Rumour by The Mirror: Madonna to perform on The Voice, but only if BBC provides a giant bullring.



According to The Mirror Madonna is set to perform on BBC talent show The Voice – but only if bosses can squeeze a 24ft by 24ft bullring into the studio.
Madge’s extravagant stage production demands include the mocked-up arena for herself, 10 dancers and 12 gospel singers.
Producers fear the show’s HQ at Elstree Studios in Herts is too small to accommodate such a large stage and are frantically trying to solve the problem in time for the show’s live finals.
A source said:
Getting Madonna on The Voice would be a major coup.
She’s not going to do anything by halves. So if the Beeb want her, they’re going to have to accommodate her – and her bullring – whether it’s in the usual studio or they find something temporary.
It’s got to be a huge spectacle or it won’t happen.
US star Madonna, 56, was dressed as a matador when she performed at the Grammys in LA this month and wants to continue the theme in Britain while she promotes her new album here.
Signing her up would give The Voice a huge victory over ITV rival The X Factor.
X Factor chief Simon Cowell revealed last year that Madonna is the one artist who has not appeared on the show, who he would most like to secure.

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...

In honour of  amFAR  (The American Foundation for AIDS Research), Gaultier held a fashion benefit whose runway included everything from lip-synching to Dr Ruth dressed in rubber to raise money for a cause that devastated (and continues to devastate) communities around the world.

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,...
