We’re now just 3 days away from the opening night of Madonna’s 2009
Sticky & Sweet Tour! The Material Girl and her whole band are busy
rehearsing for the show, which will be played 29 times in 25 different
cities all over Europe from July 4th to August 2nd. The 2009 leg of the
tour is to feature some changes, including a couple of songs that were
not performed last year, so get ready for what promises to be another
amazing experience!
While we all can’t wait for the tour to begin, we are happy to share 2 photos taken during the rehearsals in New York City :
Marc Jacobs was so pleased with this spring’s Louis Vuitton campaign featuring Madonna that he was eager to do an encore. “But very quickly Marc said, ‘I want something completely different,’” related Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s communication director. The new ingredients included a dash of Tamara de Lempicka and a soupçon of Man Ray for color-drenched images by Steven Meisel with a surreal edge, thanks to generous use of solarization, a technique of overexposure first perfected by Ray. “It gives something very graphic, more edgy” than the first Madonna campaign, also by Meisel, which depicted her as a French coquette in a Parisian bistro setting, Arnault said. The new spots, which break in a range of August titles, feature a variety of runway looks and leather goods, many in the house’s signature monogram.
Asked about the impact of the first Madonna campaign, Arnault said, snapping his fingers for emphasis, “Everything she was wearing in the first campaign was sold within a few months. People came into the store saying, ‘I want the Madonna bag, the Madonna shoes.”
Arnault declined to specify budgets for the fall ads, but said investments would be “flattish” versus last year. “We’re one of the rare brands to have not reduced investments,” he said.
Also slated for the second half is a new campaign devoted to the Tambour watch.

J'ai toujours admiré Michael Jackson. Le monde a perdu l'un de ses très grands, mais sa musique vivra pour toujours. Toutes mes condoléances à ses trois enfants, et aux autres membres de sa famille.

Madonna was making plans to take to the stage for a one-time performance with Michael Jackson at his 50-date London residency.
Despite
a reportedly frosty relationship, following a planned duet that never
materialized, Madonna was desperate to join the late King of Pop
onstage at the 02 Arena in London.
Dates were due to start in July and Madonna was all set to be a special guest, according to her manager Guy Oseary.
In
a post on his Twitter blog, Oseary says, "A month ago Madonna told me
she wanted to do a surprise performance at one of Michael Jackson's UK
shows."
Jackson was pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center on Thursday after suffering a fatal heart attack.
The Material Girl singer, who is the same age as 50-year-old Jackson, became the female equivalent of the Thriller superstar as they were propelled to phenomenal levels of fame in the 1980s.
The
pair accompanied each other to the 1991 Oscars, with Madonna dressed in
full Marilyn Monroe mode, famously leading a less-confident Jackson
down the red carpet.
Rumors even suggested the pop supercouple was an item, but Madonna killed that story by romancing Warren Beatty.

Le magazine américain Forbes vient de publier le top 10 des musiciens qui ont gagné le plus d'argent sur ces 12 derniers mois.
Et sans surprise, la grande gagnante est Madonna. Entre juin 2008 et juin 2009, elle a gagné 86 millions d'euros !
Grâce à son Sticky & Sweet Tour, la Madone, qui s'octroie la 1ère place, se met 235 000 euros par jour dans la poche. A 50 ans, elle reste sans conteste la Reine du pétrole, euh de la Pop.
Trio de tête 100 % féminin puisqu'en 2ème position on trouve Céline Dion avec ses 77,8 milions d'euros de salaire. Et elle aussi était en tournée cette année.
La 3ème place est attribuée à Beyoncé et ses 68,4 millions d'euros.
Pour le Sticky & Sweet tour 2, le titre "Hearbeat" devrais être remplacé par un medley de "Holiday" et "Everybody", avec un nouveau titre Celebrate. Une version assez ROCK de "Dress You Up" devrais remplacer le titre "Borderline" avec des sample du titre de The Knack, "My Sharona".
