"She's at that point where she can call me and say, 'Hey Dad, what's up? What time are you going to get me?' " he says of his 11-year-old. "It's really cool. We talk every day."

Their daily chats, however, do not include doses of daddy discipline. "It's hard for me to be the tough guy with my daughter," says Leon, an actor and personal trainer who recently designed the fitness center in the Crescent Club condo in Long Island City through his company, Leon Fitness. "Maybe I should work on the discipline stuff, but I could leave her mother to do that!"

Still, he says, despite her well-known parents, Lourdes ("Lola," as he calls her) remains a grounded kid. "Look at me and the way I live: I ride my bicycle, I walk, I don't have a driver," says Leon. "That's how I keep her grounded. Her mom does a good job too – she's not that person that everyone thinks. She's very laidback and cool."

And Lourdes shares Dad's taste in music, too, Leon says – taking out his iPhone to show off some music she's downloaded. "Alicia Keys, Audioslave, Beck. I like everything she listens to!"

The supposed Spanish promoter Last Tour International have taken off all references to the Madonna date from their official site and they have released a short press announcement in which they inform that "Madonna's European agency has decided to cancel the deal they had with Last Tour International."

Our reader says they have informed her that Madonna's European Agency has apparently decided to cancel unilaterally the concert scheduled for Tuesday September 16 in Madrid. This should be officialized shortly and a new Spanish date is to be announced.

The 144-page book published by Timée-Editions features her rise to stardom divided into themes (her childhood, her passion for Dance, her first movies, her influences and people she met, etc...) as well as many rarely published pictures:

There has been a lot of confusion whether people with regular field tickets would get a chance to enter the golden circle area. Live Nation elsewhere (not in Holland) had said that there was an area in front of the stage for all Hot Ticket holders and that regular field tickets holders could not enter the golden circle.

As for the Amsterdam date MOJO, the Dutch promoter, confirmed today after checking with Madonna's management that people with regular field tickets CAN access the golden circle! People with a Ticket de Luxe will have a different entrance to the golden circle, however these are only a couple of hundred people while a couple of thousand fit in the golden circle, so if you're on time you're guaranteed a spot in the golden circle!

No news yet about which are the goodies that will come with the Ticket de Luxe package.

Queen of Pop Madonna has made the short list for her eco efforts in Playhouse Disney’s inaugural Playing for the Planet Awards which aim to celebrate eco-heroes big and small across seven different categories.

For the coveted Greenest Star category, Playhouse Disney, together with Awards ambassador Peter Duncan, have devised a shortlist of top ten environmentally friendly stars, revealed today. Preschooler’s and their families across the UK are being encouraged to visit www.playhousedisney.co.uk/playingfortheplanet to vote for one of the Top Ten or nominate one of their own favourites green stars.

The celebrities who have made the shortlist are all known for their green attitudes and using their public profile to encourage us all to change our ways, by doing the little things which make a big difference.

Hollywood A-listers, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio have also made it onto the list by donating time, money and support to a range of green campaigns. Another A-List celeb making a difference is Sienna Miller, who has made it her personal mission to raise awareness of global warming. UK celebs are also doing their bit, with Lily Allen regarded as a committed green crusader among her peers and Harry Potter star Emma Watson spending time working with the Wild Trout Trust. Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin shows how rock‘n’roll can be green by travelling on an eco-friendly tour bus with recycling facilities, while his wife Gwyneth Paltrow has fronted environmental campaigns in the USA to help curb the country’s reliance on oil. The Playing for The Planet Greenest Star Award Top Ten Shortlist is as follows.

The Playing for The Planet Awards encourages preschoolers and their families to become eco-friendly by learning through play, and aims to reward those already doing their bit with some amazing eco prizes including a six night family holiday at an eco resort, an electric car and bikes for all the family!
