Jennifer Lopez Is Open To Adoption

“American Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez already has two children with estranged husband Marc Anthony. She has revealed on Saturday that she would be open to adoption in the future.

She was promoting her new movie “What To Expect When You’re Expecting”, in which she plays a woman who adopts Ethiopian twins. As a result of her part in the movie, Jennifer said that she “could see myself definitely doing it and being open to it for sure whereas before I never thought about it really.”

She also talked about having troubles bonding with her twins, Max and Emme, right after their births. She said, “I felt sad and depressed and thought the babies didn’t love me.”

Now that Jennifer is cozying up to her current boyfriend Casper Smart, it’s being said that she is warming up to the idea of marriage and babies with the former backup dancer. With regard to adoption, Jennifer heaped praise on Madonna and Angelina Jolie for going that route. She said, “I commend them for it. I think it’s a beautiful thing. I think it’s a very selfless act of love to adopt a child who you don’t know and never seen before and never met before.”

Jean Paul-Gaultier Designs Madonna Inspired Coke Bottles (Video)

Here, you can check out the new Madonna inspired Jean Paul Gaultier designed Diet Coke bottles! The designer and soda brand have no official ties with the iconic singer, except for when he designed her cone bra outfit from 1990.

The famous French designer was just appointed the creative director over at Diet Coke, so apparently he just wanted to pay homage to the legendary singer. His first order of business? Creating the lovely bottles showcasing the Queen of Pop’s signature style along with his own look: white and blue stripes. Cute, right?

The cream colored bottle features the cone bra and is painted with a fishnet corset. Unfortunately for all of us fans here in the United States, we will be unable to get our filthy paws on the newly designed bottles. They are only going to be made available for the soda giant’s European campaign. Will someone in Europe kindly send us a bottle?

Below, you can watch the television spot for the new Coke campaign:


Do you want a Madonna inspired bottle of Diet Coke? Collectors, where are you?

Madonna Launches Truth Or Dare Fragrance

by on Mar.09, 2012, under articles

Madonna Launches Truth Or Dare Fragrance

Madonna has offered her new ad for her first fragrance, appropriately called Truth Or Dare. She looks like her old self in this ad — don’t you think? She looks as if she’s 20 years younger!

Madonna previously told Women’s Wear Daily, “I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me but that other people could relate to as well: something honest, and yet darling, hence the name Truth or Dare.”

Us Magazine reports:

The perfume has top notes of gardenia, tuberose and neroli with base notes of vanilla, amber and musk.

Although it officially goes on sale exclusively at Macys April 1, shoppers can secure their own bottle during a pre-sale for a limited time.

Does this sound like a fragrance that you’re likely to purchase? What do you think?

Madonna Didn’t Change Song Title For Joe Francis

by on Feb.28, 2012, under articles

Madonna Didn't Change Song Title For Joe Francis

Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis threatened Madonna with a lawsuit if she performed her song, then titled Girls Gone Wild, if she performed it at the Super Bowl earlier this year. Since, Madonna has changed the title of her song to Girl Gone Wild.

According to her manager, Guy Oseary, Madge didn’t change the name of her song because of Joe’s legal threats. Guy said that he found it laughable that Joe called the song change a victory after his camp sent the singer a cease and desist letter over the Super Bowl performance. He also revealed that no one in Madge’s camp even received Joe’s letter.

Guy also revealed that they changed the song’s title because that’s the way that she sings it in the song itself. TMZ has more:

And Oseary scoffs at Francis’ claim that he owns the title, “Girls Gone Wild,” citing a Billboard story that claims there are 50 records called “Girls Gone Wild,” including songs by Ludacris, Jagged Edge, T Mills, Lee Kernaghan, Lil Rick and Jackie Kashian.

And finally, Oseary says Madonna doesn’t even know who Joe Francis is … and claims she’s completely unaware he’s been making threats.

Do you think she had the song changed because of Joe’s threats? Or is her manager right in saying that she doesn’t even know who he is? What do you think?

Madonna Responds To M.I.A.’s Super Bowl Middle Finger

by on Feb.10, 2012, under articles

Madonna performed her butt off at the 2012 Super Bowl half-time show. If you blinked, then you likely missed M.I.A. giving the audience and the cameras the middle finger.

Now, the Queen of Pop is responding to the gesture, calling it childish and stupid. During a call in to On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Madge said, “I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it.”

She went on to say, “I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity, it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager…irrelevant thing to do…there was such a feeling of love and unity there. What was the point? It was just out of place.”

Did you find the incident rather juvenile? Or do you think that M.I.A. can do whatever she pleases when she has a camera pointed at her? Did it ruin the half-time show for you? Or did you even notice the bird flipping incident?

Sound off in the comments!

Up Yours, NBC Censors: M.I.A. Hit And Runs Super Bowl Half-Time Show With Profanity/Middle Finger

by on Feb.06, 2012, under articles

Performer M.I.A. — Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam — deftly disguised herself as a singer and infiltrated the heavy Super Bowl security of NBC, and the TSA, and the DHS. Her mission? To flip a middle finger to the camera all while singing a four-letter word that is part of “Luvin”‘s original lyrics.

Might as well get the wWAAAAH-mbulance on standby for the outraged parents groups that will surely come out of the woodwork over something their kids probably didn’t even notice. I know I certainly didn’t catch it during the live broadcast. It got past, after which an attempted digital blurring came oh so late. NBC censors either fell asleep at the wheel, or someone thought it was good entertainment (it is, now).

The real question is if stage-mate Madonna will ultimately come forward to stick up for them or let them twist in the wind should an FCC fine be levied. In 2004, Janet Jackson’s wardrobe fiasco ultimately led to a whopping $550,000 headache payable to the finger-wagging nanny state.

UPDATE: The New Yorker is erroneously reporting that M.I.A. has apologized, based on an LA Times story that cites a “source, who requested anonymity but was with the artist at Lucas Oil Stadium.” Her publicists at Interscope have issued a “no comment.” We are following this story intently, mostly because we know at the end of the day an entourage lackey speaking out of turn doesn’t mean squat.

As I predicted before, Parents Television Council has become the first outraged parent group to rush to the scene with stern words. I humbly suggest they spend their time and energy providing a useful product for parental television control, not blowing hot air over a bunch of known provocative artists.

Did Madonna Lip-Sync During Super Bowl Half-Time Show?

Did Madonna Lip-Sync During Super Bowl Half-Time Show?

Madonna kicked so much butt last night at her Super Bowl half-time performance. She sang a lot of her old hits and even mixed in her newest song, Give Me All Your Luvin’. In case you’ve missed it, you can watch the full video here.

The show was made that much better with the additions of Cee Lo Green, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. Well maybe not M.I.A., considering she’s got everyone’s panties in a bunch over her middle finger incident. But still, you can’t deny the fact that Madonna proved that she’s still worth whatever fans are shelling out for her shows. Her performance was grandiose, well executed and went on without a hitch. (Except for an almost stumble, but you try to walk on some bleachers in those boots.)

Elton John previously said on Good Morning America that Madonna would likely not be singing live, telling her to “lip sync good”. Still, even though she may have been lip-syncing, she still rocked the show. We would invite you to try and do better, at her age.

Do you care if she was lip-syncing during her performance? Or were you just sitting back and enjoying the show?

Madonna’s Super Bowl Half-Time Performance Video

Madonna's Super Bowl Half-Time Performance

Madonna came into tonight’s Super Bowl for her half-time performance and showed the world why she’s worth such expensive concert tickets. She told fans recently to scrape the money together, she’s worth it. We believe her now, after her spectacular medley of hits – old and new.

She took the stage and wow’ed everyone with hits like Like A Prayer, Give Me All Your Luvin’ and Vogue. It was an excellent performance and Madonna really brought it!

At one point during her performance, it looked like she lost her footing and was ready to fall — but she quickly regained her ground.

We’ll have the video up when it’s available. For now, let us know what you thought about her performance at tonight’s game? Was it wonderful? Or did you find it to be less than what you expected?

At the end of Like A Prayer, Madonna disappeared. She’s presumed to be getting beamed back to England to work on her British accent.

Update: Here’s part of the the FULL video:

Madonna Disses Lady Gaga; Compares Her To Britney Spears

by on Feb.04, 2012, under articles

It is the second time in a week that the Queen of Pop, Madonna, has decided to dis Lady Gaga. Just a few days ago, Madonna said that she didn’t want to attend any Oscars after-parties if Gaga’s name was also on the guest list.

A source claimed, “It’s unusual for Madonna to be so petty. She doesn’t usually act like this, even about bitter enemies such as Sean Penn and J-Lo. But she didn’t want to be forced into a photo-op with Gaga.”

On January 13th, Madonna commented for the first time with her reaction to Gaga’s song, Born This Way. The song was basically Express Yourself, only revamped. She said, “I thought ‘what a wonderful way to redo my song.’ I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was…interesting.”

In a new interview with The Advocate, Madge is questioned about the newer superstar. She was told that Time magazine recently called her the Lady Gaga of the 80′s. She responded to that by saying, “I have no thoughts. What’s the question?”

When asked her thoughts on how Gaga connects with her fans, Madge says, “It seems genuine. It seems natural, and I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm. I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick sh**house.”

Madonna’s Super Bowl Show Won’t Be X-Rated

by on Feb.01, 2012, under articles

Madonna has revealed that her Super Bowl half-time show won’t be x-rated!

No wardrobe malfunctions! Take note, Janet!

During a recent interview with Jay Leno, she said, “Well for sure no nipples. I wasn’t gonna go there. I mean I don’t like to repeat myself or do what other people have done before me.”

She continued, “It’s the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever done. The Super Bowl is, like, kind of the holy of holies, it’s the sacred show of America. And I have to go on in the middle of that holy of holies and put on the greatest show that was ever been put on before.”

She added, “And here’s the crazy part – I have eight minutes to set up the stage and seven minutes to take it down. I’m not sure why I got cheated on the other side. I’m particularly nervous with a show like that because, for instance, they’re playing football all day so they don’t really have time to do a soundcheck. It’s a little bit like a circus act – get in there, roll out my carpet, put on my show and get the f**k off.”

Will you watch Madonna’s Super Bowl circus act?

Madonna Doesn’t Want To Attend Oscars Parties With Lady Gaga

by on Jan.30, 2012, under articles

Madonna has already commented for the first time about Lady Gaga ripping off her song, Express Yourself, for her song, Born This Way. Now, it appears that she is stepping up her feud with the pop singer.

Reportedly, Madonna has insisted that if people want her to attend their Oscars after-parties, then Lady Gaga’s name better not be on the guest list.

A source said, “It’s unusual for Madonna to be so petty. She doesn’t usually act like this, even about bitter enemies such as Sean Penn and J-Lo. But she didn’t want to be forced into a photo-op with Gaga.”

Would you want to come face-to-face with your obvious copycat? Our guess is no. Still, we have to say that we like both artist’s music, so perhaps she should be flattered?

Madonna also recently admitted to being a “details freak”, especially when it came to her movie, W.E. She said, “I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a control freak, but I am a detail freak. I chose the costumes, the locations, the lamps, the tables, the carpets, the drapes – everything. I also liked to put the finishing touches on the actors before they did their scenes – you know, with their hair or clothes.”

She added, “Putting a bracelet or something on to Andrea Riseborough’s wrist gave me an emotional connection before directing her. Some of the jewelry we used was actually Wallis Simpson’s.”

Madonna Comments On Lady Gaga’s Born This Way

Madonna Comments On Lady Gaga's Born This Way

If you’ve heard Lady Gaga’s song, Born This Way and it immediately made you think of Madonna’s song, Express Yourself — then you’re not alone. As soon as the album came out, fans of the singers were drawing comparisons.

Up until now, Madonna has been pretty mum on the topic. When responding to the comparisons, Lady Gaga only offered that she is a huge fan of Madonna’s. Now, Madonna is giving her own opinion on the songs.

In a new interview, Madonna said, “I thought ‘what a wonderful way to redo my song.’ I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was…interesting.”

Either way, they are both good songs. What we are wondering is why it took so long for Madge to address the copycat rumors. Lady Gaga’s album was released in May of 2011 and she has waited until 2012 to talk about it. Could it be out of respect for Gaga? Or could it be because she’s releasing her twelfth album, M.D.N.A., this year?

What do you think? What do you have to say about Madge’s comments on Gaga’s album? It was pretty obvious that Gaga refurbished the song to suit her own needs, but should Madonna have waited so long to say something about it? Thoughts?

Madonna Brings Her Own Bottle & Crystal Glasses To Parties

Madonna Brings Her Own Bottle & Crystal Glasses To Parties

At a recent dinner party, Madonna brought her young boyfriend Brahim Zaibat along with her — and her own bottle of red wine. So does Madge have a certain wine preference? What’s even more strange was the fact that she also brought along two crystal wine glasses.

An eyewitness said, “She brought her own red wine in a bag, along with two beautiful crystal glasses. They poured the wine and immediately put the bottle back in the bag, so nobody could see what it was. At the end, they took the empty wine bottle and the glasses with them. We couldn’t figure out if Madonna prefers specific wine or is a total germaphobe.”

Isn’t that just weird? Who brings their own wine and glasses with them to dinner? Then, they shoved that mess back in the bag so no one could identify the bottle. Perhaps she has a wine preference AND she’s a germaphobe?

What do you think?

Madonna’s new man: Brahim Rachiki?

by on Oct.18, 2010, under articles

Rumor has it that Madonna has left Jesus Luz in the dust to start dating her choreographer, Brahim Rachiki.

The twosome were said to be clubbing in New York’s SL nightclub, sparking rumors that they’ve hooked up. A source said, “They came in together and were holding hands in a private area. Madonna got up and was dancing for an hour straight before going back to her man. They immediately started making out in front of other guests. After working the dance floor, they found more private seating where they hugged and kissed for the rest of the night.”

Jesus is hotter. Just sayin’.

Madonna upset over Photoshopped Dolce & Gabbana ad leaks

by on Oct.05, 2010, under articles

When the unretouched photos of Madonna’s ads for Dolce & Gabbana leaked, the Material Girl was furious and is demanding blood! Okay, maybe not blood, but she is super mad over the whole kerfuffle.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Apparently when Madonna spied those unretouched photos of her from a Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign — leaked on the Internet — the superstar went super-crazy with anger.

As a result there’s an intense investigation under way to discover who was responsible for letting the world see the Material Mom looking so haggard.

Obviously, she doesn’t want to be referred to on the internet as a granny. But if the shoe fits, you might as well wear it. Even if it is super-expensive and studded with diamonds.

Madonna cleans floors in new Dolce & Gabbana ad

by on Aug.25, 2010, under articles

The queen of pop, Madonna, was photographed scrubbing floors in this new ad for Dolce & Gabbana.

I just love the black and white photos of her, but I really want to see the pre-Photoshop version of the pictures.

She does look great! Don’t the ads come off as a bit sexist, though? The last one she did for D&G showed her doing the dishes. I was surprised that she even knew how.

What do you think?

Christina Aquilera – The New Wedding Singer!???

by on Aug.20, 2010, under articles

….and the hits just keep on a coming!

It has been reported that due to DISMAL record sales, and lacklustre concert ticket sales (resulting in a canceled tour), that former pop superstar CHRISTINA AGUILERA has taken to doing weddings and bar mitzvahs to make ends meet.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

I just love to see things like this happen… I know, I’m awful! But who cares!?? What AGUILERA needs to do, is get some ORIGINAL ideas for a change… quit copying BRITNEY, or MADONNA, or most recently LADY GAGA!

They are all better at what they do than she is, end of story. I mean the girl definitely has a great voice, but she’s SO irritating! I swear I wanna shoot myself every time I hear her!

She was apparently trying to charge £1.3 Million  per gig. HA! That’s totally laughable! I’m glad her hubby Jason Bratman had the sense to convince her she’s not worth more than £157,000.

I wish her well in her new career. Adam Sandler made it look like SO much fun… LOL!

Meet Lola, Madonna’s 13-year-old fashion guru

by on Jun.29, 2010, under articles

Lola, or Lourdes Leon as we know her, is a upcoming fashion queen with her 80′s inspired styles…but there are some things that she does not like….gladiator sandals, for instance. For a teenager, she writes well and for Madonna’s daughter, we would expect no less.

She’s helping launch the Material Girl Collection and took to the official blog to introduce herself. Text after the jump! (continue reading…)

Lindsay Lohan releases third album details

by on Apr.26, 2010, under articles

Since Lindsay Lohan isn’t partying it up or falling out of clubs anymore (so she says), she’s been feverishly on Twitter, retweeting fans proclamations of how much they love her, etc.

In the midst of all of that, a fan asked about her upcoming third album, to which she replied, “snoop dogg is on it… and i can’t say the others yet!! kara d and jr rotem wrote a track that has a madonna undertone.. shhhh lol”

Translation from crackie to English: Snoop Dogg collaborated and Kara DioGuardi and J.R. Rotem wrote a song for the album. It’s going to resemble something that Madonna has done, but what hasn’t she done? So that’s cryptic.

Are you excited for her new album? Or do you care what she does anymore as long as she goes away?

Madonna calls Glee episode ‘genius’

by on Apr.20, 2010, under articles

Even though there were rumors stating that Madonna said she didn’t own a television and had no idea what Glee is, she has come forth to say that the episode dedicated to her was nothing but genius.

The episode honoring Madge airs tonight, and she couldn’t be more happier about it. She said, “The dialogue and the entire script was genius. I completely appreciated the layers of irony, especially when all those macho boys sang ‘What It Feels Like For A Girl’. I also loved the fantastic performances of ‘Vogue,’ ‘Express Yourself’ and all the messages about the boys being respectful to girls.”

After the jump for a sneak peek at tonight’s Madonna episode! (continue reading…)

Madonna turns down Glee appearance

by on Apr.15, 2010, under articles

Madonna has turned down a guest appearance on Glee, because she doesn’t own a television and has never heard of the show.

The show’s producers were happy to hear that Madge gave the green light to the show to use her back catalog. So much, that they offered her a guest spot on the episode dedicated to her music. She has declined!

A source said, “Madonna doesn’t have a TV and has no idea what Glee is. The show did ask her if she wanted to make an appearance in the much-hyped Madonna episode. She said, ‘No, thanks’, and to be honest she would rather they sing an Elton John song than butcher one of hers.”

Then why was permission granted for them to butcher one of hers?

David Guetta feared working with Madonna

by on Apr.12, 2010, under articles

DJ David Guetta said that he was terrified of working with Madonna, because he’d heard so much about her supposed difficult behavior. She convinced him to work on her upcoming album, after he garnered fame working with Kelly Rowland and Akon.

David said that he was nervous about the pairing, but was stunned by her friendliness.

He said, “Madonna really is the sweetest person. I was totally paranoid before I met her because of all of the stuff that everyone says, but she is really very normal. We spoke about life, love and our children. I was completely seduced.”

I can’t wait for her new album to come out. I hope it’s more like her older stuff, circa 1985.
