Madonna Still Annoyed Over M.I.A.’s “Teenager” Super Bowl Bird Flip

Can you guess the only thing Madonna hates more than hydrangeas? For the last time, nothing! That being said, it seems like M.I.A.’s Super Bowl middle finger stunt has also gotten stuck in Madge’s craw something fierce. “I wasn’t happy about it. 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,” the singer complained to Ryan Seacrest‘s KIIS-FM show this morning. “It’s one of the those things, 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.” Yeah, have some since of decorum, M.I.A.! You’re embarrassing LMFAO, the greased-up golden gladiators and the guy who bounces on a slackline junk-first!

Madonna echoed a similar sentiment on Carson Daly‘s radio show this morning, even getting into M.I.A.‘s personal apology. “I like her and you know I believe in people having individuality and I like her punk rock attitude,” Madonna said of the “Bad Girls” singer. “I know she feels bad…I accept her apology, but you know, I think she still has her head in the sand right now. I’m not sure,” she admitted. Man, imagine how peeved Madge would be if there had been a full-blown wardrobe malfunction. Wait a minute…we saw right up that slackline guy’s toga! SOMEONE SOUND THE ALARM! BRING US THE EYE BLEACH, QUICKLY!

Madonna’s Stalker On The Loose After Escaping From Psych Hopsital

Madonna may be on top of the world after her stellar Super Bowl performance and the release of her hot new single, but now she’s got some pretty terrifying news to deal with. Her convicted stalker has reportedly escaped from his mental healthcare facility and is currently on the loose in Los Angeles. The LAPD released a statement today saying that the patient, 54-year-old Robert Dewey Hoskins, “is a very psychotic man when not taking his medication and has very violent tendencies.”

Hoskins was arrested back in 1996 for stalking the super star, and sentenced to ten years in state prison. According to court testimony, the man repeatedly showed up at Madonna’s Hollywood estate and made threats to kill her, her body guards and her personal assistants. ”I feel incredibly disturbed that the man who repeatedly threatened my life is sitting across the room from me,” Madonna said during the trial. “I feel we are making his fantasies come true.” She also admitted to having nightmares where she was being chased. Anyone with information on Hoskins’ whereabouts are urged to get in contact with the Los Angeles Police Department. Hang in there, Madge!

Madonna’s Super Bowl Outfits Remind Us Of All That Is Righteous And Important About Pop Culture

All Hail Queen Madonna! How much more appropriate can you get considering her grand entrance at her incredible (seriously, mind-boggling) Super Bowl Halftime show took its cues from another legendary queen. The next photograph shall elaborate.

Walk like an Egyptian, bay-bee! Only Madge could take on the awesomeness that was Elizabeth Taylor‘s unforgetable entrance into Rome in the film Cleopatra. Come to think of it, Madonna’s entire performance reminded of us of all that is pop culture, old and new. Seriously guys, her fashion cues through the whole shebang — with guest spots by LMFAO, Cee-Lo Green, M.I.A and Nicki Minaj — reminded us of a couple things that hold a very high importance in entertainment graph. Don’t believe us? The Liz Taylor connection didn’t do it for you? Fine, then click after the jump. (more…)

Is M.I.A.’s Flipping The Bird At Super Bowl The New Nipplegate?

That’s it. They’re probably going to have hymns or something at the next Super Bowl. While Madonna guaranteed no Janet Jackson-esque nipple slips at her show during halftime, she probably didn’t feel the need to add any more clauses to her promise. Like “My guests and I won’t flip the bird on national television” for instance. M.I.A, as you probably saw last night and as evidenced from the photograph above, decided to point her middle finger directly at the cameras during her performance with Queen Madge for ”Give Me All Your Luvin’.”

While we’re having a giggle about it, we’d still like to pose a question to you. Did she cross the line here? Considering most families in the country were united in watching the show, did her conscious effort to be — what’s the word for it? — “rebellious” really turn you off? Or are the rules totally different for artists, especially since there was no nudity? Also, how do you think Madonna’s feeling about M.I.A. stealing some of the post-performance headlines today?

Madonna Compares Lady Gaga To Britney Spears. As A Compliment. Sort Of.

Only a fabulous ice queen like Madonna could say something nice about a fellow pop star and have it seem like an insult. Or did she insult her and have it feel like praise? We honestly don’t know! In her new interview with The Advocate, the “Give Me All Your Luvin” singer delivers her compliments for Lady Gaga the only way she knows how: with a powerful backhand. “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.” Madonna said of the “Born This Way” chanteuse. “I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick s–thouse.” Ouch! Though…should Gaga want to be a “s–thouse”? It has the s word in it! Should Britney be offended now? Madonna, you are some kind of beef mastermind.

Compared to Madge’s previous comments about Lady Gaga, however, calling her a poorly constructed outhouse might be as close to an olive branch as we’re going to get. “I thought, What a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was … interesting,” Madonna told Newsweek last month with regards to Gaga’s “Born This Way,” having also snarked about Gaga’s “obsessions having to do with me” to French paper Le Soir in September. “She seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men,” Madonna concludes to The Advocate. Thank…you? That is…sweet? We smell a…duets album?

Madonna Has A Voodoo Doll Of Director Who Rejected Her

On The Tonight Show last night, Jay Leno dared to ask Madonna about movie auditions that didn’t do so well for her. This is after she claimed that when casting for W.E., she tried her best to make actors “feel at ease” during their audition process because she knows how much auditioning can suck. Her reaction was the kind of classic Madonna that makes us wonder what director would dare make her not at ease.

“What did you audition for that you sucked at?” Leno asked.

“Oh. [Pause] … I’m not telling,” she said, laughing a little as she say back and crossed her arms. “I just remember doing an audition once and then afterwards it was just total silence, and the director just went, ‘Thank you.’ … Then there’s the other kind of audition where you audition for something like eight times. You just keep coming back and auditioning. It’s like a kind of torture. I did that for a film and then I ended up not getting the part and that was not very pleasant. I have a voodoo doll of that director.”

So, who would that director be? (more…)

Madonna To Perform With LMFAO, And Other Reasons We’ll Watch The Super Bowl

The only way we could be more psyched about the Super Bowl is….well, if we cared more about sports. But the other only way we would be more psyched is if Animal Planet‘s Puppy Bowl and Super Bowl merged into one adorable bowl. We say “only” because so far, this year’s game is looking pretty excellent. For example, early this week it was announced that both Cee Lo Green and LMFAO will allegedly be joining Madonna for her big half-time performance. Man, we wish we could have seen Madge’s face when she heard she had to perform next to RedFoo and SkyBlu; you know she hates giant shuffling hamsters. A few of other reasons to be excited come February that aren’t the Patriots or the Giants include:

Ferris Bueller returns: Oooooooh yeaaaaaah! Yesterday we saw a sneak-peak of Matthew Broderick channeling his classic slacker role in a forthcoming Super Bowl ad, mostly likely for Honda. Just don’t let Cameron drive it, dude. Or lean on it. Or near it.
Football pants: Have you seen them? They are truly some of the best pants. Top three pants of all time.
Nicki Minaj: Self-explanatory, but listen to “Stupid Hoe” a few hundred times if you aren’t sure. Did we mention she will reportedly be joined by M.I.A. during the half-time show as well? It’s like a Puppy Bowl…for the ears!
That 50 Cent Super Bowl bet: Admit it. If Curtis actually has the cojones tan grandes to tweet a photo of his bathing suit region if and when the Giants win, you are going to look at it. Do not lie to us.

Besides, that Puppy Bowl/Super Bowl thing isn’t ever going to happen anyway. What if someone stepped on a puppy? We would have to throw away TV. Not just ours. Like, all of it.

Madonna Chokes Up, And Not Because Of Her Unfortunate Outfit

Madonna attended the New York premiere of her film W.E. at the Ziegfeld Theatre on Monday night wearing … this. Lord knows we love us some Madge, and want her to look kick-ass all the fricking time, because she is so kick-ass. And then she goes and puts on one of the most frou-frou designers of our time — Marchesa. What can we say about those sleeves? Where’s an edit button when you need one? This wouldn’t be half so bad if it didn’t look as if her shoulders had sprouted a mustache.

The fact that she shared quite a poignant and totally unexpected moment with the audience makes the outfit even more galling. She let guests know, “Anybody that knows me knows that when I’m tired, I cry. If I cry, please, just don’t hold it against me. I’m really not a sentimental kind of a person.” But this is Madonna. Her tear glands are probably made of muscle! Apparently not, because the singer went on to reveal a softer side during her speech. She choked up for a moment when referencing her mother, adding, “Finally, I would like to thank my mother. Because, really, this story is the story of a female’s — the journey of a female, soul. And my mother gave me life.” Guys, Madonna almost cried in public. Now we’ve seen everything, And also want to give her a hug.

Elton John’s Husband Apologizes For Those Nasty Madonna Comments

Oh, this is awkward. Elton John’s husband David Furnish feels so sorry for those comments he made about Madonna‘s Golden Globes win for Best Original Song earlier this week. Well…Furnish feels so something, that’s for sure. “”Best song??? F— off!!!,” Furnish initially raged after Madge’s song “Masterpiece” snatched the award instead of John’s “Hello, Hello.” David ranted, “Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it’s narcissism.” On one hand, David is way too attached to the world’s critical response to Elton’s film Gnomeo & Juliet. On the other hand, LOL.

Today Furnish addressed his comments while not technically admitting they were wrong. “My comments regarding The Golden Globes have been blown way out of proportion. My passion for our film Gnomeo & Juliet and belief in Elton’s song really got my emotional juices going,” David posted to Facebook. “But I must say for the record that I do believe Madonna is a great artist, and that Elton and I wish her all the best for next week’s premiere of the film W.E.” David’s passion for their film Gnomeo & Juliet knows no bounds and permits no allegiances, Madonna. We and David Furnish have at least that one thing in common.

Golden Globes Mystery: What’s Going On Here With Madonna And Jessica Biel?

From this photograph, it seems that something serious is about to go down between Madonna and Jessica Biel on the Golden Globes red carpet. Random blonde lady in black in the middle seems to be the referee. Biel and Madge seem poised in classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fighting poses. What’s the beef about? Does Madonna want more than Four Minutes with Justin Timberlake? Does Jessica have a problem with the fact that Madonna in Reema Acra may just look (way) hotter than her? Has the quantity of granny lace on Jess’ Elie Saab dress made Madge see red? Answers below, people. (more…)
