Health-conscious Madonna celebrates MDNA chart success... with vitamin tablets

At her party to celebrate the album's sales she wanders over to a table laden with champagne... and loads of nutritious vitamin pills

Let it never be said that the Queen Mother of Pop has forgotten how to party.

Her new album MDNA reached the pinnacle of the US charts, so a collection of her mates decided to throw a bash for her.

In footage uploaded on her YouTube account, Madge, 96 53, is seen walking into a crowded room full of her dancers and friends, where she is told the good news.

She does a little dance, and then wanders over to a table laden with champagne... and loads of nutritious vitamin pills.

Macrobiotic food nut Madge then hands out the yummy supplements to her vita-minions, who try not to appear too crestfallen.

But then she goes to cut the cake, and things get even more embarrassing. She brandishes the knife at her pals – for a laugh – and a slab of cake gets thrust straight in her manager Guy Oseary’s face.

He looks absolutely thrilled to smithereens as she tells him: “That’s for making me work so hard, motherf*****!”

Pffft – as if workaholic Madge can’t get enough of all this hard graft. Anyhow, it was a lovely gesture by her mates – but they probably won’t bother to throw a party for her birthday (she’s had more than enough of them by now surely).

Meanwhile, there was some bad news for Madge as Quentin Tarantino has snubbed her pleas for him to direct her new video.

The singer has repeatedly begged the director to shoot the vid for her classily titled single Gang Bang.

But he’s told her he’s “too busy” filming a new movie. Madge doesn’t seem convinced. “He’s shooting a movie til June,” she muses. “That’s no excuse. I’m still waiting for his call.”

Keep on taking the tablets Madge...

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to the Cut about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...

In honour of amFAR (The American Foundation for AIDS Research), Gaultier held a fashion benefit whose runway included everything from lip-synching to Dr Ruth dressed in rubber to raise money for a cause that devastated (and continues to devastate) communities around the world.

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy publishes nude photos of Madonna taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star, Playboy publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner Vanessa Williams , which their rival Penthouse published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
