Madonna’s Give Me All Your Luvin

The lead-off single from the album MDNA, featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., was released as a digital single on February 3rd 2012. The worldwide radio and video premiere followed the same day. The cheerleader track seems to have been written specifically for its performance during the halftime show of the Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5th at the Lucas Oil Stadium of Indianapolis.

A demo version of the song leaked online in November 2011. A few weeks later, a Spanish fan was arrested for the leak (though he was released soon after). The final version turned out quite similar, except for added vocals by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.

The track became Madonna's record-extending 38th US Top 10 hit, peaking at #10 after a full week of sales boosted by the Super Bowl performance. It received a Digital Gold certificate in the US as well.

The Deluxe Edition of the album includes the Party Rock Remix, created by, and with additional vocals of the group LMFAO, who also joined Madonna at the Super Bowl halftime show.

The video, which was directed by Megaforce early December 2011, features Madonna with her bad girls Nicki Minaj and M.I.A in a cheerleader/football theme inspired by the Super Bowl. No matter how many people appear in the video, there's clearly only one star in the spotlights. The football players fight for her attention by filling puddles with their jackets as she walks by, and taking bullets from a machine gun for her. Madonna reminds us both of a sexy Bond girl as well as her own Marilyn Monroe persona from the Material Girl video. The video premiered on Madonna's YouTube channel on February 3rd and received 1,5 million views that same day.

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,...
