Isn't she due to have about 100 million dollars of free publicity come her way? She is just SO interesting!!!

And the Photojournalist Award for best air brushing on a magazine cover pic goes to . . .

Madonna is a GOD.

Seriously, I'm not into Kabbalah or faux-British accents, but that stuff is minor BS in comparison to her Madgesty's real accomplishments.

Prince.

Michael Jackson.

Springsteen.

Think about it. She had more balls than any of them. No fear in that woman.

ICON.

And still, unquestionably, Hot as Hell.

50, here's 41 shouting "Awesome" up at ya.

By
The
Way...

I assert that Madonna has WAY more claim to the Presidency than Hillary Clinton.

One has revealed herself, fully, with ultimate courage and confidence, creating true Art in a Pop context. Warhol CAN hold a candle to Madonna, but No One outshines her.

The other stayed with a sleazy philanderer for decades, and wouldn't know how to express an unrehearsed emotion to save her life.

Give me the honest "slut" over the phony "lady" any day.

Spoken like a true fan(atic).

Gee if I had that much money and was as shallow as she I could look different everyday too. I do so love these super rich people that share with the tiny folk... Maddona and Brad + Angie with their tremendous fortunes...I spent more than one quarter of my entire income on animal support. I think these people should be put in proportion. True they don't have to give anything... neither do I.. but I bet I do more based on what I have to do with than either of them! And I am not half as weird...

That was the same summer I heard Michael Jackson's Thriller on the radio and also said "That's a MAN?" http://mespace.wordpress.com

I'm going to let you in on a little secret...there once was a singing group called The Jackson 5. They're all men now.

ABC is first cousin to FOX News, all of em GOP Propagandists.

The credit for her longitivety should go to her promotion team. She is not that talented, it's all smoke and mirrors. She's done well for herself, but it appears now people are starting to see just what little talent she really has. Guess it's time for her to have another reincarnation. That's what she does when her fans start to look for real talent.

[happycat]

I agree!

[JDJase]

"...people are starting to see just what little talent she really has"

Any evidence to back up your statement?

Considering her tour she did 2 years ago was the highest grossing tour of any female artist EVER contradicts your theory.

[sharonh]

Can't sing, can't dance. She's probably lying about her age too. Madge is whack.

[EarthToZoey]

Madonna is hot, definitely..... however, I got a little bit of the "ewws" when I saw her in Playboy and she had hairy armpits. But that's just me.

[wanked]

Whats wrong with her face now.....or does she suck on lemons all day...

[Triangle1]

Some of the stories I've heard from her brother's recent tell-all book make me want to hate her. But I have followed this crazy woman since I was a teenager hearing Lucky Star on the radio the first time and saying "Madonna is WHITE?"

Why no picture of her now with those awful cheek implants?

[happycat]

I know! What the hell has she done to herself? She looks freakish now. I can't get passed her cheeks and her bulging, veiny arms! Eat Madonna Eat! And not that vegan, macrobiotic crap!

[Pennsylvanianne]

awfulplasticsurgery.com has photos of Madonna looking quite haggard, with some comments about cheek implants. I almost feel sorry for her, pinning so much of her public appeal on her looks and not something more substantive. I think she can dance, but she's no singer. And her style of dancing requires a very young body, which she no longer has at age 50 after years of dieting. Contrast Madonna with Angelina Jolie, who while also in an industry focused on looks has devoted much of her time to the international plight of children.

Ladies and gentlemen, Madonna . . . (roaring applause)

zzz ZZ zzz ZZ zzz.

On the same Washington Post image/slide pesentation, there are slides that show how the majority of the the world lives on less than $1.00 a day. People are eating grass, twigs, and tree bark to survive.


. . . But, Madonna got another magazine cover, yiiipeee, hurray!! The 50 year old Virgin preens and puts for the camera and our lurid and profane imagination.
