all about Madonna

Madonna is used to being ferried around the world in complete luxury.
When she is in LA she relaxes in the comfort of a £300,000 Mercedes Maybach limo and her lavish private jet is on stand-by 24 hours a day. Even her mountain bike for tackling London’s traffic is top-of-the-range.
Yet the Queen of Pop will delight legions of Britain’s boy racers with an MTV Pimp My Ride-style video for next single Sorry.
Madge is ditching her fleet of fancy motors to transform a rusty old banger into the ultimate blingmobile.
With UK Pimp My Ride host and Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood making a cameo appearance on the promo, a team of experts will take a Ford Cortina and turn it into a high-spec speedster, just like my graphics boffins have drawn above.
A source said: “Madonna really loves the MTV show. She wanted to do a video with a rags-to-riches story, taking a battered old British banger and turning it into something special.
“Her record company contacted the MTV producers behind Pimp My Ride and they came up with a storyboard and car for the video.”?
Madge – who had a big hit with Don’t Cry For Me Argentina – has used a “~cameo star in a car’ on a video before.
Ali G was her limo driver in the video for her No1 single Music in 2000.
The new song will be remixed by the Pet Shop Boys after a personal plea from her Madgesty. She bumped into Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe at a party last year and told them she thought “they were brilliant”?.
The Pet Shop Boys recently signed up Little Britain stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams to appear in the video of a single from their forthcoming brilliant album Fundamental.
Having the two comedy kings associated with a tune produced by legendary hitmaker Trevor Horn will be a little Brit special.

From “Seven Days with Sam Mann” column : She received my prestigious Celeb Of The Year award in 2004 and she’s done it again. But we’d expect nothing less from the Queen of Pop. She’s still every bit the true superstar and without doubt the master of re-invention.
Selling over 250 million albums during the span of her extraordinary two-decade career and after celebrating her 47th birthday in August, she proved she’s a real action girl. She took a tumble off a horse breaking her collar bone, hand and cracking three ribs in the process, but has jumped straight back on again. Long may she reign.
