She went on the biggest grossing tour of her career recently..then there was a DVD / Book and Live CD released..mag spreads, directing and interviews, greatest hit and vido collection released in 2010 where were you??

I was along for the ride, I didn't get to the Sticky Sweet tour though, You?

Still hoping Madonna will be here in 2012. I recently bought a used lot of Madonna CDs from the early 80s up to Bedtime Stories. I am now revisiting 80s Madonna with True Blue and Like A Virgin, which I last heard on cassette tapes. I forgot how much I liked these years ago. I have never heard Bedtime Stories--looking forward to listening to it from all the comments on the other thread. Definitely a rekindled interest in ole Madge!

She looks so pretty now, expecally compared to how she looked a little while ago

Madonna has been so lazy with her music career for 5 years...

I think "Confessions" was so killer that it took the wind out her creatively...

Yes I LIKE "Hard Candy" a lot...but there was something about both it and the tour that for the first time, with M, felt 'phoned in...'

I remember some unnamed celebrity/source in US saying something about M during the 2008 era referring to her then-current stuff as "Half assed b*****"...I wouldn't go that far, but I see what s/he meant.

So if you count the past 3 years when she's been off trying to have a pissing contest with her ex by making some piece of shit movie, it's like dude...come on bitch...put out some new shit and come with it...quit leaking pieces of shit from your cell phone as 'demos' to get perez hilton and the message boards yapping...just put out some hot shit, you've done it 1,000 times before.

"We anticipate a very bright future at our new home," says Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary in a statement being issued Dec. 15.

Madonna's Interscope-Live Nation Deal Worth $40 Million; Album Due Out in March
12:41 AM PST 12/15/2011 by Shirley Halperin
shareComments 4 The first release of the three-album deal will be a new single, "Gimme All Your Luvin," scheduled to hit the last week of January.
Madonna’s new album is finished and will be released in March 2012 on Interscope Records, the label and Live Nation Entertainment are expected to announce on Thursday morning.

Madonna Signs With Interscope, Source ConfirmsMadonna Performing at Super Bowl: What the Pundits are SayingNew Movie Reviews: 'New Year's Eve,' 'Young Adult,' Madonna's 'W.E.' Hitting Theaters Official: Van Halen Signs With Interscope RecordsIn 2007, Live Nation signed the superstar to a 10-year deal reportedly worth $100 million -- this portion of the commitment is being valued at $40 million, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The Universal Music Group-owned label will release three albums by the Material Girl. Her first single, called “Gimme All Your Luvin,” is due out the last week in January (a demo of the song leaked in early November) just ahead of Madonna’s halftime performance at the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. Two days earlier, the film W.E., which Madonna directed and co-wrote, is scheduled to hit theaters.

The as-yet-untitled album is her first in five years. Madonna had been signed to Warner Bros. since 1982. Van Halen, another Warners act, also recently signed with Interscope, adding to an increasingly healthy stable of rock and pop artists who launched their careers in the 80s, which includes U2. Lady Gaga, who is often compared to Madonna, is also on the Interscope roster.


The multi-faceted "360" deal includes studio albums, touring, merchandising, fan club/website, DVD’s, music-related television and film projects and associated sponsorship agreements.

“We anticipate a very bright future at our new home,” says Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary in a statement being issued Dec. 15. Adds Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M: "Very rarely does an opportunity like this come around. We would like to thank Madonna, Guy and Live Nation for their belief in us."

If she'll be in Vegas on September 5 2012,then the West Coast dates will be around that time too I'm gonna mark my calendar right now....lol...

Madonna signs three-album contract with Interscope, continues comeback run

Though she inked an extremely high-profile “360″ deal with Live Nation back in 2007, Madonna still needs the label system to distribute her new music. After spending the entirety of her career in the bosom of Warner Bros., she has signed on with Interscope for a three album deal. According to Billboard, she’ll earn a base of $1 million per album, starting with her next release (which is reportedly near completion and scheduled to be released some time in 2012).

That seems like a pretty paltry sum for one of the biggest icons in pop music history, though remember that she will still be collecting from her Live Nation deal through 2017 (and the fact that her Sticky & Sweet tour grossed $408 million doesn’t hurt, either).

It works out well for everybody, as Live Nation doesn’t have to muck about with the business of distributing new music, Interscope gets another marquee star for its roster for a relatively small investment, and Madonna gets a few more million dollars to cover the inevitable W.E. losses.

In fact, Madonna’s signing makes way more sense than any of the deals currently being tossed about among baseball general managers. The Angels threw $254 million for 10 years of service from first baseman Albert Pujols, somehow expecting that he’ll provide $25 million in service when he’s 40 years old (since statistically he’s already on the decline).

Assuming she takes three years between albums, Madonna will be 60 when she releases the final album under her Interscope contract. While that sounds somewhat problematic in a vacuum, Madonna has been an innovator and a shape-shifter for the entirety of her career.

Even her missteps (*cough*American Life*cough*) are pretty interesting, and though her last two albums saw her turn up the juice on the four-on-the-floor BPMs, there’s no reason to suspect she won’t keep shifting to fit both herself and the current pop market. If she keeps delivering stylistic shakeups like the recently-leaked “Masterpiece,” she should be just fine.

I don't know why she didn't stay within the same realm of Confessions music, there is so much diversity that could have come out of that.

There are songs from Music, like What It Feels Like For a Girl, Don't Tell Me and a few others then Miles Away, Give It To Me, Hollywood that are some nice grooves and melodies, I wish she would explore more of the feel of those songs along with Confessions music

Nice pics of Madonna.. very classy...shes beautiful...

so good to see her again .. forgot how pretty she is .. love the pictures

Louis Vuitton revealed the first in a series of print ads featuring their Spring/Summer 2009 campaign spokesmodel, the Material Girl Madonna.

In the ads shot by fashion photog Steve Meisel, Madonna shows over her agile frame with a smoldering glance into the camera that reminds fans-and those of us who simply tolerate her presence-why she’s been a permanent fixture in the recording industry for the past quarter century.

“I just blurted out, ‘I think we should do Madonna,” respected designer Marc Jacobs, the French fashion house’s creative director, says of the decision to have the pop music icon front this season’s campaign.

“I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy.”
