Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana – Pictures

Exclusive in this week’s Italian edition of Vanity Fair is the worldwide preview of Dolce & Gabbana’s new spring/summer 2010 campaign featuring pop icon Madonna.

Madonna’s private life is seldom out of the papers but this new Dolce & Gabbana campaign is unlike anything you have seen before. Exit the paparazzo, these shots by Steven Klein reveal much more than a grainy stolen picture, they showcase an intimate, real aspect to the ultimate icon’s life.

In keeping with Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection’s emphasis on Mediterranean heritage and classic Italian sensuality, the mood isn’t unlike a film from the days of Italian Neorealism. Madonna herself recalls the strong, raw sensuality of the iconic actress Anna Magnani – showcasing when soft sensuality meets bold authenticity.

When asked as to whether Madonna knows how to wash dishes, Stefano Gabbana replies “Certainly…she’s a very practical woman…” And does she actually eat spaghetti despite her most enviable figure? “Of course, says Stefano, and she can allow herself to with all the exercise she does!”

More on the Dolce & Gabbana campaign
When we first learned that Madonna would be fronting Dolce & Gabbana’s new spring ads, we couldn’t wait to see what the pop icon and the Italian designers had up their sleeves. For her latest high-fashion role, the Queen of Pop teamed up with famed photographer Steven Klein to capture a side of the star hardly ever seen: the housewife!

Inspired by iconic Italian actress Anna Magnani in the 1951 Luchino Visconti film Bellissima, the ad campaign seeks to capture a woman’s human side through the simplicity of daily gestures, according to Dolce & Gabbana. Clad in crocheted tops and dresses, floral skirts and leopard spots from the Italian label, Madonna washes dishes, eats spaghetti with her fingers and chops
vegetables.

The 8 campaign images were shot in black and white in Manhattan and will appear in magazines worldwide at the beginning of January.

Madonna crowned most famous celebrity of the decade

Madonna has been crowned the most famous celebrity of the decade with more articles written about her than anyone else.

The 51-year-old star was the focus of more than 45,000 stories since 2000.
Her nearest rival was Robbie Williams – with just under 28,000 newspaper mentions.

The celebrity of the decade survey was conducted by Liv, the UK’s first online TV channel.

Britney Spears and David and Victoria Beckham make up the rest of the top five.

But this year no one could compete with king of pop Michael Jackson who was easily the most talked about star.

The tragic legend was the focus of 6,838 articles – covering both his planned comeback concerts and his untimely death in June.

Meanwhile the award for most-improved celebrity goes to Simon Cowell who garnered just 18 stories in 2000 – but by this year was the written about over 6,000 times.

Roma people to give Madonna gold plaque

The self-proclaimed king of the Roma said Tuesday he wants to give Madonna a gold plaque to thank the singer for criticizing discrimination against his people.

Madonna performed in Bucharest in August as part of her “Sticky and Sweet” tour, and at the concert said she was “very sad” because of the “discrimination against Romas and Gypsies in general in eastern Europe”.

Self-declared king Florin Cioaba said the Roma wanted to show their appreciation for the US star’s gesture.

“Madonna deserves great credit. She drew the whole world’s attention to discrimination against the Roma,” Cioaba told journalists in the central Romanian town of Sibiu.

The plaque has been ordered from a jeweler in Italy and will be made from 24-carat gold, the Romanian news agency Mediafax reported.

Romania has one of Europe’s largest communities of Roma, an ethnic minority believed to originate from the Indian subcontinent often referred to as Gypsies.

Discrimination against the group in Romania continues: a survey last September found that seven out of 10 Romanians would not want a Roma to be part of their family, and Madonna was jeered by the crowd when she made her remarks at the concert.

Last year Amnesty International criticised the Romanian authorities’ lack of action to tackle discrimination against Roma, a problem it said was “widespread and deeply ingrained in (people’s) minds.”
