all about Madonna

While finishing her world tour in Japan, Madonna took time out from her busy schedule to shoot the video for her latest single Jump! The shoot took place in many outdoor locations through out Tokyo, as well as a sound stage. Madonna and hair stylist Andy LeCompte decided to take her look to a whole new level and try using a platinum blonde bob wig for this video. The result is everyone loved the wig so much, that it made a cameo in the last two nights of the Confessions Tour! Check out the exclusive picture of Madonna conferring between takes with her choreographer Stefanie Roos, Manager Angela Becker, Hair Stylist Andy LeCompte, and getting touched up by Make Up Artist Gina Brooke.

In an effort to raise money for charity, Australian cricketer Shane Warne is reportedly planning to get pop queen Madonna, Hollywood actor Hugh Grant and Trudie Styler, the wife of singer Sting together for a poker gambling event.
Other guests, who would be helping to raise around 300,000 pounds, include footballer Teddy Sheringham and Tom Parker Bowles, son of the Prince of Wales’ wife Camilla Parker.
Along with Warne, environmentalist Zac Goldsmith, editor of the Ecologist magazine will organize the fundraiser.
Money raised from the poker event will be donated to the Shane Warne Foundation, which works for children in need, and another organization that distributes funds to environmental charities.
Warne, writing in his Internet blog, said: “Madonna and Hugh Grant are playing and we are raising around 300,000 British quid for my foundation and Zac’s Ecology Trust,” reports the Sun.

Slinky Madonna goes for an amazing red-tro look in these photos to celebrate a milestone in rock.
The main shot appears on one of 20 different covers to mark Q Magazine’s 20th anniversary.
And the singer looks a million dollars in the stunning 80s-style dress and a huge matching cocktail ring.
In the magazine, Madonna tells how her horse-riding accident last year, in which she broke her collarbone, ribs and hand, changed her whole outlook.
She says: “It was a wake-up call to appreciate my life, to be more grateful for what I have. It reaffirms my continued aspirations to learn and do as much as I can while on this earth.”
The 48-year-old, who first appeared on the cover of Q in June 1991, also reveals how the births of her children, Lourdes, nine, and six-year-old Rocco were the high points of her life.
But the lows, she adds, were “watching many friends die from Aids”. Madonna also touches on other lighter issues, such as her hair – and particularly her worst-ever style.
She says: “It was when I made an attempt to do the Princess Leia buns. But she had hair extensions. Not fair.”
And despite her sometimes controversial past, she owns up to a rather low-key favourite vice… double espresso.
Other stars who will appear on Q’s 20 different covers include Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Noel Gallagher, Britney Spears, Beyonce and U2. The anniversary edition is out on September 30.

Pop queen Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie may adopt twins from an African orphanage next month, The People can reveal.
They will fly out to poverty-stricken Malawi to find a child and may even adopt either twins or ordinary siblings.
They will even consider kids with special needs.
A source close to the celebrity couple confirmed: “Originally Madonna and Guy planned to adopt only one child.
“But when they were told that might mean breaking up a family unit they immediately said they would take siblings or twins if that was the right thing to do.
“They want the children to be as young as possible but are prepared to take kids up to the age of four.
“And they are also willing to consider a child with special needs arising from being abandoned in an orphanage.”
Madonna, 48, and 38-year-old British-born film director Guy will spend a week in Malawi meeting adoption lawyers.
If the process runs smoothly they could be the legal parents by the time they leave the country.
Our source added: “It will be a very hectic trip with each day packed with meetings, but they are both really cited. They understand the implications of adopting a child from another country and are confident they can provide a loving and stable home.
“They are determined to make sure their child or children learn about their roots.”
The couple already have a six-year-old son Rocco together, and Madonna has a daughter Lourdes, who will be 10 next month, from a previous relationship.
The source said: “Both youngsters are also really excited ex about having a brother or sister – or even both.”
Earlier this month The People revealed how Madonna and Guy hoped the adoption would help save their stormy marriage.
The couple decided to approach an adoption agency in Los Angeles earlier this year after struggling to conceive again naturally.
They have been vetted and had their parenting skills assessed. Next month’s trip will be the first chance Madonna has had to visit Malawi since her sell-out Confessions tour.
The singer and Guy may meet Malawi’s President, Bingu Wa Mutharika.
Malawi is one of the world’s poorest countries and one million of its 13 million population have HIV/AIDS.
Last night a spokesman for Madonna confirmed: “Madonna will go to Africa in the next six to eight weeks for her charity.”
