Mystery Solved! Madonna Viral Instagram Pic Was Israeli Gay Party Ad By Naomi Zeveloff

Sorry, Madonna fans, but the Material Girl’s provocative Instagram photo of a Jewish man and an Arab man about to lock lips isn’t quite what it seems. The photo is actually of two Israeli Jews: Imri Kalmann, 28, and Dekel Aiden, 24, two Tel Aviv party promoters who host a periodic gay club party called Dreck. “I am not really Orthodox and he is not really Palestinian,” said Kalmann.

The picture first appeared last summer on a poster promoting a Dreck party in Tel Aviv. Kalmann said his team planned on something racier, but changed its concept after the start of Israel’s war with Gaza. “We decided to do a photo shoot to say something that we feel regarding the war.” In the picture, Kalmann is wearing a skullcap with Hebrew lettering and fake side curls that he purchased at a costume shop. Aiden is wearing a keffiyeh, or Palestinian national scarf, from Nazareth.

Drake and Madonna used to be friendly enough to swap spit, and now they’re on the rocks. Not that they were dating to begin with, but the Toronto rapper dissed Madge at the Houston kickoff of his Jungle Tour last night, by replacing her with Rihanna — in song.

It happened while Drake was performing “Madonna” off If You’re Reading This It’s too Late. Instead of the “you could be big as Madonna” line, Drizzy crooned “you could be big as Rihanna,” and the crowd cheered in approval.

The 28-year-old has shouted Rih Rih out in his performances before, Madonna on the other hand, scored her first official Drizzy diss last night. A subtle dose of shade never hurts though, plus Rih Rih said she wanted to be the "Black Madonna," so maybe Madge should take this one as a compliment.

Either way, the 56-year-old Material Girl should’ve expected a retaliation shot from October’s Own, being that she dissed him after their infamously awkward “Coachella kiss.”

Strike a Pose...1984

NEWS: Miami New Times.

MADONNA RESCHEDULES REBEL HEART TOUR KICKOFFS IN MIAMI, THREE OTHER DATES

Madonna’s been a bad girl. Basically, her entire life. Right now, though, we’re referring specifically to the bad, bad, bad news that this bad, bad, bad girl just broke about having to cancel her Rebel Heart Tour kickoff shows, a two-night stand in Miami. But that’s not all. Naughty Ms. Madonna Louise Ciccone is also nixing the next night’s show in Atlanta and two more concerts in Puerto Rico.

"I can promise you this show will be worth the wait,” she tries to console us in her official announcement of the delay.

From Work To Play! Diplo And Madonna Are Dating

Selena Gomez and Zedd. Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris. Now another DJ is dating yet another singer, but not just any old pop star: Diplo is dating the Queen of Pop, Madonna!

A new report says that Madonna, 56, and the 36-year-old DJ are hooking up outside of the studio. The pair collaborated together on the singer’s new album, Rebel Heart. They also recently went to the Met Gala as dates together and were photographed together all night!

But according to the report, it’s more than just getting hot and heavy in the studio and in the bedroom. “It’s not just all bedroom fun. They have intense conversations about art and fashion, and they nerd out on music knowledge.”

Madonna is not the first pop star Diplo has gone after. The DJ/producer recently dated Katy Perry and was in a long relationship with singer M.I.A., both of whom he also worked with on songs.
