[/b]Madonna talks about current and upcoming projects with Larry Flick[/b]
Last week Sirius FM aired an interview with Madonna, who talked to Larry Flick right after the Budapest show just a month ago. In the interview, she mentioned how exciting and fun the 2009 tour was, with visiting brand new places in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, also hinting at always being nervous just before hitting the stage. About the greatest hits album Celebration, she talked about not being a lookback girl, but appreciating that people want to hear her old songs, because she wrote "some good songs". She tries not to listen to them that much and on tour she gets sick of the stuff she sings every night, but likes to revisit some older songs. When asked about feeling an old song currently, she named Beautiful Stranger and pointed out the compilation would have everything that's not on the tour (possibly explains the omission of Human Nature, You Must Love Me & Give It 2 Me? ;-)... When asked about songs that should not be celebrated, she answered that each of them is important to her career and all of them describe the part of her life she was at when writing them. She named Don't Tell Me, Like It Or Not and Live To Tell as songs that resonate with her more, or are truthfully more about her than others. She said the people want to be inspired and expect political songs like American Life from her, while others want her "let's have fun" kinda music, and people are in different moods in different moods, just like herself. She listens to a lot of electronic music these days but could not club that much during tour. Also talked about putting a show together and getting prepared for a tour for months, calling it an endurance test. She absolutely cannot relate to the idea of touring with the same show for 18 months. About working with Paul Oakenfold, she liked his production for other artists and that he gets people moving and is a positive person. Also mentioned her daughter Lourdes being in the Celebration video, since she hangs out with the dancers a lot and is a dancer herself. Madonna was comfortable with Lourdes being in the video and thinks she wants to be an actress, not following her mother's footsteps as a singer. She also calls her the "super sister" in the family. About getting another child, she said her hands are full right now but "never say never". When asked about the sound of her next record, she said she did not have the chance to think about that, but always loves electronic music and is sure she'd keep going that direction, but does not know with who she'd collaborate. She currently has a directing project and several projects in Africa going on with two new documentaries and building a girls school. She called herself extremely lucky and blessed for having such a life. You can download the interview at AbsolumentMadonna. |

Madonna 'snubs Lindsay Lohan at NY club'
Madonna reportedly refused Lindsay Lohan entry to a VIP party last week. According to Contactmusic, the 'Celebration' singer ordered her security team not to let the Mean Girls actress into the private booth at an opening party for the Boom Boom Room nightclub in New York. The root of the alleged snub is believed to stem from Lohan's recent unveiling as an artistic adviser to fashion house Emanuel Ungaro, ahead of Madonna. The label's president Mounir Moufarrige previously said that he had met with five candidates before eventually deciding on Lohan, which included Madonna and Paris Hilton. The 23-year-old is expected to make her debut for the Emanuel Ungaro brand at Paris Fashion Week later this month. DS |

Michael Jackson: 'Madonna Was In Love With Me And Jealous Of My Fame'
The singer reveals his thoughts on the Material Girl in nine-year-old, never-before-seen interview... It seems Michael Jackson may not have been quite as fond of Madonna as you might expect from her moving tribute at last week's VMAs. The pair became friends in the early nineties, and went on several high profile dates, including showing up to the 1990 Academy Awards ceremony on each other's arm. But in a nine-year-old filmed interview with his friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, due to be shown on TV this week, Michael claims the affection was purely one-sided. He told Boteach: "I think she (Madonna) likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people. I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common. "She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes form the heart in the way you present yourself." The Thriller star believed Madonna was one of several stars who envied his fame, telling Boteach: "They admire you and know you are wonderful and great because they are jealous, because they wish they were in your shoes. Madonna is one of them. She is jealous. She is a girl, a woman and I think that's what bothers her... "I get the fainting and adulation and she doesn't." By constrast, Michael describes the late Princess Diana as his ideal woman: "I thought she was very special - very feminine and classy. She was my type for sure, and I don't like most girls. There are very few I like who fit the mould. It takes a very special mould to make me happy and she was one of them." Boteach - who is allowing US shows Today and Dateline to broadcast segments of the interview this week - maintains Michael wanted the footage to be released to the public so his fans could gain a better understanding of his personal life. Strange, then, that he should wait nine years until after the singer's untimely death... http://www.entertainmentwise.com/new...ous-of-my-fame |

I bought the album yesterday. Haven't got round to listening to it all yet though because there's so many songs on it.
 "It's So Cool" is brilliant, I personally prefer it to "Revolver". Should have been on the album.

I give the album 9/10. Why is that you might say? Because American Life is absent. And guess what I will rate the DVD , 9/10. Reason you might say? Because American Life is absent. My fave Madonna track is not there such a shame.

Madonna: Saturday Night Live deal falls through
Lots of Madonna fans were really excited when they heard Madonna was supposed to host and perform on Saturday Night Live. The woman hasn't shown a sense of humor in years, so this would have been a perfect opportunity to prove she is still human. Madonna's Saturday Night Live appearance would have been a perfect opportunity to promote Celebration, a worthwhile greatest hits set that nobody seems to know about because Madonna doesn't believe in promoting her albums anymore. What went wrong? A source tells us that in order to perform two songs (one would have been an acoustic 'Live to Tell"), Madonna needed far more rehearsal time on SNL's stage than they would have allowed. She also allegedly refused to rehearse on a Friday for some reason. Eventually, SNL decided that she wasn't worth the trouble and Madonna, being the absolute perfectionist, decided that it wasn't worth it either. Instead, fans will be able to "enjoy" Madonna's appearance on David Letterman this Wednesday. We can already predict what she'll talk about: Kaballah, kids, Michael Jackson, Israel, and Lady Gaga. Oh, she might even talk about the Celebration album! http://www.examiner.com/x-21081-Indi...-falls-through |
