Buying Madonna's house: A tale of family, fame and misfortune

Years before Karolyne Smith sold Golden Palace Casino ad space on her forehead for $10,000, and long before an image of the Virgin Mary was toasted into the buttery crust of a grilled cheese sandwich and hocked for $28,000, there was a little family in a little town in Michigan that imprinted their names onto the awkward pages of eBay infamy with another strange sale.
That family is mine.
Just about everyone in my hometown of Rochester Hills knew Madonna had grown up there, but I would guess there weren't too many who could point out which house had been hers. That is, until we bought it and put it on national TV.
It all started when I returned home from college after my freshman year to find my newfound freedom again weighed down by daily parental oversight. It was that awkward juncture between childhood and adulthood, and one muttered phrase to my dad - 'Did you know Madonna's house is for sale? You should buy it and put it on eBay' - sent us down a path that would become the story of something much bigger than us, even bigger than one of the world's most famous celebrities.
My older brother Matt almost never tells the story. It was my dad's money of course, but in his mid-20s, Matt became the face of it all because my dad doesn't love attention and youth sells. He and my father have decidedly different takes on the whole ordeal. My brother says he's embarrassed at the outcome and disappointed that in some circles he may always be known for this one stupid thing. My dad chalks it up to a 'great learning experience and a lot of fun.'
It was a 30-day auction that just happened to bookend one of the biggest events in U.S. history. At the time, eBay was a relatively new phenomenon, and celebrity worship was at an all-time high. When you watch this video, you may judge us harshly, but I want to share this story because I believe it says a striking amount about one of the starkest cultural shifts our country has ever experienced. It's perhaps the least important story you'll ever see on the subject, but I hope you'll find it interesting, because I had to beg to get my family to tell it again.

Madonna Wants To Be US President

Madonna wishes she could be President of the United States.
The pop superstar believes she would do a great job if she was able to take control of the country and her main goal would be to stop the country wasting money on 'weapons of mass destruction'.
When asked what she would do if she was President of the United States for one day, she said: 'You can't really change much in one day. I think I would like to be president for a longer time. I wouldn't spend as much money for weapons of mass destruction but instead for education and art.'
Although she has achieved worldwide success, Madonna's ambition and drive has not diminished over the years.
The 53-year-old singer attributes her success to her thirst for reinvention and never taking 'anything for granted'.
She explained: 'It's harder to stay famous than become famous. I don't think there's a rule for that (staying successful). You have to really love what you're doing. You have to feed your soul with ideas and you're not allowed to stop growing as a human. That's what helps to create art. When it comes to my work I don't take anything for granted.'

Madonna to 'solve' city tram chaos in Edinburgh

They have caused chaos and forced shops to close, but now the answer to tram trouble in the West End has been revealed - a Madonna 'flashmob'.
Revellers heading to the Queen of Pop’s Murrayfield concert on July 21 are being urged to gather in the struggling district for an impromptu dance to her hits.
Tram chiefs are to hold the flashmob in an attempt to boost the fortunes of ailing businesses in the area.
Project bosses have released £70,000 from a contingency fund for a publicity drive to revive the area, with the event on the list of key pledges.
However, traders who have been pleading for signs to inform shoppers the district is open for business today urged them to sort out the signs first.
Traders said the simple option had been shunned in favour of staging a trendy event, at which prizes will be handed out.
Tram chiefs also plan to promote the West End through Facebook and intend to run an advertising campaign.

Madonna's Son Teaches Her To Breakdance

Madonna's son Rocco is teaching her how to breakdance.
The 53-year-old pop superstar has mastered numerous dance moves throughout her four-decade spanning career but she is struggling to copy Rocco's street-inspired shapes.
When asked if she teaches her 11-year-old son to breakdance, she replied: 'No, he shows them to me. But I'm pretty bad. My son loves breakdance!'
Madonna admits her kids - Rocco, Lourdes, 15, David, six, and Mercy, seven - keep her up-to-date on current music trends and she is a big fan of Dubstep.
She revealed: 'I love dubstep. My children have a very good taste. My children play new music to me.I play music from the 80s to them as well. For example Kurtis Blow. B-Boy music!'
As well as playing 80s music to her children, the 'Girl Gone Wild' singer has also introduced her brood to iconic French musician Edith Piaf.
She said: 'I play soundtracks to them. And stuff from the past, like Edith Piaf. We help each other mutually when it comes to music.'
'La Vie en Rose' singer Edith - who shot to fame in the 40s and 50s - is considered one of France's most culturally important figures and she had a turbulent personal life which saw her battle morphine and alcohol addictions.

Pop Star's Empire Poised To Earn $500 Million in 2012

Madonna isn't called a 'Material Girl' for nothing. Here's a breakdown of what she's poised to pocket in 2012 - it could be as much as $500 million in one year alone.

- $300 million from her MDNA World Tour. Live Nation announced $240 Million in ticket sales before a South American leg was added, which could earn an additional $40 million-plus. An Australian leg of the tour is being announced shortly.

- Industry insiders say $75 million in tour merchandise sales is not unlikely. This has always been a huge moneymaker for Madonna, who will have an even bigger spread of merchandise available at her upcoming shows.

- $60 million is expected in sales for her new perfume, Truth or Dare, according to Women's Wear Daily.

- Insiders report that Madonna made $10 million from her recent deal with Smirnoff. The company has been hyping her tour with TV spots and has just released a special 'Madonna' edition bottle of their vodka.

- The Queen of Pop is hoping to rake in $10 million in TV and DVD worldwide rights for the broadcast of her upcoming tour.

- Retail experts say Madonna will earn $5 million in 2012 from her "Material Girl" clothing line and upcoming Macy's lingerie line.

Aussie nanny's life after Madonna

Enjoying the autumnal sunshine of a peaceful Swan Valley vineyard is a far cry from Angela Jacobsen’s former life in the heart of the frenetic, jet-set world of pop superstar Madonna.
Ms Jacobsen was nanny to Madonna’s son David Banda for 18 months after the singer adopted the little boy from Malawi four years ago.
Now back in her native Australia, Ms Jacobsen looks back on the surreal experience of a globe-trotting life with Madonna that saw entertained in Indian palaces, go to remote islands accessible only by seaplane and join the pop queen’s world tour for six months.
'It’s great to look back on now and reflect on. When you’re living in the bubble, it’s a lot more daunting. It was an amazing experience,' the 32-year-old said.
Ms Jacobsen was a nanny for former Swedish tennis player Thomas Johansson in London where the Swede was playing at Wimbledon when she got the call from her Australian agency that Madonna was looking for a nanny.
She describes the telephone interview with Madonna as 'the most intimidating interview of my life'.
'She was a great boss and I mean it was obviously quite a full-on experience. She was fantastic to work for and a big motivation for me. She’s very much a loving mother,' Ms Jacobsen said.
'I saw a different side to her on a personal note, how hard she works. I watched this girl power: you can do anything you want and there is no such thing as the word no. There is a way to get around that word at every opportunity.'

Madonna: Beastie Boys' Yauch was one of a kind

Madonna says Adam Yauch, the Beastie Boys rapper who died Friday, was one of a kind and that the group was important to her musical history.
The singer says the seminal hip-hop group was 'integral to the musical revolution that was happening at the time.'
Yauch's representatives confirmed that the rapper, also known as MCA, died Friday morning in New York after a nearly three-year battle with cancer.
Madonna says she was sad to hear of Yauch's death and asked God to bless his family.
The Beastie Boys opened for Madonna on tour in the 1980s, and the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month.

Madonna: 'I am afraid of ignorant people'

Madonna thinks the world is full of 'ignorant people'.
The pop sensation has been a lightning rod for controversy with her eccentric fashions and lively stage shows throughout her career. Most recently her music promo for Girl Gone Bad was banned from YouTube for being too racy.
The Material Girl star believes such attitudes have held her back. She has blamed narrow-mindedness for the problems in the world today.
'I am afraid of ignorant people, I hate the prejudices,' she told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
'So I cannot foresee what will happen in my life because the world is full of ignorant people. We should destroy the prejudices if we want to live in a better world.'
The singer feels her own attitude has adjusted since she became a mother. She has daughter Lourdes, son Rocco and adopted children David and Mercy.
'Thanks to my children I am became a better woman. Now I am less serious, I have an elastic view of life. I am more permissive,' she said.
Madonna's children are already showing up their mother. She recalled a recent skiing holiday where she couldn't keep up with the young ones on the slopes.
'Last year I learnt to ski. It was a gorgeous experience. I had never done it before,' she said.
'My children are very good on snowboards and I was jealous. So the next step will be the snowboard. I hope to avoid the paparazzi though, because I will fall over a lot!'

Madonna: Eyedrops burn

Madonna uses special Japanese eye drops that 'burn a lot' but help brighten her peepers.
The Material Girl star admits she has trouble going about her early morning tasks as she has a demanding work schedule.
The mother-of-four's solution to her morning blues comes in a bottle.
'I wake up when my children go to school,' she told Italian magazine Vanity Fair.
'Then I come back to bed because I usually get to sleep late at night. If I didn't have this second round of sleep I would remain nervous all day long. As soon as I get up I wash my face with very cold water and I use some sort of special Japanese eye drops. It burns a lot but it helps me to wake up even if I don't want to.'
Madonna sticks to her beauty routine even while juggling her career and raising her children - Lourdes and Rocco, and adopted kids David and Mercy. One of her biggest skin care customs is simple and no fuss.
'Before go to bed I always brush my teeth and take off the make-up. I never went to sleep without scrubbing my face,' she said.
Madonna, who recently launched her new perfume fragrance Truth Or Dare, looks to her mother for inspiration. Her mom died of breast cancer at age 30 in 1963.
'My mother was a real mother,' she said.
'She was sweet, very womanly, and friendly. She would always wear the Robert Piguet perfume called Fracas. I still remember it, it's pressed in my memory. I connect it with my childhood, when I got up early and I would run into my parent's bed just to receive some cuddles.'

Who Are Madonna’s 'Old School' Beauty Icons?

She may be a Material Girl, but Madonna loves her budget buys, too. In fact, the singer told PEOPLE that when she’s hanging out at home, she wears basic Victoria’s Secret sweatpants.
However, Madonna does have some bigger beauty buys; she said she can’t live without Yves Saint Laurent mascara in aubergine (it highlights her favorite feature, her eyes) and often has to hide her makeup bag from her daughters. According to the star, 'Lourdes steals my tweezers, and Mercy [takes] my pink lip gloss.'
Though Madonna herself is a style icon, she draws inspiration from a roster of famous women. 'Wallis Simpson, fashion-wise,' she told PEOPLE at her recent fragrance launch in N.Y.C. 'Sophia Loren, what a great beauty. I’m old school - I like a lot of the actresses from days gone by, like Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Bette Davis. Women who are strong and opinionated and hardworking, productive, resourceful, working girls, working mothers, but they manage to look good, too.'
Perhaps that’s where her current mantra comes from; when asked what she’d tell her younger self about life, she replied simply, 'Looks aren’t everything.'

Madonna DA admits to goof

Manhattan prosecutors admit they made 'a dumb mistake' for letting a Madonna-besotted ex-firefighter slip through their fingers by waiting too long to try him - but they want another crack at him anyway.
Robert Linhart had been busted in September 2010 after he twice parked outside the singer’s ninth-floor, Upper West Side apartment, opened cans of paint and started crafting poster-board professions of love.
He was charged with felony weapons possession - for a gravity knife and an awl - and spent several weeks in Rikers, unable to post bail.
The case was dismissed last month for prosecutors’ failure to meet speedy trial deadlines.
A judge yesterday agreed to give the DA another shot.
'If this was John Q Public and not Madonna, they wouldn’t be pushing so hard,' Linhart’s lawyer, Kevin Kitson, told The Post.

It was 30 years ago today....

It may seem like only yesterday but 30 years ago on April 24, 1982, Sire Records honcho Seymour Stein released a single called 'EVERYBODY' on Warner Bros. Records by an unknown singer from Rochester, Michigan by the name of Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone.

To say the world would never be the same is an understatement. The song went on to become a huge dancefloor hit and was heard all over the radio in the Summer of 1982.

That little girl from Michigan would go on to become one of the most famous entertainers and cultural icons in history - selling millions of records and remaining a star of enormous magnitude and influence for the next 30 years. She's just getting started.

I'm not pushing Lourdes - Madonna

Madonna has said her teenage daughter Lourdes has no plans to follow in her footsteps as a performer.
The superstar said her talented 15-year-old was still not entirely sure in which area she would make a career.
But in an interview with ITV1's Daybreak and Lorraine today (Friday), Madonna said she would not push her on any particular path - the choice would be her own.
She said: 'I don't think she wants to follow - she doesn't want to be me. I think she wants to be herself.'
'And she can do many things, she can play the piano, she can dance, she can sing. But I don't think she really knows what she wants to do and I'm not going to push her in any direction, I want her to come to that organically.'
Lourdes has already added her backing vocals to her mother's recent album MDNA, on the track Superstar.
Madonna also said that, despite being highly driven in her career, her advisers are sometimes frustrated that work sometimes takes a back seat to her family.
'I mean, it's always a juggling act,' she said.
'Right now I'm working quite a lot so sometimes, often - to the irritation of my manager - I say no to things.'
'I should be out promoting my record a lot more but if I do that, then I have no free time with my children, so I have to make sacrifices.'

The 'Girl Gone Wild' musician then went on to discuss her admiration for Adele, enthusing: 'I would love to [work with her]. I would love to meet her, I think she's brilliant, I love her.'
Madonna also mentioned that she had hoped Adele would join her for her Super Bowl performance in February, but explained that Adele was unable to take part.
'I think she was having her throat problem, or throat operation, or something,' she said.
Madonna recently defended Adele against comments about her weight, describing the jibes as 'ridiculous'.

Remembering Dick Clark

Madonna has made this statement about the late Dick Clark:

'Even though I told him in 1984 that I wanted to rule the world, it’s Dick Clark who ruled the world. He loved what he did and his energy and enthusiasm were boundless. A great man. I bow to his memory and everything he did with his life.'

Punk star Smith 'inspired Madonna'

Madonna has revealed an unlikely musical inspiration - punk poet Patti Smith.
The singer, who recently scored her 12th No 1 album with MDNA, has named Smith's recording of Gloria as one of her key influences.
Despite her background in the New York dance scene as she began her career she went for the reworking of the track written by Van Morrison and originally recorded by his band Them in 1964.
Madonna has long been known for her references to religion throughout her work and she cited the line 'Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine', which Smith added to the song, as her key inspiration.
She chose the lyric and song after being invited to give her choice as part of HMV's 'my inspiration' campaign - the 300th artist to do so.
The campaign began in 2006 when David Bowie selected a line from Syd Barrett's song Gigolo Aunt. Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and Lady Gaga are among the other names to have taken part.
The almost six-minute version of Gloria featured on Smith's 1975 debut Horses.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: 'We've been honoured to have some truly legendary artists take part in recent years, but we're particularly proud and thrilled that Madonna has agreed to participate to celebrate our 300th landmark.'
'Naturally we were really intrigued to learn her choice, but should have guessed that, in Patti Smith, she'd go for another artist who has rewritten the rules and, in Gloria, a song that makes a powerful statement.'

Liz Smith: Neck and neck - Madonna and Barbra

I doubt that Barbra Streisand is sitting around worrying over it, but Madonna has scored her eighth No. 1 album, with MDNA. That puts Madonna just one No. 1 behind La Streisand.
Both the Big M and the Giant ... ah ... BS? ... would likely say breaking records and how many times you reach No. 1 doesn't matter. It's only about the art. And they probably believe what they say. They're actresses, after all.
Barbra is busy with plans to bring 'Gypsy' back to the screen, and put her indelible stamp on Mama Rose. Madonna is about to begin another one of those grueling worldwide concert tours that leave her exhausted, too thin and millions of dollars richer.
Madonna's fans are hoping the third single from the album will be 'I'm a Sinner.' The song has an incredible, throbbing hook and it's classic Madonna - she's sinning, she likes it, 'please Lord help me stop before I sin again!' (When she starts to chant about the saints - Christopher, Anthony, Augustine, etc - it's like the good old days of the 1980s.)

Why Madonna still leads, others follow

LZ Granderson, who writes a weekly column for CNN.com, was named journalist of the year by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and a 2011 Online Journalism Award finalist for commentary. Here are his thoughts on Madonna:

I thought she was over. Madonna, that is.
I thought she was too old to be referring to herself as a 'girl.' I thought pop music passed her by. I thought Lady Gaga had killed her.
And then I look at this week's Billboard chart and I see I thought wrong.
Her 12th CD, 'MDNA' debuted No. 1 on the album chart and she has two singles on the dance-chart Top 10. She's 53 and the clubs are banging her new stuff, including 'Give Me All Your Luvin,' which became her 38th top 10 hit on the pop chart. For those of you keeping score, that's more than Elvis, more than The Beatles. I'm not saying she's better, but clearly she's done - correction - doing more.
This year she won another Golden Globe and her halftime performance at the Super Bowl drew more viewers than the game itself, according to Nielsen. I know the perception is that only gay men care about Madonna, but if that were true, given the 114 million viewers who tuned in to watch her at halftime, maybe 'don't ask, don't tell' should have been called 'just assume.'
The reality is it's hard for pop music to leave behind someone who keeps leading the pack. Madonna had the highest grossing tour ever for a solo artist (2008) and has sold more than 300 million records worldwide. She's an '80s child whose 2005 single 'Hung Up' holds the Guinness Book record for topping the charts in 41 countries, while 2012's MDNA was No. 1 on iTunes in 40 countries.
That's not 'over,' that's now.

Liz Smith on smokin' Madonna (and Lourdes)

Speaking of smoking. I hardly think the overheated 'news' that Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes, caught puffing a cig, was the kind of publicity the Big M wanted, on the very day her 'MDNA' album was officially released - to mostly excellent reviews, and No.1 on iTunes in 35 countries.
In all the years I’ve known Madonna I’ve never seen her smoke. I’ve never even been in a room with her where anybody else was smoking. Apparently, she indulged back in the day, but that must have been way back. Madonna has used smoking as a 'glamorous' prop in movies and videos. Most recently, she was seen taking a drag in her 'Girl Gone Wild' video. That one is so over-the-top it’s been banned from MTV, so who’d notice smoking amid the near-naked dancers writhing around? Well, enough people noticed to cause a bit of a ruckus and now Madonna is accused of setting a bad example for 'Lola.'
This story was on top of Yahoo’s news page!
Madonna, like all normal parents - and she is, believe it or not - can’t control her children’s every move. Madonna doesn’t care much about what people say about her. But she worries over her children’s health.
Her video banned? Great. Her daughter smoking? No way to make that seem cool.

Madonna: 'I still believe in love'

Even after her divorce from director Guy Ritchie, Madonna declares that 'I still believe in love.' She adds that her dream man must compare to 'John Travolta in 'Saturday Night Fever,' Bruce Lee, and Abraham Lincoln.'
The Material Girl has given her first interview to Larry Flick’s SiriusXM show about her new album 'MDNA,' out March 26, which contains two songs that appear to be about her failed relationship with Ritchie. On the song 'I Don't Give A ...' the Material Girl sings, 'I tried to be a good girl/I tried to be your wife/Diminished myself/And I swallowed my light/I tried to become all/That you expect of me/And if it was a failure/I don’t give a [bleep].'
Meanwhile on the track, 'I [Bleeped] Up,' the 53-year-old songstress sounds more remorseful, singing 'You brought out the best in me/ And somehow I destroyed the perfect dream.'
Still, Madonna says these songs shouldn't be an indication that she is skeptical about love.
'Obviously, I had to get some things off my chest,' she said of writing the songs but not directly mentioning Ritchie, who she divorced in 2008 citing 'unreasonable behavior.' 'I think I still have a lot to say. I still get pissed off about things, and I still believe in love.'
When prodded on whether she considers herself a romantic, Madge said, 'Of course! How could there not be? How could you be a songwriter and not be romantic?'
Madonna says that the song 'Superstar' focuses on her ongoing quest for love.
'It's about finding a man you can look up to, and comparing them to archetypes that I obviously adore - John Travolta in 'Saturday Night Fever,' Bruce Lee, Abraham Lincoln. I name people who I look up to and admire,' explains Madonna. 'I compare the object of my affection to all these people.'

Madonna Opens Up About Whitney Houston's Death

Madonna was struck by a 'shocking sense of disbelief' after learning of Whitney Houston's death because she had just watched an old TV interview with the 'innocent, young and cute' singer.
Madonna was stunned when the I Will Always Love You hitmaker was found dead on 11 February because they were so close in age, and the Material Girl admits she was jealous of Houston when they launched their careers around the same time.
She tells Britain's The Sun, 'I, probably like everybody else, was hit by this shocking sense of disbelief - especially with Whitney Houston...One thing I was struck by with Whitney Houston is I remember she sort of came out as a singer around the same time I did. I remember looking at her singing and hearing people talk about her, and just thinking, 'Oh my God. She's such a beautiful woman and my God, what an incredible voice. I wish I could sing like that.' I just remember being extremely envious of her and also touched by her innocence.'
'I was watching a documentary about Serge Gainsbourg, the French songwriter, and there's a famous talk show he did that happened a while back when Whitney was just starting. It was funny, because I'd just watched it the week before she died, where he was making a kind of play for her on national television and he was basically saying in French that he wanted to 'f' her - and the look of shock on her face...I mean, she was so innocent and so young, and so cute, and really she blushed.'
'And I was thinking, 'We are all innocent at one stage in our life. It's just interesting, the paths our lives take.' I was struck by that - how well she started and where she ended up and the tragedy of it.'

Adele jibe was horrible - Madonna

Madonna has leapt to the defence of Adele branding fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's comments about her weight as 'horrible'.
The German fashion guru described the Someone Like You star as 'a little too fat' during an interview last month.
Madonna told The Sun: 'That's horrible. That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.'
'I don't like it when anybody says anything bad about anyone - I don't like it. Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it.'
Madonna also revealed she is 'incredibly anxiety ridden' about her tour later this year, but has no plans to quit music.
She said: 'I love music, I love telling stories. So I guess as long as I feel that way I'll keep doing what I'm doing.'

She said: 'I'm not going to lie - it's hard work having four kids and doing all the work I do
'Everybody has something to say about the way I live my life. At the end of the day I'm doing my best. If people don't like it, then that's really their problem.'
'Sometimes I cope with it very well, sometimes it's a struggle. It's a challenge juggling everything - multi-tasking is my middle name.'
The 53-year-old singer also revealed her kids try to outsmart her by speaking to one another in French because they know her grasp of the language isn't as good as theirs.
She added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: 'We just try to have as normal a life as possible. My life with them at home is really just about schoolwork and health and the after-school lessons just like everybody else.'
'Most of them go to a French school. My French is not very impressive, but it's good enough. Everyone in my house speaks perfect French but me. I'm getting better at understanding when they're not talking about their homework.'
'I'm now picking up things and saying, 'What did you say?'. I know the necessary swear words, so they have to be careful.'

Madonna Holds Impromptu Whitney Houston Tribute

Madonna may have not been one of the 1,500 guests at Whitney Houston's Newark, NJ funeral on Saturday, but the blonde singer still held an impromptu memorial of her own for the late star.
On Friday night, Madonna, 53, hit up NYC hotspot Mister H in the Mondrian Soho hotel, where she showed up with a large group of her background dancers.
'Madonna was sitting down, watching as her dancers showed up their skills,' a source tells Us Weekly. 'When the DJ began to spin Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody,' Madonna perked up and started lip-synching the words.'
The source adds that when the star, who donned an all-black ensemble and a black-rimmed hat, realized her private area cut off a majority of the dance floor, she was seen chatting with security to give her crew a smaller space so everyone in the club would be able to have a place to dance.
'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)' was Houston's fourth consecutive number one single and won her the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 1988 Grammy Awards.

Hyde Park concerts get go-ahead this year

The number of concerts held at Hyde Park has been cut from 13 a year to nine after complaints from residents.
Westminster Council has also decided to reduce the number of people who can attend the events, from 80,000 to 65,000, and in some cases to 50,000.
The changes come into effect next year. Hyde Park's licence to host events came under review after complaints about noise almost doubled since 2008.
A residents' group has criticised the council for not cutting decibel levels.
Mike Dunn, vice-chairman of Mayfair Residents' Association, said he felt the council's restrictions did not go far enough and did not address the problem of noise from the concerts.
He said: 'We were looking for a reduction to six and there hasn't been a reduction in the decibel levels that we were looking for. But we have received some additional conditions to improve the lot of residents.'
Some of the measures agreed at the council meeting will come into effect immediately, including trials of a new noise-reduction system along with the monitoring of sound levels.
Music with a repetitive bass beat would be subject to reassessment, the licensing sub-committee said.
Councillor Audrey Lewis, Westminster Council's Licensing chairman, said: 'We have a duty to balance the needs of local residents with the desire of concert organisers to hold events and the compromise that the committee has reached does all of this. We will monitor the additional noise control measures and continue to work with both concert organisers and residents to ensure this is an effective solution to concerns raised.'
John Probyn, chief operating officer of Live Nation, which organises concerts at the park, said: 'This is good news for the thousands of Londoners and visitors from overseas enjoying all concerts we have in place, and also the London 2012 events in Hyde Park this summer.'
London's Mayor Boris Johnson said he believed 'common sense has prevailed'.
He added: 'Westminster are right to respect their residents, but they also have a responsibility for the economic vitality of the capital overall. Large-scale music events like the Hyde Park concerts make a massive contribution to London's economy.'

Vanity Fair Hall of Fame

This huge picture of Madonna (photographed by Craig McDean in 2002) is featured in the Vanity Fair Hall of Fame on Barcelona's Paseig de Gracia.

Liz Smith: 'Too much Madonna?'

Liz Smith replies to a reader who complained about there being 'too much Madonna' in the columns she writes:

I want to address this to a reader named Briana Baran, who recently complained (quite politely) about 'Too much Madonna and Brad and Angie in your column.' Why don’t I write of others?
Let’s see, in recent days and weeks my column has featured items or lead stories on Tilda Swinton, Michael Fassbender, the director James Toback, a luncheon saluting 'The Artist,' opinions about the SAG awards, books I have read, Miss Streep (lots of Miss Streep!), Demi and Ashton, the new movie 'Haywire,' the return of Guns N’ Roses, heart disease in women, an art exhibition at the Met, 'The Borgias' and, yes...Madonna.
I’ve been writing about her since 1984 and I’ll write about her till she is 84. Considerations of talent and what are perceived as her pretensions aside, she is a big star, and not a victim of celebrity. Not gonna read about her falling in the street or being rushed to an emergency room or checking into rehab, or broke or desperate. She has been married only twice, has four kids, a gazillion dollars and a 24-year-old boyfriend. She has created herself, her fortune and her fame. I admire her. And I am hardly alone in paying attention, particularly when she is out promoting herself.
As for Brad/Angie, they are on the cover of every magazine, relentlessly discussed and covered everywhere. I should ignore them?
Whom, at my stage in life and in this time in pop culture, should I be writing about? I try to stay as current as possible, in the era of the Internet, but I continue, as always, to write about what interests me. This is my forum.
So, Briana, when you see the name Madonna or anything about Miss Jolie and her consort, simply skip that item, and read on. I hope you will find more to your pleasure.
However, there was Madonna last Friday on the front and back pages of all the New York tabloids, in advance of her Super Bowl appearance. For somebody who is supposed to be perpetually 'over,' the rest of the media still seems to like her, too. (The tepid reviews of her movie 'W.E.' were totally overshadowed.)

Police capture escapee who stalked Madonna

An inmate convicted of stalking Madonna and threatening to slash her throat was captured Friday, a week after police said the 'highly psychotic' man walked away from a mental hospital.
Robert Dewey Hoskins was taken into custody in Long Beach, where authorities said he may have fled after his escape from the Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk, about eight miles away, police said.
He had been committed there last year and was returned to the facility after his arrest. Police didn't comment about how Hoskins escaped or where he had been over the past week.
A message left with a spokeswoman for the California Department of Mental Health was not immediately returned.
Police asked for the public's help Thursday in locating Hoskins. They said he is 'highly psychotic' and can be extremely violent but didn't elaborate.
After his release from prison, Hoskins completed a stay at Atascadero State Hospital, where he was determined to be mentally disturbed, police said. He was convicted of vandalism in July 2011 and was eventually placed in the Norwalk facility.

Convicted Madonna stalker sought by police

A man who was convicted of stalking and threatening pop star Madonna in the 1990s walked away unnoticed from the California mental health facility where he was being held and remains at large, Los Angeles police said on Thursday.
Robert Dewey Hoskins, 54, was sentenced to 10 years behind bars in 1996 after being arrested for scaling a wall around the singer's home in the Hollywood Hills and threatening to slit her throat.
Madonna testified during Hoskins' trial that she had nightmares about the homeless man from Oregon after seeing him near her home in 1995. She said her bodyguard told her Hoskins claimed she was supposed to be his wife, and 'if he couldn't have me, he was going to slice my throat from ear to ear.'
While Madonna was away from her home and in Florida later that year, he scaled the perimeter wall there, jumped into her pool and was eventually shot twice by a security guard.
Upon his release from prison, Hoskins was sent to a California hospital. He was eventually let go but was arrested again in July 2011 and sent to a different health facility in the Los Angeles-area community of Norwalk.
Hoskins walked off undetected from that hospital last Friday and has not been seen since. Police describe him as highly psychotic with violent tendencies when not taking medication.

Madonna acts like a serious male artist and people hate her for it

Writer Naomi Wolf studies the theory that Madonna acts just like a serious male artist would – and people hate her for it. And with the release of W.E. Madonna is as unapologetic as ever – and it's doing wonders for the collective female psyche.

Is Madonna a self-absorbed megalomaniac with a touch of the arriviste? Probably; but so are dozens of equally brilliant male artists in other mediums, whose imperfect but worthwhile new efforts are treated with hushed awe (see the reverence accorded the solemn and often tedious Tom Ford film, A Single Man). The reliable media theme of 'Hating Madonna', whenever she steps out of her pretty-girl-pop-music bandwidth, is so consistent that it deserves scrutiny in its own right.
Why can the press just not wait to hate Madonna at these moments?
Because she must be punished, for the same reason that every woman who steps out of line must be punished. Madonna is infuriating to the mainstream commentariat when she dares to extend her range because she is acting in the same way a serious, important male artist acts. (And seizing the director's chair, that icon of phallic assertiveness, is provocative as hell.) She is taking for granted that she is allowed to stretch. This is intolerable, because Madonna has not done the sorts of things that allow women of immense talent to get 'permission' or 'to be liked'.
What is so maddening? She does what every serious male artists does. That is: she doesn't apologize for her talent or for her influence. What comes across quite profoundly when one interviews her is that she is preoccupied with her work and her gifts - just as serious male artists are, who often seem self-absorbed. She has the egoless honesty of the serious artist that reads like ego, especially in women.
Madonna is that forbidden thing, the Nietzschean creative woman.

It's a madge, madge, madge world

In this article from the NY Post Guy Oseary talks Super Bowl and fashion-police Lourdes, while Martin Solveig talks about how the album name came about:

'Madonna’s a performance artist, always has been,' says her business partner, Guy Oseary. 'She’s known for being quite detail-oriented, all the way from the sparkles on someone’s shoes to the way someone’s hair looks in the background. She doesn’t miss a beat. It’s not in Madonna’s DNA to be limited. But like everything, she likes a challenge. This is definitely not a Madonna show. It’s the Super Bowl.'
Playing on the borderline of propriety is a notoriously Madonna-esque trait. Case in point, her seductive stage crawl in a wedding dress and crucifix at the 1984 MTV Video Awards. But in the post-Janet Jackson era, the NFL has no interest in making any kind of historic statement. It’s clear that every move she makes tonight will have been vetted, despite Oseary’s sarcastic take on the situation.
'We decided to go all in the nude,' he jokes. 'Everyone. Even management. It’s a deal we all made with the NFL. They’re quite up for that this year.'
But when pressed, he says that in truth, the performance will showcase why Madonna deserves to be back on top after being out of the public eye while Gaga and a new generation of stars dominated headlines.
'Gaga’s meteoric rise has helped fuel the return of the original, as Madonna enters a sort of Streisand ‘Yentl’-meets-Cher ‘Believe’ phase,' says Village Voice columnist Michael Musto. 'Her Super Bowl appearance might actually move some product.'
If there is one thing that’s changed in Madonna’s quest for domination, it’s who she listens to. Her newest advisor is so close to the singer that they live together.
Indeed, two weeks ago her 15-year-old consultant, daughter Lourdes, a k a Lola, actually chided her mom before the New York premiere of 'W.E.' She told Madonna that a respectable film director wouldn’t wear a corset.
Madonna’s reaction? She changed into something more conservative.
No surprise there, says Oseary: 'I’m afraid to wear certain things around Lola. It’s like she takes literally five seconds to have checked you fully out. She’ll just tell me, ‘That’s not cool’ all the time.'
Her counsel extends beyond clothes, too. Producer Martin Solveig, who co-wrote 'Give Me All Your Luvin’,' says the iPods of Lola and her siblings influence their mother’s creative vision.
'You’re very sharp with music when you’re at that age, and you say things with no compromise,' Solveig says.
So how does a mother of four who has avoided drugs and drink for most of her life wind up naming her album after a non-family-friendly club drug, MDMA, also called ecstasy?
'We were having a lot of fun with the initials,' Solveig says. 'M.I.A. said, ‘You should call your album ‘MDNA’ because it would be a good abbreviation and spelling of your name.’ Then we realized that there were actually many different possibilities of understanding for those initials - the most important being the DNA of Madonna. There is of course no intention of making the promotion of drugs. Except for the harmless and pure exciting drugs: like music.'

Madonna's Super Bowl message to fans

Madonna posted sent this message to fans via her facebook page:

'Your Love and support means the world to me and will give me wings to fly through the Super Bowl!!'

Madonna: 'Ask me what you really want to know'

Madonna would rather not waste time with the pleasantries and nonsense of another junket interview. She is sitting on a sofa in a posh midtown Manhattan hotel, wearing a blue silk dress and fingerless black leather gloves, and she has just been asked, perhaps for the 50th time today, how she began making her upcoming movie.
'Not that question,' she says, putting her head in her hands. 'Anything but that question. Ask me what you really want to know.'
It’s not exactly what you expect someone will say to you two minutes into a conversation, but there’s also something refreshing about her bluntness, her impatience, what Liz Smith calls her 'lack of concern with being loved by people.' One of the interesting things about Madonna is that although she has been offending people throughout her entire career, she seems incapable of being offended by anything - except stuff that bores her.

Madonna and the Smirnoff Partnership Continues in 2012

The second chapter of the ongoing Madonna and Smirnoff partnership begins this Sunday, February 5 with the appearance of Lil Buck, the winner of the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project Dance Competition, as he joins The Material Girl's dance ensemble at the Bridgestone Super Bowl Halftime Show. For Smirnoff and its parent company Diageo this is the first of several ongoing high profile activities between the world's No. 1 artist and the world's No. 1 vodka.
The Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project - launched in 2010 - searched for the world's best new dancer among tens of thousands of entries through a global dance competition. The final dance-off competition took place at the historic Roseland Ballroom in New York City where Madonna and her choreographers selected Memphis native Lil Buck as the winner from 10 global finalists. Lil Buck's prize included an opportunity to join Madonna's dance crew.
'Joining Madonna's dance crew has been a dream come true. I have already learnt so much and cannot thank Smirnoff enough for this life-changing opportunity,' commented Lil Buck.
In a jam-packed week, Madonna also releases the debut single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' from her highly anticipated forthcoming album MDNA this Friday, February 3. The accompanying video for the single will feature Smirnoff vodka as the drink of choice in the video's bar scene. The video premieres on YouTube on February 3 and will feature on the Smirnoff Facebook from Monday, February 6. In addition 'W.E.,' the film Madonna co-wrote and directed, opens in New York and Los Angeles this Friday, February 3rd with other cities to follow later in the month.
Simon Burch, Global Brand Director for The Smirnoff Co., said, 'Smirnoff celebrates unique, one-of-a-kind experiences and the people around the world who bring these experiences to life. Partnering with Madonna has been extraordinary and we are thrilled to deepen the partnership supporting the release of MDNA and 'Give Me All Your Luvin'.''
The partnership with the Smirnoff brand and the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project is a multi-faceted agreement among Madonna, her partner Live Nation and Diageo, the parent company of The Smirnoff Co.

The Wall Street Journal interviews Madonna

The Wall Street Journal: You have a movie coming out, a fragrance, a new album and a tour - and now the Super Bowl. Was this a master plan?

Madonna: No, everything kind of converged in a bottleneck. I was always planning on making a record when I finished my film but I ended up finishing my film much later than I had expected so, because I had already scheduled time with all the producers and writers for my record, I had to multitask and work on my record at the same time I was finishing my film. And then somehow it worked out that the record was being finished right around the time the movie was coming out. Then I got talked into doing the Super Bowl.

That sounds like a lot of obligations.

I want to do everything really well. I kept saying to my manager, 'I don't want to do the Super Bowl unless I can really give it my all, and really focus all my attention on it.' And he said, 'Don't worry! There won't be any problems. You'll be able to concentrate just on the Super Bowl.' Now of course my movie is coming out during the Super Bowl so it's a little bit nerve-racking.

Catching up with Madonna

On a fall afternoon in New York's Central Park, hundreds of curious onlookers and paparazzi watched as two comely young actresses, Abbie Cornish and Andrea Riseborough, performed a scene on a park bench. When a rock band sound check across the park disrupted the scene , the movie's director trotted off to ask the band for a reprieve.
'The entirety of Central Park followed her,' said Riseborough, 'and left Abbie and I sitting on the bench, at which point we just looked at each other like, 'Well, this obviously isn't where it's happening.''
That filmmaker has held crowds in thrall every time she's left the house for the last 30 years. Now, as the co-writer and director of the romantic drama 'W.E.,' she'll attempt to draw audiences from behind the lens. After four years in relative seclusion, Madonna is returning to the public eye: 'W.E.,' her second feature film as a director, arrives in theaters Friday; she'll perform in front of more than 100 million TV viewers at the Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 5; and 'MDNA,' her first album of new material since 2008, is due in March.
The busy period is just the latest iteration of a career of perpetual self-reinvention, one that has earned her a reputation as a reliable provocateur and miner of fresh cultural territory. But many of the things Madonna has sung about, done and worn over three decades that have been incendiary — teenage pregnancy, interracial kissing, cone bras — have since become mainstream. To attempt to live one step ahead of the moment indefinitely must be exhausting.
But in an interview at her sprawling Sunset Boulevard home, Madonna said she's driven by something much more stimulating - an inquiring disposition.

Madonna criticism blown out of proportion, says David Furnish

David Furnish has said that comments he made about Madonna's Golden Globe victory have been 'blown way out of proportion'.
Furnish spoke out following Madonna's victory in the 'Best Original Song' category, which saw her track 'Masterpiece' triumph over 'Hello Hello' by his husband Sir Elton John.
The 49-year-old, who also described the W.E. director as 'embarrassing' and 'desperate', went on to advise Madonna to 'stick to what she's good at' following the release of her new movie.
However, Furnish has now responded to the widespread reaction to his comments, insisting that his criticism was born out of 'passion' for John's nominated song.
'Wow! What a tempest in a teapot. My comments regarding The Golden Globes have been blown way out of proportion,' he wrote on his Facebook page. 'My passion for our film Gnomeo & Juliet and belief in Elton's song really got my emotional juices going.'
He added: 'But I must say for the record that I do believe Madonna is a great artist, and that Elton and I wish her all the best for next week's premiere of the film W.E.'

Liz Smith on Lady Gaga, Reductive and Elton John

'IT’S REDUCTIVE.'
Those two words, uttered by Madonna, in response to ABC-TV’s Cynthia McFadden’s question about a Lady Gaga song, has 'gone viral,' as they say.
Even better, when McFadden, who certainly knows what the word means, asked Madonna to define it, M coyly said, 'Look it up!'
Apparently, a lot of people have. Now, I keep hearing the word, generally accompanied with a laugh and a reference to the pop icon. Madonna has taught us much over the years, now she’s revived a word rarely used. (Well, I’ve always said if Madonna hadn’t gone into music, she would have stayed in Michigan and become Miss Ciccone, the stern English teacher.)
It was this benign answer about Gaga that became part of the Elton John/ David Furnish’s attack on Madonna, after she won a Golden Globe for best original song on Sunday night. The song is titled 'Masterpiece' from her coming film, 'W.E.' (Elton’s effort was 'Hello, Hello' from the flop animated movie 'Gnomeo and Juliet.') Aside from ripping Madonna’s song, the pair declared - on Twitter and Facebook - that Madonna’s 'attack' on Gaga 'shows how desperate she is.'
Goodness, I didn’t get that at all. Madonna has no inclination to trash Gaga. But she is certainly within her rights to imply, gently, that Lady G. has appropriated some aspects of her image, sound and message. Music critics were the first, in fact, to point out the similarities between Gaga’s 'Born This Way' and M’s 'Express Yourself.'
Elton John, who has been a star since 1970, feels he has earned the right to be perennially cranky and opinionated. Fine. And he does wonderful charity work.
But I think Madonna, who has been a star since 1983, has earned the right to answer a question honestly, from her point of view. Or to accept an award, if she wins one.
Elton has had a bee in his bonnet about Madonna for years. At various times he has criticized her singing, dancing, her right to be a star, even. She has rarely responded.
In this case, however, it is Elton who appears to be 'desperate.' Back in the day, Madonna could be ungracious and careless in her remarks, but I never recall her attacking another performer in this manner, or publicly declaring she should have won an award instead of somebody else. (Perhaps she learned her lesson when, in the midst of a wave of positive reviews and publicity for 'Evita' - and a Golden Globe win - she said she thought she deserved to be nominated for an Oscar, too. The Academy was not amused.)
The truth is, most of the public has never heard either Elton or Madonna’s song. Why carry on so?
Oh, 'reductive?' It means something is the same, only less.
