Mila Kunis Braves Rain for Madonna in New York City
09/10/2012 at 06:00 AM EDT
Gonna dress you up in ... my poncho?
Mila Kunis braved a rainy New York City night to see Madonna live in concert at Yankee Stadium.
The actress – who sat front row – took her seat around 10:20 p.m., just moments before the "Material Girl" took the stage. Beau Ashton Kutcher was nowhere to be seen but Kunis spent her evening chatting with two male friends and happily posing for photos with fans.
"She wore a rain poncho just like the rest of the crowd," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Alicia Keys, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anderson Cooper and Lucy Liu were also in attendance.

Madonna's transformative 'MDNA' tour at Wells Fargo Center
22 m ago By Glenn Gamboa

PHILADELPHIA – Madonna's latest reinvention may be her most revealing yet.
No, it's not because of her mid-show striptease during “Human Nature,” where she stands for a bit in her bra and panties to show off the words “NO FEAR” on her back. It's because her wild, nearly two-hour “MDNA” tour, which she rehearsed at Nassau Coliseum for most of May, may come closest to reflecting her current state of mind, while building yet another artistic, well-choreographed slacklining spectacle. (The tour arrives at Yankees Stadium on Sept. 6 and 8.)
Not surprisingly, considering her recent divorce from director Guy Ritchie, it starts with a murderous rage. There's so much (fake) blood spilled during “Gang Bang,” which pits Madonna against a full gun-wielding assault team, that it's like a season of “Dexter” condensed into five minutes, complete with blood splatters on the massive video screens.
However, Madonna describes the show as “the journey of a soul from darkness to light” and the brutal imagery of the first section quickly gives way to determination and joy, starting with “Express Yourself,” which she mashes into Lady Gaga's “Born This Way,” seemingly lovingly enough before punctuating it with “She's Not Me.” While the joyous section, which includes the aggressively peppy “Give Me All Your Luvin'” and “Turn Up the Radio” done as cheerleaders and includes drummers hanging two stories above the stage, could have been longer, it includes one of the night's most memorable moments. The reworking of “Open Your Heart” with the Basque trio Kalakan as a sort of traditional European folk song, built only on drums and vocal harmonies, was pure joy, topped with Madonna dancing across the stage with 11-year-old son, Rocco, who looked extraordinarily comfortable in the spotlight.
Another standout moment is also a quiet one, where Madonna transforms her bubbly synth-pop classic “Like a Virgin” into a waltz worthy of Marlene Dietrich, delivered haltingly and dramatically. At one point, Madonna even lies on the stage face down, the mic on the ground next to her mouth, she's so exhausted from the desperation for feeling a “heartbeat next to mine.”
However, the biggest surprise in a night of twists and turns was actually an unscripted one. After keeping the crowd waiting more than an hour after her expected start time and enduring some boos before she took the stage, Madonna apologized. “Forgive me,” she said. “I wanted the show to be perfect for you because my fans deserve it and quite frankly I deserve it.”
She went on to declare her love of America, fueled, in part, by her recent European tour, where she stood up against censorship and homophobia. “In my country,” she shouted, “we have freedom of speech, freedom of expression... Never forget how lucky you are to live where you live.”
For a woman known for being a demanding perfectionist, the end of her show was actually about being grateful and accepting of yourself – including “I'm Addicted” and “I'm a Sinner” – so that you can, once again, enjoy (and express) yourself.

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister just called her an ex-whore on twitter. Just reported on BBC Radio 2 News. According to BBC he used the strongest insulting word that can be possibly used in Russia.
"Every former whore seeks to lecture everyone on morality as she gets older. Especially during tours and gigs abroad,"

Madonna Sued over 1990 Hit “Vogue”–Producer/Writer Will Know the Answer
Madonna Sued over 1990 Hit “Vogue”–Producer/Writer Will Know the Answer
07/13/12 12:51am Roger Friedman 0
Poor Madonna! What a year she’s having. Madonna is being sued 22 years after her hit song, “Vogue,” came out. Apparently new computer programs can detect samples hidden in records. Both “Vogue” and a 1977 disco record by the Salsoul Orchestra were each written and produced by Richard “Shep” Pettibone. (Madonna helies heavily, let’s say, on collaborators.) If that name sounds familiar it’s because in addition to working with Madonna, Pettibone remixed almost all the records of the late 80s and early 90s. That’s why so many of them sound the same. But early in his career he worked with Salsoul Records and the self named group.
Salsoul Orchestra was the kind of thing that disco haters really hated in the late 70s. It was like soft funk mixed with soft jazz and then whipped into a smooth frappe that made you gag while you desperately hunted out the Clash, the Jam or Elvis Costello. Anyway, I digress. Seems Pettibone is accused of pulling some old horns and strings off of a Salsoul hit called “Ooh (I Love It)” and burying them in “Vogue” to give it its propulsion. Frankly, the original record by SalSoul sounds like it borrowed from Van McCoy’s “The Hustle.” Now everyone who worked with Pettibone — and the list is long, long long– should go back and see what he hid in their records. He remixed a lot of Janet Jackson’s and the Pet Shop Boys’ hit records. But I’d start by analyzing Pettibone’s Madonna contributions:
Madonna – Where’s the Party (1986)
Madonna – Into the Groove (1985)
Madonna – Causing a Commotion (1987)
Madonna – Like a Prayer (1989)
Madonna – Express Yourself (1989)
Madonna – Keep it Together (1990)
Madonna – Vogue (1990)
Madonna – Justify My Love (1990)
Madonna – Rescue Me (1991)
Madonna – Erotica (1992)
Madonna – Deeper and Deeper (1992)
Madonna – This Used to Be my Playground (1992)
Madonna – Bad Girl (1993)
Madonna – Fever (1993)
Madonna – Rain (1993)

B’wood cheers for Madonna
Mumbai Mirror | Jun 6, 2012, 09.51AM IST
B’wood cheers for Madonna
Manish Malhotra, Tanuj Garg, Sophie Chaudhry gush about the diva
Madonna hit the stage running at Abu Dhabi's Yas Island stadium on Sunday in her first ever concert in the Gulf.
An estimated 25,000 fans cheered and screamed as the Material Girl finally appeared on stage more than two hours late, wearing a skin-tight black outfit from her Girl Gone Wild album. Brandishing an assault rifle during her hit Revolver, the superstar saluted the emirate of Abu Dhabi, the second stop in her MDNA world tour.
Several Bollywood celebrities were spotted in the crowd. Fashion designer Manish Malhotra had even tweeted a picture of him and his friends who travelled to Abu Dhabi for the concert. This included, Tanuj Garg, Sophie Choudhry, Manav Gangwani, Urmila Matondkar, Zayed and Fardeen Khan with their wives.
Manish wrote: "Madonna was superb: show production was spectacular" but regretfully added, "Wish Madonna had sung Material Girl, Frozen, Get into the groove."
Sophie however happier with the show. She tweeted, "Madonna is truly the Queen of reinvention! The staging and choreography was incredible! Her energy, work ethic and talent are awe inspiring!"
Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, Sophie said, "My dear friend Manav Gangwani and I went together. And we had the most incredible experience. Madonna's manager Guy Oseary arranged for us to have friend and family passes which meant we were so close to the stage that we could almost touch her."
Sophie isn't new to Madonna concerts either. But everytime, the diva seems to surprise her. "Her talent, dedication and ability to constantly reinvent herself are just awe inspiring, said Sophie.
About the Abu Dhabi show, she added, "A lot of people wanted to hear all her old songs but the tour is to promote the music of her new album and I thought the staging and choreography was just mesmerising. The highlights for me were the opening on Girls Gone Wild, Vogue, Like A Prayer and I'm A Sinner. The woman is a legend."

BTW is played in the EY intro on keyboards and she actually pays homage to the original The Staple Singers' "Respect Yourself" too
She shades herself too
Only The Queen of Pop has this flawless sense of humour
-
Madonna:“if I were Mariah Carey, I'd kill myself”.
I think Gaga want Madonna to shade her.

Last week a Live Nation producer visited some other venues around the country to re-think the posibility of making the concert outside caracas since there is no proper venue for the concerts in the capital, apparently another event producer Solid Show[ www.solidshow.com ] has managed to make the deal to hold Both concerts in Puerto La Cruz a very turistic city that has a stadium that has already been used for such events
this person has been known to give news about this kind of events in the past, he has contacs in the ticket seller of the country
Rumored Dates: November 3rd for gaga
and 27th of november for madonna
the announcement will come first for madonna in a week or so and the one for gaga around july, to make space between the ticket sales

I'm still hoping that's not true. Please Madonna don't do that, it will be a disaster

Madonna rules out TV talent shows
B
Madonna
Madonna would never be a judge on a television talent show.
The 'Masterpiece' hitmaker - who was at one point rumoured to be in talks for a slot on the US "X Factor' - insists it is not a route she would want to go down because she doesn't want to judge people.
Asked if she would ever consider sitting on a panel, she said: "I haven't really thought about it to tell you truth and I've never actually seen any of those shows - I don't watch television. And the contests, well everybody's a bit contest obsessed.
"I don't actually like the idea of being a judge. It's so subjective - like what's good and what isn't?"
The 53-year-old singer - who has daughter Lourdes, 15, son Rocco, 11, and adopted son David, six, and daughter Mercy, also six - admits that despite the worldwide hype, she does not know who boy band One Direction are.
On the subject of the 'X Factor' runners-up, who have been whipping young girls into a frenzy across the globe, she said: "That's a pop group, right? Sorry," before confessing: "I haven't seen them yet, no, sorry. Slap my hand."
But one artist she does have her eye on is Adele, who she reveals she would "love" to work with.
In an interview with UK morning show 'Daybreak', she said: "I would love to. I would love to meet her, I think she's brilliant, I love her."
