Today's news you might've missed:

• SBNation.com's reporting that Madonna will perform during the next Super Bowl halftime show, but her rep is a little more cautious, telling CNN that there's "nothing to confirm at this time." Fun fact from CNN senior entertainment producer Denise Quan: A female solo artist has not headlined the Super Bowl's halftime show since 2004, when Janet Jackson had that "wardrobe malfunction." The only other female artist to grace the halftime stage (as part of a group) since 2004 was Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas earlier this year.
• We knew Tupac had a wealth of posthumous material, but we weren't expecting a sex tape. Rumors suggest that there's footage of a 1991 encounter with the rapper...who apparently showed just how well he can "multitask." [TMZ]
• Russell Brand, comedian and Katy Perry's husband, was just J/K'ing about not being allowed into Canada, guys. He tweeted that Canadian officials weren't letting him into the country on Saturday, when in reality, he hadn't left California. Now you have to apologize to the Canadians you cursed in his honor. [The Hollywood Reporter]
• Rapunzel, as we like to say, is having "a moment." The Disney character already served as inspiration for last year's lauded family film "Tangled," and now she's been honored as the 10th character to be added to the Disney Princess line. There was a celebration at London's Kensington Palace in her honor - no, seriously. [Disney]
• We already know Taylor Swift has some solid MC skills, so it's not too surprising that she did another rap rendition at a recent Atlanta concert. In a hometown touch, a recently freed T.I. was available to join her. [Radar Online]

Kanye West’s highly anticipated fashion line has finally made its debut, and Fashionista.com reports that it was not exactly a smashing success.

The rapper showed his collection during Paris Fashion Week, and fashion critics began to post unimpressed remarks even as the first models were going down the runway.

A pack of celebrity pals and fashion heavyweights showed up for the Saturday night show, including Anna Wintour, Jared Leto, Lindsay Lohan, Ciara and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and the event was certainly “monumental,” as Ciara tweeted.

Actresses Tia and Tamera Mowry's hit Style Network reality show, "Tia & Tamera," has been renewed for a second season.

Best known for their '90s sitcom "Sister, Sister," (TGIF lineup, anyone?) the identical twins are now 33-years-old. Tamera, who was born two minutes before Tia, recently married Fox News correspondent Adam Housley. Tia was Tamera's very pregnant maid of honor, and "The Game" actress - who wed actor Cory Hardrict back in 2008 - gave birth to son Cree in June.

Tia and Tamera are still acting, and they also run their own production company, Twilight Productions (no affiliation with Edward Cullen and/or Bella Swan). CNN spoke to Tamera Mowry about acting, twin sisterhood, married life and the realities of having a reality show.

A new tell-all book by Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis has been excerpted by U.K. paper the Daily Mail, People reports, and it sounds like it's a doozy.

"Martha does everything better! You can't win!" Alexis, 46, writes of mom Martha, 70, in “Whateverland: Learning to Live Here.”

The scathing tome comes as no surprise, considering Alexis has made a career of mocking her mother on the show “Whatever, Martha.”

George Clooney told Parade magazine that "Ides of March" was held off until "people were cynical" about politics once again, and he could not have picked a better time.

Clooney plays Democratic presidential candidate Mike Morris in the film, which is based off Beau Willimon’s 2008 play "Farragut North." The movie revolves around Morris, his idealistic campaign press secretary Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling), and the more realistic campaign manager Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

In the clip above, the trio debate conceding a loss in Ohio and blaming it "on the Republicans playing games." Hoffman's character keeps his eye on the prize, telling Clooney's candidate that he either takes an endorsement or anticipates losing out.

Morris, however, says he's already sworn he wasn't going to make those kind of deals. But as we all know, the game of politics can make one change his mind, although in the clip it doesn't look like Clooney's Morris will bend.

"Ides of March" opens Friday.

"X-Men" star James Marsden and wife Lisa Linde are headed for splitsville. After 11 years of marriage, actress Linde has filed for divorce, CNN has confirmed.

According to People magazine, Linde cited irreconcilable differences when she filed the paperwork a week ago. She's seeking spousal support as well as joint physical and legal custody of the couple's two children.

Marsden's rep tells CNN that the move was "a mutual decision," adding that the pair "are committed to raising their kids together and remain great friends.”

What could be more rock 'n’ roll than tiny dog T-shirts? Well, a lot of things, probably, but don’t tell Bret Michaels. The Poison frontman is making pet clothes for PetSmart, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"As a dedicated pet owner myself, this is a natural partnership for me, and I can't wait to unveil the collection,” said Michaels, 48, who won “Celebrity Apprentice 3” last year. “I know my own pets rock, and I wanted to design a line of pet products every bit as fun and cool as they are."

The line will include dog beds, pet clothing, bowls, collars and leashes. (We’re assuming bandanas and tiny cowboy hats can't be far behind.)

If we learned anything from last night’s premiere, it’s that the path to success will be littered with Neanderthals, a Japanese fetish dance performance and cigars laced with angel dust.

Yeah, I didn’t see much of this coming, but that made season 2's opener of "How to Make It in America" that much more memorable.

So, let’s catch up with Ben (Bryan Greenberg) and Cam (Victor Rusk):
