all about Madonna

from drownedmadonna : Anchor-woman Paula Zahn has just said that they would be doing a piece on Madonna on Friday regarding her belief in Kabbalah on CNN. They showed a clip of Impressive Instant as she was reading the teaser, and Paula commented that it didn't have anything to do with music or the clip being shown at that moment.
"People In The News" will be aired on CNN International (Europe) : Saturday (13:30 p.m. CET) and Sunday (13:30 p.m. CET)

Madonna's Tour Documentory "Re-Invented Process" is now listed on IMDB. The official release date is 22 May 2005 (Cannes Film Festival).

Pop stalwart Boy George has tempered his bitter feud with Madonna by confessing he's jealous of the Material Girl's standing as the number one gay icon.
The Karma Chameleon star infuriated Madonna last month when he slammed her for embracing the Kabbalah, the mystical offshoot of Judaism, claiming it preaches that homosexuality is a disease.
Madonna hit back, vehemently denying the Kabbalah is homophobic.
But rather than further fuel their war of words, openly homosexual George admits he's fascinated by Madonna's ever-changing image and outlook on life - and is a little jealous of her high position in gay culture.
He says, "It would be dishonest to say that there wasn't a degree of jealousy, not that it's something I lose sleep over. I don't think about her day and night.
"If someone like Madonna changes her morality and her stance on things people just accept it, whereas somebody else would be dragged over the coals for doing that. That amazes me and it is fascinating. She is very fascinating."

Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie were spotted on the streets of London Thursday night dressed as a nun and the pope for a kabbalah party to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Purim, which commemorates the day Queen Esther saved the Jewish people living in ancient Persia from extermination. "Yes, she was dressed as a nun and Guy was dressed as the pope," Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said. "Some Catholic groups are saying stuff, but Purim is a joyous holiday occasion. Madonna and Guy had a great time drinking and dancing. It's funny, because she said that she was happy that the pictures of her are out there because her father would be so proud. She said that when she was a girl she wanted to be a nun and she guesses that she's still a nun at heart." ...

Madonna and her film-maker husband Guy Ritchie have infuriated religious chiefs following their decision to attend a party dressed as a nun and the Pope respectively - at a time when Pope John Paul II is becoming increasingly frail.
Madonna and Ritchie celebrated the Jewish holiday of Purim by dressing up for a Kabbalah bash in London last Thursday - angering Catholic leaders.
America's Catholic League president William Donahue says, "It just goes to show you what a moral slug this man (Ritchie) is that he would get dressed up as the Pope at a time like this.
"We're quite disappointed. We Catholics thought we had finally gotten rid of the witch when she (Madonna) discovered Kabbalah."
However, Madonna's publicist says, "No disrespect was intended."

Pop queen Madonna has dashed the dreams of Desperate Housewives fans hoping she would make a cameo appearance - she is actually totally unaware of the hit show's existence.
Rumours that the Material Girl was keen to appear in the series have been proved false, and it seems the British-based icon is too preoccupied with her devotion to Kabbalah to watch TV.
Her spokesperson tells website The Scoop, "I can guarantee you that she's not even familiar with the show."

Most networks shy away from controversy, but MTV revels in it. Over the last 23 years, the channel has crafted a multitude of the most obnoxious, over-the-top (and occasionally inspiring) moments in pop culture history. Here's a definitive list of the landmark events that simultaneously defined MTV and America.

10. The Smooch Seen 'Round the World (2003)
In an utterly calculated moment of "shock TV," Madonna plants big, wet, tongue-tinged kisses on Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. The - media go wild, but for once nobody really seems to care - not even the Christian right. In the wake of this desperate plea for attention, all three see their careers plummet.

9. "Unplugged" (1989)
Umm, does anybody really want to hear Aerosmith rock out on acoustic guitars? Turns out the answer is, "Totally!" Everyone from Lauryn Hill to Eric Clapton to Duran Duran drops their amps, turntables and synthesizers and gets mellow. Unplugged albums become big business and some, like Nirvana's and Jay-Z's, become classics.

8. "Jackass" (2000)
Beavis and Butt-head come to life as Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O. No stunt is too dumb, too gross, too likely to cause bodily injury. Highlights include: "Blind Driver," "Beard of Leeches," "Jockstrap Rollerblading" and "Shark Hugs." A copycat teen, unfortunately, tries a home version of the "Human BBQ" and winds up in the burn ward.

7. "The Osbournes" (2002) & "Newlyweds" (2003)
Shaaaron! Being the Prince of Bleep-ing Darkness isn't easy. Turns out that incontinent pets, unruly adolescents and a badgering wife dominate Ozzy Osbourne's home life. But wobbly Ozzy's embarrassments have nothing on Jessica Simpson, who somehow succeeds by defining the term "dim bulb." Chicken of the Sea, anyone?

6. Live Aid (1985)
MTV devotes 16 straight hours to televising one of the most ambitious benefit concerts in history. With feeds from two continents, the channel features performances from enduring legends - such as Madonna, Sting with Phil Collins, Queen, Elton John - and the quickly forgotten - Adam Ant, Japan, the Hooters, REO Speedwagon.

5. "Total Request Live" (1998)
During the teen-pop revolution of the late '90s, "TRL" practically serves as a second home to Spears, Aguilera, Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. With its countdown of the top videos, the show is the engine that drives record-setting multiplatinum sales. Plus, it turns host Carson Daly into MTV's semi-official "nice guy."

4. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (1983)
After spending its first year ignoring black artists, MTV finally adds Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" to the rotation in 1982. But when John Landis directs a 14-minute, choreographed zombie dance for "Thriller," the video sets standards for creativity and production values. Widely considered the greatest music video ever.

3. "The Real World" (1992)
Who knew that Andre, Eric, Julie, Heather, Norm, Becky and Kevin would alter the course of television? The very first reality show kicks off here in NYC and establishes types that recur into the present,including: "angry young black man," "naive small-town white girl," "wanna-be musician" and "gay guy."

2. Boxers vs. Briefs (1992)
On the campaign trail, MTV News' Tabitha Soren hosts a Q&A with presidential candidate Bill Clinton and 200 MTV fans. Soren calls on Laetitia Thompson, who asks the now-infamous, "Mr. President ... is it boxers or briefs?" His answer: "Usually briefs." Suddenly, the youth vote seems to really matter - and so does MTV.

1. The "Virgin" - Madonna (1984)
Presaging the controversy she'd generate with her outrageous "Like a Prayer" and "Justify My Love" videos, Madonna creates a scandal at the first-ever Video Music Awards. With a crucifix around her neck, she writhes in a wedding dress, simulates sex and stimulates legions of religious conservatives to protest. With a single performance, Madonna gives MTV an indelible identity, and the modern, post-MTV era of pop begins.

Rapper-turned-actor Andre 3000 was so starstruck when Madonna paid an unexpected visit to the set of her husband Guy Ritchie's upcoming movie Revolver he was unable to continue filming.
The Outkast star - who has now turned his attention to achieving Hollywood stardom - only regained his composure after engaging Like A Virgin singer Madonna in conversation.
He says, "After I got over it, we sat and talked for awhile. She's cool, though, real cool."

(Never trust a rich American who says she loves England: it just means she likes our class system. Madonna married Guy Ritchie who is as posh as they come (his mother chaired Kensington & Chelsea Tories). She then became lady of the manor at Ashcombe House, an 18th-century pile with 1,200 acres in Wiltshire, and tried to keep the proles out by appealing against a right of way that ran through the estate.)

What do you get when you cross a former Material Girl with a fashion label that shouts out glam - a glam material girl? Well, not quite, but how about a chief executive with sophistication and fashion savvy?
Well, that's apparently what Madonna is trying to portray in the new ad campaign for Versace's spring/summer 2005. Or so says its creative director Donatella Versace in her exclusive e-mail interview with StarTwo.
"Madonna represents a modern executive woman who has great style and flair," says Donatella. Not only is she in control of her career but also of her "fierce" wardrobe.
"The advantage of using a celebrity like Madonna is that she becomes associated with our brand. This personification can in turn reinforce our brand image as well as the public perception. Her aesthetic image, style of life, values and what the celebrity communicates as a public person is capitalised and used towards the brand's advantage."
As for the ad campaigns, there is some confusion over what Madonna is supposed to represent. The theme is "women in the office" but what sort of woman is she? A secretary living beyond her means (hello, it's Versace - how many secretaries not kept by the boss can afford the items?) or a stylish woman in a managerial position? Also, which CEO has to lick an envelope while kneeling on the carpet (however plush the carpet is)?
Why, a CEO that is represented ironically (cue: Alanis Morissette's song), says Donatella. Hmm, right!
"The woman I have in mind when designing is one whose individuality and inner confidence shines on the outside. She is also sophisticated, sexy, smart and always dynamic and charismatic. The contemporary woman is not afraid to be a woman. She can still be powerful by keeping her femininity and sexiness."
This does seem to be what Madonna represents or has been trying to portray herself all this while. It is a match made in designer and advertising heaven. It seems a sure thing and they have after all seen it work before when Madonna first appeared 10 years ago for Versace in the 1995 campaign.
There is also some continuity as the photographer then, Mario Testino, is the photographer now. Testino was already a noted fashion photographer then but the Kabbalah-practising Madonna was the first to specifically request that he be used. So now he is a celebrity in his own right and, according to Donatella, the two were joking and laughing during the shoot (they are old friends, after all). In fact, reveals Donatella, it was at the launch of Crystal Noir (the new Versace women's fragrance) last October that Madonna had dinner with her and Testino and they broached the subject of the ad campaign and came out with the idea and Maddie agreed to appear on it.
The shoot was done in Westway Studio (which belongs to Testino) in London and it was completed in one day. It was reported that they wanted an office with lots of space but couldn't find any (tsk, tsk, "crampy" London?). Spaces like that are apparently plentiful in Los Angeles, so they resorted to building a mock-up in the studio.
Daughter Lourdes (apparently fondly known as Lola) paid Ma Madonna a visit on set in the afternoon. According to Donatella, she wanted to know what her mother was doing and the dutiful mother, erm, dutifully explained.
"She (Lourdes) is very nice; she already loves fashion and dresses. Madonna is very sweet with her children."
There were also some reports that Madonna complained about the cold and had to take breaks to do her Kabbalah thing. Nay, says Donatella. "We worked all day without having lunch. Madonna is very professional and wanted to check and overview every photo. She arrived perfectly on time and then we worked all day."
Sigh, where have all the divas gone?
After all, adds Donatella, she and Madonna go way back (13 years) and Maddie was also a friend of Donatella's late brother, Gianni. So, she says, there were no problems working with a good friend and it helped that they have worked together before.
"She's a great artiste, an incredible woman and a fantastic mother," affirms Donatella. When asked what Madonna would say about her, she replies: "Hopefully the same."
Still, friendship is not cheap as the grapevine has conjectured that Madonna was paid US$10.5mil (RM39.9mil) although Donatella has refused to comment.
When all is said and done, what about the clothes then? (We think they are the main item, no?)
Well, there is a draped jersey dress split to almost the nether regions and gathered at the waist with a gold buckle - very nice. A shirt that shouts Versace and worn with body-hugging jeans or loose cream pants - very nice too. Strappy, strappy, sandals - excellent! And the bags, they are Versace - what more is there to say?
So, even though the platinum wig makes you do a double-take, the clothes win you over. They can make almost anyone look good and you don't even have to resort to heavy touch-ups. Think about it.

"I thought she was special when I first saw her," Mr. Stein said. "I especially remember when she came to see me at the hospital when it was time to sign her first contract. I had been walking around in my hospital pajamas, opened back, hadn't shaved, hadn't washed. When I heard she was coming, I got my barber to come up. Got the good pajamas. She didn't even notice. She could have cared less. I felt if I was laying in a coffin, she would have waved the papers in front of me."

Madonna continues to plug away at her new album, and while questions are rampant about what it will sound like and who she's working with, at least the latter part of those queries can now be answered. According to her label rep, Madonna's teamed up once again with French producer Mirwais as well as Stuart Price, her musical director on the Reinvention Tour. At least one song title is known so far: "I Love New York."

Looks like Madonna may return to the silver screen.
The spiritual girl is being coached by her Kabbalah advisers that now would be a good time to get back into acting in a big way, says a well-placed source.
"There was some hope that she might become the main pitchwoman for Kabbalah energy drink, but then it was decided that now was the opportune time for her to further her acting career," says the insider. "So they're hoping that Ashton Kutcher will step up to the plate and pitch it."
Madonna's rep dismisses the talk. "I've heard this rumor before. I can't imagine where it came from," Liz Rosenberg told The Scoop. "Madonna is currently in the studio working on a new album, editing a documentary film of her last tour, working on a sequel to The English Roses, her best selling children's book and of course busy with her family. I wouldn't rule out acting in her future but her plate seems pretty full at the moment."

What Makes a Woman Alluring? If we identify the sexiest women in the world, will we also find out what makes all women sexy and alluring? That's the premise behind a Good Housekeeping study of all ages to answer this question: "What makes some women more attractive than others?"
The answer isn't their makeup, hair, or curvy bodies. What makes a woman--or a man, for that matter--sexy is the brain because it "generates fantasy, devises seduction routines, and is aroused by sight, scent, and smell," says Vivienne Parry, science editor of the British edition of Good Housekeeping. "It's the brain that prompts us to advertise our feelings with the way we talk, move, and act." Desmond Morris, author of "The Naked Woman: A Study of the Female Body," told Good Housekeeping, "In today's world, the concept of beauty and attraction comes via two separate avenues, anatomical beauty and behavioral beauty. It's comforting then, finally to see a set of top 10 lists that celebrates not only technically gorgeous women, but also those whose looks subvert the norm."
To illustrate this point, the magazine created lists of the sexiest women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70s.
Sexiest Women in Their 40s:
01 Elle Macpherson
02 Sade
03 Nastassja Kinski
04 Madonna
05 Jerry Hall

Madonna is firing back at Boy George after the '80s pop star blasted her for cynically bilking her gay fans.
George says Madonna's devotion to Kabbalah is the ultimate act of hypocrisy. "It's ironic that she's joined an organization that says homosexuality is a disease that can be cured and no one picks her up on it," George told the London Times. "After making all those millions of dollars out of gay people, pretending to kiss girls, pretending to be a lesbian! I think she's cynical."
But Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, says George is the one being cynical. "There's not enough room on PAGE SIX to respond to Boy George's ridiculous accusations," she told our Jared Paul Stern, "much less list Madonna's long-standing passion, love, commitment and devotion to the gay community which has not changed for 20 years."
Rosenberg insists Kabbalah does "not discriminate against homosexuals, nor do they work toward changing anyone's sexual preference. I wish Boy George would go back to writing songs . . . Does he ever have anything nice to say about anyone?"
Actually, no. George also attacks his former friend Rosie O'Donnell in the interview, a promotion for his memoir "Straight," just released in England. He blasts O'Donnell for ruining "Taboo," the much-maligned 2003 Broadway musical in which he starred and which she produced. George says Rosie was too domineering and neutered the show because she's not gay enough.
"She's a Pottery Barn lesbian," George sniffed to the London Times.
"Rosie put up her own money [$10 million] to bring his show to Broadway," O'Donnell's rep, Cindi Berger, retorted. "It sounds terribly ungrateful, if you ask me."
O'Donnell herself responded to the barb in her "Formerly Rosie" blog (onceadored.blogspot.com), which she describes as "the unedited rantings of a fat 42-year-old menopausal ex-talk show host."
"I am cast as a villain, a Pottery Barn lesbian, not quite gay enough," O'Donnell writes. "My knighted gay brother called to tell me, we laughed. Georgie boy . . . unreachable. Fame is fun again."
O'Donnell is referring to Sir Elton John, who is also trashed in George's book. In the interview, George berates John for singing a duet with Eminem - whom some accuse of homophobia - at the 2002 MTV Awards, noting, "It's like me singing with Pol Pot."

A former female employee of Madonna's film company is suing the pop star and other executives of Maverick Films on claims she was sexually harassed and wrongfully terminated.
Yael Oestreich said in the Superior Court suit filed Wednesday that she was never given a promised salary increase by chief executive officer Mark Morgan and that he fired her in July without cause.
The suit said Maverick Films co-founder Guy Oseary and Madonna, both listed as defendants, "failed to conduct a reasonable investigation into defendant Morgan's background before hiring him and knew or should have known of his propensity for sexual harassment and discrimination."
Phone calls for Morgan, Oseary and a Madonna publicist seeking comment were not immediately returned early Thursday.
Oestreich, a former vice president of development at Maverick, said she was criticized by Morgan at a Nov. 11, 2003 social outing as being "uptight" for not joining in talks about sex. He also accused her of sleeping with three agents from United Talent Agency, her former employer, the suit said.
In the months that followed, the suit said, Oestreich was the target of "inappropriate sexual inquiries" and also accused of being insecure when she told managers of the alleged harassment.
The suit seeks general damages, medical expenses, loss of earnings and punitive and exemplary damages.

Hollywood actor Sean Penn has only bad memories of his stormy marriage to pop superstar Madonna - he can't remember ever having a proper conversation with her.
Oscar-winning Penn endured a turbulent relationship with the Material Girl, now married to British film director Guy Ritchie, in the 1980s.
He recalls, "It was a miserable marriage. I don't recall having a single conversation in four years of marriage."

Pop superstar Madonna has come under fire from her fellow Kabbalah devotees, who claim she receives special treatment.
Madonna has been studying the mystical offshoot of Judaism since 1997 and has introduced several stars to the following, including her husband Guy Ritchie and Britney Spears.
According to Pagesix.com, during a Feb. visit to the New York City Kabbalah Center, Madonna infuriated other devotees with her tardiness.
"She arrived late for Friday night Shabbat services," said one Kabbalah follower.
"But not to worry, a section of the front row had reserved signs on it, and 'Her Madgesty' sat in between Monica Berg, wife of Kabbalah Center founder Rabbi Michael Berg, and popular teacher Ruthie Rosenberg."
The follower claims Madonna arrived even later for the following Saturday afternoon services and was the only person allowed to participate in the Mayim Achronim (Last Water) ceremony.
The source explains, "(It's) washing one's fingertips with water from a cup after eating, bread in this case. Not everyone got the bread, either."

from Liz Smith's column (published in NY Post) : Kenneth Cole, the handsome, smart new chairman of the board of AmFAR, was out in Hollywood last Oscar weekend. We ran into him at Elton John's jammed-to-the-rafters fete. But Kenneth, accompanied by his terrific wife, Maria Cuomo, wasn't there simply to party. He was networking and corralling stars for his big idea - a photograph, which will be published in December on World AIDS Day, of all the prominent scientists and activists who have given time, money, heart and soul to the cause. Mark Seliger is taking the pictures.
So far Kenneth - who is putting his own money into this effort - has snared Greg Louganis, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, Elton John and David Furnish, Desmond Tutu, Dr. David Ho, Dr. Suniti Solomon, Harry Belfonte, Sharon Stone and, but of course, Miss Elizabeth Taylor, the woman who started it all back in 1985 when she co-founded AmFAR with Dr. Mathilde Krim. Madonna is in Cole's sight-line, among others. (Stars who can't get together at the same time will later be digitally joined in the massive picture.)
Kenneth Cole is working to attract a young, hot star to AmFAR's cause. AIDS infection rates have risen alarmingly among young people who don't remember the bad old days, and think, absurdly, even if they are infected, drugs can 'cure' them.

from Madonnalicious.com : News is coming in from Warner France that Madonna's Re-Invention tour documentary is provisionally called The Re-Invented Process and that a premiere of the film is currently scheduled for Saturday 21 May at the Cannes Film Festival. Premieres in London, New York, Los Angeles and Paris are hoped to follow in June.

Britney Spears has defended often-ridiculed celebrity religion Kabbalah, claiming her spiritual dabbling in the ancient Jewish teaching has helped her through some tough times since becoming a married woman.
In a posting on her website on Friday, the pop superstar tells fans the last few months have been trying for her, but her belief in all things Kabbalah have helped her cope.
She explains, "There came a point where not even my family or my advisors had the answers I needed. "The answers I was looking for were all in my heart. Through Kabbalah, I was able to look within myself, clear all the negative energy and turn my life around."
In the Internet message, Britney credits old pal Madonna for turning her onto Kabbalah and she urges all her fans to take time to pray.

The sexy Latina unveiled her dyed tresses last year as she raced up the charts with her hit single "Dip It Low". And she admits she was drawn to the new look after observing "Nasty" singer Jackson, who is one of her idols.
She says, "The best part of being a girl is dress-up. You can change your look and look different whenever you want.
"People that I admired growing up were Janet Jackson and Madonna. They were constantly changing their image. So I (thought), 'When did I like Janet Jackson the most?' It was when she lightened her hair."

A consortium of Sri Lankan musicians is trying to recruit the likes of Elton John, Madonna and Ricky Martin to lend their support to the tsunami-relief effort in the form of song contributions that will appear on a benefit album already in the works.
Funds raised through sales of the record will aid rebuilding efforts in countries devastated by the December 26 catastrophe, The Associated Press reports.
Asoka Gunawardena, a spokesperson for United Artists of Sri Lanka, told the wire service that the group is eyeing a March 26 release date for One Nation, One World, One Love. The album would hit store shelves exactly three months after the disaster occurred.
"This album is produced as a tribute to all those who passed and all those who came for our help in this worst natural disaster," Gunawardena told reporters Wednesday.
The assemblage of Sri Lankan artists has reached out to several U.S. music label representatives for contributions, the AP reports. The 18-song album will also feature singers from Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Somalia and the Maldives.
Gunawardena said that sales of the compilation will support the construction of schools in the recovering region, as well as the erection of a memorial in Sri Lanka, one of the hardest-hit areas.
