Madonna at the W.E. Premiere in London


Madonna creates Twitter frenzy by naming new album MDNA

Madonna
Madonna may be over 50 but she still knows how to create a buzz with Twitter going crazy after the singer revealed the name of her new album would be MDNA.
The pop icon, 53, revealed the album title during an interview filmed for The Graham Norton Show this afternoon.  She told the TV host it would be called MDNA as she is 'currently into initials' and 'unless I change my mind'.

Fans quickly took to Twitter to debate whether the title was inspired by the drug MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, and if the singer was actually joking.

jodieharsh tweeted: 'Madonna's new album is called MDNA?!!! It's kind of lol, kind of genius, kind of an obvious drug reference. Proper club album please, love?!'

Freudenschade posted: 'If the new #Madonna album is going to be called 'MDNA' then the tour had better be called 'Crack Ciccone'.'

CocoMarieMusic said: 'MDNA is a cool album name, obviously only because it's Madonna, otherwise it'd be a random collection of letters loosely resembling a drug.'

But not everyone was impressed with stuarthoughton writing: 'MDNA is the active ingredient in Meh-cstasy.'

Richie_Simmons joked: 'MDNA trending. Must be a lot of dyslexics on MDMA.'

ErinCarrington Erin Carrington added: 'Reckon Madonna would've been better off calling her album HP RPLCMNT #MDNA.'

The first single to be released off MDNA is Gimme All Your Luvin' which will feature Nicki Minaj and MIA.

Madonna Announces Album Title: ‘MDNA’

Today, during a pre-recorded interview that will be aired on Friday’s upcoming episode of The Graham Norton Show, Madonna told host Graham Norton that her upcoming 12th studio album (due out in March) will be called MDNA, according to Glamour. MDNA? The first thing that comes to mind? Drugs! The second thing: Madonna DNA. Cute. Meanwhile, lead single “Give Me All Your Luvin’” is apparently set to impact radio in the States on February 7, i.e. mere days after the singer/director’s film W.E. hits theaters and she performs during halftime at the Super Bowl. That Madonna, always using her noggin.

Madonna joked with Norton about her album’s release date. “It’s soon. It depends how quickly people hack in to my server and leak it,” she apparently said. “Can people wait? It’s terrible.”

Madge seemed to be less tongue-in-cheek — and more careful about her word choice — when commenting on Lady Gaga, who the Internet loves to pit her against. “When I first saw her I was really impressed by her and she was cool. She did remind me of me back in the day,” Madonna noted, according to Glamour. “I do think she is very talented.”


 



What do you think of the title of MDNA for Madonna’s upcoming album — clever or totally WTF?

Madonna Asked Her Former Husbands For Directing Tips


When directing her new film W.E. Madonna leaned on two very important men in her life for support; Guy Ritchie and Sean Penn.

Madge says:"I watched closely what both Sean and Guy did. With Sean, I saw the importance of rehearsal and preparing and doing as much work as you can ahead of being on set.
Guy is a much more visual director and he takes a lot of chances and risks when it comes to camera moves and things like that. And I learned a lot from him in that respect."
She seriously learned from the best so this movie better be awesome!
LOL of course it will be. It is magical Madge, after all.  Thank goodness she's still on friendly terms with her exes. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Quote of the Day

"If you want to do anything right, you have to put your heart and soul into it. There are always challenges, and you have to be prepared to go to the wall and be on your knees to get something done correctly, so if you don't love something then it's just going to feel like a form of torture with no reward. Love your work and no sacrifice will be too big or too small. My other advice is: if you want the job done right, do it yourself. Sorry to use that tired old cliche, but it is true."

Into the Groove...

Don't Wanna Lose This Groove - Dannii Minogue

This is a wicked mashup between "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" and "Into the Groove".  Inspired by bootleg recordings being made in the UK, Minogue sent Madonna a copy of the mashup for her legal approval. Madonna, an artist who rarely approves of others using her music, called it "brilliant". Minogue called the approval "the biggest, most amazing thing". 

Damn...this is one of my favorite mashups!

Here Come The Claws

Thank the heavens, FINALLY, something interesting happened. Somewhere between the fifty RUSSELL AND KATY SPLIT articles and watching paint dry, Michael K pulled a little gem out of his no-no that will make all of our black hearts smirk with satisfaction. Celebitchy reports that the World Bitch Slap Championship has been scheduled at the Golden Globe Awards, and the headliners are Angelina Jolie and Madonna. I usually avoid the celebs-slobbering-on-themselves awards shows like LeAnn Rhimes avoids a cheeseburger, but suddenly the GGs are sparking my interest.
This battle has been brewing for awhile. Back in 2006, when Madonna adopted her son David, Angie threw shade all over her ass in an interview where she said “Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where (David) was born. It’s a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.” Hahaha that Angie, always making jokes. Apparently Angie didn't like Madge muscling in on her save the children territory, and thought her copy-cat ass should stick to thrusting her memaw crotch in time to her music. Anyway, the bad blood has continued to flow between these two in a passive-aggressive death by a thousand cuts fest since then.
Guy Ritchieand Brad Pitt were really good friends and hung out every chance they got. So that brings us to the Golden Globes, where Madonna's W.E. has gotten nods for music and technical awards and Angelina's In the Land of Blood and Honey has a Best Foreign Film nomination. It will be the first time the two are nose job to cheek implant. God please, if you will seat them at adjoining tables, I will never smoke weed again!!! Okay, only on days ending in Y. I swear though, I will give it up permanently if MK drunk blogs and it goes a little something like this.

“Turn Up The Radio” Demo


Martin Solveig and Sunday girl recorded a track titled “Turn Up The Radio” earlier this year. Solveig has been playing it during live sets but we have yet to receive a studio version of the track. It was also rumored to be included on Martin Solveig’s 2011 effort Smash but obviously never made the cut and now it comes with good reason.
Muumuse and Hard Candy Music are now reporting that the stellar dance track is set to make the cut for the new Madonan album and is already being considered for single treatment! Judging by the demo, it should definitely be a single!  Beautiful sweeping synths take charge for “Turn Up The Radio”, I can totally hear Madonna on a record like this!
In other Madge briefings, Benny Benassi, William Orbit, and Stuart Price (my personal fave) are all said to be involved in official mixing for the new single “Gimme All Your Luvin”. Not surprising considering the Queen has worked with all 3 producers before on previous projects.
Listen to the live demo of “Turn Up The Radio” below, what do you think?
