Oakenfold struggling with Madonna set for tour

DJ Paul Oakenfold is struggling to put together a playlist for his upcoming shows supporting Madonna - because the crowd will be so diverse.
The superstar DJ will be the Material Girl's warm-up act on the latest leg of her Sticky & Sweet world tour this summer, and he wants to get everyone in the crowd fired up and dancing.
But he's finding it difficult to plan what music to play as he doesn't think his usual style will go down well with the wide range of fans Madonna attracts.
Oakenfold says, 'Planning my set for a Madonna show is tough because she covers the spectrum. It's a white, black, gay, straight crowd, aged between 15 to 60. It's no good making it too underground.'
'Despite the big venues, it'll still be clubby and I'll get the crowd going. And it doesn't take much to get Madonna in the mood.'
Oakenfold is also teaming up with the singer to produce three new tracks on her upcoming Greatest Hits album.

REVOLVER WITH LIL’ WAYNE

According to a reliable insider, there will be two versions of Revolver: one featuring Lil’ Wayne and the other solo with just Madonna. Their plan is most likely to put the solo version on the album, and release the Lil’ Wayne version to radio. Hopefully, this will help Madonna get another #1 hit in the US.

Madonna is Happy for A-Rod and Kate Hudson

Madonna is not only happy that her ex Alex Rodriguez has moved on, she's "relieved!"

A-Rod has reportedly been secretly dating Kate Hudson for a few months now. The couple met at the grand re-opening of Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami last November and instantly hit it off.

So what does Madonna think about her ex moving on? "Madonna is actually relieved that A-Rod seems so happy with Kate," a source told the New York Daily News.

"He's always treated women like he treats home runs anyway. He's getting a great batting average here. In fact, Madonna is actually proud that she's raised the bar for him, so he can date a better caliber of women."

Seems like Madonna is too busy with her 23 year-old boy toy Jesus Luz to care about who A-Rod is dating. What do you think about A-Rod and Kate together? Do you think A-Rod downgraded or upgraded after Madonna?

Queen of Pop's Madonna celebrated the first anniversary of her Malawian son David Banda&aposs adoption with a grand racing theme bash at her Los Angeles mansion.

The superstar's adoption was finalised on May last year and Madonna, who has a penchant for parties did not want to let the anniversary pass by without a bash, Contactmusic reported.

The superstar turned her home into a race track for the day and kitted the driveway out with checkered flags and balloons.

Madonna reportedly also hired speedy Hot Wheel goodies for David, brother Rocco (Guy Ritchie and Madonna&aposs son) and his friends to enjoy their race day.

The&apos Material Girl&aposhad adopted the three-year-old Malawian boy in June 2006 but the adoption procedure was officially finalised in 2008 after a long legal battle.

The 50-year-old star was earlier in news when her attempt a second child from the African nation, four-year-old Mercy James was scrapped by a Malawian court.

Harry I love you, but I really think you should just give up. No one else seems to care, and you're just wasting your time. Unless you enjoy posting it, then carry on. But if you're doing it for the good of the forum, I would suggest leaving it because no one seems to be paying attention. :/ I'm not being rude, I'm just advising you lol.

Madonna gets close to Jesus



MADONNA and ex-husband GUY RITCHIE continue to fuel rumours about new relationships as they enjoy romantic weekends on separate sides of the States.

Last month JESUS LUZ said he and the Queen of Pop were not together, insisting: "She's my friend, only a friend. Madonna is beautiful, a person full of positive energy, with no visible faults."

However they looked like a couple in love as they were photographed gazing adoringly at each other after attending a polo match in New York.

The singer took the Brazilian model and sons DAVID BANDA, 3, and ROCCO, 7, along to watch PRINCE HARRY compete in the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic in Manhattan.

They looked like a genuine family as Jesus and Rocco cheered on from the VIP section while Madonna held David.

Meanwhile on the West Coast, director Guy was spotted enjoying a romantic beach stroll with a mystery brunette.

The Sherlock Holmes director has been linked with a number of high-profile women including ELLE MACPHERSON and JEMIMA KHAN since he and Madonna split up in October.

And he certainly looks to be making the most of his eligible bachelor status as he takes a stroll along the Malibu sand after lunch with the beauty.

Madonna Nude Painting Unsold



Click To View the Fullsize Image/sA controversial painting that featured Madonna and her then-husband Guy Ritchie has failed to sell at auction.

The painting depicted the celebrity couple naked, with the pop star heavily pregnant. Finished in 2005, the art work features two people who were then in love, representing one of the most powerful celebrity couplings on the planet.

Marrying in 2000, Madonna and Guy Ritchie became one of the most in-demand celebrity couples almost overnight. A rejuvenated singer, Madonna had fallen in love with Britain's most hyped young director who was fresh from the success of 'Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels'.

However cracks began appearing in their relationship last year, with Madonna being granted a quickie divorce just weeks before their eighth wedding anniversary. Frequently referencing the relationship onstage, her barbed quips about Guy Ritchie soon became a much talked about part of her record breaking 'Sticky And Sweet' tour.

Since then, the singer has embarked on a string of public relationships, which may have backfired in her quest to adopt a young child from the African nation of Malawi.

Painted by a Scottish artist, the painting was put on sale towards the end of last week. However at Saturday's (May 30th) auction the item failed to reach the £15,000 reserve price which had been placed on it.

Brian Clements, director at McTear's Auctioneers, told the BBC: "The auction was very successful, however, surprisingly Peter Howson's controversial piece Madonna and Guy did not sell on the day."

"The painting is still for sale and we would be delighted to hear from anyone who is interested in this much talked about piece of Scottish art history."

Meanwhile Madonna has announced yet more dates on her ongoing 'Sticky And Sweet' tour. The highest grossing tour by any artist in 2008, the massive jaunt is to promote her highly successful 'Hard Candy' album.

The painting isn't the only nude artefact to have emerged from Madonna's past. Before she was famous the singer posed for a number of revealing photographs which appeared in Playboy in the mid 80s before being swept under the carpet.

However earlier this year the photos emerged again, selling for thousands at auction in the United States.

Madonna has not commented on the sale of the painting.
