Taylor Momsen Talks Material Girl

Alex — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:04:53 +0000

Taylor Momsen was recently revealed as the face for the upcoming fashion line from Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon. The former ‘Gossip Girl’ actress turned lead singer of a punk rock band said “I’m psyched to be the face of Material Girl! For one, it’s Madonna so you know it’s gonna be cool and working with Madonna and Lola has been an unbelievable experience. They have such great sense of style, each brought their personal touch to the styling for the campaign.” The line will launch exclusively in Macy’s stores across the country and on Macys.com on August 3.

Katy Perry Talks Sexuality and Religion

Alex — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:20:15 +0000

Katy Perry recently had an interview with UK’s Star magazine. The pop singer talked a bit about sexuality and religion saying “It does not matter if it’s Madonna or my boyfriend doing it – if you put sexuality and religion in the same bottle and try to shake it up, it’s not cool.” Perhaps it’s this same opinion why Katy recently unleashed a tirade on Lady Gaga and her ‘Alejandro’ video where the princess of pop was seen swallowing a rosary. If you’ve been living under a rock your whole life and just recently came out from under it, Katy’s dad is actually a pastor. Go figure.

Glee Gets Madonna Sequel

Alex — Fri, 21 May 2010 22:27:29 +0000

Ryan Murphy has just confirmed that the producers of ‘Glee’ will be doing a sequel to their smash hit episode ‘The Power of Madonna’. And guess what? They might even get the Queen of Pop to make an appearance! Ryan said “I can’t say. But she’s sort of the muse of our show. She loves the show and has supported it. She gets that the show is about arts education and so she’s very supportive about that.” I can’t wait for it! I wonder what Madonna songs the cast would sing this time around. And of course I’m expecting another album from them.

Madonna Auction Halted

Alex — Mon, 10 May 2010 18:45:55 +0000

As it was previously reported, Madonna�s private journal went up for auction � or at the very least, they used to be. The auction has come to a halt last Monday as the Queen of Pop�s rep convinced eBay that the items rightfully belonged to the singer. The seller is pretty pissed at that. He still claims that the 12 journals, photos and address books are his. He was expecting to rake in at least $2.5 million from the auction. How can he claim that when the previous owner, a former assistant to Madonna, spoke out to not bid on the items? It goes to show you not to mess with Madonna!

Madonna on eBay

alan — Tue, 04 May 2010 18:52:46 +0000

An eBay seller is claiming to have a boatload of Madonna�s personal items, including journals from 1988 to 1992, an address book with famous contacts like Antonio Banderas, Dennis Hopper, Lenny Kravitz, Matt Damon, John Malkovich, Oliver Stone and Al Pacino, as well as personal family pictures. The set, which is now being sold on eBay, is said to have belonged to the Queen of Pop�s personal assistant Melissa Crowe, who worked for the singer from 1987 to 1996. There�s no word yet on how the seller obtained the items but Melissa has told a fan site that she wants the items back and tells fans to not bid on the items. I can only imagine how juicy those journals are.

Madonna is Back in Malawi

Alex — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:43:21 +0000

Madonna has returned to Malawi to oversee the first steps toward the construction of her Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. The Queen of Pop will even have the esteemed honor or laying down the first brick on the school. The singer also spent some time at the Millennium Village, a United Nations initiative in the central border district west of Lilongwe. I wonder if she brought David and Mercy along for the trip to meet with their families. Let�s hope that the school is all that she gets herself into and not another adoption. I�m all for her helping others but let the other kids grow up a little first, yeah?

Jason Derulo to Work with Madonna

Alex — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:51:13 +0000

Up and coming singer Jason Derulo, who just finished a stint on tour with Lady Gaga, is on his way into the studio to work with none other than the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna! The R&B singer said �Lady Gaga’s as awesome offstage as she is on stage. She actually said something which was really, really cool. She looked me in my eyes and said, �Jason, I’ve worked with a lot of talented people, I’ve seen a lot of talented people, but you’re special. You’re star.� That meant a lot coming from her. I’m about to work with Madonna, and I�ve been watching her for years. I would love to be a part of another reinvention. She�s been able to reinvent herself time and time again. I�ll probably be part of that.� I can�t wait to hear what they come up with.

Lady Gaga Talks Madonna

Alex — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:25:06 +0000

Lady Gaga recently spoke to UK�s OK magazine about the comparisons between her and the Queen of Pop Madonna. The record-breaking singer said �It’s funny when people say they see a lot of Madonna in me. I just feel so flattered because I love her and I am just her biggest fan. She is very strong. I love the way she does interviews -you know you won’t get anything past her.� I actually think that Lady Gaga is this generation�s Madonna. She�s going to be the one that everyone still knows of and still has a career going at the age of 50. Heck, she may even reach Cher status!

Madonna parties with Jesus Luz AND Guy Ritchie

Alex — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:10:50 +0000

Madonna was spotted making out with rumoured ex Jesus Luz – before burying the hatchet with ex-husband Guy Ritchie at the same party, according to U.S. reports.

In what would have been a dizzying night for Madonna watchers, the Material Girl was said to have spent time with the two most important men in her recent life at the after-party for the London premiere for A Single Man on Monday night.

An insider insists Madge made out with Jesus – then made up with Guy, spending time chatting with her ex-husband to the amazement of onlookers.

The insiders said that her actions made it very clear she was still with Jesus – at least on Monday.

“They were all over each other and were even kissing in front of everyone,” said an insider who snuck into the afterparty in Harry’s Bar. They looked like they were still very much an item.”

The onlooker said Jesus left right before the party ended, but Madonna stayed until the venue closed.

“Tom Ford was there, and she looked like she wanted to talk to him before she left for the evening,” the source says.

“But there’s no doubt she and Jesus were at the party together.”

Details on New Madonna Album

Alex — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:42:46 +0000

Madonna is reportedly back in the studio hard at work for the follow up to 2008�s �Hard Candy�. For the yet to be titled album, the Queen of Pop is bringing in a long list of collaborators including French DJ David Guetta, Fernando Garibay and Kanye West�s DJ A-Trak. The latter of the DJ�s talked about the collaboration saying �It’s my production, turned into song structure – halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to.� And with Pearl Jam�s producer Brendan O�Brien on board with the singer as well, it leads me to believe that there�s going to be some rock infused music as well.

Lady Gaga Covers 944

Alex — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:16:46 +0000

Lady Gaga is featured on the January 2010 cover of 944 magazine. The 23-year old pop singer impressed the magazine�s editor-in-chief Martine Bury so much that they could only pick her for the cover of their Vanguard issue. Martine said �Lady Gaga has liberated music and fashion the way David Bowie and other Brit Glam rockers did in the seventies – using costume, artifice and drama while bending gender norms and conventions. But she also one ups everyone with her phenomenal vocal talent and truly unique aesthetic. She�s way ahead of her time and the only universal artist to truly break ground and provoke thought since Madonna.�

Madonna linked to Tiger Woods – through doctor

Alex — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:08:29 +0000

Madonna has been linked to shamed Tiger Woods – through their doctor.

Madge and golf superstar Woods were both patients of Canadian sports-medicine specialist Dr. Tony Galea, according to reports.

Dr. Galea was arrested in October after an associate was arrested at the US border with a bag containing human growth hormone.

HGH is banned in most sports leagues.

Dr. Galea was reportedly treated by Galea after a horse-riding accident in the Hamptons last year.

Woods was reportedly treated by Galea following his knee surgery, also last year.

“Information regarding Madonna’s doctors has never been available to me, but I knew that sooner or later, the names Madonna and Tiger would be in a sentence, and I’m delighted that it’s sooner,” said Madonna’s publicist Liz Rosenberg.

Madonna gets sued for loud music

Alex — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:05:28 +0000

It looks like the superstar�s profession is finally catching up with her. One of Madonna�s neighbours from New York is suing her because of frequent loud music and dance sessions. It seems that all of Madonna�s neighbours are bothered by the fact that she�s using her appartment as a rehearsals studio and she has previously been threatened with eviction. Madonna has probably already thought of a sollution for this one. She�s most likely going to bring her boyfriend by much more often� but of course, that�s no guarantee that the decibel level will get any lower than it is now.

Madonna is Retarded

Alex — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:16:12 +0000

Guy Ritchie is clearly trying to get himself some attention as he has brought up his ex-wife Madonna. In a recent interview for Esquire Magazine, the director starts off with some much deserved praise for the Queen of Pop, saying �Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any twenty-three-year-old, she’ll outwork them, out-dance them, outperform them. The woman is broad.� But then Guy goes and ruins that by going on about his love for the singer saying �I still love her. But she’s retarded, too.� I would get if he still harbors some resentment but couldn�t he find a more suitable or mature adjective to describe her?

Madonna on SNL

Alex — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:01:50 +0000

Reports are saying that Madonna will be making a return to Saturday Night Live some time this season. The Queen of Pop is apparently set to make her return after 16 years and word has it that she�s also likely to be performing. However, execs of the show are trying to have her do both � perform and host, that is. I think that the singer should do it all! I just hope that she doesn�t give current boy toy Jesus Luz any cameos unless he�s shirtless and he doesn�t talk at all. However, I do welcome cameos from her daughter Lourdes and her son Rocco.

Madonna Talks Michael Jackson

Alex — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 23:00:00 +0000

Madonna was at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards which were held at New York City�s Radio City Music Hall last Sunday. The 51-year old singer spoke during the Michael Jackson tribute at the beginning of the show and even introduced for Janet Jackson�s performance. The Queen of Pop spoke about her love of Michael and the things that were parallel in their lives. She said that the late singer was �so unique, so original, so rare. He was a king.� I only have one comment for Madonna though. When talking about someone you�re supposed to be paying a tribute to, I don�t think talking about yourself more is an appropriate thing to do.
