Madonna: the most incredible shows of the tour was in São Paulo
Brazilian magazine RG Vogue brings a short and very special note about Madonna and the Sticky & Sweet Tour, there's also an interview with Christian Lamb:
Lamb, who used to work on movies before working with the pop diva, told us that Madonna herself considers the São Paulo concert the most incredible of her tour. "She was very emotional with the end of Hard Candy. She cried during the entire show. We just realized that everything was going to end when we arrived in Brazil."
In Rio, a torrential rain almost ruined everything... "She considered not going on stage. This was a very important question. The crowd security is our responsibility. There was a car on the stage that could fall... you know? Anything could happen".
Lamb told RG that Madonna was amazed by the crowd reaction, and how everyone was so receptive even with the rain. "In America half of people would have left the stadium..." he said.

Sticky & Sticky Tour to continue in 2009!
Madonna Tribe
So for once the rumours - or part of them - seem to be true.
MadonnaTribe has heard and can report that the Madonna team is indedd working on plans to hit the road again this Summer.
It won't be a proper new tour, but rather an extension of last year's show. It is currently planned to last two months - July and August - and it should mainly visit cities where the 2008 tour hasn't stopped. Also. as of now, this is shaped as a European tour only.
It is probably too early to say which countries will be included. Marseille in France made the headlines today with yet to be confirmed reports of Madonna performing at the Velodrome in mid-July.
The other stops that have been mentioned the most by the rumor mill so far have been Milan, Italy, where Madonna is rumoured to play San Siro's Meazza Stadium, and a short residency at Greenwhich's O2 Arena in London, England.
There is certainly a lot more in the making so it will be better to wait until an official announcement turns rumours into facts, but the most discussed topic in the Madonna online community in this beginning of 2009 seems indeed to be true: Madonna will extend the Sticky & Sweet tour with a revamped show next Summer.

Madonna's favourite books revealed by Gwyneth Paltrow
On her life-style website, GOOP, Gwyn writes:
I feel a bit swallowed up in January, the days are so short, the sky is so close and gray. The best way to escape (not to mention the least expensive, most hassle-free way) is to curl up by the fire with an amazing, transportive novel. This week I have asked a couple of my best and most literary-minded girlfriends to share their top picks. These are the women who read voraciously and with passion. No TV for them before bed (I need a little something, even 10 minutes of "The X Factor" or a forensic pathology documentary, just something, for Lord's sake!). I always like knowing the literary preferences of people. I think it gives a better understanding of their inner life. I have also included some of the books that have affected me the most.
Happy reading!
Love,
Gwyneth
Madonna’s Favorites: (Madonna Ciccone rules the world, is a loyal friend and a terrific mother)

The new issue of French fashion magazine Vogue features an interview of Marc Jacobs by Loïc Prigent and of course the US stylist is asked about her collaboration with Madonna for the new Louis Vuitton campaign:
L.P.: How Madonna ended up on the Vuitton ads ?
M.J.: I'm very proud i got the idea and that our agendas could match. At her latest concert at the Stade de France I was very moved by her ability to change. Then on monday morning, when i arrived at Louis Vuitton's office for a meeting with Antoine Arnault to choose the face for the new campaign, i told him: "Madonna". I text messaged her and less than ten minutes later she said yes. She always has her blackberry within sight. I told her about Brassaï, about a certain idea of Paris. And if there's someone who can understand Style, it's her, she isn't a newbie when it comes to fashion. The photoshoot lasted one afternoon, between people who trust each other, it went smoothly.
L.P.: New York newspapers report she was paid $10 million ?
M.J.: I don't really have any idea about the exact figure but it's far from the truth. Madonna did it for another reason, not for money, since she agreed before any negociations took place. The financial aspect was dealt with later and quickly, between Guy Oseary, her manager, and Antoine Arnault.

Snoop Dogg seeks Madonna, Becks, Macca’s help to beat UK ban
Yahoo!
London, Jan 19: Hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg, who has been banned from the UK for three years, is reportedly seeking the help of his friends to get back in.
He is said to have been trying to gain the support of heavyweight A-listers like Sir Paul McCartney, David Beckham, and Madonna.
“I love London and I’m desperate to come back. I’ve called David Beckham, Sir Paul McCartney, hell, I want to get the whole of the Beatles to help me get back in,” the Mirror quoted him as saying.
The rapper, who made friends with Beckham after he moved to the United States to play for LA Galaxy, said that he wanted the former England captain to take up his matter with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
He added: “I’m trying to get through to Madonna as well. I’d love them all to write to the Prime Minister to change his mind.”
t was after Snoop was arrested for his involvement in a fracas at Heathrow in April 2006 that his visa woes began. He even had to cancel his joint mega-tour with P Diddy after being banned from entering the UK.

However, the rapper now insists that he is a reformed man, and wants his friends to help him get back to the country.
He pleaded: "You got to help me too. London was one of the first places I came to when I first made it. The people are so warm and friendly and I need to be there for my creativity. So tell my fans I have not forgotten them and I have not given up hope. Shout out to them all - especially the ladies." (ANI)Monday, January 19, 2009
