HAWT; Who is the most desirable woman of 2012?

Nobody fills out a dress like Sofia Vergara ... so it's no surprise that the almost cartoonishly curvy "Modern Family" actress is the top hottie on AskMen's 11th Annual "Top 99 Most Desirable Women" list.

What happened to last year's winner, Blake Lively? The "Gossip Girl" is not even in the top nine this year, slipping down to the lowly #31 spot.

In fact, the top nine ladies may surprise you in more ways than one. For starters, who the heck is the #2 spot-holder, Kate Upton? Rooney Mara is pretty, but she needs to smile more ... and eat a sandwich. And we love Nicki Minaj, but is she really the fifth most desirable woman in the world?

From Sofia to Nicki to ninth place-holder Rihanna, let us know: Who is the most desirable woman of 2012?

MIA confirms appearance with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at Super Bowl halftime show

MIA has confirmed that she will be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at the halftime show at the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis on February 5.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on his BBC Radio 1 show this evening (January 30), the UK rapper and singer said of the iconic American football event's musical interlude: "Yes, I'm going to the Super Bowl… I'm gonna be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj... If you're gonna go to the Super Bowl, you might as well go with America's biggest female icons."

MIA and Minaj both feature on Madonna's forthcoming single, 'Give Me All Your Luvin', which is set for release on February 3. It's the first single to be taken from Madonna's forthcoming album, 'MDNA', which is out on March 26 through Interscope Records.
 During the interview, MIA also spoke about her next solo album, saying that she is working on it with "European producers" and that she wants it to be released in the summer. "I want it to be a summer thing", she said, "because it's a summer record."
 MIA's brand new single 'Bad Girls' debuted on BBC Radio 1 today (January 30). It was recorded in Miami with producer Danja, who has also worked with the likes of Madonna and Nelly Furtado. The song's video will be released on February 3.

'Bad Girls' is the first track to be taken from the singer's as yet untitled fourth album. It is MIA's first album for new label Mercury Records after she left XL Recordings at the completion of her contract. MIA's fourth album, which is the follow-up to her 2010 record 'Maya', is rumoured to feature contributions from Swizz Beatz, Cataracs and Chris Brown.

First Batch of 54th Grammy Awards Performers Announced

Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Foo Fighters, Nicki Minaj, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson are officially announced as performers at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. For Minaj and Aldean, this would their first time performing on the Grammys stage. Minaj was also the first artist announced as this year's performer.

Aldean and Clarkson, meanwhile, were announced as joint performers, most likely playing their duet "Don't You Wanna Stay" which is nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. More performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks leading to the February 12 ceremony.

There's a speculation that Adele is going to open the show, but since she recently got a throat surgery, it will depend on her doctor's permission. She reportedly is waiting until early next month to find out whether she is ready to sing in pubic again.

It is also yet known whether biggest nominee this year, Kanye West, will be part of the performers line-up. Traditionally, The Recording Academy would invite the person of the night to show off on the stage.

The Grammy Awards, which takes place in Los Angeles, will air live on CBS at 8 P.M. EST on February 12.
