Madonna attended Kylie's concert yesterday
10 January 2007 - Thanks to Andrew, Jonathan, Kevin and Sophie
Last night Madonna and a female friend attended Kylie Minogue's Showgirl: Homecoming concert at London's Wembley Arena.

Madonna viewed the show from the VIP side blocks, and left before the end between Especially For You and Love At First Sight to avoid the crowds.

madonnalicious visitor Kevin attended the show and had the chance to say a quick Hello to Madonna as she enjoyed the VIP bar hospitality area at the arena.



Madonna makes Forbes Richest Women List

Forbes magazine has just published the Top 20 Richest Women in Entertainment list. Madonna ranks at #4, with an conservative estimate net worth of $325 million.

Here's what Lea Goldman and Kirri Blakely of Forbes had to say:
'She could have easily disappeared into pop obscurity like other pop starlets, who came to fame via MTV during the 1980s. But Madonna's masterful manipulation of her image and the press. Combined with an astute business sense have crowned her as one of the most wealthiest and enduring acts.
While her albums don't sell the way they used to, her concerts still set attendance records all over the world,grossing $1 billion over the course of her 20 year career. The Material Girl's portfolio is also crammed with expensive items like contemporary art, real estate and a wardrobe of no small historical significance.'

Forbes list of the 20 Richest Women in Entertainment will be a one-hour special on the E! Network Saturday 20 January. Check your local listings for times.

...conservative estimate net worth of $325 million.

Heck, I'd be happy if someone gave me $325!

Here's a pic taken during her live Today show appearance (for which she arrived late!), after Meredith Viera dragged her out of the studio to meet the fans freezing their tails off outside.

Meredith asked her if she missed NYC...Madge said yes, that she wanted to move back, etc. Wonder if THAT will happen?

She's got some stupid hair. In my opinion, that silly purple leotard and dumb 70's hair (BAD 70's hair) kept "Confessions" from being as much of a success as it could have been.

Or maybe it was just the lack of radio play (in the U.S.)?

SKANK!

Is that your new canned response for Madonna threads? Personally, I'd become kinda fond of "TALENTLESS WHORE!"

Sorry I was in a hurry, I won't let it happen again.

TALENTLESS WHORE!!

ehuffnsd said:

i couldn't decide which was better..that one or this one....

While her albums don't sell the way they used to

yeah.."Confessions.." was a flop.

CHIC0 said:

When I read that comment, I was thinking "yeah, and neither do anyone else's!" Sales are just ridiculous now compared to 20 years ago.

lazycrockett said:

OK, now we're set!

CandaceS said:

exactly. they don't sell compared to who? lol

them american idol and disney kids seem to be able to sell albums.

sosgemini said:

bitch! no you di'in't!!!

CHIC0 said:

easy with the "bitch"-ness turbo.

but no, seriously...i think labels *and* artist need to realize that there is different business model that needs to be used to selling albums...if mary j can still sale a boat loads of albums then it can be done.

but these fly by release a video, do a couple different talk shows and then disappear efforts that stars used in the past just doesn't work anymore.

(and madge's tour was not in support of her album at all...)

just saying.

sosgemini said:

are you talking about the "Confessions" tour or "Re-Invention" not being in support of the album?

CHIC0 said:

Confessions...

sosgemini said:

sosgemini said:

all but two songs from confessions were featured on the tour. the tour was called "the confessions tour." how could that not be in support of the confessions on a dance floor cd?

sallysassalot said:

because (and i can only speak from my experience) there wasn't a coordinated media push for the album and the tour...no radio spots, no local press...what was pushed was "madonna" but not the album. get what i mean?

and she only played a couple of the songs when i saw her.

sosgemini said:

madonna's shows are tightly choreographed. its highly unlikely she did a unique show for your city.

and every madonna tour is a "madonna" event.

sallysassalot said:

realness.

sosgemini said:

are you trying to stir the pot?

Confessions was totally about the Confessions on a Dancefloor cd, even Coachella was for COADF

sosgemini said:

On the Confessions Tour,Madonna played no less than ten songs from the COADF album:

Future Lovers
Get Together
Jump
Forbidden Love
Isaac
Sorry
Like It Or Not
I Love New York
Let It Will Be
Hung Up

There were only two songs from COADF that she didn't play:

How High
Push

I think it's safe to say that her tour was all about her most recent album

CHIC0 said:

'Confessions' sold over 8 million copies worldwide.Of course,she sold more records in the 80s,but 8 million is nothing to sneeze at.Most of her peers aren't selling like that.

CandaceS said:[quote][b]

This would make her the richest female pop artist...way ahead of folks like Mariah and J-Lo.

SoulAlive said:

i dont remember any of those songs except for Hung Up and Jump being played...so maybe the problem was the songs are horribly forgettable...

i guess i was wrong.

sosgemini said:

you're funny

SoulAlive said:

i was being serious.

sosgemini said:

If you didn't like Confessions (the album),it's a safe bet that you probably wouldn't like the concert either.The tour was basically a live presentation of that album (with a few oldies thrown in).
