Lady Gaga Rips Off Madonna's Look, Again

Remember when Madonna used to traipse around in front of thousands of shrieking fans, sporting a long blond ponytail and poking her dancers' eyes out with those cone bras she'd hone with a giant pencil sharpener ? Well, somebody sure does. Right, Lady Gaga? READ: Listen: Lady Gaga Debuts Suicide-Themed Song, "Princess Die," During Concert  The "Born This Way" singer—who faced accusations of ripping off the Madonna with that single —is channeling Auntie Madge yet again. Check out this photo, which the pop star posted on her Facebook page. With her bold cat-eye makeup and Barbie -style hair, Gaga's the mirror image of the Madonna who scandalized the world with her Blond Ambition tour circa 1990. Should we expect another Madge "tribute" from the Mother Monster soon? Or maybe another not-so-subtle diss from the Material Girl herself?

Madonna breaks down during a performance of Like a Virgin... but it was all just for show

She's flashed her nipple, shown off her bottom and had a dig at her younger rival Lady Gaga. So you'd think there wasn't really much more that Madonna could do to leave her audience open-mouthed and aghast at her antics - until last night. The Material Girl was in Berlin last night at the O2 World Arena where she is playing two dates as part of her MDNA world tour. Scroll down to watch the video... Life is a cabaret: Madonna sunk to her knees as she sang a throaty slow version of Like A Virgin to her audience in Berlin last night The veteran pop star plays a mixture of her new material and her pop classics and last night was no exception as she treated the audience to her 1984 hit Like A Virgin. And she gave the classic 80s pop tune a Caberet-style twist as she sunk to her knees and performed a slowed-down version of the song. She was sad and blue: The Material Girl looked deep in thought as she leant on her cane It's all too muc...

Best Movie Ever?: "Madonna: Truth Or Dare"

I like having an easy comeback for that incessantly rebooted complaint: "Madonna's not talented!" For me, it strikes the same chord as "Women aren't funny," because in order to spew such a statement, you have to want to believe it, and you have to ignore obvious conflicting facts. And I don't know why you'd want to, because the formula for Madonna's success is simple and respectable: She's Elvis with brains. She has all of The Pelvis' swagger, confrontational stage presence, carnal urgency, and underlying soulfulness. Unlike Elvis, she also has subversive wit, a compulsion for revitalizing her theatricality, and the kind of raunchy self-awareness that'd force Ed Sullivan to broadcast her just from the neck up, let alone the waist. To call Madonna's bravado and success "calculated" is -- as All Music Guide critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine once put it brilliantly -- "not to get Madonna." She's righteou...

Suddenly coy! Madonna and her bare-chested boyfriend Brahim Zaibat duck for cover after Berlin concert

As one of Madonna's back-up dancers on her current world tour, fans are getting to see plenty of Brahim Zaibat's bare torso. But the Material Girl and her 24-year-old toyboy played coy after leaving Berlin's 02 stadium last night in the back of a limousine. The 53-year-old queen of pop and her young boyfriend were on their way home from their second and final concert in Germany, the latest leg of Madonna's MDNA world tour. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO... Enlarge   Cover up: Madonna and her boyfriend Brahim Zaibat leave Berlin's 02 stadium last night after performing in front of thousands of German fans Sitting in the back of the limo next to his girlfriend of nearly two years, a bare-chested Brahim tried to cover himself up with white hotel towels. Meanwhile Madonna stared from the window, and at one point put her hand on her young lover's arm. The Like a Virgin singer was dressed in black, her hair tousled from her gruelling two-hour...
