Madonna Extreme

It was a night of toasting new friendships and old flames. As Madonna performed to a packed house in Vancouver on Wednesday night new pal Amy Schumer was in the audience standing right next to her ex-husband Sean Penn. The 57-year-old Queen of Pop interrupted her show to have a shot with Schumer as 55-year-old Sean stood by. Trainwreck star Amy, 34, was standing right next to Penn near the front of the stage as Madge performed her racy show.It was just last month that the comedienne realized a lifelong dream by opening for Madonna with her standup comedy act. And Schumer proved she really is a fan of the Like A Virgin singer as she attended another concert, this time simply as an admirer.However, the two clearly have formed a bond as Madonna chose to imbibe some firewater in a celebratory toast during her show. But perhaps more significant was the presence of the Mystic River actor, who was married to the pop queen from 1985 to 1989. To say they’ve had a volatile relationsh...

The Queen of Pop has reigned for nearly four decades and lest anyone forgets, she stopped in on Vancouver Wednesday evening with a strongly worded reminder: “B-tch, I’m Madonna.” The perpetual hitmaker performed at Rogers Arena this week as part of her 2015 Rebel Heart Tour, to the delight of her devoted fans. Madonna, now 57, has been a part of pop culture’s fabric since her self-titled debut was released in 1983 by Sire Records. Since then, a steady stream of singles, film appearances and business ventures have kept Madonna at the forefront of pop consciousness. Her career has been built on a daring and wild style, as well as hits like 1984’s “Like a Virgin”, 1987’s “La Isla Bonita”, 1998’s “Ray of Light” and 2005’s “Hung Up.” Most recently, Madonna teamed up with the ever-controversial Nicki Minaj for “B-tch, I’m Madonna,” a four-minute party track that walks a fine line between re-establishing dominance as the Queen of Pop, and desperately grasping at what might be a fa...

On October 15 1992, Madonna threw a pre-release "Sex Book" launch party at New York City's Industria Superstudio, and signed all the invitations under her Sex alter ego "Dita" During the party, Madonna showed up dressed as  Little Bo Peep  and even carried with her a stuffed toy lamb. Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg showed concern at first due to "what the parents of America's impressionable teens will soon be thinking" but later said that it "all depends on your idea of lovemaking, which in Madonna's case, should give new meaning to the word erotic". Both  Waldenbooks  and  Barnes & Noble  prepared corporate statements that the managers could share with customers who are offended by  Sex . (Both statements defended the right of bookstores to provide "diversity and choice" to customers and say censorship is not the role of bookstores.) Many book stores, too, stated that the book would not be sold to anyone un...

In 1993 Rolling Stone: "The 100 Top Music Videos" included "Express yourself" at # 10, "Like a Prayer" at # 20, "Borderline" at # 24, "Vogue" at # 28, "Justify My Love" at # 43, and "Oh Father" at # 66.

Credits Written by Madonna and Shep Pettibone Produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone Sequencing, keyboards and programming by Shep Pettibone and Tony Shimkin Additional keyboards by Joe Moskowitz Erotica contains a sample of 'Jungle Boogie', performed by Kool & The Gang. The original version of Erotica with different lyrics is known as  You Thrill Me  among fans. Though there's no mention of this in the credits, Madonna also used a traditional Christian-Arabic hymn as backing vocals. The female voice that you hear in the background is actually Arabic singer Fayrouz, who sang 'Alyawm Olliqa' in 1964. The use of this religious song - which is still played on Friday before Easter in Middle East countries - created a big controversy over there and led to a ban on the  Erotica  album in many Middle East regions. Single Madonna's raunchy sex period climaxed with the release of the  Erotica  album and the Sex book in the fall of 1992. The...

We have learned a very bad news about the next single off  Madonna ‘s  Rebel Heart :  Devil Pray  WON’T be a single! Devil Pray was been taken into consideration by  Madonna  herself as the second single, than they chose  Ghosttown  because Madonna was not convinced by the video plot for Devil, and also because Ghosttown became one of fans favourite songs. Then after Bitch I’m Madonna, Devil Pray was been taken into account to become the 4th single, but at a later stage the staff took the decision to NOT publish it. Since  Devil Pray  is definitely out of the game,  Dirty Pop  was authorised to publish some remixes on his  Soundcloud  account. At the moment there’s  no plan for a 4th single , and we are extremely sad because we think that Rebel Heart  is a great album with several  pop gems  that could help the album to rise the charts again… We hope the Rebel Heart e...

Madonna ‘s Rebel Heart tour is filled with surprises (like Amy Schumer’s hilarious opening standup and the lack of Madge’s nakedness on stage — seriously, she covers up more than usual!), but as fans who have already seen the show know, her performances are very nostalgic, celebrating the Queen of Pop’s various iconic career moments over the past 30+ years. One of those moments is  Madonna’s 1991 Oscars performance , when she channeled Marilyn Monroe for her performance of “Sooner or Later.” She also hit the red carpet with close friend Michael Jackson dressed like Marilyn’s Gentleman Prefer Blondes  character. RON GALELLA/WIREIMAGE Madonna brings back that look in her Rebel Heart tour book and for a special video played during her performances. And to help her create the Marilyn moment, celeb-loved jeweler Neil Lane provided $10 million worth of diamonds. (Because when you’re Madonna, anything is possible!) “I sent hundreds of images of necklaces, earrings, and...

Released back in 1987 when a pop Christmas album was the exception rather than the rule, this compilation-for-charity set a standard that still is pretty hard to beat today. How many charity albums can you name that had heavyweights like U2, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, etc, while also introducing people to rap's first Christmas song courtesy of Run DMC? To show it's significance compare the album to its sequels; by the time AVSC 5 came out in 2001 the album was filled with the likes of Eve 6, City High, SR-71(?), and so on; not quite the same A-listers. Not to mention AVSC's songs have become classics over the years; U2's Christmas (Please Come Home), Eurythmics' Winter Wonderland, Stevie Nicks' Silent Night, etc. all get regular airplay every Christmas. Madonna does a excellent job on "Santa Baby," all the while using her voice to convey subtle (and maybe not so subtle) romantic innuendos. Eartha Kitt still rules for "Santa...
