Madonna 'in talks to perform on X Factor'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph...a_1437219c.jpg

The pop superstar could be set to follow in the footsteps of Take That, Beyoncé and Britney Spears if she takes up Simon Cowell's offer to perform on the ITV1 reality show, famous for launching the career of Leona Lewis.

Other performers being lined up for the show include Lady GaGa and Rihanna, while Cowell is also reportedly interested in former Take That member Robbie Williams. Cowell believes that the show would be a great opportunity for Williams, who has been overshadowed by his former band, to relaunch his career.

And he is also reportedly keen to lure back Beyoncé, who sang a duet with last year's winner Alexandra Burke, on the show. Beyoncé is in London at the time of filming, where she will be performing at the O2 arena in November.

The guest appearances could mean specific Madonna or Robbie Williams themed-nights, much like the night Spears performed last year. Thirteen million people tuned into X Factor to watch her performance, although it was later criticised as half-hearted.

A source close to the show told The Sun: "The last series proved anything is possible when Beyoncé performed with Alex. The final got 15 million viewers and that is enough to entice the biggest stars on to our stage.

"This year is going to be bigger than ever – we are planning to get the best names in music. Madonna and Robbie would be sensational."

'Give me your shirt!'

Watch out boys! Madonna is now on a mission to get you to take off your shirts during her Sticky & Sweet Tour as last night in Manchester proved.
Most fans agreed that this third show was the best so far, with Madonna smiling all night. What has now become part of the show is that during La Isla Bonita Madonna will demand that guys take their shirts off and give them to her. This led to a many shirts flying onto the stage, with Madonna catching them, waving them around and this time collapsing into giggles at what she had started!

The shirt throwing continued while she sat down during Doli, Doli and ended with one fan throwing a flashing devil horns headband - she just told him off by wagging her finger at him (with a smile on her face of course).

Her jacket would not unbutton during Beat Goes On, causing more giggles and funny faces from Madonna as she struggled with her costume.

A costume change was noted tonight when Madonna wore a pair of red-tinted glasses in 4 Minutes, adding to her already futuristic costume.

One of the most serious moments of the concert took place before You Must Love Me - Madonna reminded the crowd that it was Michael Jackon's memorial today and told the audience that that we should not take anything for granted and we should appreciate our family, those we love and everything we have before it's too late.

Poles protest holy day concert by Madonna

A Polish ultra-religious movement Tuesday said it planned prayer sessions to protest a concert by US superstar Madonna in Warsaw on August 15, which is when Roman Catholics honour the Virgin Mary.
'We're going to continue our crusade with daily prayer sessions outside Warsaw city hall from August 1,' said Marian Brudzynski, head of the Committee for the Defence of the Faith and Tradition.
'We'll start with a group of a few hundred people, but I'm convinced that the square in front of city hall will end up filled with pious Poles,' he said.
Brudzynski, an independent local councillor who previously represented the far-right and ardently Catholic League of Polish Families, has been pushing Warsaw city hall to ban Madonna's first-ever show in Poland.
Concert organisers said the 70,000-ticket event was already all but sold out.
Madonna has often angered faithful Christians in the past not only with her racy shows but also with on-stage antics such as a mock crucifixion scene.
Even though her real first name is Madonna, that also offends some Christians because it is an alternative term for the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary holds a special place for Roman Catholics, who every August 15 mark the Assumption, celebrating her being taken bodily to heaven after her death.
The Virgin Mary is particularly important in Poland, where more than 90 percent of the population of 38 million people are professed Roman Catholics.
Her shrines have long been a symbol of the country's survival in the face of centuries of foreign invasion, and she was even declared queen of Poland 350 years ago.
