Madonna Slammed by Malawi President Joyce Banda Following Visit

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:48:37 +0000

Malawi is Madonna's cause celebre. The singer has done a lot for the country, adopting two children from the region and building schools there. At least that's the media spin, since the country's president Joyce Banda has slammed the Material Girl after her visit to the impoverished nation and it seems to be a personal beef.

Madonna is stepping up her social media presence. The singer has joined Instagram, signing up on Feb. 10 while the rest of her pop music peers were having a good time at the Grammys. Madge posted some candid shots of herself – wearing a fake mustache, working up a sweat, enjoying a beverage (of the martini sort) and more!

Madonna Attacked by 'Sex and the City' Stylist for Stealing Merchandise Designs

Scott Shetler — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 16:30:41 +0000

Is Madonna a thief? That claim comes from staffers for Patricia Field, a former costume designer for ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Ugly Betty.’ They charge that black “VOGUE” caps Madonna sold at her recent New York City concerts are reproductions of the ones Field has been selling. A Tumblr post credited to Andy, one [...]

Madonna Threatens to Cancel Show Due to Fans Smoking

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 01:54:30 +0000

Madonna‘s MDNA tour is the highest-grossing trek of 2012, so she can pretty much threaten her fans — who plunked down hard-earned cash on a ticket — and get away with it. Madge did just that during her soundcheck at Estadio Nacional in Santiago City, Chile on Dec. 19. The Material Girl threatened to cancel [...]

Mitt Romney, Madonna + More Land on GQ's List of 2012′s Least Influential People

Cassandra Rose — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:58:59 +0000

Barbara Walters may have her generically boring 'Most Fascinating People' list for 2012, but to us, GQ's 'Least Influential People' list is a lot more interesting.

Favorites include failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney, vehicular danger Amanda Bynes, palate destroyer Guy Fieri, the hilariously titled "Whoever Directed John Carter," and perennial Oscar host Billy Crystal.

Congratulations, you're all utterly irrelevant.

Lady Gaga Fans Burn Madonna T-Shirt Outside Her Hotel

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:00:57 +0000

Brazilian little monsters may have edged out the "competition" when it comes to which geographical location is teeming with the most dedicated Lady Gaga fans in existence.

They didn't burn an effigy of Lady Gaga's nemesis Madonna, but they came pretty darn close. Instead, they burned a t-shirt with Madge's face depicted on it. That's some serious love and dedication right there.

Madonna Jokes About Lady Gaga Rejecting Her Offer to Share the Stage

Amy Sciarretto — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:00:48 +0000

Someone won't just let it go. Madonna is milking the Lady Gaga diss train for all it's worth. Madge brought up the Mother Monster -- again! -- at her MDNA tour stop on Nov. 4 in St. Paul, Minn. But rather than referring to Gaga as "reductive" or an imitator, Madge joked that the singer "rejected" her offer to share the stage. Boo hoo. Madge is all butt hurt about being told no.

Watch Madonna Fall Onstage During 'Like a Prayer'

Amy Sciarretto — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:30:13 +0000

Madonna had an onstage mishap at her Dallas show on Sunday, Oct. 21. Madge was interacting with the adoring crowd during the smash hit 'Like a Prayer,' kneeling before them while the fans sang louder than she did. When she crouched down to engage the crowd a second time, she lost her footing and fell over. Splat! She gives new meaning to the idea of stop, drop and roll in this giggle-inducing clip.

Madonna appeared on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show,’ and despite the fact that she was wearing her famous cone brassiere bustier over her white shirt and black pants, she was in total mom mode.

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:30:34 +0000

Madonna is getting naked… but not in the way you’d think. The diva launched her first fragrance Truth or Dare earlier this year and it was successful enough for Madge to follow it up with a new variation, dubbed Truth or Dare Naked. The second scent in the Material Girl’s perfume portfolio will land on [...]

Lady Gaga Turns Down Madonna's Offer to Duet at Yankee Stadium

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 20:00:33 +0000

The rivalry between Lady Gaga and Madonna, which was started, stoked and supported by Madonna with her near-constant onstage disses of Gaga, nearly came to an end in the Bronx last month. Rumor has it that Madonna extended an olive branch and offered native New Yorker (and Yankee fan) Gaga a chance to duet onstage when Madge played Yankee Stadium. Gaga turned her down, though!

Madonna Battling Marlon Brando's Estate Over Use of His Image

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:05:38 +0000

Is there anyone Madonna won’t battle with? No one and nothing, not even the estate of a dead, iconic actor, is safe. Madge is reportedly locking horns with legendary screen star Marlon Brando’s estate over $300,000 related to her usage of images of Brando in her live shows. The Material Girl namedrops Brando, as well [...]

Madonna Calls Barack Obama a Muslim

Jessica Sager — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:30:51 +0000

Madonna once again voiced her endorsement of President Barack Obama onstage in Washington, D.C. Monday night -- but she threw in a comment that threw off not just her fans, but also the hyperactive election season press. No stranger to controversy (the woman courts it for a living), Madonna urged her supporters to support Obama because he's a black Muslim.

Here's the thing, though: Obama's not a Muslim.

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:05:34 +0000

Apparently Madonna's warranty as bestie has expired, leading Gwyneth Paltrow to trade her in for a younger, prettier model.

And why was Madge was kicked to the curb like last season's thigh-high boots? Because Gwynnie wants someone she can ~~control~~ nurture.

Madonna Disses Lady Gaga + Issues a Stalker Threat All at Once

Alexandra Capotorto — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:07:15 +0000

Madonna is doing her best to stay relevant, and this time around, it’s coming in the form of knocking Lady Gaga down a few pegs. You know, since that won’t make her look old or bitter or angry at all. During an Atlantic City performance, Madonna turned into a fifth-grade schoolgirl and dedicated the song [...]
