She's beyond caring and so she should be. Also, he's MY AGE. There is chance for me yet !!

Thanks for sharing! Seems like her next project is a movie adaptation of Andrew Sean Greer's novel The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells, which will be titled Loved. I really loved W.E. so I'm looking forward to what this project will entail. Music will always be my main love of Madonna's artistry but I can't see her completely sidelining that until this project is finished - I could see her writing things throughout 2017 as US politics starts to change; definitely seems like that'll be the main focus of her next music.

 

I loved how stunning W.E. was but i just found it so boring.

 

This film doesn't sound too interesting either .

I was really impressed with W.E. - like you said, it was very stylish and visually thought through to the last detail, so very Madonna, but I also liked the film itself; both the story itself and the parallels, intentional or not, with Madonna and her career.

Madonna spoke at the Women's March the other day:

 

 

3 F-bombs on live TV and trending on Facebook!

She made the headlines yet again :lol: The Trump "suck my dick" moment ~

Happy birthday Mercy James <3

Whenever I go on Facebook, she's always trending! I have to say my heart does always skip a beat each time.

 

Madonna and Cher together at the Women's March:

 

 

I don't think I've ever seen them together tbh!

 

I love how it looks like Madge has taken her aging mother from the Home for a nice day out even though she wants to stay home and suck on a Werther's Original.

!!

 

I resisting the urge to make some sort of comment about Madonna and Cher being in the same photo but I think you put it best! :D

Digital Spy have posted an article of the worst actors and actresses according to the Razzies and Madonna is joint fourth with 6 nominations (Swept Away, The Next Big Thing, Body of Evidence, Truth or Dare, Who's That Girl and Shangri Surprise). Demi Moore was 4th too, and Madonna can say that she's a better actor than Kevin Costner, Adam Sandler and Sylvester Stallone! :D

How can she be nominated for truth and dare?

That's what I thought too. I get that it's a documentary-film but she's not an actress in it.

 

Besides, she's fabulous in it.

Screaming at her pissing all the inbred rednecks off. queen :wub:

Rumour has it that songwriter Bruce Roberts has approached Madonna to partly rewrite and record the Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer song, which he wrote, 'No More Tears (Enough is Enough)', to express the objection of Trump's policies. The hook will remain the original recording with Madonna singing along.

 

This sounds gloriously camp but, if it's true, I don't think Madonna would agree. I could see her wanting to just create her own song about Trump instead of using a song that's already been a hit.

 

The Cut: Why Won’t We Let Madonna Age the Way She Wants To?

Helen Mirren’s snowy crop. Patti Smith’s silver locks and crinkly eyes. Charlotte Rampling’s chiseled laugh lines and Diane Keaton’s covered-up chic. These are some of the things people will reliably cite when they talk about “aging gracefully.” Of course, we all know that there’s a very specific social prescription for how to do so, and it usually involves a) embracing your natural hair color, b) an absence of visible “work”, and/or c) being French.

 

One person who consistently falls on the other end of the age conversation? Madonna. When she strutted into the Alexander Wang show in September with her college-age daughter, Lourdes, in tow, they almost looked like classmates, not mother and daughter. Madonna was flaunting a lace corset and track pants, while her daughter wore a turtleneck. At the after-party, she was having more fun than anyone, even donning a branded beer helmet. But everything about Madonna — the red-carpet flashing, the “new new face,” the string of younger boyfriends — seems to bring out criticism that she’s not aging in the “right” way, which seems to mean that she’s just refusing to settle into a role as a grande dame. Her every move is the stuff Daily Mail caption writers’ dreams are made of, whether she’s “worse for wear” or “attempting to outdo Ariana Grande despite 35-year age gap” or skiing with a “toyboy.” (Have these people not seen that iconic belt?) Then there’s the way she folded an Illuminati-chapter-meeting’s worth of celebrities into her “Bitch I’m Madonna” video, earning cries that she was out of touch, even vampirically siphoning off the talents of younger stars.

 

Sure, every pop star has his or her legion of haters, but Madonna’s actions sometimes even make her critics literally ill. “You can’t be 58 and dancing around like that,” said Piers Morgan, immediately before stage-vomiting into a bucket on British TV. (The inciting incident: She had the audacity to twerk during her “Carpool Karaoke” segment.) Recently, she’s been on the receiving end of slings and arrows from Camille Paglia, who wrote a column for The Hollywood Reporter called “How to Age Disgracefully.” She called out Madonna’s “pointless provocations” and “trashy outfit,” while suggesting she be more like Marlene Dietrich.

 

Three years ago, Out.com columnist Michael Musto wrote an essay for Scene in which he, too, was critical of Madonna’s clinging to youth. He called her Grammys outfit that year “latter-day Mae West impersonating Colonel Sanders,” and he was no fan of her penchant for grillz. Since then, Musto says he has “done a complete flip-flop” on Madge. For a long time, he hoped she’d “do a Peggy Lee tribute album and dress in a sultry, age-appropriate gown,” he admits. But her recent speech at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she confronted the misogyny she’s faced throughout her career, changed his mind. Madonna is stuck between a rock and a hard place with her refusal to go gently into that good night, to the tune of “Is That All There Is?”

 

“We’re all for aging,” points out Musto, “but God forbid someone have a natural wrinkle and God forbid someone Botox their wrinkles … you can’t win.” Unspoken in our paeans to the beauty of aging is the fact that it has to look effortless. Madonna’s “work,” her Botox, and her gym-hardened body, are too visible. We want our pop stars to be forever young, but are uncomfortable reckoning with the kind of labor that requires.

 

Meanwhile, Musto points out, Mick Jagger — who is 73 to Madonna’s 58 — can dress, dance, date, and reproduce without much outcry. I’d add that he’s hardly under the pressure to reinvent himself that Madonna is. No one seems to complain that he hasn’t explored the world of EDM or brought in some younger, hotter artist for a feature on a “Wild Horses” remix. In Madonna’s Billboard speech, she paid tribute to fellow shape-shifter David Bowie, but also noted that he was far less subject to critique than she was. “He made me think there were no rules,” she said ruefully. “I was wrong. There are no rules if you’re a boy.” She ended by advising her fellow women in pop: “And finally, do not age, because to age is a sin. You will be criticized, you will be vilified, and you will definitely not be played on the radio.” Her morally loaded language is no accident — to be female and age unapologetically is still a venal sin in some quarters.

 

Still, we can hope that maybe Madonna is creating a new playbook for how to age, a freer one that those a generation younger than she — like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga — are already starting to follow. Think of her as the rocky test case for this new approach. Musto predicts that soon, “it’s going to be ingrained in our society that a woman can be sexy in her 50s, 60s, and so on. And Madonna can be thanked for having paved the way for that.”

 

Drew Elliott, Paper’s creative director and a judge on America’s Next Top Model, goes so far as to call Madge’s youthful ways kind of punk. “She behaves like a young person in that she’s radical still,” he says, “which I think is fabulous and usually associated with youth.” He cites her in-on-the-joke performance as a clown at Art Basel as a recent example. While many of her contemporaries have settled into placid diva-dom, she refuses to play it safe, and Elliott hopes it stays that way: “The last thing I want to see is Madonna in a muumuu.”

 

From Digital Spy:

Former EastEnders star Jonny Labey and partner Chrissy Brooke are quickly becoming the Dance Dance Dance favourites, so what better way is there to celebrate that then with a couple more royally good performances?

 

First up was the pair's duo dance, where they took on the '00s classic of Britney Spears ft. Madonna's 'Me Against The Music', and it was good enough to score Jonny and Chrissy the first perfect score of the series.

 

"It's a first," Jonny said on making his debut as Madonna in the thoroughly impressive routine that saw him throw multiple tricky dance moves.

 

And his efforts didn't go unrewarded by the judges either, who had nothing but praise for both the two once they'd caught their breath back.

 

"My brain's scrambled," said judge Ashley Banjo. "It's hard for me to get my words. Jonny, you're on fire.

 

"And, when I think you can't get any better, week on week on week - you bring it, every time. I felt like I was at a dance show watching world class professionals on stage - it's a 10!"

I've not been watching the show but I've caught one or two performances on YouTube and I have to say Jonny has been pretty fab every time!

They've also done 4 minutes and vogue on this show .

Indeed they have!

 

 

 

I had seen the 'Vogue' on before and it's quite good, but just doesn't have that razzle-dazzle that one expects from a voguing routine.

 

The '4 Minutes' one was just them jumping around the stage.
