Thank you to the President for hosting this honorary celebration and for supporting our team for as long as I can remember. In light of some recent developments, I am unable to attend today’s ceremony, as I am attending to some personal family matters.
Kia takes the top spot in USA TODAY’s Ad Meter
No one had a better night than Tom Brady, but Melissa McCarthy and @kia came close.
Her slapstick shtick for Kia won the 29th annual USA TODAY Ad Meter competition in a crazy commercial where she gets bounced out of a boat by a rampaging whale, among other ecological calamities.
The 60-second spot, called “Hero’s Journey,” is about an eco-warrior called on to save the whales — and the trees and the polar ice caps.
Mr. Clean is trolling other Super Bowl commercials
What a year for Mr. Clean.
First, the sudsy spokesman reinvents himself as a sex symbol in his latest Super Bowl ad. And now he spends the whole game trolling his advertising rivals.
Mr. Clean tweeted at companies as their commercials aired, often offering his own critiques and ways he could help.
First, he went after Skittles.
Then it was GoDaddy.
Lady Gaga preaches unity during high-flying Super Bowl set
Minutes before her halftime show at Sunday’s Super Bowl 51, Lady Gaga previewed her performance in her a dramatic black-and-white Tiffany’s commercial: “I’m coming for you.”
She wasn’t kidding, kicking off her 13-minute performance from the top of Houston’s NRG Stadium with an a cappella snippet of God Bless America, before leaping from the roof.
Her opener indicated how the rest of the performance would go — tightly choreographed and perfectly executed, if a little sterile.
Beginning her set wearing an iridescent studded bodysuit and bedazzled boots, Gaga somersaulted through the air onto a stage straight out of Mad Max, performing Poker Face atop a barbaric metal tower. Surrounded by caped dancers, she segued into a theatrical take on Born This Way, complete with a crotch grab straight from Michael Jackson’s own 1993 halftime show.
The NFL put Roman numerals on break last year to avoid the “L” for losers. But why does the #SuperBowl even use Roman numerals ?
Going Gaga
Music City was the first stop on Lady Gaga’s “Dive Bar Tour” – a series of pop-up concerts in humble venues across the country as she promotes her upcoming album “Joanne.”Sweet, sweet victory. The Denver Broncos celebrate after defeating the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50.
