1. Last night Madonna released a sneak preview of her music video for “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” which she’ll be performing at the Super Bowl this weekend– presumably with some help from Nicki Minaj and MIA, who co-wrote the song. Watch the full-length version of the football-inspired clip here.

2. Not to be outdone by Madge, MIA dropped the new video for “Bad Girls” — a remix of the track that appeared on her Vicki Leekx mixtape — this morning too. Do you prefer her in a cheerleader costume or a metallic jumpsuit? Watch it here and decide.

3. There’s a rumor floating around that Simon Cowell has offered Beyoncé $500M — or $100M a year for five years — to be a judge on The X-Factor. We wonder how Mariah Carey feels about that. [via MediaTakeOut]

4. After filing the paperwork with the Federal Election Commission last month, Roseanne Barr has formally announced that she’s running for the Green Party’s presidential nomination. If she can only convince Aunt Jackie to be her running mate, we don’t see how she could possibly lose. [via Deadline]

5. Apparently, Chris Rock is writing a romantic comedy for Melissa McCarthy “in which he envisions the Bridesmaids breakout playing his wife as the pair indulge in some boisterous dysfunction — a ‘Jerry Springer couple,’ as Rock put it.” [via Vulture]

Bonus Buzz: Four Breakfast Cereals Inspired By TV Characters

Today at Flavorpill, we were thrilled that A Visit From the Goon Squad author Jennifer Egan was among this year’s Pulitzer Prize winners. We watched cowboy monkeys riding dogs herding goats. We were excited to hear that Mariah Carey has signed on to be one of the judges on The X Factor — we’re assuming she’ll be the Paula. We absolutely adored Rakesh Satyal’s hilarious essay about the biggest Barbie moment of his life. We liked the looks of these Super Mario propaganda posters and these creative ads for a bookstore in Lithuania. We were impressed by Wayne Dorrington’s visual retelling of The Empire Strikes Back in just 63 lines of icons. We enjoyed Nick Nolte’s beard in this teaser clip for HBO’s upcoming horse racing series Luck. We wanted to make our own map of the London Underground out of string. We witnessed the transformation of a store front in Harlem over nearly three decades. And finally, we bookmarked this list of 15 of the most famous cafes in the literary world for the next time we’re headed to Europe. How many of these iconic spots have you visited?

Today at Flavorpill, we took note of the top 20 New Year’s Eve TV episodes ever and pined after the film festival favorites that didn’t make it to theaters in 2010. We looked forward to the publication of Portraits in the Presence of Marina Abramovic, a book compiling photos from the artist’s recent MoMA performance piece. We relived the year in Mariah Carey. We gawked at this gorgeous infographic visualizing 2010′s domestic box office receipts and admired Lyuba Haleva’s hypnotic newspaper, flyer, and brochure collages. We facepalmed at the year’s most obvious scientific discoveries. We perused the great Paula Deen’s recipes for lucky foods to cook while ringing in 2011. Like everyone else on the Internet, we had some fun with the original, 1996 Space Jam website. And finally, we wished our readers a very happy New Year. Tomorrow Flavorwire will be counting down our top 10 posts of 2010, and then we’ll see you back here in January.

Despite the fact that Barbra Streisand may as well be eleven-ty years old when compared to the likes of the tween stars who currently dominate the pop world (and was nowhere to be found on our 50 Essential Women-in-Music Albums list), she’s poised to snag the top spot on the Billboard Charts next week with her new collection of jazz standards, proving once again that only old people buy CDs anymore. More on the her crushing defeat over Mariah Carey and Paramore after the jump. Read More »

Let this correspondent temper the choral praise for Lee Daniels’ — ahem, Tyler Perry and Oprah’s — Precious. It’s certainly not a total letdown (not with lead performances as immediate and crackerjack as that), but it’s also not the Great Urban Hope that so many have purported it to be. Indeed, the subject matter pulverizes the proverbial envelope — with incest, rape, poverty, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, and child abuse all saddled on the obese, African-American heroine Precious — but each misery is strung up to be drip-dried until the melodrama’s last turn of screw. The best parts, alas, are probably in the trailer. Read More »

Yanni will always have the Acropolis, the Taj Mahal and Beijing’s Forbidden City. But when it comes to performing in the shadow of major historic landmarks, Brooklyn’s own David Fishel has the New Age pianist beat by a long shot. In the past two years, Fishel has danced at more than 50 sites across Europe and the United States, with landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Golden Gate Bridge and Times Square providing the backdrop to his performances. He films all of his dances and posts them on a site called Davey Dance Blog. Read More »

Full disclosure: I’m a Mo’Nique addict, so the moment this movie started generating buzz at Sundance, I couldn’t wait to see it. Then it won a bunch of awards. And then there was drama about who has the rights to release it. (Lionsgate won.) But rest assured, all is well, and the trailer for Precious has finally hit the interwebs and it lives up to all the hype. Read More »
