Madonna issues apology to Australian fans

Despite assurances from  Madonna ’s manager,  Guy Oseary , that the pop icon would play Australia as part of her MDNA World Tour, it was announced last month that the singer would skip the country for the second tour in a row. The anticipated MDNA shows would have marked  Madonna ’s first Aussie dates in 20 years. " Madonna 's tour will end in South America in December as planned. That's all we can say,"  a spokesperson said at the time. Now,  Madonna  has stepped up to offer a personal apology to her Australian fans by way of a recorded youtube message. “I am really and truly sorry to have disappointed you,”  began Madonna.  “That’s something that I don’t feel very good about. I was going to write a letter to everybody but I thought it would be better if I just filmed myself and you could hear it from me personally.” “I can promise you in my heart of hearts that it was my intention to come again but, like the last time, my children a...

Madonna urges fans not to get fat and lazy at US gig

London: Madonna shared some piece of advice with fans during her Philadelphia gig, telling them not to get fat and lazy. The 54-year-old singer made the comment as she kicked off the North American leg of her MDNA world tour before promptly stripping off. The pop diva got racy during ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Human Nature,’ taking off her shirt to reveal her bra, and pulling down her pants to reveal her thong. “Sometimes it’s easier to show your (butt) than show your feelings,” the Daily Mail quoted Madonna, who had the words “No Fear” on her back, as saying. “Maybe tonight we can all live dangerously,” she said. Earlier, the ‘Like A Virgin’ hitmaker had told the assembled crowd at the Fargo Center in Philadelphia: “Don’t get fat and lazy and take that freedom for granted. Her remark had come on the back of comments that she was making about how lucky Americans were to live in a country where freedom of expression was allowed. She said that she was happy to party in the USA ...

Madonna's directorial debut 'W.E.' opens soon in Manila

MANILA, Philippines - With The Weinstein Company’s romantic drama “W.E.,” Madonna, one of the world's most famous women, tries to clean up the stained image of another famous American, Wallis Simpson — "that woman" for whom King Edward VIII gave up his throne in 1936, causing a crisis unprecedented in British history. Simpson has been dead for nearly 26 years; her ex-king husband, the Duke of Windsor, has been gone for nearly 40. Neither had a good end but their story lives on as one of the most reproduced of royal sagas on stage and screen for most of the 20th century. Now, 75 years after the abdication crisis, Madonna's movie, “W.E.” helps shift the image of Simpson from the mannish-but-chic party crasher at the palace to a more ambivalent figure, by turns despised, traduced, envied and pitied even by her critics. “W.E.” starts in the year 1998, when Manhattan is abuzz with anticipation about the upcoming auction of the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Winds...
