Alexa Demie Neither Confirms Nor Denies She Auditioned For The Madonna Biopic
At HBO Max’s For Your Consideration event last night, kicking off Emmys season, the Euphoria cast made a glamorous appearance. Among the cast in attendance was Alexa Demie, who plays the scrappy Maddy Perez on the show.
Earlier this year, Demie was one of several actresses who allegedly auditioned for the upcoming Madonna biopic, among the likes of Bebe Rexha, Florence Pugh, and Julia Garner. The audition process was said to be thorough, with the actresses said to have gone through an intense boot camp to learn the choreography.
In an interview with Variety‘s Mark Malkin, Demie coyly shrugged when asked if she auditioned to play Madonna and went through the boot camp.

At the time, Grey was close friends with Madonna.
“We did Bloodhounds of Broadway together,” she says of the 1989 film. The pop star threw her a 29th birthday party. “She told me she wrote ‘Express Yourself’ about me breaking up with Matthew,” Grey remembers of the first time she heard the song. “She played it for me in her car. I was in my log cabin with Johnny and she said, ‘Come into my car.’ And I got in her Mercedes where she had a really good sound system and she was like, ‘Listen to this song I just did. It’s about you.’

Rebel Heart Tour vinyl European release – more pre-order links added

Icons and Instincts: Choreographing and Directing Entertainment’s Biggest Stars [signed] by Vincent Paterson with Amy Tofte
For the first time, the choreographer of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Björk and many others reveals stage stories through his extraordinary journey.
Vincent Paterson began his professional dancing career late in life. It would take an exceptional turn when he became one of the lead dancers in Michael Jackson’s Beat It music video. Through hard work, he rises to the rank of choreographer and director for the world’s greatest singers, but also for cinema and musical comedy.
He tells with humility the fascinating universe of film sets, the rehearsal sessions where he had to orchestrate and synchronize dozens of dancers, life backstage where it is sometimes necessary to manage a few whims of the stars, his successes and his disappointments. It is a dive into the heart of the world of dance.
Rebel Heart Tour vinyl purple galaxy swirl or yellow opaque with black vinyl?
There was some confusion in regards to the colour of the upcoming Rebel Heart Tour vinyl release. Mercury Studio’s is only producing a purple galaxy swirl edition of the release in collaboration with Madonna’s team. However, Dutch retailers have listed the same release as ‘opaque yellow / with black vinyl’ instead of the purple galaxy swirl. The release bol.com refers to is listed as a European release (Austria to be precise) and Swedish retailer imusic.se has now also listed the release with ‘opaque yellow/black’ vinyl as issued by Eagle Rock Entertainment.
So are there two separate releases? The Rebel Heart Tour will be released on September 9, 2022.

Diablo Cody reminisces about working with Madonna on her biopic: “I’m profoundly grateful for the experience”
Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody “still can’t believe” she worked with Madonna, telling ABC Audio it was “a dream come true” to co-write her idol’s biopic.
The Queen of Pop announced in September 2020 that she would be directing her own biopic, and tapped Cody to co-write the script with her. According to Madge, the movie is a “happy, sad, mad, crazy, good, bad and ugly” story of her rise to stardom.
“I still can’t believe that’s how I was able to spend my summer,” Cody said of the experience. “She’s incredible! I don’t think I’ve ever met anybody with a work ethic like that before.”
“Madonna is just on another level,” the Juno writer continued. “I can’t really say that much about [the movie] but I can say that I’m profoundly grateful for the experience.”

RETRO CHART 1990: Madonna’s six-million seller “Vogue” was No. 1 in 30 countries
“Vogue”, the world’s best selling single of 1990, topped the charts in over 30 countries and remains one of Madonna’s biggest international hits
A house song with disco influences, the six-million-plus seller was co-written and co-produced by Madonna and Shep Pettibone. It was a trend setter for dance music in the 1990s, ranked fifth by VH1 in a list of Greatest Songs of the 90s and No. 3 by Slant Magazine in their list of 100 Greatest Dance Songs. AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine claimed the song was “Madonna’s finest single moment”.
It won three awards at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards out of a total of nine nominations.
A major influence on popular culture, “Vogue” took its inspiration from “vogueing”, a dance craze popular in the gay community where dancers used elaborate hand gestures and frequently stopped to pose. This song brought the dance style to the mainstream and cemented Madonna’s standing as an icon in the gay community.

April 1985: Madonna Ascends the Charts with ANGEL
By April 1985, Madonna was on top of the world. Her second album, Like a Virgin, had been at or near the top of the charts since being released in November 1984. The title track hit #1 on the Hot 100.

Standalone Vision Quest single “Crazy for You” was flying up the charts, on its way to #1 in May 1985.
Sticky & Sweet Tour in Werchter Belgium photo gallery
Madonna’s fifth date of the 2009 edition of the Sticky & Sweet Tour marked her first ever concert in Belgium. Madonna was scheduled to play Werchter, an outdoor area which is the site of Rock of Werchter. Madonna’s “Frozen” was legally forbidden to be played in Belgium due to a lawsuit. Belgian songwriter Salvatore Acquaviva accused Madonna of plagiarizing his song, Ma vie fout l’camp (My Life’s Getting Nowhere), which he wrote in 1993. The question on everyone’s lips was ‘will Madonna play “Frozen” anyway?’ The ban on “Frozen” was lifted in 2014.
Madonna didn’t start the show until 10.30pm and the weather conditions weren’t great. Werchter was wet, really wet. People were soaked by the rain and the mud. Still Madonna asked the crowd to take off their shirts during “La Isla Bonita”….most of the crowd just pretended they didn’t hear her.
So, would she play “Frozen”? Yes, in true Madonna-style! Did we expect otherwise? The song was probably the highlight of the night and the crowd ate it up.
