Madonna: I'd Be Invited to Meet Obama If I Were Married to Jay Z — The Complete 25 Things You Don't Know About Me

Living for this! As teased last week, the Queen of Pop, 56, recently chatted with Us Weekly's Entertainment Director Ian Drew for an extended interview about her legacy, her romantic past, her kids, her famous friends (including her crush, Drake!) and much, much more. Read this very special edition of 25 Things You Don't Know About Me now!

1. My all-time favorite Madonna song is “Bitch I’m Madonna” — naturally. And my least favorite is “Material Girl.” I never want to hear it again!

2. My favorite city is Rome. I’s so beautiful. The light is soothing and calming to me, and the architecture is splendid and the food is incredible. I totally love it.

3. I can’t stand mushrooms. Or escargot. Yuck! It’s like snot. Expensive snot.

4. The person I idolize most is Paul Farmer. He’s a doctor and activist who rebuilt the health-care system in Haiti even before the 2010 earthquake. He’s done the same in Rwanda.

5. The last time I went grocery shopping was a year ago.

6. I miss absolutely nothing about growing up in Michigan. Nothing at all.

7. The person I most want to meet is President Obama. When the heck am I going to meet him? He just needs to invite me to the White House already. He probably thinks I’m too shocking to be there. I’m serious. If I was a little bit more demure…or if I was just married to Jay Z. Hey, if Jay would only take me as his second wife, then I’d score an invitation.

8. The one thing I’d never be caught dead wearing is a fur bikini.

9. My happiest moments were when my children [Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 14, David, 9, and Mercy, 9] were born and when I got married both times [to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie].

10. My favorite part of my body is my eyes. My least is my dancer’s feet. They are pretty disgusting.

11. I have found marriages don’t last if you share bathrooms. The best thing about being single is there’s no one to throw out of the bathroom when I want privacy.

12. The thing I miss least about marriage is being called “the wife.” The worst.

13. My most fattening indulgence is either pizza or french fries. Or potato chips, actually. Love them all.

14. The last time I was starstruck was when [French actor] Alain Delon called me while I was in Copenhagen during my last tour. I was trying to get him to do an onstage cameo during a small show in Paris. I was shaking because I love him so much! I never met the dude and only knew him from movies. He was my ridiculous teenage crush.

15. I don’t really watch TV. I only like two shows — True Detective and an Irish series called The Fall - and I’m not embarrassed about them. Many people say, “The Fall with Jamie Dornan,” but I say, “The Fall with Gillian Anderson.” She’s so good.

16. The lifelong ambition I still want to fulfill is to go on a dream date with Drake — and only kiss him.

17. The most embarrassing moment of my life was falling off stage — let me rephrase that, being choked off the stage by two little Japanese girls — at the 2015 Brit Awards. Extremely embarrassing!

18. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen was my daughter [Lourdes] playing the ukulele and singing “La Vie en Rose” for me.

19. My secret beauty ritual is to put ice on my eyes every morning. Ice, ice baby.

20. Speaking of, if I were trapped on a desert island with either [ex-boyfriend] Vanilla Ice or Dennis Rodman, I would pick Dennis. He has a better sense of humor. Plus, he could always wear my clothes.

21. The quality I most loathe in people is making assumptions. Not doing research, investigating or asking questions and just assuming something. Oh, that drives me bonkers. I also can’t stand when I’m talking to someone and they’re texting. My kids will do it! It drives me up the wall. I always put my hand on their phones and ruin whatever they’re doing.

22. I can’t say what my worst date was, but there have been many. I’m a woman of the world, baby. One nonnegotiable attribute in a lover: He must not ever want to be away from me for more than two weeks at a time.

23. I have major claustrophobia. I don’t like being stuck in small, enclosed spaces or in crowds. They freak me out.

24. My ideal day off is spent lying in bed all day — sleeping for a few hours, then waking up and watching old movies, like my favorite, Breathless. I eat in bed, have my children come hang out with me, and then I fall back asleep. I never leave the bedroom.

25. My favorite memories of Michael Jackson were getting him to let down his guard. He was so shy. The time I succeeded most was after I got him drunk at the Ivy in Beverly Hills. I was driving my Mercedes and dared him to throw his sunglasses out the window. We couldn’t stop laughing.

Maripol: 'Did I Discover Madonna? She Discovered Me!'

A new exhibition in Dundee celebrates the work of Maripol, a pioneering photographer and stylist. She talks about selfies, hanging out with Madonna and Cher in 1980s New York, and why she still loves Polaroids

If you’ve never heard of Maripol, you will definitely have seen her work. The stylist, who also counts herself as a photographer, designer and film producer, was responsible for creating Madonna’s look during her bangle-tastic bridesmaid Like a Virgin era. She also influenced the style of Grace Jones, Debbie Harry and Cher, as well as being art director for the Italian fashion brand Fiorucci in the early 1980s.

Now, Dundee Contemporary Arts is showing the first major UK exhibition of her work, from a selection of the thousands of Polaroids that document her life to her fashion designs, including her rubber bracelets and jumpsuits. “It’s a very small-scale retrospective”, the 60-year-old says from her home in New York, where she moved from her native France in the 1970s. After moving downtown with her boyfriend, the photographer Edo Bertoglio (whom she had moved from Paris to be with), the pair found a run-down loft space and started to throw parties and photograph friends there. Maripol would style them with jewellery she had designed herself because she was unable to find anything she liked. These friends included Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and, of course, Madonna, whom she met on a night out at Roxy – Madonna had admired her bra.

 

It sounds blissful, a too-good-to-be-true time when a creative couple could have a studio in the centre of a city and hang out with art stars. How does it make her feel that New York and London, once the creative capitals of the world, are now too expensive for young artists? “I am so glad you’ve brought this up. It makes me mad. Kids today are being pushed further and further from the city – artists are being made to move out of areas they’ve regenerated”.

As someone who has influenced popular culture immensely, but without their own name becoming mainstream, it is clearly a topic close to her heart. So how does she feel now that underground ideas can turn mainstream in a matter of moments? She laughs. “Andy Warhol said that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes, but with social media, everyone is famous all of the time. Especially on Instagram!” Is she on it? “I resisted for many years”, she sighs, “but my son convinced me to go on it. Then he shouts at me for putting up too many pictures and says that’s for Facebook. But I am not going to let anyone dictate what my life is about”.

 

Maripol practically invented the selfie, using her Polaroid camera. “I would take Polaroid selfies to express myself: my sorrows, my joys, my sexiness, my love. I didn’t scan them for 30 years. No one ever saw them for that long”. Most recently, her Polaroids have been referenced on the cover of Taylor Swift’s 1989 album, released last year – although Swift used a modern photograph edited to look like a Polaroid. Polaroid film can be hard to find, and although Maripol has her own source, “the colours and the emulsions aren’t the same”.

Does she still take photographs as actively as ever? “In 2000, I did a series of portraits, maybe 160. They have never been shown. All black and white – I called in my address book. Debbie Harry came back, 20 years after the first time I shot her. People gathered in my studio, people who hadn’t seen each other for years. No hair, no makeup, there was just a pile of clothes in case someone needed something”.

She is probably best known for working with Madonna, and some say she discovered her. “She wouldn’t like that! Let’s put it like this: she discovered me”, she laughs. “She would come over when she was doing Desperately Seeking Susan and say she didn’t like the costumes. I would say: ‘You’re a singer! You have to look like you.’ I insisted she keep her jewellery, the crosses and stuff. That’s what she was projecting as an image at that moment”. They stopped working together after her Like A Virgin look.

After a brief bankruptcy spell, she started to work with Cher, who had come to her loft to buy some jewellery. She was the art director on the video for Cher’s 1995 hit, Walking In Memphis. So which discipline does she prefer – jewellery, styling or photography? “That’s such an existential question. I went back to jewellery a few years ago – I like doing things where my intellect meets my hand, something manual. But I love taking Polaroids and I like making films. I made one a few years ago called The Message about Keith Haring – I love going back and interviewing people”.

In the 1980s she produced Downtown 81, documenting the downtown scene, and particularly focusing on Basquiat. It was written by Warhol Factory member and founding editor of Interview magazine Glenn O’Brien, and, due to money issues, was only released in 2001. “It’s becoming a cult film, you know, so many kids want to know about the generations before them. When I was growing up in the 1970s, I wanted to know about the 1960s. The 1960s were important; they brought the TV into everyone’s homes. You had the first music videos, and all these amazing women: Cher, Tina Turner and Diana Ross”.

 

As someone who has inspired and shaped the creative identity of so many women over the past 30 years, how does she feel about today’s identikit pop stars? “Everything is homogenised”, she complains. “Neighbourhoods, music, styling. Everything is sterilised. That’s not what we had. We didn’t have fancy fashion houses, Chanel didn’t have Karl Lagerfeld, Gucci and Chanel were for rich old women on Madison Avenue. We did with what we had”.

Rebel Heart: Créditos, Compositores

Como veis, la cantidad de gente que ha trabajado en el álbum es... interminable . La "traducción" de sus nombres reales por los artísticos es la siguiente :

Thomas Wesley Pentz = Diplo
Maureen McDonald = MoZella
Uzoechi Emenike = MNEK
Tim Bergling = Avicii
Larry Griffin Jr. = Symbolyc One
Chancelor Bennett = Chance The Rapper
Dacoury Natche = DJ Dahi
Michael Tucker = Blood Diamonds
Paloma Stoecker = Delilah
Natalia Cappuccini = Natalia Kills

Otro detalle que está llamando la atención de las ediciones físicas es que el año de copyright figura como 2014 y no 2015. Esto es porque las primeras canciones (las seis primeras del pre-order) salieron en diciembre...de 2014. No es la primera vez que pasa, ya en "Like A Prayer" algunos temas tenían copyright de 1988, aunque el álbum saliese a la venta el año siguiente.

Por último, la reaparición del logo de Maverick se debe a que Guy Oseary ha recuperado la marca (inactiva como discográfica desde hace ya unos años) para su nueva empresa donde pretende aglutinar a los mánagers de las superestrellas. Maverick resucita así, pero no como sello, sino en la parte de management.

El Misterio AVICII: ¡Madonna habla!

Una de las grandes incógnitas de "Rebel Heart" es qué pasó con Avicii para que Madonna haya borrado prácticamente cualquier rastro del productor en las versiones finales de las canciones (rastro que sí estaba presente en muchas de las demos, sobre todo en el tema título).

Hasta ahora M. se había excusado en que no quería trabajar con el productor sueco, sino con su equipo de compositores, pero ahora, en una nueva entrevista para el "Edge Boston", se suelta un poco más:

"No era mi intención acabar trabajando con tantos productores diferentes en el disco. Antes de nada, no sabía que Avicii iba a tener una enfermedad que pondría en peligro su vida y que desaparecería. Así que muchas de las canciones que compuse con él o con su equipo me las tuve que llevar con otros productores para poder terminarlas".

Finalmente podemos olvidarnos de malos rollos ni historias para no dormir. Avicii es cierto que empezó a tener problemas de salud poco después de empezar a trabajar con Madonna y tuvo que ser hospitalizado en varios momentos durante 2014. Ella optó por tomar una solución práctica y acabar los temas con otros productores, pero al entrar Diplo y otros talentos la cosa se fue alargando hasta tener el resultado que conocemos hoy.

 

Channeling Ginger Rogers

Madonna commented on her Instagram about the beautiful Schiaparelli dress she wore on her second appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week – a Fall 2014 piece inspired to one of the costumes of the 1938 movie Carefree starring Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire and strikingly fitting the Rebel Heart theme.

Nuevo Single "Ghosttown"

"Ghosttown" es el segundo single de "Rebel Heart".

Madonna ha cantado la canción en muchas de las paradas de la promo televisiva del álbum y este fin de semana está grabando el vídeo para la canción en Los Angeles.

¿Qué se sabe hasta el momento?

- El single se envió a radios el 13 de marzo y, aunque de momento la respuesta ha sido tímida , ha tenido un principio prometedor en airplay.
- El director del vídeo es Jonas Akerlund, antiguo colaborador en vídeos como "Ray Of Light", "Music", "American Life " y "Celebration".
- El actor Terrence Howard, de la serie televisiva "Empire", será el co-protagonista y acompañante de Madonna en el vídeo. Curiosamente, es la BSO de "Empire", fenómeno televisivo de la temporada en EE.UU., la que le ha quitado el #1 en USA a "Rebel Heart".
- Se espera que el vídeo, al igual que la letra de la canción, tenga una temática apocalíptica. Hoy mismo Madonna ha subido la imagen que veis debajo, con la cara manchada y la frase "es el fin del mundo, chica".
- Aunque no hay confirmación oficial, el vídeo podría estrenarse alrededor de mediados de abril.
