Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes religious music. Madonna’s “Holiday” probably wouldn’t make the cut for most people. Despite this, two musicians have claimed that the song was an act of God. You don’t get much more religious than that.
1 of the writers of Madonna’s ‘Holiday’ said every songwriter receives a song from God
“Holiday” was co-written by Curtis Hudson and Lisa Stevens. During a 2012 interview with Blogcritics, Hudson had an interesting explanation of the song’s origins. “There are certain songs that God gives you as a writer,” he said. “‘Holiday’ was a gift. From our hard work out of the hundreds of songs we worked on, he looked down and said, ‘I’m gonna bless you with this song.’ I think that happens to all writers at some point.”
Stevens had a similar view of the track. “We always felt like it...

Madonna has many obvious predecessors but Smokey Robinson is not one of them. Despite that, Robinson influenced one of the key ingredients of Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.” The Queen of Pop revealed what she thought of “Like a Virgin” and some of her other early songs in retrospect.
Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ was inspired by Smokey Robinson and a bad relationship
Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly co-wrote “Like a Virgin.” When they wrote it, there was no way they could have known how important the song would become. During an interview with SongwriterUniverse, Steinberg explained how the magic happened.
“It was in 1983 that Tom and I wrote ‘Like a Virgin,'” he explained. “It started with the lyric first. I was driving around in my pickup truck and I got the idea for the song. The idea came out of a personal experience. I was in a devastating relationship,...

Some of Madonna‘s songs made waves without becoming No. 1 hits. One of her career-defining tracks didn’t even make the top 10. The song’s writers said the tune had a massive effect on the music industry.
Madonna’s favorite of her hit songs came from her early days
In a 2005 interview with CBS News, Madonna was asked to name her favorites among her top 10 singles. The Queen of Pop admitted she couldn’t name all her top 10 singles. She immediately chose “Holiday” as a personal favorite, only to be told that that song only reached No. 16. The charts just aren’t fair!
Afterward, Madonna picked several favorites that did hit the top 10. Specifically, she picked out “Like a Virgin,” “Material Girl,” and “Like a Prayer.” The Material Girl said she never would have imagined her career becoming as successful as it was. Who knows if she would have become...

Madonna‘s “Lucky Star” might not be as famous as “Like Virgin” or “Like a Prayer,” but it has an incredible dance groove. The song’s producer discussed what he thought of the track. He also revealed what he thought of the Queen of Pop before she was the Queen of Pop.
Madonna’s producer said the final version of ‘Lucky Star’ is barely like the original
Reggie Lucas was the producer of Madonna’s self-titled first album. While Lucas is not a household name, he had a huge influence on the style of music known as post-disco, as well as dance music as a whole. During a 2013 interview with The Atlantic, Lucas discussed working with the Material Girl on the album.
“I’d write songs and put them on a little cassette player with me singing, and I can’t sing,” he said. “I’d ask Madonna if she liked them,...

Tyson was perhaps as surprised as some fans when he found out Madonna wanted him for a music video. The song “Iconic” was meant to be a sort of inspirational track, urging its listeners to achieve their goals. Acts like Madonna and Mike Tyson are both known for their rags-to-riches story, so it’s easy to see why Tyson’s presence could fit the song’s narrative. But when Madonna first contacted Tyson, appearing on her music video was the last thing he thought would happen.
“I didn’t know what the hell I was going there for.

Madonna and Sean Penn were one of the biggest celebrity couples of the 1980s, but it didn’t work out for them. Despite their high profile, it seems like the reasons for their divorce are not widely discussed. Interestingly, Madonna wrote a song about a “destructive relationship” that seemed to resonate with Penn.
Madonna and Sean Penn met on the set of a famous music video
According to People, the Queen of Pop met Penn on the set of one of her defining music videos: “Material Girl.” Six months later, the two married on Madonna’s 27th birthday. Penn was 25 at the time.
At first, Madonna said their relationship was great because they shared the same temperament. Like many famous couples, they decided to play a couple onscreen. Together, they starred in the romantic comedy Shanghai Surprise, which became a notorious critical and commercial bomb.

It’s undeniable that Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and Madonna is the Queen of Pop — but only one of them had the higher net worth. While the two stars ruled the 1980s, they had very different careers. Shockingly, one of them was worth over a billion dollars more than the other.
Madonna’s net worth is huge
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Madonna was born on August 16, 1958, in Bay City, Michigan. She debuted with the now-forgotten single “Everybody,” but her self-titled debut album produced three subsequent hits: “Holiday,” “Borderline,” and “Lucky Star.” She became a megastar with her second album, Like a Virgin. Between the album’s title track and the song “Material Girl,” Madonna established herself as a provocative performer who was not afraid to flaunt her sexuality.

Madonna‘s had an impressive array of No. 1 songs, but she’s also had something rarer: an impressive array of No. 2 songs. Some of her defining hits just missed the top spot. Here’s a nostalgic look back at some of the Queen Pop’s best musical (and music video) moments.
1. ‘Material Girl’
Considering “Material Girl”‘s great new wave beat and iconic music video inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, it would have been a hit regardless of its lyrics. The song is a cute satire of Reagan-era values that’s light enough to be taken at face value. Because some listeners did take it at face value, the song has been used to paint Madonna as shallow and greedy.
The track hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. While the charts are never fair, that placement feels like a real insult. After all, what song...

With a new BBC radio series now launched, Courtney Love is once again proving the power of the adage “go large or go home.”
In a wide ranging interview with the UK’s Standard today, the former Hole front woman puts forth her take on some of the biggest names in the music industry. Let’s just say, Love bites in deep in the newspaper, to quote from her 1998 tune “Celebrity Skin,” to get her pound of flesh from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Madonna and recent Coachella headliner Lana Del Rey.
“Taylor is not important,” the People vs. Larry Flint star says of the superstar.
“She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” Love added.
The contrarian opinion on Swift is a big shift from where Love was on the Folklore singer just over two years ago.

“The Masked Singer” kicked off its 11th season on Wednesday night — and in perhaps the show’s most unusual reveal ever, comedian Kevin Hart brought his prank war with host Nick Cannon to the show.
Hart brought his one-night-only appearance to “The Masked Singer” as Book, singing the song “So Sick,” by Ne-Yo (who happened to be the Season 10 winner on the show). The performance… was a bit pitchy, dawg. At the end of the song, the show’s panelists seemed to dig it. But after Robin Thicke quickly I.D.’ed Hart, the star took off his costume to reveal himself.

One of his friends told Mirror.co.uk: “Madonna is a notorious perfectionist and Rocco remembers her previous tours well – she has a habit of exhausting herself by pushing too hard because she cares so much. He is really worried that her health will suffer if she does the same thing again.”

Pop queen Madonna had once allegedly stuck her tongue inside Hollywood actor Al Pacino’s ear when they first met back in the 1970’s according to her former roommate Whitley Hill. The ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker detailed the incident in her biography ‘Madonna: A Rebel Life’, which hit the bookshelves on October 12. In the book, Hill shared that her dad, Ed Setrakian, had introduced the ‘Godfather’ star to Madonna at dinner in New York City sometime between 1978 and 1979.
After Setrakian drove everyone home, Pacino allegedly said: “That friend of your daughter’s stuck her tongue in my ear. When we were driving home, she leaned over and stuck her tongue in my ear!”
According to Whitley, the actor also told her father Ed that Madonna called “attention to her mouth.” At that time, the ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ singer allegedly chewed gum in a “slow, deliberate manner,” in front of the actor,...

The movie Clue features an incredible cast of actors and Madonna was almost among them. Despite this, the Queen of Pop was denied a role in the film. Subsequently, another actor explained why she landed the part instead.
Madonna lost a part in the movie ‘Clue’ to an actor who wore a maid outfit to her audition
Colleen Camp played Yvette, the French maid in Clue. During a 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Camp discussed getting the role. “From what I understand, a number of people wanted the part, like Julianne Moore and Madonna,” she said. “But Jennifer Jason Leigh was the choice, and when she did not do the movie, my manager [whom I shared with Jennifer] suggested me. And I went full out — I dressed up in a maid’s outfit; I created this French accent. I basically got the part in the room.”

Madonna’s “Material Girl” is a very 1980s song and so is the classic rock song that outperformed it. Madonna said she enjoys material things while acknowledging their impermanence. She once told Oprah Winfrey “I’m so not the Material Girl now.”
Madonna‘s “Material Girl” exemplified the materialism of the 1980s. During its time on the charts, “Material Girl” was overshadowed by a classic rock song. Later, Madonna said “Material Girl” didn’t represent her true feelings.
Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ was overshadowed on the charts by a classic rock power ballad
According to Rhino Entertainment, “Material Girl” merely hit No. 2 on the charts. It was blocked from the top of the Billboard Hot 100 by Reo Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling.” On a surface level, “Material Girl” extolls the greed of the era. It also combines new-wave music with dance-pop in a way that was typical during the time.

Pop icon Madonna is said to have been “one step away from disaster” for a while, with her children set to “stage an intervention” after her scary hospital dash that left her needing intensive care.
Last month, it was revealed that 64-year-old ‘Material Girl’ singer had suffered a scary hospital dash after developing a bacterial infection that saw her checked into an intensive care unit. Reports even said that Madonna was “intubated,” reports Mirror.co.uk.
But now it has emerged the singer’s kids, including her daughter Lourdes, 26, have staged an intervention for their famous mother due to the way in which she reportedly “punishes herself” and is said to go “overboard” with surgery.
As well as her eldest child Lourdes, Madonna is also mum to Rocco, 22; David, 17; Mercy, 17; and 10-year-old twins Stella and Estere.

Soon after, social media users claimed that her face was “covered in plastic surgery” and suggested that she “should focus on ageing gracefully”.
Madonna responded to the criticism in an Instagram post.

Vanilla Ice is recalling the time Madonna popped the question when they briefly dated in the early 1990s, and it freaked him out!
The 55-year-old rapper divulged the nugget while on the “Just Jenny with Jenny Hutt” podcast and revealed they actually met when he was performing at a sold-out show at the famed Hollywood Palladium theatre in Los Angeles. He said he saw her dancing her butt off and surrounded by a large entourage.
Later, while backstage, the “Ice Ice Baby” rapper says he noticed Madonna making “sexy eyes” at him. He didn’t think the flirtation was directed at him, so he didn’t pay much attention. But that all changed when Sbk Records co-founder Charles Koppelman, Hutt’s father, told the rapper Madonna wanted to meet him. Vanilla Ice couldn’t believe it. He was in shock.

As 2022 came to a close, we asked seven writers and filmmakers to reflect on Jean-Luc Godard's memory. Starting from a single aspect of his filmmaking—a particular film, image, sound cue, or affecting experience with his work—their responses evoke the breadth of his revolutionary legacy. We're thankful they found the words.The pieces below are written by Ephraim Asili, Richard Brody, A.S. Hamrah, Rachel Kushner, Miguel Marías, Andréa Picard, and Lucía Salas.In Memoriam JLGWhen I was in high school in the 1980s, I drove 50 miles with some friends to see Breathless at a student screening in a big auditorium at UConn. How did we know this screening was happening? How did we know how to get there? How did we even know anything was happening anywhere, ever? We saw listings in newspapers and paid attention to flyers. We had maps in our cars. But above all, it...

Universal’s Madonna biopic – starring Julia Garner and directed by the singer herself – is not moving forward, a source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to TheWrap.
The news comes a week after the “Material Girl” singer announced a career-spanning, globe-trotting tour, raising speculation about the untitled film’s future. It has languished in development since 2020, when Madonna was set to direct and co-write with “Juno” scribe Diablo Cody. They completed the script in April 2021 despite rumors that Cody had exited the project, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Garner won the leading role in June 2022. The “Ozark” and “Inventing Anna” star was reportedly up against stars like Florence Pugh, Odessa Young, Alexa Demie, Sky Ferreira and Bebe Rexha during the months-long audition process.

Turns out James Cameron got some of his material from the “Material Girl” herself.
The “Avatar” writer/director was inspired by Madonna’s microphone placement during her concerts and found himself “Hung Up” on the concept of staying close to actors during action sequences.
“Avatar,” which will be re-released in theaters September 23 ahead of the sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water,” premiered in 2009 with Sam Worthington starring as a former Marine who travels to planet Pandora and falls in love with a Na’vi woman, played by Zoe Saldana. The lush world of Pandora and its linked Avatars were best suited to be showcased onscreen with the same action as Madonna’s onstage performances.
“If Madonna can be bouncing around with a microphone in her face and give a great performance, we thought, ‘Let’s replace that microphone with a video camera,'” producer Jon Landau told The New York Times.
