Antonio Banderas was 'afraid' of Madonna's attentions

 

Antonio Banderas was terrified after finding out Madonna had him set in her sights, and refused to date the pop superstar because she was too 'powerful'.

The Material Girl famously flaunted her crush on the Spanish hunk in her outrageous 1991 documentary In Bed With Madonna, which saw her flirt with a shy Banderas at a party in Spain.

The actor admits he was a nervous wreck in Madonna's presence - because he couldn't speak English and didn't know how to fend her off.

He tells Harper's Bazaar, 'I couldn't speak English at the time. She said a lot of things at the table when we were having dinner - I couldn't understand s**t. I was just flipping out that I was sitting down close to Madonna. She was very famous already, and we were just local people.'

'It was kind of flattering when somebody said, 'She likes you, a lot.' I said, 'Oh, really? I've no idea what I should do about this. I mean, I'm married (to first wife, Ana Leza).' So, nothing happened.'

'I was afraid of it at the time, because she was a very powerful woman. I didn't want to be Madonna's boy. For good or for bad, I just wanted to have my own career.'

The pair went on to star in the 1996 movie musical Evita together.

Madonna and others Campaign for Africa

 

A-list stars like Madonna, Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber and Eminem have joined hands to support Save the Children’s “I’m Gonna Be Your Friend” campaign. Using their social media power, they aim to raise funds and awareness for the drought, medicine and food crisis in East Africa.

 

The campaign is kicked off on Tuesday, August 9 with the celebrities taking to their Twitter or Facebook pages to raise awareness. Britney Spears was among the early ones, tweeting “Just got @BobMarley’s “High Tide or Low Tide” – proceeds go to children in #EastAfrica. U all can help #beafriend -Brit”.

 

Bob Marley’s tune was personally chosen by his family to accompany a Kevin Macdonald-directed short movie about the appalling condition in Africa. The singer’s widow Rita said, “Not one child should be denied food nor water. Not one child should suffer. Along with Save the Children, we must stand up together as friends to put a stop to this, to feed our children and to save their lives.”

 

The video would be sold digitally with all proceeds going to Save the Children. The celebrities will continue raising the awareness until they have an audience of 700 million.

Get into the Groove

 

"It's important to challenge your body with new exercises, and adding a jump rope into the mix is a great way to do this."

Andy Butler talks Madonna

 

…that rebellious spirit stuck, and Butler remains active on the vanguard of gay politics. But of the music of a certain other gay rights advocate, he says: “What is the first thing to come out of a baby’s mouth? ‘Gaga.’ And what is it but children’s music? It’s middle-aged gay men dancing around to music for 11-year-old girls.” Madonna, he says, had more about her, but he thinks she’s lost touch a bit herself. His advice? “She needs to make an age-appropriate record that still appeals to young people. There should be no rapping on it. She should acknowledge the people that grew up with her, but she needs to hook them back in. Deep house is having a revival. Why doesn’t she do a deep-house track? But a sophisticated, subtle deep-house track. I could help her with that.”

"Interviewing Madonna was a career highlight. She was surprisingly warm, incredibly intelligent and wonderfully thick-skinned. An amazing woman."

 

This much I know: TV presenter Dermot O'Leary, telling today's Observer what he knows about birds, heroes and interviewing Madonna.

Billboard: Best MTV VMA Performances - Results

 

In celebration of the 2011 MTV VMA's, Billboard.com recently asked it's readers to vote what they thought were the best VMA performances of all time.

 

Well, the results have now been published. To the surprise of no one the Queen of Pop 'Madonna' has two of her performances rank in the top 10!

 

First was her 1990 'Vogue' performance that came in #6:

'Talk about a cultural mashup: Madonna and co., clad in 18th century Marie Antoinette garb, taught the world how to Vogue, a performance style popularized in underground gay dance clubs of the '80s. Cue in one incredibly animated pants-less dancer, and VMA magic is made.'

 

Next was the 2003 Madonna 20th Anniversary performance, that came in at #4:

'The Madonna-Britney kiss! Could we talk about anything else the day after the 2003 VMAs? And poor Christina, the camera cutting away as her and Madge lip-locked. The memorable medley kicked off with Britney and Christina Aguilera paying homage to Madonna's infamous 'Like a Virgin' performance at the 1984 VMAs, topped off with Madonna - dressed as a groom - performing 'Hollywood.' But let's be real, the kiss was all that really mattered to the masses.'

 

This megamix is amazing!! :o :w00t:

In the offer letter sent out to Madonna’s rep on behalf of Cougar Life President Claudia Opdenkelder, they state: “To us, Madonna is without a doubt the queen of Cougars, and therefore, we at CougarLife are extremely interested in exploring a unique partnership with you.”

 

The letter also states that if Madonna’s “CougarLife Song” should enter the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart she will receive a $200,000 bonus and if the video gets 100,000,000 hits she’ll bag an extra $500,000.

Mel C chooses her top ten female performers

 

Singer and former Spice Girl Mel C picks her most inspiring singers - and Madonna is included in her top ten:

 

I go way back with Madonna. I remember being embarrassed by the lyrics to Like A Virgin as a child, but I was secretly blown away. She’s the artist who made me want to be a pop star, and as a kid I learnt all the songs and routines. She’s a performer who really pushed the boundaries.

People compare Lady Gaga to Madonna, but while I have a lot of respect for Lady Gaga, Madonna did all the groundwork for artists like her. She’s completely in control of her career, has an amazing work ethic and pays real attention to every aspect of her image.

Her videos have always been spectacular; her shows are massive events. I’ve seen her several times – the first was The Girlie Show in 1993. That was a really breathtaking show. If I had to pick one of her albums it would be Ray Of Light.
