TODAY'S collection of pictures from around the world includes Madonna at a press conference for the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI halftime show in Indianapolis.
The queen of pop announced she will play three old songs and one new one - likely to be her latest single Give Me All Your Luvin' - at Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday.
"I am so excited to be here, incredibly nervous," Madonna said. "In over 25 years of performing, I have never worked so hard or been so scrupulous or detail-oriented – or freaked out as much."
We also have a picture of Mollie King from The Saturdays at the London College of Fashion MA Show 2012, held at Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
