 | Madonna frenzy on the Brazilian press |
|
|
The Brazilian press has been stormed by reports about Madonna flying to Brazil this week following an invitation by Rio de Janeiro's Governor, Sergio Cabral to attend "World´s biggest party" - as Carnival is knwon in Brazil - and also continue working on the Success For Kids project she's involved in.
All major Brazilian media outlets report that Madonna is expected to land in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday so it's just a matter of hours to see which part of the rather extensive lot of rumours _ spanning from dinners with singer Beyonce to boats hired to swim away from the paparazzi - is true.
In the meanwhile, enjoy a clipping from "O Globo" from last week - click to zoom.

 | Madonna's Malawi school on-site |
|
|
New images of the planned Raising Malawi Academy for Girls have been unveiled. The project is is currently on-site and will become a campus for 450 pupils when it is completed in two years' time, BDonline reports.
The design comes from studio MDA, a New York practice founded by Markus Dochantschi, a former Zaha Hadid Architects partner, and aims to use locally sourced materials such as hyrdaform bricks made from soil on site.
The project includes the use of double roofs designed to catch the wind and provide natural ventilation. The use of photovoltaic panels on the roofing will help the buildings to be energy independent.
Large overhangs on the roofs will create outdoor shaded spaces, preventing direct sunlight from heating up the interior of the building at the same time.
British engineer Adams Kara Taylor is also working on the scheme along with the New York office of Arup.

A gorgeous vintage photo portrait of the Queen Of Pop from 1984 by photographer Michael Putland is adorning the cover of the latest issue of Italian Rolling Stone magazine out today.
This great classic Madonna shot can be enjoyed at its best on this magazine cover, that still has the size of the old US Rolling Stone magazine that on the other hand, in the last few years, has shrunk in size quite a lot.
Be quick to get your copy as the magazine is distributed with two alternate covers. One is Madonna, the other is Mick Jagger.

One of the most bizarre Madonna related stories of this new decade appeared on the pages of the New York Post today:
Madonna has become so nuts for coconut water that she recently invested about $1.5 million in one of the leading makers of the drink, which has taken Hollywood and The Big Apple by storm, the New York Post reports.
Her manager Guy Oseary told On the Money in an exclusive interview last week that the superstar decided to invest after she learned about the product from a September story in The Post.
Oseary is also investing seven figures in the company, New York-based Vita Coco, and has rounded up pals like actors Mathew McConaughey and Demi Moore, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, who are making smaller, but "significant investments."
Madonna, who Oseary said started drinking coconut water on her world tour last year, doesn't look like she is going to be a passive investor - she's already lobbing some business ideas at company founder Michael Kirban. For example, she thinks it would be a marketing winner if the company made coconut-water popsicles.
Madonna is so enthusiastic about coconut water that she drank fresh juice daily on the overseas leg of the Sticky & Sweet tour. There is also talk that she might make a follow-up investment.
Oseary said he and Madonna were attracted to the financial side of the business because it is vertically integrated - they own their own factories - and because they are independent. "The fact that they are saying no to everyone who wants them is pretty cool," he said. "You want to go to the party that no one else is invited to."
From the New York Post.
It was officially confirmed today by Vita Coco CEO and co-founder Michael Kirban that entertainment manager Guy Oseary and his client Madonna invested in Vita Coco. Oseary also brought on board Matthew McConaughey, Demi Moore and Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis as additional Vita Coco investors.
"This group of investors chose to invest because they've all been brand loyalists, drink Vita Coco regularly and believe in the growth potential of the Vita Coco brand," stated Kirban.
From a Business Wire press release.
In related news, it appears that Guy Oseary is also the reported second choice to replace Simon Cowell on "American Idol". According to Deadline Hollywood, the show's first choice to take Cowell's place is former Sony Music boss Tommy Mottola, who helmed the company during Michael Jackson's heyday and was once married to Mariah Carey and now is Mexican song idol Thalia's husband.
The only problem seems to be that apparently Cowell also has his eyes on Mottola as a possible judge for his soon-to-launch reality talent competition "The X Factor," and here's where Guy's name pop's out as second best.

 | Iconic celebrity photos on exhibition for Haiti Relief |
|
|
A star-studded collection of celebrity photos featuring iconic photographs of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Britney Spears has gone on display in New York, proceeds of which will go to Haiti relief fund.
The exhibition, titled "Snapped! From the Red Carpet to the Dark Side of Celebrity", is being held to mark the 21st anniversary of entertainment news and photo agency WENN - World Entertainment News Network, Contactmusic reported.
Snapped! showcases shots from the past two decades, including Lady GaGa with British monarch Queen Elizabeth II and Madonna in Malawi with her adopted son David Banda. The collection is also raising money for charity as all proceeds from the sales of prints will be donated to Concern Worldwide's Haitian earthquake relief efforts.
"Like everyone, we were devastated by the horrors of the recent events in Haiti and have been looking for an appropriate way in which to contribute," Lloyd Beiny, organiser of the display said. The exhibition runs at Manhattan's Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Avenue, NYC, from January 8 through February 28, 2010.

 | Madonna on U.S. No. 1 Debut Album ''Hope for Haiti'' |
|
|
The "Hope for Haiti Now"album debuts at No. 1 on the U.S. album chart this week, selling 171,000 copies in just two days of release.
Following the telethon Friday night, the 20-track live album was only available as a digital download for the tracking week, which ended Sunday night. (Physical copies of the album aren't yet produced or distributed.)
"Hope for Haiti Now" is the first album available solely as a digital download to debut at No. 1 in Billboard's 54-year history.
Helping to make history this week is Madonna's stirring rendition of choir-backed track 13 "Like A Prayer", underscoring Madonna's continuing commitment to social justice and economic empowerment.
Bonus: Madonna is connected to this week's U.S. No. 2 album as well - Susan Boyle covers the Madonna classic You'll See on her popular "Dreamed a Dream" debut album.

 | Madonna and Britney's is top kiss |
|
|
To mark the opening of their very own kissing booth on February 12, Selfridges compiled a list of the most famous kissing moments of the Noughties, and surprise surprise, the Madonna and Britney Spears snog at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003 was voted the top kiss.
Second in the list is Tobey Maguire's upside-down kiss with Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman, followed by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain.
Also in the top ten you can find Sacha Baron Cohen recreating the Madonna and Britney episode with Will Ferrell at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.
It would be interesting to learn what's on Christina Aguilera's mind as she took part of the very same Madonna double snog back in 2003, but thanks to the cameras lurking for Justin Timberlake's reaction, everyone just referrs to that moment as "the Madonna and Britney kiss".

News is just in to MadonnaTribe that Madonna's new single Revolver will be officially released by Warner Music in Italy in the month of March 2010.
Madonna's singles are not officially distributed in the Italian market anymore and the Fimi single charts are now based on digital downloads only. Fans know that record shops may still carry copies that are imported from Germany or the UK, but this time Warner Music decided to distribute Revolver in Italy in its 12" vinyl single format.
Because the vinyl release will follow the CD maxi, Revolver will reach Italian stores on March 2nd 2010.
In other Warner Music related news the Sticky & Sweet Tour will be their last official Madonna release so far as the current agreement between Live Nation and Warners is limited to the Sticky & Sweet release. Only time will tell if it will be Warner Music to distribute the new Madonna products from her Live Nation contract in the future or someone else will step in to handle them.
Sticky & Sweet will be delivered to Italian shops on Friday, March 26 2010.
The tour dvd will be released in Italy and other European countries in two formats: A CD+DVD combo in Digipak and for the first time ever a BluRay + CD in standard bluray box.

 | Madonna: Great Material |
|
|
Leaning across a burgundy velvet divan in the leopard-print drawing room of his company's Milan headquarters, Stefano Gabbana thumbs through a pile of xeroxed images. "This is crazy!" he enthuses, waving one page in the air. "Madonna washing dishes? This will go down in history!"
The designer may be overstating things, but a housewife performing mundane daily chores certainly represents a new identity for the world's most famous chameleon.
And the photograph Gabbana is so excited about is just one of nine black and white Steven Klein shots depicting Madonna in her latest incarnation. The singer-cum-actress can also be seen wielding a broom, peeling vegetables and eating spaghetti with her fingers. Together the images make up Dolce & Gabbana's spring campaign, which launches worldwide in February.
Check out the complete article on the online website of W magazine. Thanks to Vincy.

 | Stefano Gabbana and Madonna's working tear ducts |
|
|
From "the Cut" at New York magazine:
Though Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been chummy with Madonna since 1991, Gabbana admits they shared "a sort of fear" of asking her to "do anything businessy" for them, like appear in an ad campaign.
Because they probably didn't want her to hate them for asking - you know, coming off like they were trying to use her - and then not wear their clothes or be their friend, most importantly.
Wasting no time in stealing her from Louis Vuitton after two seasons of campaigns for that label, Dolce posed her as an Italian housewife for the spring 2010 ads.
In one image she appears to be crying after reading a letter from a loved one. "She was really crying!" Gabbana tells W. "It wasn’t fake!" He doesn't say whether that part where she eats pasta is fake, but explains, "They say there’s a connection between food and sex." Especially when you shoot Madonna's ample bosoms as she's peeling onions.

 | All-star Haiti telethon raises 57 million, so far |
|
|
Organizers for the all-star "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon say the event raised a record-setting $57 million - and counting.
The two-hour telethon aired Friday night on the major US networks and dozens of other channels, including MTV, Bravo, and PBS, and was also streamed live online. Stars like Brad Pitt, Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and more used their presence to encourage donations for Haiti, following a Jan. 12 earthquake that killed an estimated 200,000 people.
A statement released Saturday said the money raised was a record. It does not include donations by corporations or via iTunes, where people are able to buy performances of the event for 99 cents.
People can still donate via text, phone or through the "Hope for Haiti" Web site - www.hopeforhaitinow.org.
