Madonna on Slant’s Best Albums Of The Aughts list

38. Madonna, Confessions on a Dance Floor
Confessions on a Dance Floor could’ve just as easily been called Ghost of Madonnas Past: at once a thumping tribute to the restorative power of dance music (this was the workout album of the decade if there was one) and a treatise on the singer’s own fame (“I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about”), in which all her musical tics headily come to fore (singing in foreign languages? Check. Faux-tribalistic hymn? Check.). References to the past are everywhere, from the ABBA sample of “Hung Up” to her silly love letter to the city where she got her start, “I Love New York,” but Madonna has always been a thoroughly postmodern pop artist, and as such, songs like “Hung Up,” Sorry,” and “Forbidden Love” aren’t so much throwbacks as updates of the disco sound to which she’s indebted. PS

31. Madonna, Music
Though Madonna would collaborate with William Orbit on three tracks on her follow-up to Ray of Light, the album otherwise represented a seismic shift from its predecessor’s warm-and-gooey spirituality (a Book of Revelation to many fans, anathema to others). Mirwais’s defiantly experimental, Eurotrashy, wholly artificial production—awash in Auto-Tune and Nintendo beats—was bound to disappoint some, but no one does ersatz like Madonna, and fittingly, this is also one of her most soul-bearing works, from the feminist “What It Feels Like for a Girl,” to the Toni Morrison-alluding “Paradise (Not for Me), to “Nobody’s Perfect,” a slow burn that’s never less than affecting.

Rumor: Madonna conducts dance-off at club

Madonna seemed to be holding auditions at Meatpacking District hot spot SL on Wednesday night. “She was looking for new dancers for her upcoming tour,” said a source. More than 30 wannabes formed a circle around her and conducted a dance-off. “It was pretty epic,” our spy says. “Some professionals were doing flips and spins, while the amateurs sort of just stared.” Madonna’s own deejay, Tony Touch, got on the turntables while Knicks star Danilo Gallinari and singer Eve looked on.

Yep that could be true. As the album will be out this year. Expect Confessions style timetable with album late in the year and tour spring time. (rumours)

Thats sounds so good, hopefully it has the same time as Confessions.

Yes I agree.

Madonna in Rio for Carnival

Madonna leads a charge of celebrities descending on Rio de Janeiro for the city’s famously sexy Carnival starting this weekend.

The pop star triggered screams from fans as she checked into an up-market hotel on Ipanema beach with her children in tow, Brazil’s Globo news website reported.

The frenzy added to a crowd already gathered in front of the hotel because of another singing guest lodged there – Beyonce, who was wrapping up a series of pre-Carnival Brazilian concerts as part of a Latin American tour.

Other celebrities expected to show up for Carnival, which runs from Saturday to next Tuesday, include Alicia Keys and Paris Hilton, according to star-gazing website Ofuxico.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsay Lohan, however, have cancelled their plans to visit, the daily O Dia says.

Madonna to serve as ‘Marriage Ref’ judge

She’s 0-for-2 in the marriage game, but that won’t stop Madonna from judging other people’s domestic disputes.

The pop icon will appear on NBC’s The Marriage Ref, the Jerry Seinfeld-created show about warring couples that premieres Feb. 28, the network confirms.

Twice divorced (from Sean Penn and Guy Richie), the Material Girl will sit on a celebrity panel to determine the winner of the family feud.

OMG I fogot to post some news recently. You will have alot tonight. Here goes.

Madonna directing ‘W.E.

’Madonna, the queen of pop, has her eye on a king.

She’s set to direct “W.E.,” a biopic about the affair between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson that led to the Brit royal abdicating from the throne to marry his divorcee lover.

Vera Farmiga (“Up in the Air”) is eyeing the plum role of Simpson, who precipitated the most severe constitutional crisis in the English monarchy in the 20th century after Edward proposed to her, only months into his reign.

There is no word yet on who will play King Edward.

Madonna is writing the script with Alex Keshishian, who directed the multihyphenate in “Truth or Dare.”

Former Miramax exec Colin Vaines and David Parfitt are producing the pic. CAA is handling domestica sales while IM Global has international.

This will which will be Madonna’s second directorial effort; her first, “Filth and Wisdom,” preemed at Berlin in 2008. Simpson led a colorful life, having been married twice before her romance with Edward. The two of them, who lived the rest of their lives as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, spent the best part of three decades living a life of leisure as social celebrities around the world.

Madonna wins Malawi land struggle

Madonna has won a dispute over the plot earmarked for her Malawi school, meaning villagers have been told to move from their homes.

In a land dispute pitting the singer against African villagers, Malawi’s government sided with Madonna who pumped millions into the impoverished southern African country and adopted two of its children.

Villagers were refusing to move from a plot of land near the capital, Lilongwe, where Madonna wants to build a 15 million US dollar school for girls.

The government, however, said it had originally planned to develop the plot, and only allowed the villagers to live there until a project was identified.

Lilongwe District Commissioner Charles Kalemba, accompanied by other government officials and representatives from Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity, met about 200 villagers and told them they would have to move. The villagers were offered other government land.

“Government allowed you to occupy this land because there was no project yet. But now that Madonna wants to build you a school you have to give way,” Mr Kalemba told the villagers. “You are lucky that Madonna has compensated you for your houses, gardens and trees.”

Anjimile Mtila-Oponyo, who will be principal of Madonna’s school, said the singer paid the villagers more than 16 million kwacha (about 115,000 US dollars) to compensate them for their houses – mostly mud-and-thatch structures – and improvements such as gardens and trees.

One villager said the 1,500 US dollars in compensation he received from Madonna for mango trees and three homes was not enough. He said his family had been living on his seven-acre plot for three generations.
