As the world waits on edge to see what London has come up with for the Opening Ceremony on Friday, it's actually the Closing Ceremony that has garnered plenty of headlines today, all thanks to a little zig-a-zig-ah. 

We've all had that fantasy, right? Well, we get to live it every Saturday night, because we are always the belles of the ball when we hit the town (don't hate, bitches). But similar to the Facebook and Twitter explosion of false reports about Prop 8 being overturned in California late last Thursday and through this weekend, a new headline has been making the rounds as it's being spread throughout the blogosphere, Twittersphere and Facebooksphere. And this one has many calling foul.

Hail Mary! (Which we think is also a play from foothockey or netbase or whatever it's called.) Reports from trusted sources (including USA Today) indicate Madonna will be the halftime act during this season's Super Bowl! (Details follow.)

Former SNL star (I take back all my laughs!) Victoria Jackson has once again found work and relevance after calling last week's Glee kiss between Kurt & Blaine "sickening," you know, because of the Bible. Watch a video of the former actress bringing a healthy dose of the crazy to HLN's Showbiz Tonight on Monday after the jump. 

Remember the days of car giveaways and desserts being flown in from exotic locations? Well, be it the economy or America’s ever-expanding waistline, Oprah has put the kabosh on her legendary “favorite things” episode this year!

Not that we actually ever got some of the giveaways, but the audience reactions were worth it. Despite “favorite things” being the highest-rated episode for Oprah annually since 2002, a Harpo staff member told All Headline News that there are no plans for the show this year, and no reason for the cancelation was given. Thankfully, though, CNN is reporting the show may be back next season for one final curtain call.

Well, we at Instinct won’t leave you hanging. Not only do we have a huge gift guide...

Friday just got a little more TGIF.

The cuties at D-Listed made my day with the discover of what could possibly be the gayest news headline ever (sorry, Clay Aiken):

"Pink-Clad Pooch Stolen from Gay Bar by Man With Britney Spears Tattoo"

Every inch of that headline makes me nearly explode into a glittery cloud of unicorns, rainbow pixie dust and disco balls. (Oh, and in case the headline didn't grab your gayttention, the chihuahua's name is Hudson Hayword Hemingway.)

I mean, this is why we're in the journalism biz after all.
