Madonna in Time's Most Powerful Women of the Past Century listMadonna in Time's Most Powerful Women of the Past Century list Time surveys the women who have most influenced our world. Here's their list of The 25 Most Powerful Women of the Past Century in alphabetical order: Jane Addams (1860-1935) Corazon Aquino (1933-2009) Rachel Carson (1907-1964) Coco Chanel (1883-1971) Julia Child (1912-2004) Hillary Clinton (1947-Present) Marie Curie (1867-1934) Aretha Franlkin (1942-Present) Indira Gandhi (1917-1984) Estée Lauder (1908-2004) Madonna (1958-Present) Margaret Mead (1901-1978) Golda Meir (1898-1978) Angela Merkel (1954-Present) Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-Present) Rosa Parks (1913-2005) Jiang Qing (1914-1991) Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) Gloria Steinem (1934-Present) Martha Stewart (1941-Present) Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Margaret Thatcher (1925-Present) Oprah Winfrey (1954-Present) Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) Every pop star of the last two to three decades has Madonna to thank in some part for his or her success. The triple threat who does it all - chart-topping singer, energetic dancer and all-around provocateur - left her home state of Michigan with $35 in her pocket and a dream to make it in New York City, and far exceeded that goal with hit singles like “Vogue,” “Like a Virgin” and “Ray of Light.” The one-named wonder’s memorable music videos and live performances, which almost always include extravagant dance numbers, over-the-top outfits and eyebrow-raising concepts, made her one of MTV’s most popular artists. After causing no shortage of controversy with her unabashed sexuality and outspokenness, Madonna has since turned some of her efforts toward being a mother and humanitarian - but not before cementing her place in pop culture as the best-selling female rock artist of the 20th century.

MADONNA MADONNA MADONNA MADONNA MADONNA Before Madonna locked lips with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba says she shared multiple kisses with the pop star. The "Dancing" judge and host of GSN's GSN's "1 vs. 100" stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday and revealed details from her time as a dancer on Madonna's 1993Girlie Show tour - a job for which she had to sacrifice her long locks. "On that tour, when we all auditioned [Madonna] said, 'If you take this job you all have to shave your head.' I was cool with that because, you know, I'm Asian and there are so many stereotypes that we have a to be a doctor or graphic designer or lawyer or something like that. I was like, 'I'm going for it! I'm going to be the bald bold girl!'" she told Billy and Kit. Carrie Ann added that she got to know the pop star in a very intimate way during the tour. "She's amazing. She works so hard and she pushes your buttons. And, you know, we made out on the stage," Carrie Ann said. "Well, there was like an orgy thing on stage and we were doing this and that and it felt so good and one night my boyfriend was in the audience and her friend at the time was in the audience... I'm not saying whether it was a boy or girl, and they were in the audience. And she was, I think, trying to tempt them and trying to make them jealous, so she turned around and I just saw this tongue coming at me and we had this full on make out session on stage." Not everyone was so excited to see Carrie Ann make out with Madonna. "[My boyfriend] was mad because he was a Virgo. And he was like, 'That is wrong!' So, I approached her about it and I said, 'You know, that wasn't cool,' and she said, 'It's acting.' I said, 'If it was acting then we would have done it everyday in rehearsal,' and I said, 'If you want to kiss me you have to come to my room and knock on my door and ask me,'" Carrie Ann recalled. The 'Dancing" judge told Billy and Kit that she never got a knock from Madonna, but did get another kiss. "We did play truth or dare the last night of the tour... I had another kiss. We had the second kiss," she said. From Access Hollywood via Yahoo! News.

Producer Dino De Laurentiis diesVProducer Dino De Laurentiis diesProducer Dino De Laurentiis diesProducer Dino De Laurentiis diesProducer Dino De Laurentiis diesProducer Dino De Laurentiis dies Legendary Italian film producer Dino De Laurentiis has died in Los Angeles today. In the 40's and 50's he produced some of the most popular Italian films including some of Fellini's masterpieces. De Laurentiis was the international distributor and co-producer of the popular hit documentary film In Bed With Madonna (1991) and then in 1992 produced for Madonnathe infamous film Body Of Evidence directed by Uli Edel. About working with Madonna he once said in an interview to Italian newspaper "Il Corriere Della Sera" that he didn't see Madonna as "the symbol of sin", as she was depicted at that time by world media. " I see her as an apparent bad girl, who knows how to behave well if you give her precise directions."

As announced Madonna was one of the guest on Today's Ellen's show. She discussed a series of themes, some of them quite important as teen being bullied and teen suicides. She said: "I'm incredibly disturbed and saddened by the overwhelming number of teen suicides that have been reported lately because of bullying. Suicide in general is disturbing. Teenagers committing suicide is extremely disturbing but to hear that teenagers are taking their lives because they are being bullied in schools and dormitories, what have you, is kind of unfathomable. I know a number of people have spoken out about it but I feel like I need to say something. The gay community has been incredibly supportive of me. I wouldn't have a career if it weren't for the gay community. I have a teenage daughter and I have ongoing discussions with her about this topic so I feel like I need to say a few words." Madonna also confessed she was bullied as a kid: "I can totally relate to the idea of feeling isolated and alienated. I was incredibly lonely as a child, as a teenager. I have to say I never felt like I fit in in school. I wasn't a jock. I wasn't an intellectual. There was no group that I felt a part of. I just felt like a weirdo". She took the time to remember her mentor Christopher Flynn when she said: "It wasn't until my ballet teacher who was also gay took me under his wing and introduced me to a community of artists of other unique individuals who told me it was good and okay to be different and brought me to my first gay disco and ironically made me feel I was part of the world and it was okay to be different." Madonna says she talk to her children about respecting other people and about the importance of not judging people who are different. "The concept that we are torturing teenagers because they are gay. It's kind of like I said earlier. It's unfathomable. It's like lynching black people or Hitler exterminating Jews. Sorry if I'm going on a rampage right now but this is America. The land of the free and the home of the brave", she said. But is there a solution to bullying for Madonna? "I think it would be interesting for everybody to try one simple experiment. Try to get through the day each and everyone of us without gossiping about anybody. Not even listening to gossip. Walking away from it. Can you imagine what your day would be like? How much more free time you'd have? I also feel like you'd feel better about yourself" . Going back to her work, the Queen of Pop announced that she's in the process of editing her film right now and as soon as she's done with it she'll literally " got to get my butt in the studio and make some more music".

(To be taken with a grain of salt, but still worth checking out) The news that Madonna will hold her first concert in Seoul next May made headlines in the Korean media over the weekend. But some Korean entertainment insiders are doubtful about whether she will really be able to add her name to the list of pop superstars that have come to Korea in recent years - names that include Beyonce, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder. On Spot E Korea, which claims to be the Korean branch of the U.S.-based firm On-Spot Enterprises, said on Sunday it has “finalized talks with Madonna to proceed with her concert in Seoul in May,” but that “details related to the concert date, schedule and security policies are still under discussion.” It added that it had formed a partnership with Korean company Again Don Quixote in early October to prepare for the event. But industry insiders say that On Spot E Korea’s announcement - which, at six months in advance of the actual dates, is much earlier than most concerts involving major-label pop stars - is a stunt to beat out local competitors, rather than being based on fact. Koreans fans have waited a long time for a concert by the “Queen of Pop.” She has toured neighboring countries like Japan but has yet to come to Korea. Given the revenue such a concert would bring, concert promoters have long fought to bring her here. One possibility, according to a source well acquainted with the situation, is that On Spot E Korea has not actually finalized a concert deal but is buying time so that rival bidders will give up. “The new firm has few funds and not much experience,” the source said. “The only way it could sign her would be to take advantage of the time vacuum to round up investors.” On Spot E Korea has a history of canceling heavily publicized events. It was scheduled to hold an event called the “On Spot Hip Hop Festival” on Oct. 30, but it was cancelled less than two weeks before the festival. The company promoted the event by advertising the appearance of U.S. hip-hop stars such as T-Pain. On Oct. 28, the company claimed that actor Kevin Bacon would show up at a press conference in Seoul the following day to announce he would be filming the movie “My Life, My Secret” in Korea. But only 30 minutes before the event was scheduled to begin, the company sent out a notice saying that it could not verify whether Bacon had gotten on a plane to Korea. On Spot E Korea could not be reached for comment. From an article by joongang.co.kr.
