MALAWI’S president has savaged Madonna, accusing her of making “the poor dance for her”.
Joyce Banda hit out as the star visited the tiny African state this week.

But Mrs Banda claimed the singer reneged of a pledge to build a £10million academy for girls and opted to build 10 schools — without consulting officials.

He added: “Every single one of the schools is a free standing structure.”
The Who’s That Girl singer also posted a picture of her and daughter Lourdes, 16. cuddling orphans on their trip.

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is.
