Madonna wanted for 'The Voice UK'

Madonna is reportedly being lined up to perform on The Voice UK.
Producers are trying to get the 'Hung Up' singer on an upcoming Sunday night results show in a bid to attract record ratings, the Daily Star Sunday reports.
'Getting Madge on to sing is bound to pull in the viewers. You don't get much bigger than her - she's a living legend,' a source told the paper.
'The show has regularly been getting ratings of over ten million. Having Madonna, plus the all-important results, could push it past the 12 million mark.'
'X Factor's finest hour was getting Britney Spears on - but there's no doubt Madonna is a much bigger name. Simon Cowell will be furious if The Voice upstages him with a massive guest performer like Madonna in its first series.'

UK TV: 'Daybreak/Lorraine' Interview

If you missed Madonna's only UK TV interview with Dan Wootton on 'Daybreak' and 'Lorraine' this morning you can catch up with it here.

UK TV: 'Daybreak/Lorraine' Interview Advert

Here is the advert that is being broadcast on ITV tonight advertising Madonna-Morning on 'Daybreak' and 'Lorraine' tomorrow morning between 6:00am-9.30am.

Madonna: I need to be a 'tougher' mom

After 15-year-old daughter Lourdes was photographed smoking a cigarette, Madonna says she might have to get more strict with her kids.
The singer and single mom, who's cultivated an image as a parental disciplinarian, addresses the photo in an interview on NBC's Rock Center With Brian Williams, airing Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET. The Today show ran a teaser of the sitdown (see video below).
When asked for her reaction to Lourdes' smoking shot, Madonna refers to herself in the third person: 'She wasn't very happy.'
She says she thinks she's a tough parent, 'but honestly, I don't think I'm as tough as I should be. I think I need to be maybe tougher. It's hard - every day is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking I'm not very fond of - for anyone. I don't approve of anyone smoking cigarettes, most of all my daughter.'
Then correspondent Harry Smith brings up a music video of Madonna, ahem, smoking, to which she responds: 'I don't smoke. That's just an accessory, Harry. There's a difference. (Lourdes) smoked that cigarette before I did that video!'
Another hot topic in the interview: downward sales of her latest album, MDNA, a week after hitting No. 1 on Billboard.
'It's hard to be No. 1. It's hard to sell records. It's a lot of competition, and I was extremely elated,' she says of MDNA's initial sales triumph.

Madonna named in the Pop Powerlist

Set to be unveiled in an upcoming show called Pop Powerlist, researchers have calculated the 50 most powerful people in pop music, devising an algorithm that considered an artist’s current assets (i.e. their wealth; social media fan base), alongside their salience (the degree to which they are in demand: measured by recent airplay, media and word-of-mouth buzz, commercial endorsements, awards and web search interest).
Adele topped the list after an unstoppable year that saw her take home six Grammys and two Brits. Jessie J takes second place thanks to her relentless promotional tour, handful of endorsements and high record sales and media plays, coupled with some 3.4million followers on Twitters – while Rihanna is in third thanks to a long series of number ones and some very successful duets.
The research shows the power of the female pop icon in the 21st century, with Madonna, Cheryl Cole, Cher Lloyd and Pixie Lott joining the other girls in the top ten.

The cream of the pop crop is as follows:

10. Pixie Lott
9. Cher Lloyd
8. Jay-Z
7. Cheryl Cole
6. One Direction
5. Ed Sheeran
4. Madonna
3. Rihanna
2. Jessie J
1. Adele

The Pop Powerlist series will air on Monday April 9 at 12.00pm when the full top 50 will be revealed in a two-hour show on 4Music (Freeview 18, Sky 360, Virgin 330).

Madonna's interview for Ukrainian TV

On the day W.E. premiered in New York City, Madonna taped an exclusive interview for Ukrainian TV. In the video snippet below, the journalist, Kate Osadcha, presents Madonna with a Ukrainian shawl. Madonna accepted it as opposed to hydrangeas, which were also presented to her by journalist from the same channel.

'I flew across the globe to be in this chair. And I have a gift for you from Ukraine,' said Kate Osadcha, handing a present to the singer.
'Wow!' said a surprised Madonna.
'This is a real Ukrainian shawl. You won't find a such one In New York. It can be worn either on head or shoulders,' Kate Osadcha added.

Kate Osadcha shared some details of the meeting Madonna the other day:

'Madonna, like all stars, is very professional. She was very friendly, and while the cameras and sound were setting up, we were able to talk behind the scenes. She asked how her good friend Eugene Gutz is known in Ukraine [he performed with Madonna on Live Earth and played a role in her film 'Filth and Wisdom']. In fact, he had a concert in Kiev at this time. And I told Madonna that his concerts had been sold out. She was very glad about that.
At the moment when I was introduced by her assistant, he said that I was a journalist from Russia, I've corrected him and said I was from Ukraine, and Madonna said, 'Don't get confused, it's been a long time that they have been two different states.'

Preview Clips from The Graham Norton Show

The BBC have released three preview clips from tonights broadcast of The Graham Norton Show - talking about true love, her new album and Lady Gaga.

UK Television: The Graham Norton Show

Don't forget to watch Madonna's appearance on The Graham Norton Show tonight (Friday 13 January) on BBC One at 10:35pm-11:20pm - the show will also be broadcast on BBC America tomorrow.

Madonna chatted about W.E., her love life, marriage, how her children don't listen to her, hackers, her new album and tried to avoid answering questions about Lady Gaga. W.E. stars Andrea Riseborough and James Darcy were also on the show.

madonnalicious attended the taping and is wondering what parts of the interview will actually make the final cut of the show! The show was taped 'as live' and Madonna was in the studio for about 90 minutes, this has to be cut down to a 45 minute show (including musical guest Emile Sande).

Here is our picture of the queue of fans outside The London Studios, waiting to be checked-in and given a coloured wristband (orange, purple or yellow).

Here is our sneaky picture of the set, swiftly taken before Madonna arrived!

Madonna on Men, Missing ‘Certain Things’ About Marriage

Notoriously private Madonna opened up about dating a man less than half her age in a rare interview - but not without a putting up a fight.
'Aren’t people tired of that subject?' she quipped to 'Nightline' anchor Cynthia McFadden in an exclusive with ABC News.
Of course not.
It’s been three years since Madonna’s highly publicized divorce from British director Guy Richie, and the 53-year-old star has caught flack for dating younger men. Her current flame is 24-year-old French dancer Brahim Zaibat, but prior to that she dated Brazilian model Jesus Luz, now also 24.
'I didn’t choose to, you know, I didn’t, like, write down on a piece of paper I’m now going to have a relationship with a younger man,' Madonna told McFadden. 'That’s just what happened. You see, that’s the romantic in me. I just met someone that I cared for, and this happened to be his age.'
But when asked what she found appealing about younger man, the Material Girl tried to shut down the line of questioning with, 'I don’t feel comfortable with this conversation.'
McFadden pressed Madonna about her own experience with love, a central theme to the pop icon’s upcoming film, 'W.E.,' which explores the relationship between commoner Wallis Simpson and Britain’s King Edward VIII.

Madonna revealed she wants a partner in life and that there were even 'certain things' she missed about being married, such as 'being a part of a family unit' and 'not having to make all the decisions on my own.'
'I don’t want to live my life on my own,' she said. 'I love being a mother. My children fill me up in many ways, and inspire me in many ways, but I need a partner in my life and I think most people feel that way. I’ve never really lived a conventional life, so I think it’s quite foolish for me or anyone else to start thinking that I am going to start making conventional choices.'
Putting family first, one of the most important things Madonna said she looks for in a partner is someone whom her two biological children, Lourdes, 15, and Rocco, 11, and her two adopted children, David Banda and Mercy James, both 6, will respect.
'Someone who feels a connection with my children and respects the idea that they have to be a role model as well,' Madonna said. 'It’s a lot to live up to.'
As for her current relationship with Zaibat, Madonna claimed she is actually the low-maintenance 'easy' one between the two of them.
'I go home and I wash my face and I put on my sweatpants and I lay down on the bed and I say, ‘oh, please rub my feet,’ and you know, he says, ‘no, you rub my feet,’' Madonna said. 'So, you know, behind the curtain, I’m just like everybody else.'

It's the first time the international superstar has appeared on Graham's Friday night show and she'll be joining actors Andrea Riseborough and James D’Arcy on the sofa to chat about W.E., a romantic period drama produced by Madonna that focuses on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson, which led to Edward abdicating the crown.
Graham, of course, is beyond excited to be quizzing such a megastar. 'This is my real Christmas present,' he says. 'I may have to retire, but that's not a promise!'

The 24-year-old admits she has never met a number of her heroes, despite the fact that many of them have admitted to loving Glee. Yet Lea isn’t going to rush into it as she feels it could be disastrous for her.
'I haven’t [come face-to-face with them], but I’ve thoroughly embarrassed myself in front of my idols that I have met, so I’m fine with keeping them far away,' she laughed.
