked a couple of questions, you know, about the adoption yet that was what the interview was about.'' ''You could see she was becoming uncomfortable and really after the interview there was a complete switch off,'' she said. The journalist recalled how the superstar had dictated the lighting concept for the interview and had ''controlled absolutely everything''. ''When we got there we realised that her lighting rig had been all set up and it was beautiful and it was filmy, gauzy and all fabulous and there I was looking completely different with a mic and one lighting camera,'' she said. ''She controls absolutely everything and I can understand that, you have an image you want to protect. She controlled absolutely everything for the set up in that interview,'' the BBC journalist added. Wark said it was difficult to warm to Madonna because the singer appeared to have a ''guard'' up. ''I admire her but I didn't necessarily take to her but I didn't take against her. I wouldn't mind sitting down and having a glass of wine with her but I wonder would she ever be off her guard,'' she said. The journalist interviewed the music icon after she received a bashing in the media for adopting the little boy from Africa, David Banda. 'We had been asking to interview Madonna for a while and then of course she adopted David Banda and there was a great hoo-ha,'' she said.

"It's like maybe the world would stop mid orbit! Yeah, it would be incredible." Pop Princess Kylie Minogue discussing chances to collaborate with Madonna in an exclusive interview with the Huffington Post UK. "I don't know if it would ever happen. Maybe it's something that will live in our imagination."

I guessed because she done it at the Grammys. However there's no excuse for missing it on the RIT.

Albums: Now That's What I Call 80's Dance Electronic 80's I might buy into the blue this week.

That's really good.

I can't help but think of jumping on the band wagon again, however the Girl Gone Wild avicci remix was excellent so here's hoping. Madonna also said she was working with David Guetta once and it turned out to be them working on Revolver remixes.

Great show last night, one of the best this series, good news another series is on the cards.
