Looks like Gaga can go on a Holiday this year
and her Little Monsters can hibernate...
In a tale that was last spun in 1990 where Madonna Mania covered the globe was when
She released the "SEX"Book , Erotica -the album, and tat Movie- Body df Evidence.
with imagery of SEX, Sexuals innuendos bursting at the seams...leather and lace
and lotsa of skin of other Celebrities too. Has the Queen of pop gone too far than?
the Sex Book sold wthin hours of being on the market, the frenzy of the metallic covered book
dulled the Album -Erotica altho any Madonna Fan will never agree.
Nevertheless has she become smarter this time around ? So What is in the Cards this time ?
W.E -her much acclaimed Directorial debut...the story of Royalty, Love and Scandal that rocked a Nation.
Give me all your Love -lead song for her upcoming album.
MDNA-new album with the likes of collobaration with Nicki Minaj..among others

MADONNA: WAL STREET JOURNAL INTERVIEW
Madonna is in heavy promotion mode.
Madonna has been seen everywhere promoting her film W.E. Madonna has premiere the movie in the UK and New York City. Madonna has been on the Nortan Graham show, Anderson Cooper and much more.
Well Madonna has an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Madonna talks about her movie her new album and much more. Here is what Madonna had to say:
You have a movie coming out, a fragrance, a new album and a tour—and now the Super Bowl. Was this a master plan?
Madonna: No, everything kind of converged in a bottleneck. I was always planning on making a record when I finished my film but I ended up finishing my film much later than I had expected so, because I had already scheduled time with all the producers and writers for my record, I had to multitask and work on my record at the same time I was finishing my film. And then somehow it worked out that the record was being finished right around the time the movie was coming out. Then I got talked into doing the Super Bowl.
That sounds like a lot of obligations.
I want to do everything really well. I kept saying to my manager, “I don’t want to do the Super Bowl unless I can really give it my all, and really focus all my attention on it.” And he said, “Don’t worry! There won’t be any problems. You’ll be able to concentrate just on the Super Bowl.” Now of course my movie is coming out during the Super Bowl so it’s a little bit nerve-racking.
How’s the rehearsing going?
It’s not an easy show to do because you have such a short period of time to set the stage up. And you’re performing in the round so you can’t direct anything that walks off anybody’s sight line. You have eight minutes to put your stage together, 12 minutes to do the show and seven minutes to take it down.
What did you find so fascinating about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor?
What intrigued me about their story was how polarized people felt about her and him, and the abdication [of King Edward VIII], and that period of history and what they were: Did they love each other? Were they Nazis? Was he gay? Was she vicious and a social climber? They were a very controversial couple. I am very interested in that period of history, prewar England, and in deconstructing the cult of celebrity, which is another layer of the film, the way we peg and sort of diminish a lot of people who we don’t understand and who we are afraid of.
What convinced you that they were not Nazi sympathizers?
Research. And not being able to find any empirical evidence whatsoever that they were. People came to me and said they were, and I said, “OK, show me. Prove it to me. What is the evidence? That [Edward] had a meeting with Hitler in 1936? Give me the reason.” It would always go back to “This is what I heard.”
Did you identify with Wallis Simpson on a personal level, in the way she was judged all the time?
Yes, to a certain extent. I think that she didn’t have the ability to defend herself the way I do now, or we do now. It was a different time. The media was different, and women didn’t have the choices that they do now. Even so, there were moments, there were lines in her letters that I thought, “I could have written that.”
Anything in particular that resonated?
Just the experience of being treated unfairly in the press, not having a nice word said about you. There was a time where I actually read what people wrote about me, and that’s a slippery slide to get on. So, if you do that, and you’re doing something controversial or unpopular, then you’re just going to be reading a bunch of stuff that isn’t nice about you. I certainly know that feeling of devastation, like “Oh, my God, the whole world’s turned against me.”
So, you really don’t read any press about yourself?
No. I haven’t even read any reviews of my film yet, and I don’t want to.
When did you decide to ignore all that?
When I adopted my son from Africa and I was accused of kidnapping him. I was so devastated by what people wrote about me, that people basically accused me of doing something criminal. That was my turning point.
