Madonna wants to make a singer out of her daughter

Tammy — Fri, 06 May 2011 22:04:15 +0000

It looks like the pop star is ready to pass the torch on to the next generation… namely her daughter Lourdes. But Madonna isn’t going to just let her daughter wander off into the music business all by herself so she plans on offering guidance. This is what a source had to say about Madonna’s plans for Lourdes: “Madonna hopes Lourdes will step into her shoes and become one of the biggest female artists in the world. She’s the perfect mentor for her daughter and is keen to assist her first steps into the industry. Lourdes has a great voice and plenty of character – like her mum.” Well, well… pop music has become so accessible that it might just turn into a family business. And who better to be the first big family in the business than Madonna’s?

Tammy — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 21:30:18 +0000

Guy Ritchie will snub his girlfriend at Christmas to spend time with ex-wife Madonna and their kids, according to reports. The film-maker has told 29-year-old model Jacqui Ainsley he won’t be with her during the festive period. A source said: “Jacqui was really looking forward to spending Christmas with her man but is now feeling very much left out in the cold. Guy is excited about spoiling his children on Christmas Day. He has told Jacqui he’s spending it with his ex-wife for the sake of the children – but it hasn’t gone down at all well.” Sherlock Holmes director Ritchie, 42, and Madonna, 52, are expected to spend the holiday at Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, where they lived during their marriage, with their children, Rocco, 10, Mercy, 6, David, 5, and Madonna’s 14-year-old daughter Lourdes. The pair divorced in 2008 after eight years of marriage. Under the terms of their settlement, Ritchie is said to have received up to £60 million as well as the Wiltshire estate and their London pub.

Tammy — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:17:59 +0000

After reportedly splitting recently from Brazilian model Jesus Luz, Madonna has found herself a new man in choreographer Brahim Rachiki. The Queen of Pop and the 33-year old dancer were recently spotted at SL in New York City. 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.� The pair later headed to the Sullivan Room in Greenwich Village where they continued on with their dancing and PDA. Another source said �After working the dance floor, they found more private seating where they hugged and kissed for the rest of the night.�

Madonna is going back to England

Tammy — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 20:58:29 +0000

Pack up your stuff, kids, it�s time to ship back to the UK! It seems that Madonna has come to the conclusion that she misses England and wants to go back there� despite her little history with Guy Ritchie. This is what a source said about the singer�s intentions: “Madonna has loved being back in the States since the divorce but England is where she feels her heart is now. She is deliberately focusing on work that will keep her in Britain.” Maybe going back there is just a pretext as well. Perhaps Madonna has found a new buff British dude for herself.

Lourdes’ first day at ‘Fame’ school

Tammy — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:33:38 +0000

Madonna’s daughter Lourdes has followed in her mum’s footsteps and enrolled at acting school. The 14-year-old had her first day at the prestigious New York LaGuardia School of Music And Performing Arts earlier this week ” the very place that inspired the film Fame. But her admission was marred by rumours that she did not have to audition, unlike regular pupils, Contactmusic reported. Nonetheless she seemed to be fitting in quite well when she was snapped hanging out with her new pals outside the Manhattan school. A fellow student told the New York Daily News, “I saw Lourdes in the morning and in the cafeteria. She was talking to people. She blends in with everyone. She seems like a normal person.” But the student said some people don’t want to seem too keen, adding, “I don’t want to be like your mum’s a celebrity. But if the occasion arises, I’d definitely talk to her.”

Lady Gaga the new Madonna?

Tammy — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:43:11 +0000

If you watched Lady Gaga�s concert in New York last Friday, you might have noticed something interesting. Unfortunately the rain falling down on New York City ruined Lady Gaga�s hair, but in the mean time brought forth a look very similar to the one Madonna had in the year 1985. If you did see watch her performance, you could see that the resemblance does not stop at her look. This question is on everyone�s lips: is Lady Gaga or is she not the new Madonna? One thing is for sure: no one since Madonna shocked like Lady Gaga.

Tammy — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:24:23 +0000

Fitness trainer Carlos Leon has revealed that his ex Madonna often asks his advice about work-outs.

The 43-year-old personal trainer dated the Queen of Pop for three years and they have a daughter Lourdes, 13, together.

Asked whether Madge ever asks his advice about fitness routines, he told UK magazine Grazia: “All the time. Fitness is one of our conversations. She asks me what the latest work-out is.

“At the moment, it’s CrossFit [a strength and conditioning programme], which I follow myself. She looks amazing and there’s no doubt about that.”

He added: “It’s so great for our daughter to have this attitude set within her family.”

Madonna just drops in

Tammy — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:56:03 +0000

If you�re ever doing a charity event, however small, and you want it to gain proportion rapidly, just ask Madonna to drop by� chances are she will. After all, she just did the same thing when Mohamed Al Fayed�s daughter organized for a school recently. A source had this to say about Madonna�s surprising appearance at the event: “She was more than happy to lend a hand and support – as she always is with charity work. But it was bizarre to see one of the world’s biggest stars at such a normal event. She looked completely out of place.” Well of course� every time gods walk among men, it is an unnatural occurrence. But how else is Madonna going to get new followers if not like this?

Madonna is going back to the UK

Tammy — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 19:56:24 +0000

The singer is apparently going to return to the land of fish and chips even though she moved away back when she divorced Guy Ritchie. However, it is not a personal decision, but rather a professional one as Madonna will be directing a movie called �W.E.�. This is what a source said on the matter: “Madonna has rediscovered her interest in Britain. She’s going to be filming her new movie about Wallis Simpson in London so it made sense for her to move back.” It�s only going to be for six months� Madonna is probably trying to show Guy Ritchie that even she can do his job in London.

Madonna is very picky about what she drinks

Tammy — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:28:43 +0000

There is no question about it� when Madonna orders a certain type of drink, she gets it or else there will be hell to pay. This is what a source related about the unfortunate situation when Madonna didn�t get the drink she ordered while at Elton John�s pre-Oscar party: “It was left to one rather nervous waiter to tell her only Grey Goose was available and when he did all hell broke loose. Madonna was dropping F-bombs like they were going out of fashion.� Temper, temper� Madonna sure is iffy when Jesus Luz is not around. Maybe setting him up with a musical career wasn�t the smartest thing, after all: he�ll be away on tour and Madonna will be getting very, very angry� at everybody.

Jerry Seinfeld’s new show inspired by argument with his wife

Tammy — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:29:58 +0000

Jerry Seinfeld said an argument with his own wife inspired his new show The Marriage Ref.

The 55-year-old funnyman is behind the new real-life show which will see its host, Tom Papa, stand as a referee between couples having marriage issues.

The show will also feature a panel of celebrity guests that help with the issues and upcoming stars include Alec Baldwin, Kelly Ripa, Madonna, Larry David, Eva Longoria and Tina Fey.

Talking about how he came up with the idea, he told Extra: “I was having an argument with my wife and I just thought this is just… if there was one third person here this could end right now.

“Any reasonable person would come in and see that I’m right and she’s wrong.”

Madonna back with Alex Rodriguez

Tammy — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:58:17 +0000

It seems that rumors are beginning to bloom around Madonna once more. It looks like she might again be dating her former boyfriend, A-Rod. This is what a source related on Madonna�s new adventures: “Madonna spent two nights with him in his beach house in Miami last week and Jesus had no idea. She just didn’t tell him, and her staff were told not to tell him. She claims she has an intellectual connection with A-Rod.” Well, it seems somebody broke their promise� but hey, what are the chances of Jesus Luz finding out about Madonna and A-Rod from the internet of all places? This is no real threat to their relationship.

Madonna ready for a new old fling

Tammy — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:09:20 +0000

Jesus Luz really doesn�t know how to keep his territory, does he? It seems Madonna recently spent some quality time with good old A-Rod. They probably reminisced over the good old times. This is what a source said about Madonna and the fact that she was meeting with A-Rod: “She’s never been a one-man woman. When she’s with a guy like Jesus, whom she takes care of, she doesn’t really respect him.” Madonna is really getting some good publicity these days, isn�t she? Well, it is all her doing anyway. What will all of her children think of her when they learn all of this?

Heartbroken Kate Hudson gets support from A-Rod ex Madonna

Tammy — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:17:20 +0000

Heartbroken Kate Hudson has received support following her break-up with Alex Rodriguez from one of his ex-girlfriends – Madonna.

Hudson has just been dumped by the New York Yankees superstar baseball player after a very public romance, according to US reports.

Hudson chatted quietly with Madonna, who dated Rodriguez in 2008, at the New York premiere of her latest movie Nine.

But Hudson, who was accompanied by mum Goldie Hawn, was not in the mood for partying.

“When the cameras were on Kate, she was all smiles. But privately, you could tell she has had her heart broken,” said an insider.

But it may not be curtains yet for the relationship.

“They had a huge fight in London at the premiere of Nine, and Alex flew to Miami to hang out with his friends,” a Hudson friend said.

“But in the last few days, he and Kate have started speaking again on the phone. She hopes they can work things out. But they are both very stubborn.”
