Madonna Renews Call to Free Jailed Russian Punk Stars

Pop superstar Madonna renewed her campaign to release the jailed members of Russian punk group PUSSY RIOT during her show in Los Angeles just hours after one of the women walked free from prison on Wednesday (10Oct12). Three members of the band were handed two-year prison sentences for staging a protest in a church in Moscow in February (12), prompting an outcry from stars including Sir Paul McCartney and Madonna, who called the jail terms "harsh" and "inhumane". The women were back in court on Wednesday (10Oct12), and Yekaterina Samutsevich had sentence overturned after her lawyer argued the star had been restrained by police officers before the stunt and hadn't taken part.

Madonna's daughter Lourdes is thinking of moving in with her father

The 16-year-old fashion designer is said to be keen to move in with her dad, personal trainer Carlos Leon, after a series of arguments with her pop superstar mother. A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "They have been arguing like crazy. But Madonna would far rather try to sort things out than for Lourdes to leave home and move in with her father. She's not happy about it, but Lourdes seems to have her mind made up." Madonna - who also has son Rocco, 12, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie and adopted kids Mercy James, six, and David Banda, seven - recently cancelled a planned Australian tour, saying "my children are my first priority" and that she wanted to spend more time with them. Arguments between the 54-year-old singer and her daughter have been said to range from Lourdes' choice of friends to her friendship with Madonna's 24-year-old boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat. After Lourdes had been caught smoking earlier this year, Madonna said: "It...

Madonna's 16-year-old daughter Lourdes is moving out of home to escape mum

Madonna's 16-year-old daughter Lourdes, is reportedly moving out of home. Lourdes is apparently fed up with her mother's strict rules and resents her glitzy life in the spotlight, according to British newspaper  The Sun . "Madonna is a strict parent, but Lourdes has been rebelling. She's also fed up being in the spotlight. That's why she didn’t go on stage during Madonna's tour," a source told  The Sun . The mini-'Material Girl' is reportedly planning her escape to the performing arts school Bard College outside of New York City. And, in the ultimate show of rebellion — she plans on paying for it herself. The university is rated as one of the most liberal in the US and tuition doesn't come cheap. Lourdes is expected to use the money she earned from the teenage clothing line, Material Girl, that she started with 54 year-old Madge. One of the teenager's close friends has already applied, and Lourdes is hoping to joi...

Madonna won't wear 'terror' bridal dress for fear of safety

Madonna has decided against wearing a 'bridal dress' in her new music video over fears for her safety. The 54-year-old singer was planning to don a 'Terror Bride' outfit - a combination of a traditional Iraqi bridal veil and a US soldier's uniform - in the video for upcoming single Superstar  as a statement against oppression against women and war, but her advisers convinced her to ditch the political stunt because of the outrage it would be likely to cause. A source said, "Madonna had the outfit ready to go. She was really proud of it and said it was her 'Terror Bride' costume." "She had paraded around in it and said she was going to wear it in her next music video. At first when people started telling her it was madness she just brushed it off." "But when they mentioned that her actions could put her life at risk she decided to ditch it from her video and certainly won't be wearing it on stage." The  Cel...
