From the article by Kyle Anderson on EW.com:

In todays media universe, there are two ways to get big. The first is to put your heart into your craft, work tirelessly toward promoting that art, and associate yourself with like-minded individuals who will help push and challenge you as you move forward.

 

Or you can just talk to a magazine and say some terrible things about people more famous than you. In a not-at-all-surprising turn of events, international superstar and electronic head piece enthusiast deadmau5 (real, less silly name: Joel Zimmerman) spent part of his interview in the new issue of Rolling Stone talking smack about Madonna and David Guetta.

 

For those of you who might not pay attention to the ramblings of a DJ, Zimmerman got upset a few months ago when Madonna made references to molly (slang for the active ingredient in ecstasy) at the Ultra Music Festival.

He took to Twitter to blast her, and apparently it still sticks in his craw. "That's like talking about slavery at a blues concert," Zimmerman told Rolling Stone magazine. He also referred to the Material Girl as a "funky grandma."

"If youre gonna come into my world, at least do it with a little more dignity," he added.

 

He wasnt done tearing down other people who have helped make his brand of music profitable and palpable for the pop masses. "David Guetta has two iPods and a mixer and he just plays tracks," Zimmerman said. "Like, Heres one with Akon, check it out! Even Skrillex isnt doing anything too technical. He has a laptop and a MIDI recorder, and hes just playing his s-."

Making friends and influencing people - thats the deadmau5 way!

 

What do you think of his attacks on Madonna, Guetta, and Skrillex? Does Madonna owe it to anybody, considering she was mainstreaming dance music well before Zimmerman knew what a crossfade was? And isnt comparing getting high at a rave to slavery a pretty absurdly facile analogy? Actually, well go ahead and answer that last one: Yes. Yes it is.

Thank You, Madonna, for Still Being Madonna

From the brilliant piece by Michelangelo Signorile on the Huffington Post:

Daytime TV host Wendy Williams got herself all worked up over Madonna's flashing of her bare breast two weeks ago during a concert in Istanbul, asking, "Okay old lady how desperate can we get?" The women on "The View" also weren't having it, and neither were Star Jones and ad man Donny Deutsch on the "Today" show. But I think they're all missing the point, and definitely not getting the context.

 

Yes, Madonna is striking out at the ageist critics who say woman of her age should act a certain way. In that sense she's doing what she's always done, pushing buttons about how women are supposed to behave. Now it's simply about how 50-something-year-old women are to behave. And yes, she has great breasts, on a par with those of many 30-year-olds, so why shouldn't she flaunt them?

 

But more significant is context, lost on the critics entirely. Madonna didn't show her nipple in New York or Los Angeles or Miami. She did it in Turkey, a predominantly Muslim country where many women do not show much of their bodies in public, and where women's rights are under attack by a conservative government, sending many marching into the streets in recent weeks.

 

Back in the 1980s, when Madonna burst on the scene, the U.S. was in a scary place on the issue of homosexuality. For a generation of gay men, Madonna was our antidote. As our friends died around us during the callous Reagan era, as conservatives like William F. Buckley Jr. called for putting tattoos on people with AIDS, as Senator Jesse Helms was writing laws against us, Madonna was pushing back culturally. She struck at the Catholic church. She flaunted sexuality. She crashed through stereotypes about gender. She did in those very oppressive years what Lady Gaga does for gays more overtly in this much more gay-accepting time.

 

So, by assertively flashing her nipple in Istanbul, Madonna was, in the cultural realm, doing something similar for the women of Turkey, perhaps helping to liberate them just a little bit. And what would she follow that up with? A few days later, last week in Rome, she flashed her butt to the crowd. I happened to be in Rome, and I got a chuckle when some in the Italian media actually took note that Madonna's ass was facing the Vatican. Was she mooning the Pope?

 

Last night I appeared with PR guru Howard Bragman on Joy Behar's new show on Current TV, and Howard made the point that Wendy Williams scored simply by having her name in the same headline with Madonna's.That may be true. But Madonna always scores bigger in these battles, and with her, so do we all.

With her array of playful kitschy style stage outfits and rainbow of hair colours, she is clearly a star who prefers to keeps up an ever-changing image.

And this month is no different for Katy Perry who appears on the cover of Italian L'Uomo Vogue magazine with short curly blonde hair, as she reveals she is keen to emulate another successful pop artist.

'I think Madonna, especially early in his career, when she was laying the foundations of her character, has been able to evolve constantly, managing to give the audience at every appearance a new visual interpretation and concept of herself,' Katy tells the magazine in the accompanying interview.

'She was able to keep up the interest of the people, because you never knew with what she would come out with the next time.'

'And, regularly, has offered a solid and consistent musical product,' Katy added. 'I hope to do the same, to make sure that people continue to be interested in me and in ten years, to find out, looking back, I have produced songs that will never be forgotten.'

Katy B has defended Madonna's decision to experiment with dubstep on her latest album, saying that everyone has the right to try whichever style the want.

 

Madonna has faced criticism from critics as well as fans of electronic music for what they see as The Material Girl jumping on the dubstep bandwagon whilst it is the flavour of the month. However, speaking exclusively to Gigwise, Katy said that she herself may not have made dubstep tunes were it not for the fact it was the music her friends were making at the time.

 

"The thing is to stay a relevant artist you have to evolve. If she went and made 'Like A Prayer' again it would be a bit boring. To stay interesting you have to work with your contemporaries. I think everyone jumps on a bandwagon in some ways, it just depends on what level," she said.

 

Adding: "When I first started writing songs I was jumping on a bandwagon a bit, even if it was a bit lower down the food chain so to speak. I guess Madonna is doing the same thing but just with the whole world looking at her. As long as she’s passionate about it, that’s all that matters. She’s been making dance music before I was even born."

 

Madonna has found a particularly strong enemy in the shape of Deadmau5, the DJ and producer labelled her 'funky Grandma' last week and previously slammed her for promoting drug use in electronic music circles.

Damn internet :lol:

Madonna will never be allowed to appear on 'Absolutely Fabulous' even if she wanted to, according to the show's creator Jennifer Saunders.

 

Madonna has been banned from ever appearing on 'Absolutely Fabulous'.

 

Jennifer Saunders - who plays hippie PR woman Edina Monsoon in the long-running comedy series - was once desperate for the 'Girl Gone Wild' singer to appear on the show, but after a number of snubs she has decided she will never be allowed on.

 

She said: "We have had loads of celebrities who have said no to us, but always Madonna. Madonna is the bane of our lives.

 

"In fact even if she said yes now we would have to turn her down. Madonna has always said no - and so are we."

 

Previous guests on the show have included Emma Bunton, Lulu, Kirsty Wark and Kate Moss and Jennifer admits the best celebrities to have are the ones who play it "deadpan".

 

According to the Daily Star newspaper, she said: "All you can say to them is, 'I really want you to be straight'.

 

"The greatest guests we have on are the people who play it completely deadpan and straight so we can be funny off them.

 

"The worst ones are the ones who try and overdo the joke."

 

Jennifer - who stars in the show alongside Joanna Lumley - is currently working on the movie version of the BBC show.
