[June 18 2013] Madonna Debuts 'MDNA Tour' Concert Film At New York's Paris Theatre (VIDEO'S) Q&A from Madonna




Madonna  debuted the much-anticipated film version of her MDNA World Tour before a packed house of fellow stars and die-hard fans at the New York's Paris Theatre.
The Queen of Pop channeled Marlene Dietrich's iconic "New York's Paris TheatreMorocco" look in men's trousers, a tuxedo jacket and top hat. As Madonna later pointed out, it was an inspired choice (if one the star has previously embraced throughout her career) as Dietrich herself was present at the Paris Theatre's 1948 opening.
 18.06.2013 - The MDNA Tour premiere at The Paris Theatre in New York

An unseasonably chilly rainstorm did little to deter the throng of die-hard fans, who huddled outside the theater for hours in advance of Madonna's arrival. Also in attendance at the premiere, which was hosted by the Cinema Society and Dolce & Gabbana, were Kelly Osbourne, Nicky Hilton, Martha Stewart, Andy Cohen and longtime Madonna pal Debi Mazar, among other celebs.
The film itself, which made its EPIX debut on June 22, captures the dizzying excitement of the live show, from its violent opening to the much-discussed mashup of "Express Yourself" with Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," right down to Madonna's saucy "Like a Virgin/Love Spent" striptease. Although it was mostly filmed in Miami, "Madonna: The MDNA Tour" also features footage from performances in New York, Paris, London and Buenos Aires.
Following the screening, the Material Girl thanked fans with a self-moderated and refreshingly low-key Q&A session. Calling MDNA "the hardest tour I've ever done," Madonna said of the show's gravity-defying dance routines, "In my book, if you don't leave a pound of flesh on the stage every night, you did not do your job ... Go hard or go home."

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...

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,...
