Southern Univ.'s Dancing Dolls featured in Madonna's Halftime Show

Performers kept secret until showtime

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Dancing Dolls from Southern University in Baton Rouge added additional flair and made Madonna look good!

The ladies were part of her Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show performance thanks to a YouTube video.  Sources said this is how the "Material Girl" discovered them.

Southern University officials said they had to stay quiet about the invite because of a contract with the NFL.  Madonna's special guest performers LMFAO, Nikki Minaj, M.I.A., Cee Lo Green and the cast of Cirque du Soileil's La Nouba were also kept under wraps by the NFL until showtime.

Sources also said the dance team did get a check, but Southern officials will not say how much the Dancing Dolls and the University were paid.
