Kate Upton Mercedes Super Bowl Commercial Leaked

Fans of scantily clad supermodels and high-end German cars are going to love the new Kate Upton Mercedes ad, which is slated to make its TV debut during Sunday’s Super Bowl but was conveniently leaked online last week. In the 90-second online spot, the 20-year-old model — best known for gracing the cover of last year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition — shows up at what appears to be a fundraising car wash for a high school football team. Donning skimpy shorts and a cleavage-busting top, she blows soap suds, plays with her hair and flirts while the players wash what […]

Here’s footage, courtesy of Extra, of Maria facing the music in a Giants-colored bikini on a particularly chilly NYC day. The full episode of Extra airs tonight: video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

Madonna rocks the Super Bowl Halftime show

A safety opened scoring and a punter made the case for game MVP – Super Bowl XLVI between the Giants and Patriots got off to a slow first-half start. Thankfully, then there was Madonna. The 53-year old pop icon played one of the best-ever Super Bowl XLVI Halftime shows, covering an electrifying mix of classics hits and new material in typically over-the-top fashion. She entered the stage as a Cleopatra-like queen, carried by a legion of toga-wearing warrior-slaves, and promptly launched into “Vogue,” her tribute to screen goddesses. With tightrope dancers, floor screens surrounding the stage, a full gospel choir […]

Super Bowl Sunday also offers programming “bowls” of other sorts

If you haven’t been living on the moon, you know that this Sunday the Super Bowl will be played (and if you didn’t know, you can find the details of the monstrous amount of coverage here). It’s become a national holiday of sorts, and also a day on which other TV networks have historically given up trying to counter-program anything new against what is traditionally one of the highest-rated programs of the year — and sometimes, of all time. But in the last decade or so, some networks have caught on to the notion that by presenting “bowls” of their […]
