Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told reporters outside the Beverly Hilton that Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. in her room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Her body remained there and Beverly Hills detectives were investigating.

“There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent at this time,” Rosen said.

Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the cause of her death was unknown.

Rosen said police received a 911 call from hotel security about Houston at 3:43 p.m. Saturday. Paramedics who were already at the hotel because of a Grammy party unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate the singer, he said.

Beverly Hills Police Department later issued a statement:”"Whitney Houston was pronounced dead that the scene by members of her entourage which included friends, co-workers, and family. Ms. Houston’s daughter and mother were notified of here death.”

The statement also added that “the investigation is currently being conducted” and that “there is no additional information at this time.”

“The actual cause of death will be determined by the L.A. Co. Coroner’s Office,” it said.

Houston’s death came on the eve of music’s biggest night — the Grammy Awards. It’s a showcase where she once reigned, and her death was sure to cast a heavy pall on Sunday’s ceremony.

Her longtime mentor Clive Davis was to hold his annual concert and dinner Saturday, and a representative of the show said it would proceed.

Houston was supposed to appear at the gala, and Davis had told The Associated Press that she would perhaps perform: “It’s her favorite night of the year … (so) who knows by the end of the evening,” he said.

Producer Jimmy Jam, who had worked with Houston, said he anticipated the evening would become a tribute to her, and he expected there to be one at the Grammys as well.

Grammy Awards Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich tells CBS News the music industry will honor Houston’s life and career during the show that airs on CBS Sunday evening.  Singer Jennifer Hudson will do a tribute to Houston by singing her songs during the Grammys.

Houston had been at rehearsals for the show Thursday, coaching singers Brandy and Monica, according to a person who was at the event but was not authorized to speak publicly about it. The person said Houston looked disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath.

Two days ago, she performed at a pre-Grammy party with singer Kelly Price. Singer Kenny Lattimore hosted the event, and said Houston sang the gospel classic “Jesus Loves Me” with Price, her voice registering softly, not with the same power it had at its height.

Lattimore said Houston was gregarious and was in a good mood, surrounded by friends and family, including daughter Bobbi Kristina.

“She just seemed like she was having a great night that night,” said Lattimore, who said he was in shock over her death.

“I just can’t talk about it now,” Houston’s godmother, Aretha Franklin, said in a short statement. “It’s so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen.”

The Rev. Al Sharpton said he would call for a national prayer Sunday morning during a service at Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles.

“The morning of the Grammys, the world should pause and pray for the memory of a gifted songbird,” Sharpton said in a written statement.

In a statement, Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow said Houston “was one of the world’s greatest pop singers of all time who leaves behind a robust musical soundtrack spanning the past three decades.”

“Her powerful voice graced many memorable and award-winning songs,” Portnow said. “A light has been dimmed in our music community today, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, fans and all who have been touched by her beautiful voice.”

At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music industry. From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s best-selling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen.

Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she starred in hits like “The Bodyguard” and “Waiting to Exhale.”

She had the perfect voice and the perfect image: a gorgeous singer who had sex appeal but was never overtly sexual, who maintained perfect poise.

She influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey, who when she first came out sounded so much like Houston that many thought it was Houston.

But by the end of her career, Houston became a stunning cautionary tale of the toll of drug use. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances. She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her once pristine voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she had during her prime.

“The biggest devil is me. I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an infamous 2002 interview with then-husband Brown by her side.

It was a tragic fall for a superstar who was one of the top-selling artists in pop music history, with more than 55 million records sold in the United States alone.

She seemed to be born into greatness. She was the daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston, the cousin of 1960s pop diva Dionne Warwick and the goddaughter of Aretha Franklin.

Houston first started singing in the church as a child. In her teens, she sang backup for Chaka Khan, Jermaine Jackson and others, in addition to modeling. It was around that time when music mogul Clive Davis first heard Houston perform.

“The time that I first saw her singing in her mother’s act in a club … it was such a stunning impact,” Davis told “Good Morning America.”

“To hear this young girl breathe such fire into this song. I mean, it really sent the proverbial tingles up my spine,” he added.

Before long, the rest of the country would feel it, too. Houston made her album debut in 1985 with “Whitney Houston,” which sold millions and spawned hit after hit. “Saving All My Love for You” brought her her first Grammy, for best female pop vocal. “How Will I Know,” ”You Give Good Love” and “The Greatest Love of All” also became hit singles.

Another multiplatinum album, “Whitney,” came out in 1987 and included hits like “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”

The New York Times wrote that Houston “possesses one of her generation’s most powerful gospel-trained voices, but she eschews many of the churchier mannerisms of her forerunners. She uses ornamental gospel phrasing only sparingly, and instead of projecting an earthy, tearful vulnerability, communicates cool self-assurance and strength, building pop ballads to majestic, sustained peaks of intensity.”

Her decision not to follow the more soulful inflections of singers like Franklin drew criticism by some who saw her as playing down her black roots to go pop and reach white audiences. The criticism would become a constant refrain through much of her career. She was even booed during the “Soul Train Awards” in 1989.

“Sometimes it gets down to that, you know?” she told Katie Couric in 1996. “You’re not black enough for them. I don’t know. You’re not R&B enough. You’re very pop. The white audience has taken you away from them.”

Some saw her 1992 marriage to former New Edition member and soul crooner Bobby Brown as an attempt to refute those critics. It seemed to be an odd union; she was seen as pop’s pure princess while he had a bad-boy image, and already had children of his own. (The couple had a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in 1993.) Over the years, he would be arrested several times, on charges ranging from DUI to failure to pay child support.

But Houston said their true personalities were not as far apart as people may have believed.

“When you love, you love. I mean, do you stop loving somebody because you have different images? You know, Bobby and I basically come from the same place,” she told Rolling Stone in 1993. “You see somebody, and you deal with their image, that’s their image. It’s part of them, it’s not the whole picture. I am not always in a sequined gown. I am nobody’s angel. I can get down and dirty. I can get raunchy.”

It would take several years, however, for the public to see that side of Houston. Her moving 1991 rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl, amid the first Gulf War, set a new standard and once again reaffirmed her as America’s sweetheart.

In 1992, she became a star in the acting world with “The Bodyguard.” Despite mixed reviews, the story of a singer (Houston) guarded by a former Secret Service agent (Kevin Costner) was an international success.

It also gave her perhaps her most memorable hit: a searing, stunning rendition of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” which sat atop the charts for weeks. It was Grammy’s record of the year and best female pop vocal, and the “Bodyguard” soundtrack was named album of the year.

She returned to the big screen in 1995-96 with “Waiting to Exhale” and “The Preacher’s Wife.” Both spawned soundtrack albums, and another hit studio album, “My Love Is Your Love,” in 1998, brought her a Grammy for best female R&B vocal for the cut “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay.”

But during these career and personal highs, Houston was using drugs. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2010, she said by the time “The Preacher’s Wife” was released, “(doing drugs) was an everyday thing. … I would do my work, but after I did my work, for a whole year or two, it was every day. … I wasn’t happy by that point in time. I was losing myself.”

In the interview, Houston blamed her rocky marriage to Brown, which included a charge of domestic abuse against Brown in 1993. They divorced in 2007.

Houston would go to rehab twice before she would declare herself drug-free to Winfrey in 2010. But in the interim, there were missed concert dates, a stop at an airport due to drugs, and public meltdowns.

She was so startlingly thin during a 2001 Michael Jackson tribute concert that rumors spread she had died the next day. Her crude behavior and jittery appearance on Brown’s reality show, “Being Bobby Brown,” was an example of her sad decline. Her Sawyer interview, where she declared “crack is whack,” was often parodied. She dropped out of the spotlight for a few years.

Houston staged what seemed to be a successful comeback with the 2009 album “I Look To You.” The album debuted on the top of the charts, and would eventually go platinum.

Things soon fell apart. A concert to promote the album on “Good Morning America” went awry as Houston’s voice sounded ragged and off-key. She blamed an interview with Winfrey for straining her voice.

A world tour launched overseas, however, only confirmed suspicions that Houston had lost her treasured gift, as she failed to hit notes and left many fans unimpressed; some walked out. Canceled concert dates raised speculation that she may have been abusing drugs, but she denied those claims and said she was in great shape, blaming illness for cancellations.

Adkins sang the national anthem before the top-ranked Baylor women played Texas A&M on Saturday. The Lady Bears are coached by Kim Mulkey, who was a pigtailed point guard for national champion Louisiana Tech when Adkins was a freshman walk-on football player there.

“Now my secret’s out that I’ve had crush on her for 30 years,” Adkins said before the game

When doing a cover version of the song “One in a Million” during a concert last year, Adkins relayed the story of his college crush. After Mulkey’s sister later attended one of his concerts, she got him on the phone with Mulkey and they struck up a friendship.

They were formally introduced face-to-face for the first time before Saturday’s game.

“She had long braided pigtails and she was phenomenal,” Adkins recalled of their college days. “All the jocks ate at the training table and that’s where I would see her, but she was a rock star and I couldn’t talk to her.”

Adkins said Mulkey didn’t even know who he was when they were at Louisiana Tech.

On Saturday, she escorted Adkins to midcourt, and he kissed her hand before Mulkey went back to the bench. He then performed the anthem a cappella with his deep voice.

When Mulkey was asked if she noticed Atkins when they were in school, the singer laughed and told her not to lie and say she did.

“I didn’t know him because he was some superstar football player, but what I did know, there were only two athletes who were ever that tall at Louisiana Tech, at that training table,” Mulkey said. “And it was Trace and Karl Malone. … So I knew, kind of, who he was. But not to the extent that I really paid attention.”

The Louisiana natives have both gone on to excel in their chosen professions, and have become big fans of each other.

Adkins first relayed his story about his crush after seeing Mulkey on the sideline when watching Baylor play in the NCAA tournament on television last year.

“It’s really funny how this has all worked out, and I never would have thought,” Adkins said. “Just when I said that that night on stage, it was just off the cuff and I was just telling a story, I never intended for it to blow up and turn into this.”

Just a few months ago, Glen Campbell told the world he was one of them.

Now, one of the world’s greatest guitarists and performers is trying to hold on to his memories. And he has memories that are the stuff of dreams.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The last 30 minutes of Khloe Kardashian Odom’s radio show on Thursday was essentially a promo for the upcoming season premiere of “Khloe & Lamar,” as the host offered some details about what viewers can expect to see this year.

Khloe was joined in the studio by Malika Haqq, a familiar face from the Kardashian reality shows. Malika is Khloe’s “best friend of 15 years” and a series regular. What can viewers expect to see from Malika when “Khloe & Lamar” debuts in 10 days? “The ins and outs of my relationship, me working on my career,” she said.

That relationship (with an unnamed guy) is most definitely going to be a talker throughout the entire season. “Some juicy soap opera s-h-i,” started Khloe, censoring herself for the radio listeners. “It’s pretty dramatic.”

“Once people see these episodes, and see how shady and gross this guy is,” continued a very upset Khloe. “It’s crazy. And the guy should be ashamed of himself.” The more these friends talked about that failed relationship, the more angered Khloe would get.

But a more peaceful Malika took the higher road. “I wish him the very best in whatever he decides with his life,” she said.

Earlier this week, Khloe offered more details about the upcoming season, which finds the reality star making her December move to Dallas, after basketball player husband Lamar was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks. “It’s a lot of unexpected twists and turns,” Khloe said on Monday.

The new season of “Khloe & Lamar” premieres February 19 on the E! Network.

This was Malika’s first visit to North Texas, and both gals agreed that Dallas is a great city and a fantastic place to live. “It is the nicest place you could possibly be,” Malika said. And when Khloe asked her BFF about moving to DFW, Malika coyly said, “Well, I’m here. Who knows what’ll happen?”

“Dallas is so genuinely, overwhelmingly nice,” Khloe gushed. She particularly enjoys all of the sweet and kind North Texans that she meets around town. “They just want to hug and touch on you, which I love.”

Khloe hosts an hour-long weekday radio show in Dallas. Thursday’s show also featured a brief interview with Nash Overstreet from Hot Chelle Rae. The band’s tour will be coming to the House of Blues in Dallas on March 28, after joining Taylor Swift in New Zealand and Australia.

Nash jokingly said that Khloe would be banned from the band’s Dallas show. “I just heard that you’re dangerous,” he said. “The rumor, there has to be something to it.”

Khloe admitted that the rumor was true. “My husband’s afraid of me,” she said.

WACO (AP) - Country singing star Trace Adkins says he’s had a crush on Baylor women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey ever since they both attended Louisiana Tech in the early 1980s.

Adkins has dedicated at least one song to the former Lady Techster star, but the former Louisiana Tech football player never approached her until recently.

Mulkey has invited Adkins to sing the national anthem before Saturday’s home game against Texas A&M.

Mulkey tells the Waco Tribune-Herald that she had invited him to sing once before — at the Baylor-Connecticut game in December. A schedule conflict got in the way of that gig, however.

Actress Kat Graham of "The Vampire Diaries" appears during The CW's portion of the 2009 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour at The Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa on August 4, 2009 in Pasadena, California. (credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - On her radio show Tuesday, Khloe Kardashian Odom chatted with Kat Graham, and if you don’t know her name yet, you probably will soon. Khloe accurately described the star as “more than a triple threat.” Graham is an actress, singer, songwriter, dancer – and she has one very special celebrity crush.

Fans of the supernatural may recognize Graham as Bonnie Bennett from The CW drama “The Vampire Diaries,” currently in its third season. “It’s kind of crazy because, when we shoot the show in the boonies of Georgia, you don’t really feel the magnitude of it,” she said.

The show has featured some of Graham’s music in the past, but the 22-year-old starlet is now working to expand her music career. Khloe spoke to Graham over the phone, as the burgeoning singer was “locked in a recording studio” in Atlanta. She just signed her first major recording contract with A&M Octone Records last week, and is busy prepping her first major-label single –“Put Your Graffiti on Me” – for release later this year.

Graham described the track as “upbeat industrial pop.” They are also producing a music video. “I think that it’s something the fans are really going to like,” she said.

Khloe asked how young star is able to juggle all of her career goals, and Graham made a comparison to the reality-star-turned-radio-host. “One of my favorite things about you is that you just kind of do whatever you feel like doing,” Graham told Khloe. “If I wake up in the morning and want to make a record, I make a record.”

“I just end up working hard on the projects I put my time into,” Graham added.

Graham’s similar work ethic must have gotten Khloe a little ramped up inside. “You are a hot vampire,” Khloe told her guest. “Let’s just suck each other’s blood.” But it’s actually another Kardashian that gets Graham’s blood boiling.

Khloe asked Graham about rumors that she has a crush on Rob Kardashian, Khloe’s little brother. “Yes, it’s totally true,” Graham admitted, getting a little embarrassed by the topic. “Black people don’t really blush, but I would be blushing if I did.”

Verizon and Coinstar Inc., Redbox’s parent company, said Monday that the service will be national and available to non-Verizon customers as well. It adds another dimension to Verizon’s quest to become a force in home entertainment, and it looks set to compete to some extent with the cable-TV services it already sells.

Unlike competing services from Amazon.com Inc. and Walmart Stores Inc., the new service will combine Internet delivery of movies with DVDs, the way Netflix does. Dish Network Corp. also offers a similar bundle through its Blockbuster subsidiary.

Specific details and pricing of the new plan weren’t announced.

Late last year, the companies were shopping around a $6-per-month offering that would give subscribers one DVD rental from Redbox per month as well as unlimited streaming of a certain selection of movies, according to a person briefed on the plan then. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It’s not known whether the plan has changed since then, though the price is likely to be less than the $16-a-month minimum that Netflix subscribers have to pay for a combined DVD-by-mail and streaming plan.

Although consumers would pay less, Redbox’s inventory is limited to what’s in its kiosks, compared with Netflix’s library of more than 100,000 discs, including more obscure fare. Redbox customers will also have to go in person to pick up a disc, which saves the company mailing costs.

Getting an extensive library of streaming content to rival Netflix’s 20,000-plus titles will be expensive. The rising cost for streaming rights is the main reason that Netflix raised its U.S. prices by as much as 60 percent last year in a move that triggered a customer backlash. At the end of 2011, Netflix had video licensing commitments totaling $3.9 billion worldwide over the next several years.

Verizon will handle the streaming negotiations, Coinstar CEO Paul Davis told analysts in a conference call held late Monday to discuss the company’s fourth-quarter earnings. He declined to answer questions seeking more details about how the joint subscription service might work, citing a desire to keep things under wraps for competitive reasons. The streaming service won’t be available until the final half of this year.

Redbox, whose DVD rental kiosks are located in more than 29,000 stores, has been looking to expand into online streaming for more than a year. Its business so far has revolved around renting DVDs for as little as $1.20 per day. Along the way, Redbox says it has accumulated about 36 million email addresses from DVD and video-game renters — information that could be used to promote the new streaming service.

Verizon has its own cable-TV service, called FiOS, in some areas. Its Verizon Wireless subsidiary has also signed a deal to sell service from Comcast Corp. and other cable TV companies in its stores. The cable-TV experience has helped Verizon establish business relationships with Hollywood studios and other content producers, something that could be an advantage in the negotiations for streaming rights.

With the Redbox venture, Verizon is breaking ranks with the cable and satellite industry, which makes its own video streaming services available only to people who also subscribe to its traditional TV feeds. They don’t want households switching to Internet-only services, which are cheaper. Netflix Inc. charges $8 per month for its streaming-only plan, for instance, while the average monthly cable bill is more than $70.

“We’ve made a conscious decision to innovate and get involved with this market because it’s legitimate and growing, and we think the partnership with Redbox gives us huge upside,” said Bob Mudge, president of Verizon’s consumer business.

Verizon’s own FiOS business is relatively small, with 4.2 million subscribers, making it the seventh-largest provider of TV signals to U.S. homes. Meanwhile, its landline phone business is shrinking, so it needs other avenues for growth. Its wireless arm is growing, but it owns only 55 percent of that venture. (Vodafone Group PLC of Britain owns the rest.)

Netflix, which is based in Los Gatos, Calif., ended last year with 24.4 million U.S. subscribers. About 8.4 million of those customers pay for Internet streaming and Netflix’s DVD-by-mail rental service.

Verizon and Coinstar said the service is intended to give subscribers access to DVD and Blu-ray discs as well as streaming movies starting in the second half of the year. Subscribers might visit the site to find that the movie they want isn’t available for streaming, but is available at a Redbox kiosk nearby, Coinstar’s Davis said.

To get people to try the service, Verizon and Redbox look set to undercut Netflix’s cheapest DVD and streaming plan of $16 per month, which is 60 percent higher than its $10 monthly rate before prices went up in September.

New York-based Verizon Communications will own 65 percent of the unnamed venture, with Bellevue, Wash.,-based Coinstar owning the rest. Redbox is contributing an initial $14 million to the venture, according to a regulatory filing. It did not say how much Verizon would contribute. The filing indicated the two companies may be called upon to contribute a combined $450 million to the venture — another indication that it will have to pay steep licensing fees.

Coinstar’s stock gained 91 cents, or 1.8 percent, to close Monday at $50.56. The stock then soared more than 16 percent in extended trading late Monday after the company reported fourth-quarter results that indicated Redbox may be picking up some of the Netflix customers who have canceled their DVD rental plans in recent months.

Verizon shares edged up 30 cents to $38.14. After initially falling on the news, Netflix shares gained $2.82, or 2.2 percent, to $129.25.

Netflix already has a couple of powerful competitors with video streaming services. Amazon.com provides a library of movies and TV shows to subscribers to its Amazon Prime shipping services. Wal-Mart, the world’s biggest retailer, has a streaming service called Vudu. Neither offers DVD rentals.

Netflix, though, isn’t devoting much attention to its DVD rental service because it’s convinced the discs are destined to become obsolete. Netflix lost 2.8 million DVD subscribers in the final three months of last year alone.

Netflix is hoping to differentiate itself from its rivals with a larger library that is just now starting to include content that hasn’t been available anywhere else. The company’s streaming library consists largely of older movie shows and TV episodes from past seasons. Netflix’s first original TV series, an eight-episode drama called “Lilyhammer,” debuted Monday. Other original TV series are coming in an attempt to make Netflix more competitive with Time Warner Inc.’s pay-TV channel HBO.

The additional competition in Internet streaming comes as Netflix recovers from the customers losses it absorbed last year following its price increase and a botched plan to spin off its DVD service into a separate website.

Redbox now claims to be the biggest DVD rental service in the country.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - After spending five full days interviewing reality television stars, Khloe Kardashian Odom started the second week of her Dallas radio show without a single one in the studio. Well, that is unless you count the host herself. Khloe’s celebrity guest on Monday was the band Big Time Rush.

For those without tweens controlling the remote, Big Time Rush is a boy band that stars in a Nickelodeon series by the same name. The group has released two albums and are set to start filming the show’s third season later this year.

The four guys called into Khloe’s show from Germany, where they are promoting the new album, which was just released overseas. They are now world travelers, but one of them, Logan (third from the left in the above photo), was actually born and raised in North Richland Hills. “I used to live in Dallas,” the pop star told Khloe, before the two agreed that North Texans are the nicest people on the planet.

The band’s tour kicks off on February 17 in Las Vegas – which all four guys were quick to note “could be good or bad” depending on your perspective. Hopefully the band doesn’t have too much fun before taking the stage. The closest that the tour will come to DFW is a stop in Houston.

BTR was shocked to hear that Khloe has actually watched an episode of their show, and proceeded to invite her on for a guest appearance, if she was interested. “I know you’re a busy lady but, if you want, you’re more than welcome to come on the show,” one of them said.

A possible storyline was even suggested – one of band members wants Khloe to play his on-screen girlfriend. “You’re going to have to talk to Lamar,” Khloe said jokingly. “You talk to seven-foot Lamar.”

Khloe moved to the Dallas area in December, after her basketball player husband Lamar Odom was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks. She now hosts a weekday radio show – dubbed “The Mix Up” – on Mix 102.9 in Dallas. The second season of her reality show – “Khloe & Lamar” – debuts February 19 on the E! Network.

When a caller asked about the upcoming season, Khloe offered a few teasing details. “It’s a lot of unexpected twists and turns,” she said. “This season was really stressful because we weren’t anticipating a trade.” Khloe said that viewers can expect an inside look at the recent NBA lockout, the stress that put on her husband and family, and “this fast move to Dallas, that happened in two days of finding out we’re moving.”

SANGER (CBSDFW.COM) - Country superstar Randy Travis is in trouble for allegedly being drunk in public.

Sanger police arrested Travis early Monday morning and charged him with public intoxication.

Sanger Police Chief Curtis Amyx said an officer first noticed a suspicious car. “At 12:04 a.m. a Sanger officer drove up to 708 S. 5^th Street, which is the First Baptist Church, and he noticed a vehicle parked in the parking lot.”

Travis was the only person inside the vehicle and reportedly had slurred speech. Chief Amyx said the officer then, “Noticed an open bottle of wine in the passenger side of the vehicle.”

The 52-year-old singer was booked in the Denton County Jail and has since been released.

Travis, who lives in nearby Tioga, is one of the biggest names in country music.

Police said they aren’t sure how the singer got to the church, but that there was no evidence of drunk driving.

INDIANAPOLIS (CBSDFW.COM) - All eyes (and ears) were on Burleson’s own “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson on Sunday night, when she took the field to sing the National Anthem at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, ahead of Super Bowl XLVI. Before the performance, she talked about her fears online. “I’m actually really nervous about singing,” she said. “Here’s hoping I nail it and don’t screw it up!”

She didn’t.

Unlike last year’s unfortunate rendition by Christina Aguilera in Arlington, the two-time Grammy Award winning Clarkson did not flub the lyrics, as she took the stage in a fitted black dress and bangs. After the game, she got online again to thank fans for their support. “Thank you everybody for all of the nice things you’re saying about my performance! I really appreciate it,” she said.

Clarkson boarded a plane after the game, heading back to her home state of Texas. Her latest tour comes to San Antonio on Monday night before reaching North Texas — Grand Prairie, to be specific — on Friday.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The NFL and a major television network are apologizing for another Super Bowl halftime show.

There was no wardrobe malfunction, nothing like that glimpse of Janet Jackson’s nipple eight years ago that caused an uproar and a government scrutiny. Instead, it was an extended middle finger from British singer M.I.A. during Sunday night’s performance of Madonna’s new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin.’”

In front of some 110 million viewers on NBC and uncounted others online, she flipped the bird and appeared to sing, “I don’t give a (expletive)” at one point, though it was hard to hear her clearly.

The NFL and NBC wasted little time in responding.

“The obscene gesture in the performance was completely inappropriate, very disappointing and we apologize to our fans,” said Brian McCarthy, spokesman for the NFL, which produced Madonna’s halftime show.

The risque moment came during the biggest TV event of the year. The screen briefly went blurred after M.I.A.’s gesture in what was a late attempt — by less than a second — to cut out the camera shot.

“The NFL hired the talent and produced the halftime show,” NBC spokesman Christopher McCloskey said. “Our system was late to obscure the inappropriate gesture and we apologize to our viewers.”

Jackson’s infamous oops during the 2004 halftime show raised a storm of controversy and put CBS in hot water with the Federal Communications Commission amid questions about the responsibility of TV networks to police their airwaves.

Justin Timberlake ripped off Jackson’s bustier, exposing her breast for nine-sixteenths of a second, a moment for which CBS was fined $550,000 by the FCC. The network challenged the fine and last fall, a federal appeals court ruled against the FCC despite an order from the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The three-judge panel reviewed three decades of FCC rulings and concluded the agency was changing its policy, without warning, by fining CBS for fleeting nudity.

This year’s game, in which the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 21-17, is expected to challenge last year’s record of being the most-watched U.S. TV event ever.

M.I.A. is best known for her 2007 hit “Paper Planes,” a Grammy nominee for record of the year that memorably features a sample of the Clash song, “Straight to Hell.” It was featured on the soundtrack to the movie “Slumdog Millionaire.”

After the incident, McCarthy said that M.I.A. had not done anything similar during rehearsals and the league had no reason to believe she would pull something like that during the actual show.

Madonna had admittedly been nervous about her performance, hoping to position herself as the queen of a new generation of pop stars with an opulent show and a sharp performance that mixed her new release with more familiar songs. She seemed like Roman royalty when muscle-bound men carried her extravagant throne across the football field to the stage for her opening song, “Vogue.”

Guests Cee Lo, Nicki Minaj and dance rockers LMFAO also appeared with Madonna. The singing and dancing on “Vogue” was smartly choreographed, as Madonna moved more deliberately — she is 53 — but still adroitly. She briefly appeared to stumble at one point while trying to make a step on the stage set, but recovered in time.

She let a tightrope walker make the more acrobatic moves during a performance of “Music.”

Madonna carried gold pompons for a performance of her frothy new single. Twitter was alight with questions about the vocals being lip synched or augmented by tapes, particularly during this song.

The best guest was clearly Cee Lo, who joined Madonna for the final song, “Like a Prayer.” They were joined by a robed chorus in the show’s most soaring performance. With a puff of white smoke, Madonna disappeared down a trapdoor in the stage, and lights on the field spelled out “World Peace.”

The performance was also carried live on SiriusXM Radio, giving Madonna the biggest single audience of her career. For all the elaborate choreography and flashy effects, the finger incident is the more likely headline from the event.

Earlier, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert offered some pregame patriotism. Shelton and Lambert did a twangy duet on “America the Beautiful” and Clarkson, in a simple black dress, sang “The Star Spangled Banner” without a hitch after last year’s performer, Christina Aguilera, flubbed a line.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Daniel Radcliffe is back onscreen in his first movie since the Harry Potter franchise.

There is some pointless Harry Potter trivia tied to this film though. Adrian Rawlins who played Harry Potter’s father in the films, starred in this movie when it originally came out in 1989. Yes, he played Daniel Radcliffe’s role.

That’s Janet McTeer playing crazy Mrs. Dailey in the film. Janet was just nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in “Albert Nobbs.”
