Madonna is not a woman who likes to share her spotlight, so the fact that she surrendered the aesthetic of her new video for "Give Me All Your Luvin' " to promoting her upcoming appearance at Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show and asked M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj to appear on the track is no small feat.

IN ONLY SEVEN of the first 45 Super Bowls was a defensive player chosen as the game's most valuable player. In a quarterback-centric sport, an enterprise where every rule change in anyone's memory has been designed to inflate the scoreboard totals, this does not exactly qualify as a surprise.
