She has been in the entertainment industry for almost 30 years and even despite her illustrious career, queen of pop Madonna is only launching her first fragrance this year.
Lo and behold the recently leaked black and white print Ad for the 53-year-old’s maiden scent ‘Truth Or Dare’. The topless singer appears in the sultry reflected duplication Ad, taken by photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Madonna sports big curly hair and gothic dark lips.
2012 might be the year that the world comes to end according to the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. 2012 will most likely be the year that the queen of pop Madonna releases her 12th studio album. But what we are certain of is that 2012 will be the year that the long-awaited third installment in the ‘Men In Black’ franchise finally hits theaters.
The first unconventional teaser posters for the sci-fi movie are here, and they are aesthetically pleasing and innovative to say the least. The futuristic art features the ID mugshot of the movie’s two main agents, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, with the stylized words ‘MIB3′ written in a matrix format all over their faces. The clever posters are also hoping to start a viral phenomenon. If you look closely at the wording the URL TheMenInBlackSuitsAreReal.Com is revealed, which is a link to a Facebook page that’s run by ‘BugEyes126′.
The posters, that are most likely to induce a seizure in a case or two, have been met with mixed reviews, with many accusing them of being gimmicky. I beg to differ, they are very inventive and make a very bold statement that makes me very excited for 25 May — which is the scheduled release date for the movie.
What do you think of the poster?
Queen of pop Madonna and her directorial venture muse Andrea Riseborough cover the December/January issue of US Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
Lensed by Tom Munro, the ‘Give Me All Your Love’ singer is seen in a friendly embrace with the star of her new movie ‘W.E.’, wrapping her protective arm over the 30-year-old raven-haired actress’ shoulders.
The 53-year-old talks to the magazine about her age always being the focus of everything she does.
“I find whenever someone writes anything about me, my age is right after my name. It’s almost like they’re saying, ‘Here she is, but remember she’s this age, so she’s not that relevant anymore.’ Or ‘Let’s punish her by reminding her and everyone else.’ When you put someone’s age down, you’re limiting them”, Madge points out to Bazaar.

Sporting her chic teal wig and rouge lips as well as matching dagger-like nails, the avant-garde singer dons vintage Versace on the cover.
Gaga talks to the magazine about all the female pop stars that came before her.
“I just feel so connected to Madonna in a lot of ways, and I feel connected to Barbra (Streisand), and I feel connected to Cher and Blondie and all of the women who came before me. I worshiped them my whole life, and I would never be where I am today without all of them to inspire me. I feel so grateful that I have such strong women to look up to”, Gaga tells the magazine.
Barbadian singer Rihanna is extending her impressive line of endorsements (Gucci, Nivea, CoverGirl), by becoming the new spokeswoman for coconut water brand Vita Coco. The queen of pop Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers rocker Anthony Kiedis and actress Demi Moore all have invested shares in the brand.
Rihanna as usually looks absolutely beautiful in two of her recently released promotional Ads for the product. In one Ad the “Man Down” singer is sitting on the shores of a Caribbean beach, sipping on Vita Coco water in a white summery puff dress and her signature red hair styled super long to resemble that of a mermaid.
Keeping to the island theme, in another Ad, the Reb’l Fleur beauty who is wearing a skimpy white top is seen standing amid tropical tree silhouettes, with of course a Vita Coco drink in hand and sporting a chic side braid with multicoloured Jamaican beads at the end.

Brace yourselves, Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour is about to invade your television viewing. HBO has just released the first official poster for the “Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden”, to be aired on 7 May.
Looking like a badass female assassin from one of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, Gaga dons a cone bra with flames shooting out of her chest. I’m sure Madonna will approve, after all she made the cone bra famous in the 90s during the “Blonde Ambition Tour”. But Gaga is clearly taking the look to a whole other level.
So here is the deal, beginning April 19, HBO will be running a campaign in which fans can go to their Facebook page and unlock exclusive snippets from the Gaga special, leading to the premiere.
Late last week we got to see Britney Spears’ part of the photo shot for Out Magazine “Ladies We Love” April issue, which will get a duel cover. Now, just like the magazine promised, a photo shoot featuring Madonna – who will share the cover with Spears – has been revealed.
But it’s not just any other ordinary Madonna photo shoot, it’s vintage Madonna photo shoot. The photos were taken by then unknown photographer Richard Corman in 1982, before Madonna stroke it rich, in New York City
For starters, it’s very clever of the magazine and gives the cover so much depth that the two pop music legends are strutting a similar sultry pose on the cover, with their fingers in the mouth.
Corman painstakingly captured Madonna’s down-to-earth persona in the photos. The photos are flawless, showcasing the Material Girl’s undeniable beauty. They also tell us that Madonna never played it safe when it comes to fashion. Even back then, the singer had an uncanny fashion sense, torn jeans, frisky hair and chunky jewelry – something has to be said about those Christian cross earrings.
Corman explain to the magazine of the sequence of events that took place during the shoot. According to Corman his mother, Cis Corman, a renowned casting director in New York City was casting The Last Temptation of Christ for Martin Scorsese and told him that they had just tested an charismatic young girl for the part of the Virgin Mary. Since he was looking to photograph interesting figures at the time, he agreed to meet the girl.
That girl turned out to be Madonna. A very young Madonna was living in Alphabet City at the time and suggested they meet at her apartment – take your mind out of the gutter. What followed was this photo shoot, that will only be publicly viewed 29 years later.
“I looked up the staircase, and I saw this girl leaning over the edge of the banister, and even from three stories below I could see these catlike eyes just looking down. I knew at that moment that she had something special”, Corman remembered of their first meeting. “She was so alive and
unpretentious. She was fierce, determined. Nothing was going to stop her”.
Here are some of the photos:
Britney Spears is showing love to the gay community in the April issue of Out magazine. The “Ladies We Love” issue of the popular gay magazine will be published in a duel cover format, featuring the Princess of Pop herself Miss Spears, and Her Majesty Queen of Pop Madonna.
While Britney’s photo-spread and e-mail conducted interview with the magazine was made available online today, we are going to have to wait until Monday, 14 March, to see Madonna’s feature.
Spears teamed up with photographer Ruven Afanador for her ferocious, sex appeal filled shoot. Afanador showcased Britney’s sultry side throughout the pages of the magazine – though I doubt it was a mission.
For the cover-shot, a close-up head-and-shoulder shot shows Britney with her fingers in mouth while posing sexily. Probably the most daring pose Britney struts for the magazine is an acrobatic style pose, in which the singer is seen sitting down and simultaneously stretching her one leg 180 degrees in the air, wearing thong leotards.
In another photo Britney, again wearing leotards, showcases two of her tattoos positioned on either sides of her upper-thighs. A coy looking Britney is also photographed standing next to a wall wearing an opened trench, with her bra and panties showing.
The singer answers some of the questions we have been dying to get answered over the years. When asked whose career did she want to mold herself after when she started out, she replies “Madonna. No question. She is an amazing entertainer”.
She also reveals that she listens to a lot of Lady Gaga and Rihanna, she’s even quoted as saying “Rihanna’s ‘S & M’ is awesome”. She adds that if there was one song she wished to have recorded in the last 10 years it will have to be Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie”.
Britney describes Betty White as her favourite Golden Girl because “She’s so sweet and innocent”. Furthermore, she says fellow covergirl Madonna is “Cool”, Lady Gaga is “Unique” and onetime arch-rival Christina Aguilera is “Truly Talented”.

Just five days after the release of her “Born This Way” music video, Lady Gaga has created yet another viral phenomenon. As of now the sensational video has acquired more than 9.4 million views on YouTube.
It comes as no surprise since Gaga delivers on the video – no pun intended. The almost eight-minute long video is a pop culture aura, a feast for the eyes, a fashion parade and a dance spectacle.
What makes the video even more fantastical is that Gaga tackles a very serious issue in a fun manner. Amid the frenzy at G.O.A.T (Government Owned Alien Territory in Space) Gaga delivers her important message of gender equality. As she narrates this is the birth of a new race, a race that will have no prejudice or judgment but boundless freedom you can’t argue that you’re witnessing the spawn of a new human race. The message is further decoded with the use of the inverted pink triangle seen throughout the video, a symbol of gay rights.
After the lengthy introduction, Gaga appears in a bikini and as the song kicks off with the words “It doesn’t matter if you love him, of capital H-I-M”, what follows will leave you begging for more. Gaga engages in a binding orgy scene, dance around in her underwear and ramble with her Zombie lover Rico in a Thierry Mugler tuxedo.
As she has done prior, Gaga again tribute late fashion designer Alexander McQueen. It’s vividly clear in the beginning of the video when she is giving birth that the scene was strongly influenced by McQueen’s final collection, which featured feathers, mock scales and faux wings.
Towards the end of the video the singer tributes yet another legend, this time Michael Jackson as she emerges from a dark alley, sporting white gloves, which can be seen as her impression of MJ in the “Billie Jean” video.
In true Gaga style, she close the video with a bit of humour. As her way of recognising the “Express Yourself” comparison to her song, Gaga pays homage to Madonna by mimicking her iconic front teeth gap
