Madonna Talks “M.D.N.A.” Album

Posted in Celebrities, Gossip, Hollywood, Madonna

She’s one of the biggest pop icons of all time, and Madonna plans to continue her reign as the queen of music as she readies the release of her latest record “M.D.N.A.”

Fans have been chomping at the bit after getting a listen of two tracks from the Material Girl’s new album,”Gimme All Your Luvin” and “Masterpiece.”

While “Gimme” features Madonna’s token upbeat tempo, Madge described “Masterpiece” as much different and “more reflective.”

Additionally, the singer explained, “I think the majority of the record is more action-packed. More high-energy.”

While no official release date has been announced, reports say the album should be available for purchase sometime in March.

Cate Blanchett Celebrates Louis Vuitton’s Roma Etoile

Posted in Cate Blanchett, Celebrities, Gossip, Hollywood

Stepping out for a glitzy Italian soiree, Cate Blanchett was all dressed up for the Maison Louis Vuitton Roma Etoile Opening Party in Rome on Friday night (January 27).

The “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” beauty worked the arrivals area alongside fellow guests such as Catherine Deneuve, Margareth Made, Kanika Kapoor, Natalia Vodianova and Tamara Falco before heading inside for cocktails and conversation.

The Maison Louis Vuitton appearance comes as Miss Blanchett and Andrew Upton have caused a bit of a debacle due to their announcement that they’re stepping down as co-artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company at the end of the 2013 season.

After running a column claiming that the theater company’s board of directors was unpleased with the couple’s tenure, the Sydney Theatre Company has since denied any such situation – instead issuing a statement saying, “The reality is that the board asked Cate and Andrew to stay on after their current term ends in 2013.”

The refutal of the Herald’s story added, “As they announced at the launch of the 2012 season, it was always their intention to only stay for two terms. We asked Cate and Andrew to stay on but we respect their decisions to leave in two years time to pursue other professional interests.”

Posted in Celebrities, Gossip, Hollywood

She’s seen her career make giant strides over the past twelve months, and Elizabeth Olsen was chosen to cover the March 2012 issue of ASOS magazine.

The 22-year-old actress posed for a delightfully artsy Todd Cole shot spread located in Brooklyn Botanic Garden while speaking with the publication about misconceived thoughts about her upbringing, openness to mainstream movies, and famous siblings, Mary-Kate and Ashley.

‘Mob Wives’ Renee Graziano Hospitalized After Dad’s Bust in Mafia Crime Sweep

Posted in Celebrities, Gossip, Hollywood

“Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano was rushed to a NYC hospital by ambulance today … just hours after feds busted her father and several other Bonanno crime family members.

Sources close to the Graziano family tell TMZ … Renee had a panic attack, collapsed, and had trouble breathing when she got news that her dad, Anthony “TG” Graziano, had been arrested in an early morning raid.

A “Mob Wives” rep confirms Renee was admitted to the emergency room and is still getting treatment right now.

Further upsetting for Renee — the fact her ex-husband played a role in her father’s arrest. Hector Pagan, who’s appeared on the VH-1 show, has reportedly turned rat for the DEA.

They got babies on the brain!

It hasn’t been long (at all) since Rosie O’Donnell announced her engagement to girlfriend Michelle Rounds, and they’re making it very clear that they don’t want to waste any time when it comes to growing their family.

While hosting her OWN talk show Rosie today, the 49-year-old shared with guest Dr. Mehmet Oz that she and her fiancée are already trying for a baby.

“She’s trying to get pregnant,” O’Donnell told him.

A source told Us Weekly, “Michelle is seeing a fertility doctor. She is really excited and they cannot wait to add to their family. Rosie goes to all of her doctors’ appointments with her and is really supportive. She isn’t pregnant yet but they hope as soon as possible she will be.”

This prospective bundle of joy would be the first child for the couple and the fifth for Rosie, who has four children from her previous marriage with Kelli Carpenter.

Chuck Liddell’s Girlfriend has a Nice Ass

Posted in Celebrities, Chuck Liddell, Gossip, Hollywood

Although Chuck Liddell’s girlfriend is not exactly a celebrity, I thought you’d like to see her photos dressed in short shorts and doing squats. With an ass like that, and those tanned muscular legs, I bet it won’t take her long to become well known in Tinsel Town. But because of her always being accompanied by Chuck Liddell, I doubt a single agent or paparazzo will approach her, so her discovery may actually take a while. Not every body wants to be beat to a pulp in lieu of their work.

Chuck Liddell’s girlfriend (I have no idea what her name is) was working out with her sugar daddy yesterday morning in Venice Beach when these photos were snapped. As you can see, it pays to get up early and roam the streets of California; you can always count on seeing hot chicks in small outfits.

Halle Berry has a New Boyfriend

Posted in Celebrities, Gossip, Halle Berry, Hollywood

Halle Berry doesn’t waste time beating around the bushes and moping over dumped super models. Just a few months after her break up with the father of her daughter, Berry is banging a nude dude: French actor Oliver Martinez, picture above while coming back from a trip to the grocery store with the beautiful black-American actress.

According to People Magazine, Halle Berry and Oliver Martinez were apart for a week, and their re-encounter was very emotional. He showed up with a bandaged arm, and her, to make him feel better, took him to French art gallery Marcelita L’Art et Le Thé in West Hollywood. After that, they went back to Halle’s place, where you can imagine what else they did.

Will Madonna Duet With Cee Lo Green At Super Bowl?

Posted in Celebrities, Gossip, Hollywood, Madonna

Madonna might already have M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj on the stage with her for her big Super Bowl halftime performance; now comes word that she could also be joined by Cee Lo Green.

According to sources, the singer has asked “The Voice” judge to perform with her at the February 5 show. “The Insider” reports that he’s been flying to New York to rehearse with the pop icon. The sources add that he will contribute his signature flair to some of her classic tunes.

The pairing would make sense given that the new season of “The Voice” premieres right after the Super Bowl next month.

Reps for both performers did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment by press time.

MTV News caught up with the Queen of Pop at her “W.E.” premiere earlier this week in New York, and the singer only had one tease about the Super Bowl gig. “I am not saying ‘Yes,’ and I am not saying ‘No,’ ” she replied when asked whether Minaj and M.I.A. would take the stage with her. She added, “Pom poms. That’s all I can tell you.”

When the singer takes the halftime stage next month, her performance will be “imagined” by Cirque du Soleil and Madonna’s longtime choreographer and creative director Jamie King. According to reports, the set list for the show will include new single “Give Me All Your Luvin” as well as the Madonna classics “Ray of Light,” “Vogue” and “Music.”

“I have eight minutes to set up my stage, 12 minutes to put on the greatest show on earth, and I have seven minutes to take it down so that football field is clean for the second half of the game,” she told ABC News about the performance. “That’s the challenge. How do you do that? I actually wanted to have 100 drummers come from the ceiling, a drum line from the ceiling.”

In addition to her Super Bowl performance, Madonna’s fans are awaiting the release of her next studio album, M.D.N.A., out later this year.
