Madonna’s Medellin

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”. Indeed, Madonna is going

Madonna: Madame X

I was over at my friend Iain’s the other night and whenever Iain and I get together, Madonna dominates our conversation. Iain has a PhD in Madonna. He went to see her last tour, Rebel Heart, something like 14 times all around the world. It’s been a quiet

Madonna and Lady Gaga

As you know, for the past couple of months, Lady Gaga has been promoting her very good work in A Star is Born and campaigning for an Oscar. As you may have heard, during all of that promotion, she’s been repeating the thing about the 100 people in a

Madonna tributes Madonna

I don’t need to define “caucacity” for some of you. I feel like I don’t need to define it at all because what Madonna did last night on the VMA stage was such an egregious act of caucacity, it really speaks for itself in this context but if

Intro for August 16, 2018

Dear Gossips, Madonna is 60 years old today. I will probably spend it reading as many retrospectives as I can about her –her influences, her controversies, her provocations, her legacy. Because while Madonna is often maddening, she is undeniably an icon and there would be no pop culture, the way

Met Gala 2018

Madonna: the Met Gala’s Best Obvious Icon

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”. Fashion wouldn’

Skincare by Madonna

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. There’s a face

Tupac's letter to Madonna

"Tupac Broke Up With Madonna Because She's White!" That's the headline many outlets are going with to describe a recently unearthed letter written by Tupac to Madonna in 1995 about their breakup. While that statement may be accurate in theory, it's a

Diva on Diva crime

An excellent way to start the day – Girl Sh-t! Patti LuPone was on Watch What Happens Live this week. And Andy Cohen teed up a phone call from an audience member asking Patti about Madonna. First, a note here to those unfamiliar with Patti LuPone – she’s a f-cking standard,

Madonna & Paris Jackson: the missing MET moment

Maybe the moment has happened already and I just haven’t caught up to it yet. There’s so much on social media it’s been impossible to keep writing and see every possible photo, every Instagram story, every Snapchat video. As it is, I just sent Duana a GLORIOUS
