M Replaces Kylie In Broadway Musical!

The highly anticipated Broadway debut of ‘Priscilla Queen of the Desert’ apparently has a few changes underway.

The West End show features numerous mentions of Kylie Minogue but bosses of the hit musical are replacing her with Madonna’s name in the US version, reports the Mirror.

“Kylie’s not a household name in the States so they needed an equally fabulous gay icon for the show. Madonna was the obvious choice,” a source said.

Update: IMGlobal Denies W.E. To Be Screened At Cannes!

Today, a rep for IMGlobal says a French report claiming the film would appear at the festival is false.


Madonna’s feature film W.E. will not be screening as part of the Festival de Cannes in May, according to IMGlobal, the sales agent that is handling the film.


While the French newspaper Le Parisien/Aujourd’hui said on Thursday that the film would appear at the festival, the Madonna-directed movie, which is currently in post-production, it is not expected to be completed in time for Cannes and is instead aiming for a bow on the fall film circuit.


Madonna is expected to visit Berlin next month to host a private screening of select footage for foreign distributors attending the European Film Market.


The official selection of films that will appear at Cannes won’t be announced by artistic director Thierry Fremaux until April.

M Plans To Present W.E At Cannes!

PARIS — While she may not be like a Virgin to the Festival de Cannes, Madonna plans to head back to the Croisette in May to present her feature film W.E, French newspaper Le Parisien/Aujourd’hui reported on Thursday.

The material girl will first screen her film privately for select distributors in Berlin next month.
W.E. stars Abbie Cornish and Oscar Isaac in the film about parallel stories of the early 20th century love affair between Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII and a modern romance.

Letter Of Record Exc.Who Passed On Signing M!

.Millennium Records president Jimmy Ienner made perhaps the stupidest decision of his entire career, by rejecting Madonna’s demo.He wrote that while he “enjoyed listening to Madonna” and liked several of her songs, he did “not feel that she is ready yet.”His verdict? “I will pass for now, but I will wait for more.”Of course, Ienner never got a second chance to weigh in on Madonna… Sire released her debut album a few years later, and the rest is pop-music history.

Madonna Painting On Dosplay In Macclesfield!

A controversial painting of Madonna and her former husband Guy Ritchie, worth £35,000, is hanging in Macclesfield’s newest exhibition space, the Gateway Gallery.Collector Martin Regan, 48, of Alderley Edge, snapped up the painting by Scottish artist Mark Howson, called "A Portrait Of Marriage" and will display it in his Prestbury Road gallery, which opens on Friday.

He said: "This is a very exclusive gallery selling things for up to £100,000."When it came up for sale in May 2009 there was a lot of interest in it because Madonna collects Howson’s work and everyone thought she might buy it, but she didn’t, I did."Dad-of-four Martin added: "It polarises people, some people really like it and some don’t."I think it’s a powerful painting by a world-class artist."He added: "

The Madonna painting will interest a lot of people who should come and see it and take a look around."Gateway Gallery, opens with a private exhibition tomorrow, January 20, and opens to the public on Friday, January 21.

Slant Magazine's Top 100 Singles Of The 90's!


42. Madonna, “Secret.” Despite the common misconception that she often sings about sex, Madonna’s songs aren’t always sexy. “Secret” is perhaps the finest exception to that rule. As it slinks along a simple R&B backbeat and an unfussy acoustic guitar figure, “Secret” is also one of the most organic-sounding singles of Madonna’s career, taking its sweet time to get where it’s going and not giving up too much along the way. The arrangement gets off on being withholding, and, at least for one glorious single, so does Madonna: When she sings, “You knew all along/What I never wanted to say,” she sounds positively rapturous. JK

36. Madonna, “Deeper and Deeper.” Among Madonna’s finest achievements, the angsty pop anthem “Deeper and Deeper” is both an acute distillation of Erotica’s smut-glam decadence and the singer’s lifelong blond ambition. The song, like its video, practically plays out as an autobiography of the singer’s life: Atop sambalicious disco, Madonna delivers a burning, poignant fairy tale of yearning and escape in which she plays both Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Armond White once praised Madonna for how she took “outsider art inside herself”—which is to say, justified it by personalizing it. The uncontrolled, fierce tension of the song derives from the feeling that Madonna is taking a plunge into some hedonistic abyss of her own liberated, uninhibited making. EG

34. Madonna, “Erotica.” Madonna accepts the burden of her throaty, spent-from-touring voice, which makes Erotica’s taunting, aggressive lyrics—an elaborate exploration of sex, from seduction to disease—feel unmistakably honest. The title track, whose opening put-a-record-on scratchiness mirrors that of Madonna’s most divisive instrument, is the singer’s invitation to the dance, a slithering, sinister snake rising from a gaudily ornate chalice. The beats are, by design, hypnotic—at once alluring and devious. With “Erotica,” Madonna promises to get you off, but not without giving you something. EG

16. Madonna, “Ray of Light.” Once the Material Girl made it her mission to bring electronica to the masses, she could have named her collaborator. Her decision to work with William Orbit shows that, for all the flack she’s faced for “appropriation,” her interest in underground dance music is deep and not wholly commercial. Madonna discovered techno just as she turned 40 and took up Kabbalah, and listening to “Ray of Light,” it’s easy to imagine Madonna finding in rave culture not just a new image, but a way of expressing her spiritual awakening. The beat is restless and Madonna sings breathlessly, but she exudes contentment: “I feel like I just got home!” Her emotional warmth is what establishes the song as a standout single even in a catalogue as replete with classics as Madonna’s. MC

10. Madonna, “Vogue.” Much has been written (specifically on this site) about the cultural impact of the appropriation of queer and nonwhite motifs in Madonna’s “Vogue,” so I’ll focus instead on the song’s musical archaeology and influence. Lest I completely ignore its substance, Madonna’s message is clear (”Beauty is where you find it”), but the track’s origins are part and parcel with its star’s mining of gay club trends and Old Hollywood: Inspired by the Salsoul Orchestra’s “Ooh, I Love It (Love Break)” by way of Danny Krivit’s remix of MFSB’s “Love Is the Message,” the song has a family tree that even includes producer/DJ Shep Pettibone’s remix of Janet Jackson’s “Miss You Much” and serves as a sort of musical map of disco. Pettibone recorded “Vogue” with Madonna as a B-side for her single “Keep It Together,” making its impact all the more impressive (it would go on to inspire a glut of pop-house copycats) and begging the question: If disco died a decade earlier, what the fuck was this big, gay, fuscia drag-queen boa of a dance song sitting on top of the charts for a month for?

Rasta Baby!


Avril Lavigne Want To Do It Like Madonna!

Avril Lavigne has revealed that she hopes to emulate Madonna’s music career.


The singer, who is gearing up for the release of her fourth studio album Goodbye Lullaby, told the Daily Record that she wants to follow a similar path to Madonna, who has released 11 albums in her 27-year career.


“I definitely can see myself still being out there in 20 years’ time.I want to be around the way Madonna has done it. She’s had her life but still maintained her career throughout.Well, it’s like you go away and you come back. I put out a record, I’m around doing a million things and then I shut up and go away.I think it’s good to change but it’s better if it’s a natural progression rather than being forced.”

World Media Owes Apology To Madonna!

Right now, every media organization in the world probably owes a massive apology to Madonna for spending the last few years gleefully caricaturing the musical superstar as a celebrity who used her wealth and influence to collect African babies the way other people pick up a pint of milk on the way home from work.

Since Elton John and civil partner David Furnish announced to almost universal acclaim that they, too, have just picked up a baby in the Christmas sales, it's become ever more apparent that Madonna's only mistake was being a heterosexual woman rather than a gay man.Madonna was already in an established family unit when she adopted Mercy James and David from Malawi. She had biological children of her own and a proven track record as a good mother. Even so, she still had to convince a court in Malawi that her lifestyle was a fit one to provide a loving and stable home for another baby.
