TITLES OF OAKENFOLD TRACKS REVEALED
‘Broken’ ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘Celebrate’.
So there we are. We don’t know what this says about our glorious leader’s emotional state – the first two we decided were about her sadness at splitting from Guy but then we thought maybe she is saying ‘celebrate my freedom, I’m sorry I waited so long and I’ve broken the bed with Jesus’. But who knows. We are hovering our hands over our crystal balls in a mystical manner and predict that the album may well just be called MADONNA CELEBRATE. But that is just a guess, because we’re slightly OCD. Yay.

Madonna Insists: No 'Wedding' With Jesus

Both the singer, 50, and her 22-year-old boyfriend, were spotted emerging from the New York centre for her religion, dressed head to toe in white.
However, Madonna was overheard saying: “Why are the photographers saying congratulations to me?”
Previously, Jesus' dad Luiz Heitor Pinto da Luz had been blabbing that the megastar was set to pledge herself to his model son in some kind of show before religious leaders.
But Madge's spokeswoman has slammed the claims. She said: "This is completely and totally not true."
It's thought the pair were just attending a normal Kabbalah Sabbath service.

STICKY AND SWEET SETLIST ADDITIONS
The extension of the Madonna tour is about to start in less than two months and MadonnaTribe reports a few things buzzing around. Rehearsals are planned to take place in New York and starting at the beginning of June. They will approximately go on for a month before flying to London for the premiere on July 4th.
As for the changes in the Sticky & Sweet set list a couple of beloved old classics will be replacing two songs of the 2008 line-up. The songs considered at the moment are the 1983 First Album classic hit Holiday, making its comeback in a Madonna tour and Dress You Up, the old fan favourite from Like A Virgin!
The inclusion of such classic songs will surely convince the people who were unsure about this tour extension that Madonna is once again trying something new, by strengthening her already successful show of 2008, reinventing it by adding more fan favourite oldies but goodies!

Madonna Turns to Psychic for Help

Madonna is being advised by a psychic called Mama Love. The 50-year-old singer - who was left devastated when her efforts to give four-year-old Malawian Mercy James a home were rejected earlier this year - turned to the medium in an effort to discover why her adoption bid failed.
A source said: "Madonna has turned to Mama Love before and knows she gets answers and advice she needs from her. Mama told her to take time out and cool down. It's unlikely the adoption of Mercy will go ahead now. She advised Madonna to slow down and let her spiritual side rise up." The psychic is believed to have told Madonna - who raises three children, daughter Lourdes, 12, eight-year-old Rocco and three-year-old David Banda - not to try adopting another child for the next two years.
The source added to Britain's Heat magazine: "Mama told her, 'You won't get the adoption you are looking for because the spirit is trying to guide you to a higher maternal status. Follow my advice and you will become Mama of the world.' " Mama Love has also told the singer to set up "compassion centres" to help those less fortunate than herself.

Madonna shuns the sun to stay young
Dr Fredric Brandt, the self-styled "Baron of Botox", had advised the Material Girl to stay away from sun to preserve her youthful looks.
However, he refuses to confirm whether the 50-year-old songtress had the anti-wrinkle injections.
"Madonna is my client. She's got great skin and she's very disciplined," the Daily Star quoted him as saying on US telly show The Insider.
"She listens to me about staying out of the sun. But I will not tell you what she does," he added.

MADONNA COMMITS TO JESUS

The pop icon, who was divorced from Guy Ritchie last year, has been dating the 22-year-old Brazilian model for much of 2009.
During her ill-fated recent adoption attempt of an African child, the pair were said to have split-up, a claim which has now been dismissed.
"They are totally besotted with each other and he's really helped Madonna through this tough time", said a source.
"It wasn't that the relationship went off the boil, it was more a matter of Madonna wanting to concentrate on her adoption bid of Mercy and they wanted to keep a low profile while that became the main focus.
"Madonna was devastated when the adoption was rejected the first time but now she wants to lavish some attention on Jesus and she's keen to make sure they have a solid relationship for all the children's sakes."
Last week, a Malawian judge adjourned the appeal into her bid to adopt four-year-old Mercy James.

STICKY AND SWEET IN ISRAEL

Queen of pop confirms extended world tour to include one-night show in Israel this October; organizers still in talks for sponsors
Yaniv Halily Published: 05.09.09, 15:02 / Israel Culture
NEW YORK- After long and agonizing negotiations, pop queen Madonna has finally confirmed she will be stopping in Israel this October as part of her successful Sticky and Sweet Tour.
The singer will put on a one-night performance, but her trip to Israel will last a few days during which she will visit various sites.
According to speculations, Madonna will be landing in Tel Aviv a week before her show and stay in Israel during Yom Kippur.
The 51-year-old artist's visit to Israel was not part of the original plan. The Sticky and Sweet Tour was launched last year and saw jam-packed halls around the world.
After the tour Madonna announced that she planned to start working on a new record, but rising demand from her fans around the world led the singer to extend her tour to European locations this summer.
It should be noted that Madonna has wanted to perform in Israel a number of times in recent years, but due to funding problems, was unable to do so.
Even now, there is a chance that the show may not go through, since Israeli promoter Shuki Weiss and German producer Marek Lieberberg are still looking for commercial sponsors to fund the costly performance.
The two have been holding intensive talks with telecommunications provider Orange, but an agreement is yet to be signed.
The Sticky and Sweet concert includes over two hours of Madonna singing her greatest hits from throughout her career, and a gypsy section with symbols from Judaism displayed on a large screen in the background.
"Revolver": New Demo Song
The song is supposedly called "Revolver" and there's a rumor that the song will be released as a single on June 30. Fingers crossed!

MADONNA CONTROVERSIAL RUSSIAN CONCERT PLANNED

Madonna is set to perform a controversial concert in Russia. The ‘Material Girl’ singer wants to stage a show in the main square of St. Petersburg, home of the State Hermitage Museum, in August but local authorities are furious about the plans. They have branded the proposed event a “natural disaster” and the museum’s director, Dr. Mikhail Piotrovski will demand the pop superstar signs an agreement to set out decency and volume levels. He fumed: "We want guarantees that there will be no blasphemy."

Lady Gaga 'Humbled' By Madonna Coming To Her Show
If you think that Lady Gaga has gotten used to being a pop superstar, think again. No one was as surprised as the New York City native herself to see that the Queen of Pop, Madonna, took some time out of her busy schedule to catch the "Poker Face" singer's show at New York's Terminal 5 on Saturday."I was very humbled that Madonna came to the show," Gaga told MTV News on Monday. "And I had been hearing all week that she was going to come, and I was like, 'Oh, OK,' and I didn't want to talk about it or tell anyone 'cause I thought it was kind that she would want to come at all." What made it even more surprising for Gaga was that she didn't think Madonna had any idea who she was, despite her hit songs and performance on "American Idol" earlier this season. But what really pleased the singer was seeing that Madge made her concert a family night. "I was really excited to see that [Madonna's daughter] Lourdes was there, and that made me really happy 'cause during the show I noticed some beautiful spirit of a girl dancing," she recalled. "And I didn't know who it was and I just kept waving to her." It wasn't until the set was over that she learned that the girl was Madonna's daughter. "Then when the show was over, I said, 'Oh, there's this sweet, young girl up there, and she was dancing her pants off.' And someone said, 'Lourdes had green pants on.' And I was like, 'Oh my God, it was Lourdes and she was dancing.' It really got me going. [Madonna's] a good mom, so it's nice." Gaga will also be happy to hear that the legendary singer slipped out unnoticed. "I was hoping and praying she would get out safely," she said. "If she got spotted she would have been trampled like the queen she is."

MADONNA’S ADOPTION CASE HEARD
Malawi's highest court began deliberating on Madonna's bid to adopt a 3-year-old girl from the southern African country, as a dispute erupted over whether a man trying to stop the proceedings is the girl's father.
Madonna was not at Monday's closed-door hearing at the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal, and a ruling may not be announced for several days.
The 50-year-old pop star is fighting a lower court's decision that she cannot adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James because she had not been screened over time by Malawi authorities. The court said the rules were bent when Madonna adopted her son David from Malawi last year.
Madonna's Malawian lawyer Alan Chinula said he was "hopeful" the appeal would succeed, and argued the lower court had relied on outdated law to block the girl's adoption.
Madonna found the girl in 2006 at Kondanani Children's Village, an orphanage in the southern town of Bvumbwe just south of the commercial capital of Blantyre. It was the same year she adopted David, whom she found at another orphanage in the central Mchinji district.

Madonna Loves Lady GaGa
Lady GaGa has another superstar fan — Madonna.
The reigning queen of pop and her daughter, Lourdes, saw the Poker Face singer’s gig at N.Y.C.’s Terminal 5 on Saturday night.
“Madonna loved Gaga’s show,” a source told the New York Daily News. “Especially when Gaga played Future Love on the piano. Lourdes was singing along to every word.”
The source adds that Madonna and Lourdes left halfway through the show, “probably because Gaga went on late, around 1 a.m., and Madge is a good mom!”
GaGa, real name Stefani Germanotta, has previously compared herself to the Material Girl, saying, “We’re both Italian-American women, we both started out in the New York underground scene — and we both became famous when we dyed our hair blonde.
“I think what Madonna and I share is that we’re both fearless, we both have a lot of nerve.”

Madonna's Adoption Appeal Begins in Malawi

The 50-year-old singer had filed a petition to adopt Chifundo James, whose first name means "mercy" in Chichewa, the country's national language. Her adoption was denied last month because Madonna did not meet a residency law that requires applicants to have lived in the country for some time before adoption.
She has three other children, including a son, David Banda, whom she adopted from the southern African nation in 2006.
Madonna's appeal to the Malawi Supreme Court in Blantyre, the commercial capital, started as a man claimed paternity of Chifundo, who has lived in an orphanage most of her life. The girl's teenage mother died shortly after childbirth.
The Malawian attorney general's office told CNN that it considers Chifundo's grandmother and uncle, who support the adoption, as her legal guardians.
James Kambewa, the man claiming to be the father, has only been heard of in the media, an official said.
"He will have to undergo paternity tests in order for us to determine whether or not he is indeed the father," said Zione Ntaba, a spokeswoman for Malawi's attorney general. "But as far as today's proceedings go, Madonna's lawyers are the only party making submissions."
Madonna was recently divorced from British filmmaker Guy Ritchie. She has been involved with Malawi for several years and made a documentary, "I Am Because We Are," to highlight poverty as well as AIDS and other diseases devastating children in that country. She also co-founded a nonprofit group, Raising Malawi, which provides programs to help the needy.
It is not clear how long the appeal will take.

Madonna adoption: Paternity dispute erupts

The Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal was to consider the case Monday. Its decision may not be announced for several days and Madonna was not expected at Monday's closed-door hearing in Blantyre, the commercial capital.
A lower court ruled last month that Madonna could not adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James because the pop star did not meet requirements that prospective parents be screened for at least some time in Malawi. The rules were bent when Madonna adopted a son, David, from Malawi last year.
Sunday, 24-year-old James Kambewa told The Associated Press he was Chifundo's father and has sought help from the Malawi Law Society to stop the adoption of the girl, who has been in an orphanage since shortly after birth.
Kambewa, a security guard, acknowledged he has never seen the child he is now claiming, but said he was making efforts to claim custody.
"I may be poor but I think I have what it takes to raise a daughter," he said. "I will fight the adoption."
The brother of the girl's mother, who died shortly after giving birth, told the AP the family does not know Kambewa.
"How can he claim he is the father when he hasn't been around all this time?" said Peter Baneti, who had agreed to the adoption on behalf of the family. "We believe he is just an opportunist."
Madonna spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in a weekend e-mail message she doesn't know if Kambewa is the father.
"All I know is that Mercy has been in an orphanage since the day she was born," Rosenberg said.
Kambewa, in an interview to be aired Monday on CBS' "The Early Show", said he has only seen the girl "in newspapers and TV — not face to face." But he told CBS the girl "is a Malawian — so (I) need her to grow as a Malawian as well with our culture."
On the show, Kambewa wore a necklace bearing the girl's name.
Madonna found the girl at Kondanani Children's Village in the southern town of Bvumbwe, just south of Blantyre, when she first visited Malawi in 2006, the same year she found David at Home of Hope Orphanage in the central border district of Mchinji.
According to court documents, the girl's mother was just 14 when she gave birth, and died a few weeks later. Baneti said with no one to breast-feed the baby, the family decided to place her in an orphanage.
The singer's Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, said he was "hopeful" the appeal would succeed. He argues the lower court judge was relying on outdated law. Chinula represented Madonna when she adopted David.
Madonna has founded a charity, Raising Malawi, that helps feed, educate and provide medical care for some of Malawi's more than 1 million orphans, half of whom have lost parents to AIDS.

Top Malawian Judge rumored to dismiss Madonna's case
Queen of Pop Madonna's dreams of adopting 4-year-old Mercy James are to be crushed by a judge tomorrow.
The 50-year-old star is desperately trying to win the custody of Mercy despite being refused adoption rights last month.
However, officials at Malawi's Supreme Court said the African country's top judge, Lovemore Munlo, was certain to dismiss her case when he heads a review panel.
Striking a further blow to Madonna's adoption dreams, Mercy's 24-year-old dad, security guard James Kambewa, yesterday met her maternal family in the hope they will back his custody bid.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "My family has met Mercy's family and we all agree we love the girl. She deserves the best we can give.
"Whatever has happened, we should be allowed to raise our daughter as we wish.
"I hope that we can unite and fight this in the courts to see that it is so. I am Mercy's father and should be allowed to see my daughter."
Last month, her bid was turned down, as she was not a Malawi resident - a requirement that was waived when the singer was allowed to take David Banda to London in 2006.

Madonna and Jesus are "Perfect Couple"

Designer Says Madonna And Her New Boy Toy Are 'Perfect Couple'
Fashion mogul Marc Jacobs was happy to help Jesus Luz stay in the U.S. - because he is adamant Madonna and her model beau are the perfect couple.
The Material Girl has been dating Luz since her split from movie director husband Guy Ritchie last year.
The singer laughed off reports earlier this week that she helped Luz's career by persuading fashion houses to give him modeling contracts.
But Jacobs was more forthcoming - he admits writing a letter to officials in which he backed Luz's bid for a work permit at Madonna's request.
He tells the New York Daily News, “M asked me to write a letter (supporting Luz’s work visa), and I’d do anything to help a friend. Whatever. It’s no big deal - I didn’t know that anybody even knew about it. Jesus is the sweetest guy. I hope he and Madonna are happy.”

SEAN AND MADONNA

Madonna has forgiven Sean throughout the years. In 1994, when future wife Robin Wright was asked about Madonna, she responded, “I don’t know how he put up with that lady!” Ouch! However, Sean made a surprise appearance to give Madonna an award at the VH1 Fashion Awards in 1995. He has also been known to talk about her in a very positive way throughout the years.
***
"Madonna respects the fact that despite the bitter breakup, Sean doesn’t go around and talk badly about her in the media like so many of her ex-friends and lovers do,” a source from Madonna’s camp tells me. "Sean is one of the very few people she feels she can still trust."
Now, let’s fast forward to 2007. Both Madonna and Sean’s marriages are hitting rock bottom. The two meet up for dinner in November of 2007 while Sean is visiting London. Throughout the next six months, they constantly text each other. Sean even admits that he sent a text message to Madonna before filming a kissing scene with James Franco for his Oscar winning role in Milk. Madonna files for divorce with Guy Richie in October of 2008 and is seen dining with Sean one week later. “Madonna thought nobody was on her side when her divorce was announced. Guy Richie was using the media to publicly humiliate her. Sean comforted her in a way nobody would and assured her that she is going to be alright,” my source continues. Sean, along with Guy Richie, have been comforting Madonna ever since she was denied a second adoption from Malawi and fell off another horse.
***
Robin Wright has been very possessive of Sean and became enraged when finding out he has been in contact with Madonna. Even though she knows there is nothing going on between them sexually, the fact that they talk is just as bad to her. It is thought that a final confrontation about the issue late last week is what has caused Sean to file for legal separation.
I think it’s a wonderful thing that an ex-husband and wife can remain friends, especially since they shared so much together. I can understand Robin becoming angry because it’s obvious that Sean and Madonna still hold something special together. However, as long as they are not sleeping together, I don’t see what the problem is. What do you think?
MADONNA'S JIBE ON TWITTER
Ritchie 'annoyed over Madonna jibe'
Saturday, May 2 2009
By Daniel Kilkelly, Entertainment Reporter
Madonna's recent internet outburst has angered her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, according to a report.
The Queen of Pop yesterday hit back at claims that she was planning to leave sons Rocco, eight, and David, three, with Ritchie when she reprises her 'Sticky & Sweet' tour in July.
Writing on Twitter, she asked: "What is this rubbish about me dumping my children off for the summer while I'm on tour? They go where I go."
However, it is believed that Madonna's rebuttal has only served to create further tension with her former partner.
A source close to Ritchie told The Mirror: "He adores spending time with the boys, so if Madonna did want him to look after the children he'd have done it without a second thought."
The insider added: "Guy has been trying to show his support to Madonna, especially over her recent adoption upset in Malawi.
"But it sounds like she's having a dig at him in her internet rant, referring to dumping them on him. They share their time with their children - it isn't a case of them being dumped on anyone."
Madonna and Ritchie were granted a "quickie" divorce in November. They had announced their separation a month earlier.

It was a star-studded audience at Lady Gaga's concert in New York last night, with the likes of Madonna and Cyndi Lauper in attendance.But if these images are anything to go by, concert-goers at the city's Terminal 5 venue had not put nearly as much effort into their outfits as the 'Poker Face' star. Madonna, who arrived with an entourage that included toyboy Jesus, daughter Lourdes and fashion photographer Stephen Klein, wore cropped camouflage combat trousers with dated flat pointed slippers.Only a fitted leather jacket offered a glimpse of the 50-year-old's toned physique, but unkempt hair was otherwise in keeping with her scruffy look.
