Liza Minnelli on Madonna and Gaga: ??As for Madonna?.?.?.?‘I think she’s terrific. When I’m chatting to her, she’s just normal, the opposite of grand. We’ll meet in a restaurant with friends. Or hang out at a party. She’s always interesting and interested. She’s smart as hell and keeps her eyes peeled. She misses nothing.’ She adds: ‘Gaga and Madonna have realised the value of shock. But why not? You need to do anything you can in this business to get noticed. And they’ve both done it brilliantly. ‘In a way, I started that with the Sally Bowles look, the cropped black hair, the lashes. It was a look that became important. It went round the world.’ ????

Postal Service to put living Americans on stamps
Could Bruce Springsteen bail out the U.S. Postal Service? How about Oprah? Is the twisted allure of using Madonna to send out your Progress Energy bill enough for you to ditch online banking and bust it old school? In a move to stave off financial woes and death-watch buzz, the U.S. Postal Service on Monday announced that, for the first time, living Americans will be eligible to have their proud visages smacked on stamps. Surely you remember stamps: tiny, sticky, square-y. Before we all filed our taxes electronically and wrote love letters with our thumbs, we used to do things the old-fashioned way. You know, mail stuff. Originally, someone would have to be dead 25 years before they were considered for grand stampitude. The Postal Service eventually dropped that time limit to 10 years and then, in January 2007, to five years. Now, in hopes of reviving business - the USPS lost $2.2 billion in the second quarter of this fiscal year - select famous folks will enjoy their postage prestige while they can still hear people complain about the choice. 'The main criterion (for the honor) is outstanding contribution to the U.S.,' says Stephen Kearney, executive director of stamp services for the Postal Service. 'We tried not to limit it up front,' he adds, 'although it is unlikely we would consider any politician currently serving in office or running for office.' So President Barack Obama is out, and probably Sarah Palin, too. You have to be American. So bye-bye, Canada's Justin Bieber. Such luminaries as Michael Jordan, Ellen DeGeneres and Rush Limbaugh, as well as the Boss, Oprah and the Material Girl, have been suggested on the USPS Stamps Facebook page. The Postal Service gets 40,000 suggestions for stamp honors every year; typically 50 finalists are selected, with the ultimate vote going to the postmaster general. Postal officials aren't sure how this gambit will pan out, but they're excited about the reaction. 'It's not that there aren't enough deceased people to honor,' laughs Kearney. 'We're just hoping to be more timely, relevant and meaningful.' From St. Petersburg Times |

5 History Making Music Videos: Like A Virgin / Material Girl
Madonna “Like a Virgin” (1984) “Material Girl” (1985) A lion and a junket to Italy made her the first true video star. Les Garland, MTV VP of Programming: Freddy DeMann had managed the Jacksons and Michael, but he got fired by the dad, Joe Jackson. One afternoon, Freddy phoned and said, “I got one that’s gonna be huge. She’s gonna be bigger than Michael.” I go, “Dude, you’ve got big balls.” “Trust me, Gar. Her name is Madonna.” Susan Silverman, Warner Bros. Exec: Madonna came into our office on a skateboard, all sweaty and dirty. She went to see Bob Regehr—a big product manager at Warner Bros.—and left a note on his bulletin board that said, “Sorry I missed you, because I’m gonna be a star.” Mary Lambert, Director: Ayeroff[then a Warner Bros. exec.] wanted to position her with a little more integrity and depth. He gave me the song “Borderline” and bought me a plane ticket to New York to go meet her. When I heard her music, I thought she was black. She was living in a bare-bones apartment on the Upper East Side. It didn’t look like anyone lived there, to tell you the truth. There wasn’t any furniture. But we hit it off. She had four or five different boyfriends at the time. We talked for a couple of days about “Borderline.” She was really into Hispanic boys, and she wanted the video to be about having an affair with a cute Hispanic boy who was part of the street scene. Ayeroff: MTV jumped on “Borderline,” and that was it. Away we go. Lambert: For “Like a Virgin,” Ayeroff said, “We want to do something outrageous.” I said, “Let’s do it in Venice!” The idea of Madonna singing in a gondola was the most outrageous thing I could think of. Ayeroff: By that point, Madonna was on the cover of Rolling Stone. So we went to Venice, like a bunch of f***ing wack jobs. I don’t know what we spent—$175,000?—but it was way more than we’d ever spent on a video. Lambert: There’s this famous carnival in Venice where everyone wears masks. Madonna’s love interest in the video wore a lion mask, and that gave me the idea to get a real lion. I wanted to have the guy in the lion mask turn into an actual lion. Simon Fields, Video Producer: The lion started to get crazy around Madonna. And then we found out that you can’t have a lion around a woman when she’s on her period. Sharon Oreck, Video Producer: Madonna’s breasts are super-perky, so they tend to pop out when she dances. In the “Material Girl” video, she’s wearing a pink outfit, and I guess it didn’t have a bra, so whenever she’d go upside down or lay back with her arms in the air, one or two of her boobs would come out.I was on the set when she first met Sean Penn. She was in her Marilyn Monroe finery. We all knew they were going to fall in love and get married. Freddy Demann: People often misunderstand the “Material Girl” video. The idea was that Madonna was a Marilyn Monroe–type actress playing the role of a gold digger—a “material girl”—in a musical, but off-camera she was a good person. She chooses the poor guy in the shitty car instead of the rich guy. But everyone assumed Madonna was identifying with the material girl. The title stuck to her, and that bothered her. She never liked that handle. New York Magazine |

Ken Regan on Madonna Photosession
“I arrived at four a.m. and checked into the Mondrian hotel… As the elevator doors were closing, I lunged to open them and get in. Inside the car, judging by her trashy/chic style, was what I thought to be someone resembling a hooker. She got off on my floor and went to the end of the hallway. I went the other way.” “I went down to the studio to await her arrival. When Madonna walked in without any media handlers (which I loved), I nearly fell over: It’s the woman from the elevator!” mediabistro.com |

Nile Rodgers' Memoir Features Madonna's Early Diva Days
'Le Freak,' out this week, chronicles the Chic singer and mega-producer's rags-to-riches rise with colorful anecdotes about David Bowie, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and other stars of the time. With his band Chic and later on his own, Nile Rodgers helped define the sound of the late 1970s and early 1980s. From songs like 'Le Freak' and 'Good Times,' which he co-wrote with longtime musical partner Bernard Edwards, to seminal albums by David Bowie (Let’s Dance), Madonna (Like A Virgin) and Diana Ross (Diana), all multi-platinum smashes he produced, few modern-day musicians can claim a professional past so storied, much of it experienced under the ever-present haze of drugs and alcohol. Among the many recording studio anecdotes was one detailed recounting of Rodgers' time working with Madonna on her 1984 breakout album, Like A Virgin. 'Madonna's superintense let's-get-down-to-business attitude sometimes rubbed people the wrong way,' he writes. 'One day, Madonna's insult slinging went too far. Our assistant had the temerity to go to the bathroom, and she freaked out on him.... 'Where the f*** is he going?' she said loudly enough that he could clearly hear. Unsatisfied, that she's made her point, she then let off a fusillade from her usual arsenal of one-liners: 'Time is money, and the money is mine.'' Rodgers confronted the would-be pop star and the argument turned so heated, he quit the record for what would turn out to be 'the shortest producer strike in history.' |

Madonna distressed by stalker
Madonna has told a court of how she was left “alarmed and distressed” after a man broke into her London home. In a statement, the singer said she feared for her children’s safety when Grzegorz Matlok, 30, managed to get into her house in March. A judge ordered the Polish national to be detained indefinitely in a psychiatric hospital, as he posed a serious risk to the singer. He is also banned from going within 100 metres of any of Madonna’s properties. Mr Matlok broke into the singer’s house after smashing a window and using a rope and scaffolding to enter the property through a first floor window. He was found to have rifled through Madonna’s bedclothes before stealing a can of Red Bull from the kitchen, where he was discovered by film director Nathan Rissman. A map with a large “M” scrawled over Madonna’s home and a bag containing a safety knife, nail scissors, a coach ticket from Poland and Matlok’s passport were found in a bag outside the property. Mr Matlock, who travelled to England from Poland three days prior to the incident, later told police that the singer had given him permission to stay at the property. A year previously, he had sneaked into the Wiltshire estate Madonna used to share with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie and was caught putting on his clothes. In her statement, Madonna said: “I do not know the defendant, I’ve not had any form of relationship with the defendant nor have I had any form of contact by phone or by email, or by any other way, with the defendant. “In particular I’ve never given the defendant permission to enter the premises or any of my other premises. “It is extremely unsettling to know that, despite the extensive security I have, he has been able to break into two of my residential properties. “I’m worried about my children’s safety as well as the safety of my staff.” The court heard that Mr Matlok suffered from “delusions that Madonna loved him” but, according to consultant psychiatrist Dr Nadji Kahtan, his schizophrenia could be controlled by medication. In making her ruling at Southwark Crown Court, judge Deborah Taylor told Mr Matlok: “It is the view of the doctors’ that if you fail to take medication you pose a risk to Madonna Ciccone of real harm.” BBC News |

Madonna: Women Want The 'Perfect' Man
Madonna wants to be 'swept off her feet' by the 'perfect' man. The 53-year-old star - who has previously been married to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie and is currently dating 24-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat - believes women all have similar expectations about love, though she knows she is responsible for her own happiness. She told Britain's Hello! magazin: 'We women still want what we've always wanted. So much has changed for us over the last few decades, in that we have the opportunity for better education, for many different kinds of jobs, for being independent in ourselves.' 'But we all still find ourselves wanting the same thing at the same time - to be swept off our feet by the perfect man.' 'We all think that perfect love is going to change our lives immensely. And of course love does change your life. But what we also have to understand is that happiness lies in our own hands, not someone else's.' The 'Hung Up' hitmaker - whose directorial debut, 'W.E' is released in January - insists no one has ever given up their 'kingdom' for her but she wouldn't want anyone to make big sacrifices for her happiness. She added: 'No one's ever given up their kingdom for me yet. And to tell you the truth, I wouldn't want them to.' 'When a man gives up his kingdom for you, then it's your job to make him feel like he's still a king for the rest of his life. That's a tall order.' From contactmusic.com |
