Earlier this week, it was reported that Madonna was spending $5 million of her own money on her Billboard Awards performance. As we saw last night, the money was for the tech – several Madonna holograms appeared alongside the “real” Madonna before bursting into digital confetti and…well…that’s Madonna, she’s always trying to try something new. Full Story

As expected, Madonna dropped her new single, “Medellin” ft Maluma, yesterday ahead of the June 14th release of her next album Madame X, her first since 2015’s Rebel Heart.  “Medellin” is not EDM, a relief. My friend Brian calls it “La Isla Bonita part 2”. Full Story

All week people have been processing Apesh-t, considering its academic value, analyzing its art history references, analyzing its social messaging. Full Story

 I’m just going to say it.    We would not be here if it weren’t for Madonna.    The theme is being referred to as ‘Heavenly Bodies’, and the dress code was also tongue-in-cheek-ishly ‘Sunday Best’, but the official theme is “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. Full Story

Madonna’s been in New York this week promoting her skin line, MDNA. MDNA has actually been available overseas for a while but she just launched at Barneys which is why, now that American outlets have access to it, she’s been getting so much coverage. Full Story
