I'll Remember...1988

"Spotlight", written by Madonna, Stephen Bray and Curtis Hudson, was originally recorded during the 1986 True Blue album recording sessions, but not included because it was too similar in composition and structure to "Holiday".  When she decided to make 'You Can Dance', she asked Shep Pettibone to remix "Spotlight" to included it on the album.  John "Jellybean" Benitez, who had recorded the original demo during the True Blue sessions, assisted Pettibone in remixing the song.  Madonna has said that she was inspired by the song "Everybody Is a Star" by Sly and the Family Stone as the theme of the song.

The song was released commercially in Japan on April 25, 1988. "Spotlight" peaked at number 68 on the Oricon weekly singles chart, remaining on the chart for five weeks.  It was also featured in the last of a series of Japanese TV commercials Madonna filmed for electronics company Mitsubishi.

Oh how I wish she would have released this as a single world wide.  It would have probably pushed the 'You Can Dance' album into the top ten and I am sure 'Spotlight' would have fared well on the charts aswell.  They could have used footage from the commercial above and incorporate scenes from the 'Who's That Girl' tour.  What do you think?

Elton John's Hubby Is STILL Talking Shiz About Madonna!

Can we PLEASE move on from this, already!

To recap - yesterday, Elton John dissed Madonna on the Golden Globes red carpet by saying that she didn't have a "f***ing chance" of winningBest Song…but as it turns out she DID win!  Then, Elton's hubby David Furnish went off on Madge on Facebook, saying the following:  "Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!! Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it's narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is"!  Now, David has opened up further about his disdain regarding Madge's win. Here's what he had to say about it:

"I think it was a fluke…when this happens you have to question the integrity of the awards. Did Madonna get the Golden Globe because she attended the awards and agreed to be a presenter?"

"Can you sing Madonna’s song? Can you hum it? It’s a song nobody has heard, from a film few have seen. The award should have gone to Mary J. Blige or Elton. I like Madonna’s music, but not her movies. She should stick to what she is good at."

We know U and Elton are bummed about Madonna's win, but seriously - it's time to let it go. This trash talking is NOT cool AT ALL.

Who do U side with? Team Madge or Team Elton & Hubby???

The Making of "Human Nature"

Madonna on Graham Norton is a Ratings Success

Graham Norton’s dream guest, Madonna, helped pull him in an extra million viewers for his BBC1 chat show.  An impressive 4.2 million people tuned in to watch the superstar talk about her new film W.E. on Friday night.  The show usually bags just over 3million viewers.  Graham couldn’t stop raving about the singer afterwards. He said: “Still high on Madonna love.”

Lady GaGa Producer To Madonna: “You’re An Old Lady”

And the claws are out!

Yes, it would seem that DJ White Shadow- responsible for much of Lady GaGa‘s work on ‘Born This Way‘- has had quite enough of being labelled a copy cat by Pop icon Madonna.

For, in response to the veteran’s claim that GaGa copied her hit song ‘Express Yourself‘ to create ‘Born‘s lead single of the same, the Chicago based beat maker has shared his uncensored thoughts on the issue.

Taking to his Twitter page, he ranted:

Someone should take there old lady meds before they are allowed to talk in public. No memories having motherf*cker.

I obviously do not hate Madonna, or belittle her talent or achievements, however, if she thinks we stole a song from her she is wrong.If you don’t like what I have to say, unfollow me, f*ck off.

Ouch!

Though there really is no denying that ‘Born This Way’ was indeed ‘inspired’ by ‘EY’, we are very glad that White Shadow decided ‘expressed himself’ in such a public way.

For, it is hilarious if not down right annoying that Ciccone has the cheek to condemn anyone for copying her, when she herself has shamelessly ‘swagger jacked’ the likes Cher, Marilyn Monroe, Cyndi Lauper, and dare we say Bananarama, at various points in her career.

Only time will tell just how this ‘drama’ will play out, and if GaGa herself will ever respond to Madonna’s claims.

WORST DRESSED LIST

That's A Lot Of Material, Girl!

It's been 14 years since Madonna worked the Golden Globes red carpet, but absence has not made our hearts grow fonder of her fashions. This Reem Acra gown is gorgeous on top, but the skirt is overwhelming her with what appears to be an origami fabric explosion.

While Madonna took home the award for Best Original Song for 'Masterpiece,' from her directorial debut 'W.E.,' the icon disappointed in a cluttered Reem Acra gown. She did however, get the night's biggest laughs upon accepting her award, joking, 'If I’m still like a virgin, Ricky, then why don’t you come over here and do something about it?'

The winner for best original song opted for a Reem Acra gown. Unfortunately there is just too much going on here metallic, gathers, jewels, gloves...Her look is confusing.

Michelle Williams and Madonna were big winners at the Golden Globes, but unfortunately their red carpet looks didn't take home any awards.

The My Week With Marilyn star looked dowdy in her Jason Wu gown, while the Material Girl piled on way too much material, between her accessories and the busy Reem Acra gown, and wound up a bit of a hot mess.

Dislike: Alright, if this dress had just one of the elements, it would still not be our favorite, but the gloves? Really, Madonna? Those should have been left in the 1980s when you first started wearing them.

What do you think of Madonna's choice of dress?

Elton John's Hubby SLAMS MADONNA on Facebook!

Elton John's husband David Furnish LASHED OUT at Madonna following her victory speech at the Golden Globes last night ... saying it was "embarrassing in it's narcissism."

Moments after Madge won the statue for Best Original Song, Furnish went to his Facebook page and WENT OFF ... writing, "Madonna. Best song???? F**k off!!!"

  For the record -- Elton was nominated in the same category and seemed pissed off in the crowd when Madonna's name was read.

But David continued on Facebook ... writing, "Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it's narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is."

Elton seemed particularly bitter towards Madonna BEFORE the awards ... telling one reporter on the red carpet he believed Madge had no "f**kin' chance" of emerging victorious.

WINNER WINNER WINNER!

YES!!!!!!

Who would have thought Sir Elton John would be the grand dame to get the most camera face time on the Golden Globes last night? During the arrivals show, Carson Daly interviewed the singer, who recieved a nomination for his song ‘Gnomeo and Juliet’. Going on to say, his longterm nemesis Madonna “has no f*cking chance of winning”. So, what happened? Madonna wins! Best Original Song: ‘Masterpiece’ for ‘W.E’. They cut to Elton’s face which was a sorry ass picture of bitterness and contempt. Relax relate release, children!

Such a glorious win! Such an amazing kick off to what is sure to be a spectacular year!

A very surprised Madonna accepted the award for Best Original Song for Masterpiece, as heard in her new movie W.E.

We love the story she told about how the song came to be!

P.S. - DON'T EVER TURN THE MUSIC UP ON MADONNA AGAIN! DO YOU HEAR US!

LICK!

Madonna Slams Janet Jackson…Again?

Pop megastar Madonna has, over the years, made no secret of her penchant for causing controversy. And, with a new album on the horizon, it seems the 53 year old is digging into her old bag of tricks.

Indeed, seemingly discontent with her subtle, yet detectable digs at Lady GaGa, her Madgesty has reportedly sunk her claws into fellow Pop icon and longtime rival –Janet Jackson.

The singer’s pre-album promotional trail saw her recently tape an episode of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, where she said the following of her upcomingSuperbowl performance…

Via Twitter / Ryan Seacrest:

Granted the ladies “spat” is nothing new (peep video below), I’m going to need Madge to have several seats. It’s not like anyone would want to see half a century old tata’s anyway, remember those photos that leaked a few months back? She’s promising no “nip-slips”, yet this coming from the woman who’s been flogging her vage to anyone who’ll look – even at 53.  We hope her performance can match up to all the shade she’s been doing lately. Because, while it may have worked then, it’s certainly coming across as redundant now. Anyways, can't knock her for being herself what ever her age is.  Gotta LUV her for that!

Madge On Why She Dates Man Children

ABC has chopped up Cynthia McFadden's interview with Madge and has sold it off in parts to Nightline (aired last night), Good Morning America(aired today) and 20/20 (airing tonight), and so the quotes are slowly trickling out like water torture. On Nightline last night, Madge kicked CaCa's tuck out again by saying "Born This Way" sounds "reductive." This bitch really used the word reductive like she's a spelling bee judge or some shit. Like she was helping Lourdes with some English homework that afternoon and barely learned the word. The way she said it too. Madge said it while smugly patting her smart gene. By the way, "reductive" basically means "simple" in pretentiouscuntanese. Moving on....

Cynthia also brought up the fact Madge's last piece Baby Jesus was only ten seconds out of the manger and her new piece Baby Brahim still has his mother's womb jelly stuck up in his ass crack. Cynthia asked Madge why she's always spreading her cougar coochie on boy toys who haven't yet mastered the art of lifting up the toilet seat before taking a pee pee.

"I didn’t choose to, you know, I didn’t, like, write down on a piece of paper I’m now going to have a relationship with a younger man. That’s just what happened. You see, that’s the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age.”

"I didn't choose to"? To quote everybody who stands in front of Kim Kardashian before she opens her mouth to say something: NOW YOU KNOW THAT'S A LIE! After being with a dude (Guy Ritchie) who didn't keep his mouth shut, Madge likes to be the one holding the whip in a relationship and so she chooses fuck pieces who will gladly hand the deed to their ballsacks to her and won't curse back because they can barely speak English! No hate from me. I guess when you're around a bunch of bitches who will do everything you say all day, you just want to go home and surround yourself with a bunch of bitches who will do everything you say all night. Makes sense!

Here's the full interview from Nightline last night and I sort of love that 24-year-old Brahim refuses to massage her centaur hooves. I'm sure Brahim won't make that mistake again after Madge punished him by ordering her henchman to cut off his auntie's feet and deliver them to her on a platter:

And will somebody let Madge know that we already have one Dowager Countess of Grantham and we don't need another, so she can finally quit the Downton Abbey act.

She's Still Got It! Madonna Absolutely CREAMS The Competition With Nightline Appearance!

The Queen of Pop is GREAT for Nightline's ratings! They should invite her back more often!

Last night, Madonna was interviewed on ABC's Nightline (above), where she opened up about claims that Lady GaGa has been copying her from day one.

Now, the ratings have arrived, and it looks like Madge brought in a 3.3/8rating for Nightline! Wowsa!

To give U an idea of how good that is, other late night shows did as follows:

- Late Show with David Letterman (2.9/7)

- The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (2.9/7)

- Jimmy Kimmel Live (1.6/5)

Congratulations, Madonna! We are very, very impressed!!!

...and you can DANCE!

Madonna Thinks MDMA Will Get Leaked

At least she's keeping her cool about all of this!
To recap - last month, a Madonna "super fan" was arrested for leaking a bunch of songs from her new album.
Then last week, we heard reports that Madge was on "the hunt" for an associate in her camp whom she believes was working with the "super fan."
Looks like she's still on the hunt, because during her upcoming interview with Graham Norton, Madonna says that she expects her new album to get leaked.





Here's what she had to say about it to Graham when asked about the album's release date:
  "It's soon. It depends how quickly people hack in to my server and leak it. Can people wait? It's terrible."


We'll cross our fingers that everything goes smoothly with the new album release, but even if it does get leaked, U can be sure that WE'LL still pick up a copy when it officially comes out!
What do U think? Will the new Madonna album make its way onto the Internet early???

Bid On An Evening With Madonna For Charity!

This it. This is YOUR chance to meet and hang with the one and onlyMadonna!

In order to raise money for the J/P Hatian Relief Organization (J/P HRO), a nonprofit founded by her ex-husband Sean Penn, Madonna is auctioning off a chance for two lucky fans to attend the New York premiere and after party of her new film W.E.!

Sure, the small print makes it very clear your meeting with the Queen of pop will be "very brief" (with a photo opportunity, of course), but c'mon, it's Madonna!

We'd be happy just being in the same room as her so we could run and tell all our friends we breathed the same air too! LOLz!

The film directed by the music icon explores the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson. After one day, the prize package is currently up to $8,000 on CharityBuzz, but there is still plenty of time to bid since it closes on Thursday, January 19.
