Madonna will sing some songs at the Super Bowl

Madonna has been offi­cially confirmed as the half-time enter­tain­ment at next year's Super Bowl, reports Billboard.

With rumours cir­cu­lat­ing since October that the 'Far Away' hitmaker would launch her twelfth album during the show next February , the NFL and NBC finally confirmed it during a scin­til­lat­ing match between the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions last night.

Madonna will be following in the footsteps of Prince, U2 and Britney Spears by per­form­ing, but will have to keep an eye out for any wardrobe mal­func­tions following Janet Jackson's nipular debacle a few years ago.

In other Madonna news, 'Masterpiece', a ballad produced by William Orbit and due for inclusion on her film WE, leaked over the weekend. This follows the early leak of a demo version of her new single 'Give Me All Your Love', which will even­tu­ally feature both MIA and Nicki Minaj.
