'Madonna and I have been friends for almost three decades - dear friends,' Mazar, 45, tells CelebrityBabyScoop.com. 'Our children have had play dates, and we will always be friends.'

Mazar - who appeared in five of Madonna's music videos, including 'Papa Don't Preach' and 'Justify My Love' - says that they 'enjoy each other's company immensely' when she brings daughters Evelyn, 7, and Giulia, 3, to get-togethers with the singer's children, Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, David Banda, 4, and Mercy 3.

'We are both creative minds,' she says, adding that she hopes to work with her again.

Madonna takes to the dancefloor

Madonna is prepared to grind hard to promote man-candy Jesus Luz's career. The pop superstar showed up to catch the tail end of her boyfriend's DJ gig at the DVD release party of Matt Tyrnauer's 'Valentino: The Last Emperor' on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel. 'She was grinding with a bunch of hot fashion guys while Luz spun,' says a spy. 'She's been tak ing a more active role in promoting him, so she stuck around for a bit and mingled before they left together (right).'

Madonna has already given her Brazilian boy-toy's modeling career a push, helping him land a juicy contract with Dolce & Gabbana, although her rep insists she's 'not at all involved in managing the career of Jesus Luz.' Also in attendance were Adrian Brody, Charlie Rose, Diane von Furstenberg, Martha Stewart, Marc Jacobs, Katie Lee - who was overheard discussing her new book of recipes in the elevator - and Brian Grazer and his former 'culture czar'

Brad Grossman.

Madonna's autographed shoes raise $16,600 USD for charity

Madonna's one pair of designer shoes reportedly fetched about $16,600 USD for Roma children at a Romania charity auction.

Madonna donated one of her favorite specially made pair of autographed designer skyscraper gold heels Christian Dior shoes to a charity supporting education of Roma children, which was auctioned off at the fifth annual Ovidiu Rom Halloween Charity Ball held in Bucharest (Romania).

One of the golden heels was reportedly marked with kisses and a heart by her while the other was autographed 'Love Madonna'. Oscar nominated Hollywood star Ethan Hawke (Training Day) reportedly spoke at the Ball.

A gold chain donated by Oscar winner actress Vanessa Redgrave (Mary, Queen of Scots) was auctioned off at about $8,300 USD. Money thus collected will be used to buy clothes and schoolbooks for Roma children, according to reports.

Madonna shoots Dolce and Gabbana's campaign

From Dolce & Gabbana's Swide blogazine:

Madonna has joined forces with Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana to showcase their spring/summer 2010 collection in the brand's forthcoming ad campaign. The campaign will be shot today in New York by photographer Steven Klein.

Madonna first met the designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce back in the early nineties and have retained a strong bond and mutual respect ever since. After first meeting the global superstar whilst she was on the set of Dick Tracy in New York, the designers went onto design her costumes for the now iconic, The Girlie Show tour in 1993.

As Dolce & Gabbana's spring/summer 2010 collection returned to the Italian roots of the brand, evoking its strong heritage and revisiting iconic pieces such as the corset (the designer's finale was composed solely of corsets) it seemed only fitting that Madonna, who embodies both the strong sensuality of the brand and who shares an Italian heritage with the designers should be the one to showcase the Sicilian inspired collection.

On Madonna appearing in their forthcoming campaign, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said:

"To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true".

Madonna finishes new screenplay

Madonna has confirmed that she has completed writing a new film script. 

The popstar, who wrote and directed her first feature Filth And Wisdom in 2008, said that she is planning to relaunch her movie career. 

The 51-year-old told Absolute Now: 'I just finished writing a script and I am trying to get funding and casting for it, believe it or not.' 'It's called We and it's a love story. It is two parallel love stories told from a woman's point of view, obviously. One is a historical story that took place with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. And the other is one I made up about a couple in New York.'

It is thought that Madonna will not star in the forthcoming film.

Madonna's Raising Malawi school construction blocked by villagers

A project to build a girl's school in Malawi funded by Madonna has run into problems after villagers sought to block its construction.



A group of around 140 villagers in Chinkhota village, about 10 miles outside the capital Lilongwe are demanding more money for land the government has leased to Madonna's charity – Raising Malawi – for 99 years.

Talks between senior government officials and representatives from the singer's charity have failed to resolve the dispute, the latest controversy for the singer in the African country from which she has adopted two children.

The government has now threated to arrest any villages seeking to prevent the building going ahead.

"If we cannot agree on this and if you cannot understand that this is government land, then I will have no choice but tell police to arrest you people for blocking development work on the site, " Lilongwe Charles Kalimba, the district commissioner, told villagers.

Madonna was in the Central African country last week to start the building project by planting a Moringa tree, a hardy tree with edible leaves.

"If this school is a success – with God willing it will be – we will replicate it not only in Malawi but in other parts of the world as well," she said.

The Raising Malawi Academy for Girls is expected to be completed in two years and will admit 500 girls from the small southern African country's 28 districts. The construction is expected to cost Ł9 million.

Malawi's authorities came under fire after Madonna adopted 13-month-old boy, David Banda, in 2006, with critics accusing them of giving the singer special treatment by skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children.

In June this year, Malawi's highest court overturned a lower-court ruling made in April, which said the pop star could not adopt a four-year-old girl – Mercy James – because the singer was not a resident of the country.

An Aids epidemic has left more than a million children orphaned in Malawi, a country of 13 million people.

"We are protesting because we feel government and Raising Malawi have not been fair ... earlier agreements about how much they were supposed to pay us have been scrapped and now we are being told the land does not belong to us," the village chief, Chinkhota, said after the meeting.

b]Madonna wants to help Rio slums, says governor[/b]

Madonna, who has promoted school building in the African country Malawi, is now turning her star power onto projects to improve the notorious slums of Rio de Janeiro.

The 51-year-old star is in Rio to visit some of the Brazilian city’s slums, or “favelas”, and meet with one of the country’s richest businessmen to discuss setting up social projects, said state Governor Sergio Cabral.

“She will get to know some social projects; she is enchanted with Rio and wants to help,” Cabral said. The beachside city has about 1,000 slums, many of them controlled by violent drug gangs or other armed groups.

A major outbreak of violence last month, which followed Rio’s selection to host the 2016 Olympics, underlined its stubborn security and poverty problems.

Madonna states Brazil visit is 'strictly business'

Madonna has refuted reports she's jetted to Brazil to meet her boyfriend Jesus Luz's family - insisting her visit is strictly business.

The Material Girl landed in Luz's native country this week alongside her beau, fuelling speculation she is to step up the romance by meeting the model's relatives.

But Madonna is adamant she is only in South America for charity work - she plans to visit some of Rio de Janeiro's slums and to discuss setting up some 'social projects' with the city's governor Sergio Cabral.

She tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, 'I am going there strictly for fundraising and humanitarian purposes.'

The singer is also sponsoring a documentary on the children living in slums.
