Music Intro for April 8, 2015 Dear Gossips, Yesterday was supposed to be a big day for Madonna as the Ghosttown video was scheduled to drop at 1pm. I set the alarm. I couldn’t wait to see it after wrapping The Social at 2pm. Turns out I wasn’t missing anything. Because Meerkat, the app By Lainey • Apr 08, 2015 09:21 am
Music Tidal’s Blank Space Yesterday was the launch of a new Jay Z-backed music streaming service, Tidal. It started with a social media takeover (which I’ll get to) and then a press conference. An awkward as hell press conference; I got the sweats watching it. Why was the crowd hollering, who did they By Maria • Mar 31, 2015 10:32 am
BFFs Taylor Swift: wins more, collects more Taylor Swift tried to clarify for us that it’s not “Starbucks lovers” in Blank Space last night at the iHeartRadio Music Awards when she won for Best Lyrics but it all just ended up sounding like promotion for her upcoming tour. Right? Every time she was on stage, speaking, By Lainey • Mar 30, 2015 09:39 am
Music Strike A Pose Iain, my friend and (unofficial) Madonna archivist, reminded me this morning… It’s the 25th anniversary of Madonna’s Vogue. 25 years ago today, Madonna released one of her most iconic songs. It’s a long list of iconic songs. But if you’re making a list of iconic Madonna By Lainey • Mar 20, 2015 11:48 am
Maple Leaf Madonna will wait for Justin Bieber If Madonna thinks he’s hot, are you still giving me sh-t when I say I think he’s hot? Probably. But I’m telling you, if you just look at him and you don’t think about WHO HE IS, he’s hot. No? Fine. We will agree to By Lainey • Mar 18, 2015 03:57 pm
Music Madonna on Howard Stern Like many of you, I was waiting all week for this. Some of you wondered about the Gwyneth question, whether or not Howard would go there. As I told my friend (and top Madonna scholar) Iain, Howard didn’t ask G about M, so there was no way he was By Lainey • Mar 12, 2015 10:02 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media Tuesday, March 10, 2015 Zoolander has already broken the internet today – click here to read Lainey’s post from earlier. The thing that I love about Zoolander is I don’t think all of these people are in on the joke. Remove Owen and Ben’s famous faces and this could be a legit By Maria • Mar 10, 2015 03:22 pm
Smutty Roundup Smutty Roundup: Madonna’s tour, Nick in blue, and Robin Thicke is still gross Madonna was in Milan yesterday to promote Rebel Heart in a red dress cinched at the waist with maybe not the most flattering shoes. And, to no one’s surprise, there will be a tour. So far 35 cities have been announced. Click here for dates and locations. You know By Lainey • Mar 02, 2015 04:08 pm
Music Madonna after the fall Madonna looked great last night in London, seen here leaving her party at a private members club. She’s always had the most beautiful eyes. So about that fall at the BRITs, she was on Jonathan Ross yesterday talking about the performance. When he wanted to replay it for her, By Lainey • Feb 27, 2015 10:08 am
Music Madonna falls It’s been 20 years since Madonna last performed at the BRIT Awards. So there was a lot of buildup ahead of her performance. By now I’m sure you’ve heard that she fell. She couldn’t get her cloak untied in time and the dancers pulled and she By Lainey • Feb 26, 2015 11:25 am
Madonna Intro for February 25, 2015 Dear Gossips, Madonna will be performing at the BRIT Awards tonight. She also covers the new issue of Rolling Stone which leaked online yesterday. That’s a great red lip. And a really great red nail with gold accent. And the eyeliner is perfect. So are the eyebrows. Anyway, as By Lainey • Feb 25, 2015 10:46 am
Grammy Awards 2015 Madonna’s Grammys squatting To me, Madonna looked stiff last night at the Grammys. There was no fluidity in her movements. My friend Iain, the most ardent Madonna fan I know, even he called her performance “cautious”, wishing she would just let go. That’s about as critical as it gets from Iain on By Lainey • Feb 09, 2015 07:21 am
Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for February 6, 2015 Dear Gossips, Wednesday was the Start of Spring on the Chinese calendar meaning it’s now officially the Year of the Goat/Sheep (even though Chinese New Year is on February 19th).

Music Madonna Maleficent This was released on SnapChat today so I don’t know how long it’ll be before this video gets taken down. I suggest you watch it right away… It’s new Madonna. The song is Living For Love. Not the worst recent song we’ve heard from her. But By Lainey • Feb 05, 2015 05:04 pm
Bad Style Madonna for Versace but Heidi first Madonna fronts the new Versace Spring/Summer 2015 campaign. She’s had a good relationship with the brand for a while now. Looks good, right? I mean I don’t know how “realistic” it is but since when did we expect realism from fashion ads anyway? Of the collaboration, Madonna By Lainey • Dec 04, 2014 01:19 pm
Music Madonna’s Rebel Heart Parts of Rebel Heart, a new song from Madonna, leaked last night. Alan just sent me a link to it. Click here to listen. People are complaining about the vocals. They’re rough right now but this is probably a rough cut. To me this is not what’s offensive. By Lainey • Nov 28, 2014 01:19 pm
