William Orbit’s thoughts on Ray of Light and MDNA

In a new interview with   Hunger TV , William Orbit explained how it was to record “Ray of Light” with Madonna and how he would have produced MDNA to make it better… Hunger TV:  People got so excited when they knew you were involved in Madonna’s MDNA. How Different was it to collaborate with her on these two different projects? William Orbit:  I knew people were excited, they ask me about a new “Ray Of Light” every minute of the day. Think of it this way: it came about very spontaneously. We were in this studio in a rather unfashionable part of LA where nobody came. I do remember M telling to a guy from the record company “This is art. This is how we are doing it.” It was a very pure experience; it was all about making that record and nothing else. She’s an amazing person, producer and it was a true collaboration. It’s important to get this across; I don’t like it when people assume that I was the clever one doing the whole job. I’d feel mortified if I was her...

On this Day: June 21, 2004 Madonna's third children's book, "Yakov and the Seven Thieves" hits the stores.

  This book was inspired by the Baal Shem Tov, a great teacher who lived in the Ukraine in the 18th century.   It is a story about how all of us have the ability to unlock the gates of heaven--no matter how unworthy we think we are. For when we go against out selfish natures, we make miracles happen, in our lives and in the lives of others.  We must never forget that hidden behind a large amount of darkness is a large amount of light.  --Madonna

Birthday Wishes to Isabella Rossellini

Isabella Rossellini on Madonna’s Sex Book Lastly, I’d be a failure as a gay man if I didn’t ask you about Madonna’s Sex book. It’s been almost 20 years since you were shot for it — looking back, what do you think of the book now? I was working a lot with the photographer Steven Meisel. I didn’t know Madonna and Madonna had approached Steven to do a book about sex. And of course, sex is very interesting. Even me, when I’m making my own little films, I address how animals have sex. It’s very interesting, sex. And Steven was tempted — instead of doing a book about all his photos he did for Vogue and all the past photos as a résumé of his life — to do something challenging. So I thought he had a point. Sex is interesting. But I don’t think the book worked, even though the photos were extraordinary and some of them quite memorable. I think there was a little bit of a moralistic sort of “I’ll teach you how to be free!” and that bothered the hell out of me. Because I think if you want t...

Timor  is from the Netherlands, and he is of Moroccan, Native American, and German descendent. According to E!

(June 16)    Melissa Ruggieri "Holler If Ya Hear Me" has prime real estate in Times Square. Read what Kenny Leon has to say about the show in Sunday's AJC. Tupac Shakur would have turned 43 yesterday, and his pal Madonna and mother Afeni celebrated by attending a preview performance of “Holler If Ya Hear Me,” the new Broadway musical that uses the late rapper’s music as its anchor.

Nile Rodgers: Madonna is a dream to collaborate with

Nile Rodgers: Madonna is a dream to collaborate with GIAMPIERO on June 17, 2014 at 2:32 am Madonna  is a dream to collaborate with, according to  Nile Rodgers . Find out why… Talking to MTV UK,  Nile Rodgers  confessed that even though “people don’t give  Madonna  the real respect and credit that’s due her, she absolutely is the single hardest working person I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with literally hundreds of stars.” According to the legendary musician, working on Like a Virgin album with  Madonna  was “really phenomenal”. Madonna  brings the superstar thing and she brings a work ethic unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

For me it’s like a dream come true. Probably one of the easiest records of my life I’ve ever made.” ...

IS MADONNA ABOUT TO RELEASE A SURPRISE ALBUM? NO!

Angela Cheng popmusicgadfly.com I’ve had several Madonna fans ask me about Madonna’s upcoming album. I, as well as many others, surely thought that she would unleash a surprise single next week. In fact, people from Interscope never denied the rumors. But it ends up being completely false. The rumors were fueled by fat slob and psychotic douchebag Roger Friedman of Showbiz411, who was fired from several news outlets in the past because of his poor reporting. His article (and I won’t link to him so he could get another page hit) was just the beginning in a Madonna bashing campaign he talked about during a Music Cares event earlier this year with Elton John. Incidentally, Friedman allegedly started another Madonna bashing campaign in 2006 according to these leaked emails, which he has denied even though both email addresses are legit and the information in them is 100 percent accurate. I can’t say that I’ve liked everything Madonna has done and have criticized her mys...
