With the release of the Celebration album and single and the coming release of the Sticky and Sweet tour on dvd it would seem logical for any artist to take a pause and enjoy the success but that doesn't happen to Madonna, who is working on more releases for her fans to enjoy.
First of all there's Revolver, the second new track on her greatest hits album that, as previously reported by MadonnaTribe a while back, will be the second single release off the compilation. The news is that lots of remixers have been contacted to remix the song and among them we find Tracy Young, David Guetta and Paul Van Dyk.
And Guetta will not only give his own treatment to the second single, because he's also working on a remix for Celebration together with Akon.
But for die hard fans the most exciting news regarding her music is that for Christmas we'll also get brand new house remixes of two of her biggest classics: Holiday and Into The Groove!
Meanwhile Madonna will also be busy with another fashion campaign. She will team up again with photographer Steven Klein next month for the new Dolce & Gabbana campaign, but the cool thing is that this time she will model not for the women's collection but for the men's! We are sure Madonna and Klein will come up with some great ideas for this one!
That's it for now and stay tuned to MadonnaTribe.com, the home of Madonna fans that is your number one source for Madonna news!

In Malawi, a gay couple, Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, was sentenced to 14 years in prison on the charge of “unnatural acts and gross indecency.” Of course, Madonna has nothing to do with it and it would be ridiculous to expect her to interfere with local laws just because of the charity projects she has created. We can only hope that tolerance will be among the teachings at the girl academy she’s building…

Because he has been beating up photographers since his marriage with Madonna, Sean Penn was sentenced to three years of informal probation, ordered to perform 300 hours of community service and was also ordered to undergo 36 hours of anger management counseling. www.absolumentmadonna.fr

Graham Norton has described Madonna as the 'Holy Grail' of chatshow guests. The presenter said he wants the iconic singer on his show to such an extent that he would devote an entire programme to her. Norton, who is also currently hosting BBC One's Over The Rainbow, told What's On TV: 'If we're on the air long enough, hopefully there will come a day when she'll come on. Essentially it's because I'd like to meet her, it's as simple as that. I've never met her and I'd like to.' 'In her case I think you'd do a special. I think you'd have to do a special just with her, maybe with other people along the way but it would be the Madonna show. If Glee can give up their show for her then I'm sure I can.' Recent guests on The Graham Norton Show have included Jennifer Lopez and John Cleese.

The 17 May issue of UK magazine New! featured this 'editors comment' about Madonna's photographs for Interview magazine - click on the article to enlarge.
Stars including Madonna, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz have offered up their best dating advice for a new book designed to help men find girlfriends and keep them happy. The relationship manual, titled That's What SHE Said: Women Reveal What Men Really Need to Know, has been compiled by Punk'd producer T.J. Jefferson and features a foreword from the prank TV show's star Ashton Kutcher. Kutcher's wife, Demi Moore, has contributed and doles out her own tips, urging men not to be selfish in bed or in matters of love. Moore writes, 'If you want to get our clothes off focus on what you're giving, not on what you can get! You may be able to score once - but we can smell the stink of selfish desires a mile away and are not interested. Women are caretakers by nature, don't take it for granted. The romance we are looking for comes from being appreciated.' Madonna wants men to let their woman take charge - and advises them to dole out plenty of compliments. She explains, 'Women are here to smash man's ego, plain and simple. Accept this and life will be better. Also women like it when men tell them they look nice. If you want more than that you will have to pay for it.' The book's author Jefferson tells Fox News, 'It's a fun read, but you can find something in there that can really help your relationship and stop you from sleeping on the couch that night. You've got people like Madonna giving advice in the book, but then you've got housewives in the Midwest and teachers and nurses. It might be hard for someone to relate to what Madonna is saying, but most of us can relate to everyday people, people that aren't famous and aren't in the spotlight - they need to be heard as well.'

It’s official: The music of Madonna will be coming back to “Glee.”
Series head honcho Ryan Murphy confirmed the rumors on Monday at the Peabody Awards in New York City.
“We are, we’re doing a sequel to the Madonna (episode),” he told Access Hollywood.

A week ago we were mentioning the possibility of a new Madonna photoshoot for Interview Magazine…
Well, Madonna is on the cover of the May issue of Interview which includes an incredible chat with Gus Van Sant about her early career, his movie ‘Milk’ and her involvment in Malawi, but also an incredible portfolio that will include more than a dozen brand new and edgy photographs by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Alas & Piggot are fashion photographers strongly known for their portraits of sophisticated, powerful women. They have worked with celebrities of the caliber of Madonna for the 2002 POP Magazine issue, but also with Björk, Scarlett Johansson, Charlotte Rampling, Kylie Minogue, Victoria Beckham and many more.
We can also confirm that the magazine’s website is set to include a behind the scenes feature film to give Madonna’s fans an inside look at the making of.
“You can’t at this point, do holograms. … This is what happened at the Grammys,” Albarn explained to MTV. “We opened the Grammys – on television it looked great – but we had an invisible film pulled across our stage, and you project onto that, and put smoke behind it – it’s a Victorian technology, actually.
“So Madonna manages to come and gate-crash our idea, as people like Madonna do, because that’s why they’re so deep. … She gate-crashed our idea, so we couldn’t play with any bass or any sound, because it would vibrate [the film] so it was really quiet.
“So we open the Grammys, but no one could hear us, in this huge, great arena, and we were crestfallen at that moment. And I’m trying to get Bono to move, because his huge, great Stetson is obscuring my view. And then our song stops, and she appears on the other side of the stage, with her inflated-ABBA riff, at full volume, and the place just goes insane. And at [that] point, I just thought, ‘You know what? Sometimes, just keep it simple.’”
Madonna.com published a fantastic comment by Madonna herself, about the “Power of Madonna” Glee EP which has debuted at #1 at this week’s Billboard 200 album charts.
“I’m thrilled to be Number One.. It’s such an honor. It makes me want to go back into the studio and write more songs.”
This quote confirms what we’ve been saying on AbMad: Contrary to rumours, Madonna hasn’t been recording any new material for now!

In a previous short news, we mentioned the new documentary on Jean-Michel Basquiat, in which his old girlfriend had revealed how she had to physically fight with Madonna over Basquiat, and then how he actually dedicated space in a painting to the catfight. Have a look at the painting in question…
After the success of the Madonna episode, Jane Lynch is hoping for more Madonna. A new tribute episode each year, even.
You got called out by Madonna? Jane Lynch: That was a big moment. Chris Colfer, who also got called out by Madonna, came over to me, shaking, with his phone and said “read this”, and we held each other tenderly. www.absolumentmadonna.fr
Ryan did confirm last weekend. He said “Hopefully there will be a second Madonna episode next year.” Jane Lynch: That would be great! We just scratched the surface with her. We’ve not yet begun to pay homage to madonna.
I think maybe one Madonna episode each year. Jane Lynch: Oh, absolutely. It will always be the best episode of the year. I’m sure!
10 seasons of Glee, 10 Madonna episodes. Jane Lynch: I love it. Yes!
From the Ask Billboard column:
Hi Gary,
With "Glee: the Music, the Power of Madonna" at No. 1 on this week's Billboard 200 and her own Celebration album receiving a boost, re-entering at No. 86, it's gotten me thinking about Madonna's best-selling digital songs. Could you please provide totals for her five best-selling tracks since 2005 (when digital sales began contributing to the Billboard Hot 100) and her 10 best-selling hits before then? That way, no newer tracks (i.e., 4 Minutes or Hung Up) that fans had the chance to purchase from the time of their release "unfairly" rank above older songs.
Also, what are Madonna's overall digital songs sales?
Thank you and keep up the good work,
Jim Radenhausen
Reeders, Pennsylvania
Hi Jim, The spotlight on Madonna has certainly benefitted both "Glee" and the Queen of Pop. Make sure to check our Billboard cover story on the show, as well.
I, like millions of other viewers, thought that the "Glee" cast did a great job covering Madonna's catalog. Two personal favorite highlights from the April 20 episode: Lea Michele and Cory Monteith's walk-and-sing mash-up of Borderline and Open Your Heart - complete with Madonna look-alikes of various eras in the background - and Amber Riley's powerful solo on Like A Prayer.
As requested, here is a look at the digital sales to-date, according to Nielsen SoundScan through the week ending April 25, of Sue Sylvester's musical hero:
Top-Selling Madonna Titles Released Since 2005:
2,751,000, 4 Minutes
1,200,000, Hung Up 358,000, Sorry
316,000, Give It 2 Me
192,000, Celebration
Top-Selling Madonna Titles Released Before 2005:
443,000, Like A Prayer
322,000, Material Girl
311,000, Vogue
293,000, Ray Of Light 260,000, Holiday
240,000, Like A Virgin
217,000, Music
211,000, Crazy For You
189,000, Santa Baby
184,000, Die Another Day
Madonna has sold 11.6 million digital songs to date.
The advertising campaign for the new MDG line designed by Madonna and Dolce & Gabbana keeps spreading on the magazines worldwide as you can see from this different ad that appeared on the latest issue of the US edition of "Vogue".
