i bought her "Music" album tonight :D, it was $10 but it was the bad cheapo China edition, but its all good :D, one day i will get all of her albums :D (and steal 3 of them from my mum) :P

EDIT i think it was a bootleg :S, doesnt have the lyrics to American Pie :\

Another outtake from the Ariake sessions surfaced! It's pretty cool looking.

There's also more gossip going around about the new material. Apple's holding a media event Sept. 5th with this as the ad.

What do you guys think? I think it's possible that she could be linked to the project because she was one of the first celebs to have an iPhone and also because of her past stuff with Apple. (She did that Motorola ROKR iTunes phone ad back when Hung Up came out and she also released all her music on the iTunes store)

Remember these?

See the thing that has me puzzled is that it's so close. It seems like we'd have more info since it's on the fifth.

The Associated Press basically confirmed that Madonna and Justin aren't going to be on the VMAs because she's going to be hosting a Malawi adoption agent next week. They'll be assessing her ability as an adoptive parent.

She'll be issuing a press release on Thursday I think regarding all this.

Nice outtake!

Maybe there's going to be some kind of Apple exclusive related to the new album that they feel is worth advertising?

I heard a rumour on another board that it's going to be a double album (someone claimed they saw Warner's release schedule), is that false like the October release?

I posted that, it's the 25th anniversary set.

I was just thinking, Madonna is ANTI-AGE! She still looks fabulous after all these years, it's really WOW!

Anyway, any other news on that new album? Yup, the new shots look fantastic!

Arianne does it again for Madge new album

When Arianne Phillips set out to create the costumes for the James Mangold remake of the classic western "3:10 to Yuma," her biggest challenge was making the clothes seem like they'd already had the life wrung out of them.

Weeks of research went into the costume designs for the 25 main characters and 1,000 extras. "I didn't want to take the audience out of the story," Phillips said. "I wanted to avoid cliches and try to create a gritty reality" — a tall order considering how much Westerns are a part of the American consciousness, she said.

Tossed into the difficulty of the assignment was the fact that filming for the movie took place during the worst winter in New Mexico in 70 years, according to Phillips. She spent part of her time just trying to keep the actors reasonably warm as temperatures dipped to 10 and 12 degrees.

Since filming, Phillips has been busy supervising photo shoots for fashion magazines and looking at other film projects. She'll also be working on Madonna's next album. She has worked with Madonna for years. Phillips is proud of this movie, which has gotten glowing reviews from heavyweights like the Hollywood Reporter and Variety.

"This is a stellar, stellar piece," she said. "I'm very proud to be associated with this movie.

"For a designer, it was an incredible project"

It Seems that nothing is coming THIS YEAR at this point regarding a Madonna release.

Warner and Madonna started to put something out this year, hence the different comfigs on the schedule. So we should wait the new year for her new album.

Even the Best of Remixes 2 is not happening this year anymore. Its release was decided last April.The remixes album has been in the air since 2004, and Drowned Madonna revealed it 3 years ago. Once again Warner has NO plans this year to release anything special like an Anniversary Box Set. There is a possible release of sort into 2008. So look into the new year

This makes me really sad, but I'm waiting until Liz confirms it or not. I'm thinking M still has some tricks up her sleeve for us, but if not then that's okay too. I think it's wise of her because her family is more important than anything right now. The Malawi inspector is supposed to be here from Tuesday on (for two weeks).

Also, the new English Roses stuff is listed on Amazon.

Has the rumors about Justin Timberlake working with Madonna, true? If it is then WOOOOOOT!

Awww that's a real bummer! I was so looking forward to a new M release this year. Oh well, I'd rather her release quality than crap.

Shame about the remixes, I was looking forward to them.

December 3rd, 2007 will give way to the charity single Sing, a song by Annie Lennox which features Madonna on vocals.

Annie Lennox's Album Songs Of Mass Destruction will hit the stores on October 1st accompanied by a single already set for release called Dark Road. Meanwile the follow-up single will be Sing.
Lennox wrote the song after her work with Nelson Mandela's 46664 Aids charity. It will raise funds for the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), an organisation campaigning for the rights of people with HIV and Aids, whose own vocal group The Generics inspired Lennox to create the track.

As we all know Madonna has also been up there raising awareness and fighting against the prejudices about this terrible disease from the start, which make it perfectly suitable for the single to be release on World AIDS Day, 1 December 2007 as scheduled.**

Remixes have already been commissioned for Sing. One remix of Sing, by DJ Dean Coleman, has already been played on BBC radio.

**Steve from the UltimateEurythmicsWebsite pointed out at that the actual release date for sing is December the 3rd, we stand corrected! Thanks Steve!

Wonderful! I can't wait for this cause I've been listening to Sing a lot.

Here's the cover for Annie's new album courtesy of Madonna.com. You can also preorder it here on Amazon.
