SUPER BOWL-M.I.A. FINGER

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- There was no wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl halftime show. But there was a finger -- from M.I.A. She was one of the guest performers during Madonna's halftime show. M.I.A. flipped the bird as the camera came in close at the end of Madonna's new single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'." NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy is apologizing to fans. He says the obscene gesture was "completely inappropriate" and "very disappointing." The league blames NBC for a failure in their delay system. The network says the NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show. The network also apologizes for not being quick enough on the delay button.

SUPER BOWL ADS

UNDATED (AP) -- Sex sells and so do aging stars. Super Bowl commercials had plenty of both yesterday. GoDaddy showed racecar driver Danica Patrick and fitness expert Jillian Michaels body painting a nude woman. A spot for the clothing chain H-and-M had soccer star David Beckham in his undies. And online florist Teleflora and automaker Kia both used the same Victoria Secret's model in their commercials. Clint Eastwood was featured in a two-minute Chrysler spot. Acura had Jerry Seinfeld, the Soup Nazi and even Jay Leno in one spot. Honda relived "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" in a commercial with a middle-aged Matthew Broderick.

"THE GREY" - DALLAS ROBERTS

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's amazing that Dallas Roberts' family doesn't hate him. His go-to method of working himself up for emotional scenes is to think of what it would be like if his family died. He says in order to reach an emotional state, he's killed everyone he's ever loved "hundreds of times." He did it again for one of his scenes in "The Grey."

Dead behind the eyes." He says he has a "very addictive personality." He says he used to drink "a lot" every night. He says he has since sobered up.

MEL GIBSON MAY BE CALLED AS WITNESS IN DEPUTY TRIAL

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Mel Gibson may be called as a witness in the trial aimed at determining if a deputy was discriminated against after arresting Gibson for drunken driving. Deputy James Mee says he was discriminated against because he's Jewish. He says his superiors forced him to cut out Gibson's anti-Semitic remarks from his report. He also says he was ostracized and lost opportunities for promotion.
