Madonna – Madonna celebrates daughter’s Grease appearance

Madonna threw an after-party to celebrate her daughter’s performance in her school production of ‘Grease’.

The ‘Girl Gone Wild’ hitmaker took her daughter Lourdes Leon – her child with Carlos Leon – and 10 of her friends to an ”apres-ski themed” lounge at the Hudson Hotel in New York City after she watched the 17-year-old budding fashion designer take to the stage for the show staged by LaGuardia High School.

The teenagers indulged in non-alcoholic beverages, since the legal drinking age in America is 21, while Madonna opted for champagne.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: ”Madonna toasted with champagne. The kids all had pink lemonade.”

Madonna attempted to keep a low-profile as she watched the musical with her other children, Rocco, David and Mercy and wore ”sunglasses for the whole show”.

Lourdes who was cast as Betty Rizzo in the iconic musical won rave reviews for her performance.

A source previously said: ”[She was] really good. The show was completely sold out, and people were scalping tickets beforehand.”
The insider added: ”Lourdes is a great singer, dancer and actress and seemed completely comfortable on the stage. She also seemed like she was having a lot of fun with the part.”

Who The F**K Is Arthur Fogel? (poster)

Who The F**K Is Arthur Fogel?
Premieres Wednesday January 29th 8PM ET

This documentary by Ron Chapman profiles Arthur Fogel, a relatively unknown businessman who has revolutionized the global concert touring industry. Who the F**k is Arthur Fogel? is the untold story of a quiet, private man at the controls of the high-octane, ever-changing (and often treacherous) global music industry.

Who the F**k is Arthur Fogel? includes an in-depth interview with Fogel, as well as appearances by Bono, The Edge, Sting, Andy Summers, Madonna, Geddy Lee, Bill Zysblat, Monte Pittman, Kathy Schenker, Paul McGuinness, Ray Waddell, Michael Rapino, Guy Oseary, Elliot Roberts, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, Troy Carter and many many more, as well as rarely seen concert performances. In addition to the interviews, the film features the music of Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rush, Sting, The Police, U2 and Depeche Mode to name a few.

Rumor: Madonna reunites with Sean Penn and Patrick Leonard

On Saturday, several news outlets reported that Madonna was reuniting with her ex-husband Sean Penn for the holidays. While we don’t know for sure if this is true, we do know that Madonna reunited with Sean during a trip to Haiti a couple weeks back.

Fans are split on whether or not Madonna should be reuniting with an ex-husband that was allegedly very mean to her. However, we guarantee they won’t be split on this news: Madonna has been seen with Patrick Leonard, the man she has written and produced several of her most beloved songs with.

They were seen once at LAX Airport and another at P.F. Chang’s at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. However, there is no romantic interest here; it’s all about Madonna’s upcoming album, tentatively due for release at the end of 2014. “Somebody forwarded an article to Madonna about how much Pat missed working with her,” our source says. Madonna was really touched by this and contacted Leonard to start working on some new music.

Madonna really wants to record another album like “I’m Breathless,” which was a side-project type of album that was inspired by her role in the movie “Dick Tracy.” Even though the album remains a favorite among a small selection of fans, most people consider the album Madonna’s first big mistake, at least musically. However, the album really does show that Madonna has a raw and soothing voice.

“Madonna wants to remind people that she is quite a good vocalist,” our source tells us. “The record company is pushing her to work with Daft Punk and Eric Prydz. They are two of the biggest names in the EDM scene right now. But Madonna wants to do something totally different.”

Let’s hope Madonna goes in a different direction. We liked her last two albums, but believe most of the songs on these albums could have easily been recorded by Britney Spears or Rihanna. Whatever she decides to record will definitely be a big part of her huge upcoming tour. We will have more on that soon.
