Madonna Returns to Twitter for Q&A

The Material Mom, promoting new album "MDNA,"

When Madonna is not busy multi-tasking, she takes a tweet-break. But, of course, it's work-related.

The Material Mom returns to Twitter Wednesday night for a Q&A with fans as part of a promotional duties for her eighth No. 1 album, MDNA.
She'll reply to fan tweets beginning at 10 p.m. on the handle @MadonnaMDNAday. No stranger to controversy, in her first go-round on the social-networking site last week, she courted some critics.

Among them was EDM (electronic dance music) star Deadmau5, who slammed Madonna over her casual use of a slang term for the drug ecstasy during her cameo at Miami's Ultra Music Festival. (She responded by posting a photo of herself with mouse ears and an explanation for dropping the term "Molly": "From one mouse to another. I don't support drug use and I never have.")

She also provoked an insult from CNN's Piers Morgan, notable Madonna antagonist, who wrote: "Welcome to Twitter @MadonnaMDNAday -- you're still banned from my show. Love Piers x."

Madonna also addressed some good-natured softball queries, such as "What is your favorite place to hide?" (her response: “In my bathroom”) and "Have you ever worn a Snuggie? (“No, but Lola has.")

Meanwhile, MDNA is poised to sell more 359,000 copies its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and debut atop the Billboard 200.
The pop queen's concert tour kicks off May 29 in Israel, and her longtime manager, Guy Oseary, told The Hollywood Reporter that she has other Middle Eastern countries in her sights.
"We would love to go play Iran," Oseary said. "We would love to play Lebanon, Egypt and Syria at some point. … Obviously, it’s just not possible."

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...

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,...
