Madonna saw the first cut of the new video

As previously reported, Madonna's "4 Minutes To Save The World" video is currently in post production and the dead-line is the end of February, the beginning of March at the latest.

Our US collaborator and insider JPSC24 has just heard that Madonna and Guy Oseary watched the first cut of the video, and Madonna had some changes to suggest. Madonna is a perfectionist and always takes part to the whole process, sending feedbacks. She wants the video to be great. And it will be!

The video will be ready for the beginning of March at the latest, and then Madonna's people will be able to premiere it according to their schedule. They could even wait for the end of March, we have been told.

Elle and Vanity Fair cover for Madonna!

With every new Madonna project great magazine covers are released and with the new Madonna album that is coming up it won't be any different.

MadonnaTribe can exclusively report for the first time online details about two of the great covers Madonna will do to promote this album.

Madonna is actually shooting today as we speak a new cover for Elle magazine. This time photographer won't be Giles Bensimon, who did the previous Elle covers, but fashion photographer Tom Munro. We've been told Madonna and Tom are working on the new cover right as we speak today, Thursday February 21 2008. We bet we'll see lots of international editions with different covers shots like it usually happens with Elle, so collectors are warned!

Another great shoot is coming up and this time will be for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. The big news is that Madonna will be reuniting after many years with Steven Meisel, who did the Sex book, the Like A Virgin album cover and a the Marylin portfolio from 1991. Well as you can see there's never a dull moment with the Queen of Pop.

I was hoping for a Vanity Fair shoot for the new album, so this is good news!

Madden-X 22nd February 2008 12:21 AM

I'm a bit worried for this album... because Madonna is just gonna follow a sound you hear TOO MUCH on the radio. I mean, I respect Timbaland before he became extremely popular (like what he did with Utada) but now I digust him and not to mention that ****-head of a Timberlake. It all sounds the same and yet, the young girls will eat it up even if it was **** (no offense to those who actually do like JT.. just for the music and not the looks)

So I definetelly will have a look at this album... but probably won't buy it or play it a few times in a week like I did with a very ORIGINAL album like Ray of Light and CoaDF

Vinylfantasy 22nd February 2008 12:39 AM

I wouldn't be so quick to judge, she has worked with a ton of big name producers before and produced something amazing and current. Take Babyface for example. She worked with a ton of R&B producers for Bedtime Stories that were all over the radio at the time including Babyface and came up with Take A Bow. That's her longest running #1 hit ever in the United States. The same goes for Shep Pettibone in the late 80's/early 90's. You mentioned Ray of Light and Confessions too and she worked largely with William Orbit and Stuart Price on those. Both of them were very well established and played out before Madonna came in contact with them, especially in Europe.

Madonna is very involved with the production aspect of her music as well. She definitely isn't stupid and won't make something she is incapable of taking on image wise. She is an artist as well as a businesswoman and has been involved with the music business much longer than most of us have been alive for. I think we should just trust her instincts. I know I am. After all, she's doing an album that she wants to do just like she always has been and that got her plenty far.

Madonna, Moore to fill party gap

http://www.loveprofusion.nl/gallery/...0march/03b.jpg

Talk about all dressed up with no place to go: Oscar night is going to see a surplus of guests and a dearth of hosts.

The 14-week writers strike took a toll, both emotional and economic, on Hollywood, but some have used it as an excuse to make cuts -- in deals, in holiday gifts and, apparently, in parties.

The Oscar-night party scene was getting to be pretty predictable, and this is the year that longtime traditions are taking a sabbatical. The net result is that with no Vanity Fair party and other cancelled events, and only about half of those at the Academy Awards invited to the Governors Ball, there will be quite the black-tie mob shuffling in their Jimmy Choo slingbacks seeking food and diversion.

In years past, the Governors Ball was the first stop on a serious round of party-hopping. But this year, there simply aren't many places to hop.

Beyond Vanity Fair's one-year hiatus, other party no-shows include People mag's fiesta; Dani Janssen's affair at her home, which has drawn the likes of Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood; and the latenight affair hosted by Rick Yorn and Patrick Whitesell. For the second year, the Elton John AIDS fund-raiser is a viewing dinner followed by a John performance with no after-party (though about 75 nominees and execs have received invites to attend the perf).

One contender to fill this black-tie social vacuum is the party Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary and Demi Moore have put together at the last minute.

Whether this affair becomes an annual event hasn't been decided.

The party, to be held in a home in the Westside hills, will begin around 9 p.m. A few hundred people are invited, although this number will probably expand. One person who's seen the guest list said, "Everybody's on it. It gives the A-list Vanity Fair crowd someplace to go to. It will probably be pared down to where it's 85% talent, not a lot of suits."


But even if this party skims off some of the celebrity cream, the Governors Ball will still be the major draw. "It's the biggest game in town," said one exec. "This is going to put the glamour back into the ball."

Madonna's Oscar Dress?

http://style.blogs.com/photos/uncate.../dresspink.jpg

Jean Yu, a former CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, tells us that Madonna will wear this dress to Sunday night's Oscar festivities. Usually designers cross their fingers and hold their breath until they see celebrities working the red carpet in their creation on E! before sending out their e-mail blasts. So what makes Yu so confident? "Madonna's stylist Arianne Phillips came into the store last week prepping for a Vanity Fair shoot; that's how she came across the dress." The Material Girl has never worn Yu before, but she's just the kind of designer the trend-setter likes—someone who operates slightly under the radar but who has a killer sense of cut. Remember how Madge made the then-unknown Olivier Theyskens' reputation way back in 1998 when she wore his goth hook-and-eye vest dress to the Academy Awards? Stay tuned.

Thanks to Ant!

I'm not too fond of the dress but it's still on a mannequin so I guess I can't judge yet. I'm sure M will work it out! :yes

The dress hanging looks a lot better!

Latest on WORLD PEACE ONE

We talked about WORLD PEACE ONE a lot last year... we told you about WORLD PEACE ONE organisers being in talks with Madonna's management. The project has been postponed, maybe due to Live Earth.

And now the press is mentioning WORLD PEACE ONE again now that there is a new date. And it's interesting to read that they are still in talks with Madonna!

Here's what NME says about the charity/social project:

World Peace One
is in talks with many of the world’s top acts to stage a series of international concerts to bring peace to the world.

The shows, which are scheduled to kick off May 17 could feature performances from U2, Madonna, Led Zeppelin and Justin Timberlake, among others.

The not-for-profit group is attempting to bring peace through a 10-year campaign via concerts, education and government initiatives, reports , ZZ Top, Lionel Richie, Celine Dion, INXS, Velvet Revolver, , and Timbaland, are among the acts in talks with the organisation, according to the group’s founder Doug Ivanovich.

The concerts will kick off May 17 with shows in Beijing, Istanbul, Turkey, London, Johannesburg; and Miami, as well as the United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Colombia and India, the report says.

Concert organisers at World Peace One include former executives from Woodstock and Live Earth and the group are currently building relationships with the world’s top promoters to make the shows happen.

Quoting from eBay:

This fine example of American luxury was first imported from the States in September 1997, and currently has an age related C registration number. Although it looks black in photos, the true colour is metallic midnight blue.

I am selling the car on behalf of a production company, who bought it solely for use in the next Madonna promo, for the upcoming track 'Four Minutes To Save The World', and it is featured a lot in the promo. The car is still at the studio in West London.

Grab a piece of motoring and music history!

how awesome! if I was hardcore, I'd so bid for it ._."

Vinylfantasy 24th February 2008 06:21 PM

Two extremely low quality clips of Give It To Me have leaked. Their authenticity is still in question but it is very likely that these are not fake.

First Clip
Second Clip

Please do not hotlink.


I don't really know what I think. The lyrics seem to match up with the ones reported by Rolling Stone and it sounds like it was recorded on a cell phone from someone's jacket or something. :shrug

Madonna's Elle photoshoot

Yesterday was also Frozen's birthday!!!

Frozen, the first single from Madonna's 1998 album Ray Of Light was first released in Europe today, 10 years ago on February 23 1998.

Co-written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the song counted on the production of producer William Orbit, who completely reconstructed Leonard's original arrangement and turned it into the magical version we know (a private letter from Madonna to Leonard explaining why she decided not to use part of his work also leaked onto the internet at the time).

The video for Frozen was directed by Chris Cunningham who also re edited some footage from his previous works as video backdrop for the rendition of the song during 2004's Re-Invention tour. The song was also performed live in 2001's Drowned World Tour.


:D *turns into a dog and flock of crows*

Nelly Furtado about Madonna and her new album!

http://styletraxx.com/Nelly-Furtado-loose-04.jpg

Journalist Manuel Valencia Silva asked Nelly Furtado about Madonna's new album, and here is his report for DrownedMadonna.com.

Nelly Furtado performed in Chile’s Viña del Mar Festival and after the show she held a press conference when she was asked by Manuel Valencia Silva about the new Madonna’s album and the work of Timbaland as a producer for the Queen of Pop (after he worked with her, creating a new style) and she said:

"Madonna’s great. We met two weeks ago in a fund raising event. She’s a generous, creative person who I admire. So, she likes to experiment and she likes contemporary sounds, so no wonder she chose to work with Timbaland. I LISTENED TO A COUPLE OF HER NEW TRACKS AND THEY’RE AMAZING!"
