MADONNA - Madonna, the myth, the music
What with all her many talents and incarnations we could almost overlook Madonna’s primary career as a musician. A career that is a triumph of style and substance as demonstrated by how skillfully she has taken on new music genres and new looks… all the while remaining true to herself and her best design allies.
While Madonna’s music career has always been an everchanging affair (and has gone from strength to strength for that very reason) but some elements have accompanied it all along. One of these is her longtime collaboration with the designer duo whose main line she has become the face of, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
The friendship and professional relationship goes way back and over the past decade the designers’ contribution was greater than ever. On tours, on covers and in videos. We might be feeling all excited by the new S/S 2010 images but the sight of Madonna in Dolce and Gabbana’s designs is hardly a novelty.
Take the Music era and these exclusive sketches especially thought up for the occasion. In keeping with the mood, fearlessly sexy and unapologetically decked in bling.
Two exclusive sketches designed for Music’s Madonna.
The marvellously embellished one-off jacket by Dolce & Gabbana which captured just what the album was about.
Further along the styling and tunes became resolutely more lighthearted and retro but yet again the designers’ left their mark as seen on occasion of Confessions on a Dancefloor. A logical choice of D&G, their younger, more flirtatious line for a fresh, flirtatious album.

Yet more recently, though before she become the most natural incarnation of the Italian housewife, the collaboration took a very strong and sexy turn first seen in the Hard Candy showcases (three exclusive dates in NYC, London and Paris prior to the Sticky & Sweet tour). This time it was black and the flirtation was most definitely a thing of the past. Corset tops, blouses with just a healthy injection of feminine lace (Madonna does strong very well but never to the expense of femininity), stunning tailored jackets lined in hot pink… Acessorised with the all important throne suit for her Madgesty.

MADONNA - Madonna’s school coming up fast in Malawi
Malaysia News.Net
Saturday 9th January, 2010 (IANS)
The white placard is rather nondescript, but it marks a unique construction site on the rolling meadows outside Malawian capital Lilongwe - a school being built by pop star Madonna who has adopted two children from the country.
The small southern African state, with a population of 13.5 million, had first seen an influx of tabloid journalists jetting into its small airport in 2006, when Madonna adopted a Malawian boy, David Banda. She already has two biological children, Lourdes and Rocco.
Last year, she adopted another Malawian child, a girl this time, Chifundo ‘Mercy’ James. But both times she had run into initial legal troubles, as both the children had one living parent, despite being brought up in an orphanage.
There is a Malawian provision that the future parent had to live in the country for a period of time. However, most of the laws were waived, with the Supreme Court of Appeals ruling in her favour. As a thanksgiving, Madonna started a charity organisation, Raising Malawi, for the development of children.
In fact, Malawi has a large population of orphans, estimated to be around two million. Nearly one-fourth have one or both parents who have perished from AIDS.
Madonna and her four children had come down to Malawi for the ground-breaking ceremony for the $15-million school in October 2009. The hostel will be for 500 girls selected from all districts of the country, which has a GDP per capita of just $541.
The site for the school is just off the road from Kamuzu international airport to Lilongwe.
When a visiting IANS correspondent went to the site, a dirt road led along the white board which is just written with the words - ‘Project Site for Raising Malawi Academy for Girls’. The road was clearly being used by heavy construction equipment making their way to the actual construction site.
The rolling greens was scarred by strips of red earth, with a yellow bulldozer at work, piling soil on to the back of waiting white trucks. There were around four to five trucks waiting or moving around, though there were no physical structures yet.
The academy is set to be operational in two years. Incidentally, the orphanages from where the children had been adopted have also benefited from the increased attention, receiving lots of foreign funding.
Most Malawians are quite positive about Madonna’s adoption. According to Kush Mittal, an Indian businessman living in Lilongwe, there was not much opposition to the American pop star taking two Malawian children into her family, though there were dissenting voices. ‘It was generally thought that the children would get a better life,’ Mittal told IANS.
Thirty-year-old Nero Banda, who worked in the hospitality industry, also had no qualms about Madonna’s adoption. ‘We appreciate it. They (children) would have remained poor here. But now, it will be different,’ he said, gesticulating with his hand.
‘The people who were criticising were the rich people whose children were going to foreign schools,’ he added.

MADONNA - Madonna’s flack Liz Rosenberg may quit Warner after 38 years…
End of an era?
Liz Rosenberg — who publicized Madonna for her entire career, as well as Cher, Michael Bublé, Stevie Nicks, Chrissie Hynde and Paul Simon — is said to be leaving Warner Bros. Records after 38 years because the company can no longer afford her. Rosenberg may become a free agent and work for the label as a consultant. Asked to comment on the buzz, the quick-witted queen of press agents quipped, “I don’t make comments about myself, and I can’t imagine where you heard that. I know that there are also rumors that I’ve been sleeping with George Cloo ney, but I’m not commenting on that, either.”

MADONNA - Romours about A Trak producing Madonna’s new album: "That quote is made up"
@atrak - could you confirm/deny this quote you supposedly gave to the Daily Star about producing Madonna’s new album

MADONNA - Madonna heading in rap direction?
Madonna is set to take a new rap/rock direction on her next album.
The Celebration singer is working with both rap producer A-Trak and rock producer Brendan O’Brien - who has previously worked with Pearl Jam - and attempting to merge the two genres on the follow up to her hip-hop influenced 2008 LP, Hard Candy.
A-Trak, real name Alain Macklovitch, told the Daily Star newspaper: “It’s my production, turned into song structure - halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to.”
Madonna, 51, is said to be set on making a track to match the success of Run DMC’s groundbreaking take on 80s hit Walk This Way, which defined the rap/rock genre - and went on to spawn acts such as Korn, Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock in the 90s.
Madonna has a long history of working with hip-hop producers, including Pharrell Williams and Timbaland on Hard Candy, but she is also keen to play up a more guitar-heavy sound after spending time mastering the instrument and insiders say she’s working on perfecting a balance between the two.
The resulting album could be released this year.

MADONNA - Glee’s Jane Lynch: Last Song I Downloaded: Madonna’s “Vogue.”
Interview by Laura Lane
Last Song I Downloaded:
Madonna’s “Vogue.” I’ve been kind of up on Madonna these days. I grew up in the ’80s, so she provided the soundtrack to my life. I think my favorite song is “Crazy For You.” It’s got such an aching and a longing to it; I know we’re doing that song in the Madonna episode [on Glee].

MADONNA - Miley Cyrus Clears Up Quotes about Madonna and Angelina.
December 30, 2009
Miley Cyrus hates being misquoted during her interviews.
The 17-year-old actress/singer sounded off on her official blog following a report that she pointed out and talked down on Madonna and Angelina Jolie’s parenting styles.
Miley wrote, “I don’t know why people love to misquote me but they do. So when I said ‘children have no say in the matter’ with their pictures being taken I am talking about when psycho paparazzi who follow people around and take pictures of their little ones!”
She continued, “I NEVER said ANYTHING about Madonna or Jolie doing a photo shoot with their kids! That isn’t taking them to the playground or for a walk and having a bunch of creepy men flash cameras in their face! Kids should be able to go out in to the world and enjoy it and really live in it. Those photographers take a lot away from their childhood! It is unfair and should not be allowed.”
Irish Central has previously quoted Miley as saying that she “really disagrees” with how the two older superstars were placing their children in the public eye.

MADONNA - Six Directions For Madonna’s Next Album
Madonna is currently at work on a new album, which is expected to be unleashed some time in 2010. She has stayed relevant in the music business by constantly reinventing herself, taking in new genres and musical experiments and making them her own. She is meticulous about how she selects collaborators, because they inform the sound of the albums as much at Madge herself.
One of the confirmed producers working on the still-unnamed work is Brendan O’Brien, who made a name for himself sitting behind the boards for Pearl Jam and has also helmed productions for Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots, AC/DC and Aerosmith. Does that mean that the singer behind “Like a Prayer,” “Ray of Light” and “Hung Up” is going to dive deep into the rock world and make a guitar-based album?
It’s a possibility, though reports also have A-Trak (a Kanye West collaborator) and David Guetta (of “Sexy Chick” fame) working on the album as well, which suggests that it’s a combination of roots rock, futuristic hip-hop and whatever Akon makes. With that in mind, here are six directions Madonna could go in.
Rock Opera
Madonna has theater experience (she famously lobbied hard to play Eva Peron in the film version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “Evita”) but has never really constructed an album based on a narrative (and the disastrous American Life shouldn’t count). She could bring in Green Day producer Rob Cavallo to beef up her rock chops and flesh out her own version of American Idiot.
Electro-Rap Posse Album
If A-Trak is on board, she should expand her horizons and invite a cavalcade of MCs to throw down with her on a full-on rap album. We’re certain that Lupe Fiasco, Dizzee Rascal, Mos Def, Rhymefest and Kanye would all probably be game to trade verses with Madonna, who is not necessarily a stranger to spitting. Remember her verse on “American Life”?
Metal
Though she’s lorded over some tough dance beats in the past, truly hard music has never been her forte and remains an uncharted territory for the star. O’Brien has produced music for metallers like Mastodon and Incubus, so he’s ready, willing and able to crank Madonna’s sound up to 11 and really let her rip.
Country Rock
Madonna isn’t above aping a current star, and with Taylor Swift cranking out huge hits in big numbers, why wouldn’t she attempt to add country to her repertoire? O’Brien has produced twangy records for Springsteen and Pete Droge, and Madonna herself has toyed with country and dance sounds for “Don’t Tell Me.”
Straight Disco
Maybe all these producers are just there to throw us off the scent, and her plan is to actually crank out an even deeper-diving disco record. After all, her recent single “Celebration” was well-received, and the throwback sounds on 2008’s Hard Candy wowed both the dance and pop worlds. Perhaps she just wants to make ABBA tunes for the rest of her career (which wouldn’t be such a bad thing, really).
No Limit Revival
She could fire everybody, recruit Master P’s Beats by the Pound crew and shout along to some late-’90s New Orleans bounce. That probably won’t happen, but Silkk the Shocker could use the work.

Madonna has reportedly paid £6 million for a horse ranch.
The ‘Celebration’ singer splashed out the enormous sum for the estate, which includes 30 acres of land and is situated in the prestigious Hamptons area of New York State.
Madonna - who has four children, Lourdes, 13, Rocco, nine, and adopted Mercy and David, both four - bought the Wild Ocean Farm ranch from designer Calvin Klein’s ex-wife Kelly.
A source said: “Madonna is thrilled the ranch is now hers!”
The Wild Ocean Farm is currently being used to train show horses, and Madonna was only allowed to buy the ranch on the understanding she kept it as a working equine centre.
The singer - who is a keen horse-rider and was badly injured in a riding accident four years ago - is believed to be interested in a £1.5 million adjoining plot of land and is making enquiries into buying it so she can build a mansion there.
