We had a blast talking all things Madonna with Melissa in September 2009 that we thought might enjoy hearing it again-
For almost three decades, Madonna has captured the imagination of the public by identifying where we needed to be pushed and ooh ooh, taking us there like a prayer.
Whether you’re crazy for her or annoyed by her expressing herself, you can’t deny the impact this beautiful stranger has had on all of us.
Today we dedicate the first part of our show to Madonna- the woman, the iconoclast, the musician.
Cabaret singer and Madonna expert Melissa Young joins us before she sets off on her own “Lucky Star” tour- a one woman show dedicated to the life and music of Madonna.
Madonna’s new video for her song “Celebration” does it right, featuring her die-hard fans videotaped at her concerts dancing to the beat. But the big highlight is the pop diva’s baby girl, Lourdes, all grown up and wearing the wedding dress big momma wore in her 80s video “Like a Virgin.”
Plus, Madonna’s gay brother Christopher Ciconne insults her latest hairstyle on TV- is he keeping it real or is he just really jealous?
Also in the news-
Terrible Patrick Swayze, Kanye West joke that’s involves Michael Jackson that’s making the rounds online
The touching and colorful promise to a dead solider.
True Blood Hunk for gay marriage.
Hollywood gay gossip from the 1950s.[via]
Nicole Kidman set to play a transsexual artist.
And we mourn the loss of musician Mary Travers and comedian Henry Gibson.
