Camille I liked her. I would have rathered Taylor go poof. Congrats to the Nene-nator. She seems to be a real natural in front of the camera in the little stints she's done so far. Yayyy for the return of New Jersey! Just saw the commercial tonight during Million Dollar Listing. Looking good.

Billboard adds their educated-predictions to the mix, which are basically the same as the above. For the price of Madonna's tickets those "free" CD's should count. I was surprised when I was hearing it wouldn't count, but I guess that was inaccurate.

This is about a third of the chat that I have C & P'ed. For the full chat: https://twitter.com/.../MadonnaMDNAday Ryan Seacrest: SInce Tim Tebow is moving to NY now, will you show him around?

Jimmy Fallon: Did you know they spelled your name wrong on the cover? (Some letters are missing.) Hope you didn't print too many copies! Madonna: i fired the guy who did it, but it fits better on a t-shirt so we're rolling with it... Twitter: will there be a tour documentary? Madonna: maybe Twitter: have u got nay more injuries from rehearsals? Madonna: yes. I have a broken finger. I broke it the other day. My pinky just at the top.

There was a camera there and the video of the kiss came out yesterday: https://twitter.com/...v%3DF1jqi_YmzVA] T: Are you a good kisser? M: most definitely deadmau5 (they're DJ's who wear some weird mouse thing. One of the guys called her a f-in idiot on Facebook earlier in the day for asking the audience at the EDM Fest if "they've seen Molly." Molly is a reference to Ecstacy) : You're a role model to 100's of millions. You have a powerful voice,EDM could use your positive influence, not "molly" talk. Madonna: lovemau5 deadmau5: fair enough, i was just voicing my concerns as i usually do. +1 respect for clearing it up personally. [Later] Madonna: Communication is always best. You should have called me first, we could have cleared it up "privately." See you on the road. deadmau5: sure. regardless, just be a little more aware of what you *should* represent at EDM events, and ill watch my mouth.

Billboard counts down her 40 biggest hits on their Hot 100 in honor of MoNDAy. http://www.billboard.com/#/features/madonna-s-40-biggest-billboard-hits-1006539352.story?utm_source=most_recent

I'm getting the clean copy tomorrow from Ticketmaster unless they slag on that promised delivery date like with everything else. I'm going to buy the Deluxe (Non-Clean) Version on Week 2 because of Gang Bang (<- soooo wrong yet soooo right). Masterpiece is probably the most old-school type ballad she has in there and she sounds terrific on it. My only problem with it is I felt it was more of a demo than a fully developed song. It could easily end at the 2:30 - 2:40 mark and be better for it. FYI: Madonna will also be taking questions on Twitter tomorrow night (well tonight) at 10 pm.

Uh-oh, lil minnie Madonna (Lourdes) is smoking three years under the legal age...

NY Post: YouTube "bans" GGW. They put age-restrictions on the video. Pfft on LR acting indignant, lol.

It's Canada, I should have known it wouldn't have been naughty. That's not good enough. I don't remember seeing this documentary before. VH1's Driven (7 parts, so 2 posts)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95hPbDHDAIc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm8UeUTBK7U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju7oef9FvoI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_srYYBsF3CA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIRUhC_MWnY

They don't do it in the U.S., yet, Eric. I'm just imagining the ED picture, heh. Stop smoking, Eric. MTV recaps their relationship with Madonna. They even thrown in a "classic" Michael vs. Madonna fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F7iN2ziwJw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egQAs28MOlE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shoGmumfbcc

Pat didn't seem to like the RJ & Whitney relationship in that Oprah interview. You would think she would dislike Bobby more than RJ, but her problem was more with RJ - not specifically with RJ, but with Whitney's involvement with RJ. Nightline is doing a piece on Whitney & the Cocaine now. "Drowning due to cocaine use. 60% artey blockage. A lot of internal damage from drug use. She apparently used cocaine immediately prior to passing away."

If somebody did indeed remove it, that was dumb. There was no way it (it being the fact that she was still using) wasn't going to be exposed.

TMZ... http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/22/whitney-houston-cocaine-removed-hotel-room/#.T2u5ccUgfBw

So, although the television news won't outright say it, it does appear she was using close enough to her death that it showed up in her toxicology report. Sucks. I for some reason believed she was over the street drugs and was just doing the alcohol, prescription drugs and maybe some weed.

She's so peaceful and nice in that interview. So different from how she was before and even after. ROL was a good time for her. Bringing BAT back. I posted the Live to Tell/Oh Father section of this story section of the tour, but the full section together is a must... 1. Like a Virgin: The sin (Do not watch this first clip if you're under 14-15, I feel like I should put a rating disclaimer on this thread) 2. Like a Prayer: The confession 3. Live to Tell & Oh Father: Judgment. Punishment. Perspective. 4. Papa Don't Preach: Results of the original sin. Taking responsibility http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wFm40qTgvk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ_RBZCo7Yw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD7abnTQBzk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T1ncxbt0bQ Bonus Clip: Madonna addresses the Pope/Vatican who were trying to ban her from performing this stuff in Italy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR1J6WK0dhE

Vogue and Act of Contrition (from Like a Prayer album) with a touch of the whole sex era. Loved the high-heeled dance section in the middle. I managed to hear the full version of Gang Bang with the leaks earlier this week, this was the main one I wanted to hear in full. If loving Gang Bang (the Madonna song to clarify any misconceptions, lol) is wrong I don't ever want to be right. They need to make a crazy video for this sick song and sell it as an iTunes mini-movie/video. It's one of the catchiest break-up/revenge songs I've ever heard. GANG BANG LYRICS Shot you dead Shot my lover in the head I'm going straight to hell I've got a lot of friends there Drive b-tch, die b-tch Like a bitch out of order Like a bat out of hell Like a fish out of water I'm scared, can't you tell Bang Bang Bang Bang I thought you were good But you painted me bad Compared to the others You're the best thing I had Bang Bang, shot you dead Bang Bang, shot you dead I thought it was you And I loved you the most But I was just keeping My enemies close I made a decision, I would never look back So how did you end up with all my jack? Bang Bang, shot you dead Bang Bang, shot you dead (in the head) Bitch out of order Bat out of hell Fish out of water I'm scared, can't you tell Bang Bang, shot you dead Bang Bang, shot you dead I made a decision, I would never look back So how did you end up with all my jack? Bang Bang, shot you dead Bang Bang, shot you dead Bang Bang, shot you dead, shot my lover in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead and I have no regrets Bang Bang, shot you dead in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead, shot my lover in the head And then I discovered It couldn't get worse You were building my coffin You were driving my hearse Bang Bang, shot you dead Bang Bang, in the head I thought it was you And I loved you the most But I was just keeping My enemies close I made a decision, I would never look back So how did you end up with all of my jack? Bang Bang, shot you dead, in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead, my lover in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead and I have no regrets Bang Bang, shot you dead, in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead, shot my lover in the head You had to die for me baby You had to die for me baby You had to die for me baby How could I move on with my life If you didn't die for me baby If you didn't die for me baby I need you to die for me baby Bang Bang, shot you dead, shot my lover in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead, shot my lover in the head Bang Bang, shot you dead, shot my lover in the head, Now my lover is dead, and I have no regrets He deserved it And I'm going straight to hell And I've got a lot of friends there And if I see that bitch in hell I'm gonna shoot him in the head again Cause I wanna see him die Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over Now drive bitch I said drive bitch And while you're at it, die bitch That's right drive bitch Now drive bitch I said drive bitch And while you're at it, die bitch That's right drive bitch Now if you're gonna act like a bitch Then you're gonna die like a bitch

They didn't waste that much time, but it's good pacing if you just want to push them out and get it over with while it's stll relatively easy to do.

It's one of the top stories in Yahoo Entertainment News as well. How old is the kid she just had?

Those are really amazing numbers. What's so great about this show?

I was looking for the Prince/Madonna award clip which I'd seen before but I never realized this part: The AMA's having categories such as "Favorite BLACK single," "Favorite BLACK album" That just sounds so, so, so, so wrong. It's odd people weren't offended about it. Maybe they were. IDK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KZOGPkbNCc Madonna/Prince "Love Song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAIWd3Bul5M ETA: When did George Michael officially come out of the closet? I remember there being some public bathroom incident not too long ago. Okay, long ago but not that long ago.

It's another terrific song. I could swear I remembered seeing this video on American TV, but I may be confusing TV and YouTube. MTV: Top 10 Transformations... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1kbXtQDcx4 Madonna presenting George Michael an award in a very Madonna-like way, heh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaZVQyTOBns

I'm currently reading "Madonna: An Intimate Biography" and the sexual attack references are a lot different than the Wiki one... Madonna also has a long, long history of serious flower-hating. When she was a very small child, a 2-year old neighbor went over to her with a daffodil as a sort of "lets be friends" gift. She knocked the poor kids a-- down because she hates daffodils. Interesting read so far. One thing is evident from every source the author mentions so far, she had A LOT of anger towards her father after he remarried that never really left throughout her childhood into early adulthood. She felt he replaced her mother, and [Madonna] herself. I'm rolling my eyes when he's detailing some stuff though because he doesn't reference a source - such as the FIRST meeting with the president of Argentina concerning Evita. Yet it's as if he's in the room witnessing this all. Well, I think he references a person or two who was at the meeting, but still... EricM, I think the really good performance in Evita was a several fold thing... I think Madonna plays characters she identifies with or "is" well. For some people Evita was opportunisitic and manipulative, for some she was the ultimate hero. Madonna sort of has that complex, she wants to be or thinks she is a hero but she also is full of this opportunistic and manipulative side in her issues with over-achievement. Then I think some of it was her own mother dying around the same age. I feel like she probably put herself in her mother's shoes. I do agree that Madonna performs well in her videos as opposed to movies which is just odd. I guess she tends to identify with music she helps write more than she does with roles when she actually has to play somebody different than herself. Indeed. In the last decade, I haven't been into Madonna's music as much as I was in the 80s and 90s - so I've been watching some of her 2000s videos. First, is it wrong that I think Revolver is great? LOL, it's very, very conceited (my sex is a killer, do you want to die happy?) but I love the sound of it. Die Another Day, I love the video for this:

Thanks for posting. I always end up skipping over most of TGS when I'm looking at old tours on YT. I had only looked at the Rain clip, because it was Rain at the Girlie Show which at that time (and I guess still) I associated with nudity .

Madonna on Nightline discussing (or justifying) Justify My Love. It's hilarious how flattered she becomes anytime he points out that she's a powerful woman. She's pretty annoying here though, she won't give an inch no matter how he comes at her. I had totally forgotten about the Juke Box channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3yvKGQl6A4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUtMgR6tmwg I like this interview. In this interview, she finally admits somewhat to desiring shock value at the time of her sex period and it being somewhat wrong that she was just forcing it on people without an alternative idea from her in the picture... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll-Lax1gfrc

I think Madonna did a really good job in the movie in terms of overall performance, but she's sooo not theater (not to mention she can't belt) as a singer or actor and that's missing in some of the song performances - most evidently DCFMA. In DCFMA it was as if she was just trying so hard to get it right and that was more prominent than feeling the words. Here's PSB (it's in spanish, but dammmmn, you don't need a translator):
