Bathroom Break & More...

Madonna has done a new interview to the Mexican magazine Basta. There she reveals that she has already started work on her next album - or at least she stated that she has material for it! She also has a new movie project coming up. Hopefully this means we will get some new stuff from her next year!

She also did a TV interview (in her bathroom!) in Miami which will be broadcast tomorrow on Globo TV!



Madonna has wrapped up the US leg of her MDNA tour, with every single show completely sold out! And there are some more good news for the queen (and gays):

Madonna did not break city laws on the promotion of a homosexual lifestyle among minors during a concert in St. Petersburg earlier this year, a court ruled on Thursday.

"Madonna’s actions were planned and aimed at the formation of a distorted view of personal relations," read the lawsuit, which was dismissed after a six-hour-long hearing by the St. Petersburg court.

The nine plaintiffs were claiming over $10 million in compensation for "moral damages" suffered during Madonna’s concert in August, during which the star handed out pink bracelets to the crowd in a show of unity with the city’s gay and lesbian community.

The organizers of the concert had stated that entry to the concert would be barred to anyone under 18 years of age.The authorities had earlier refused to open a criminal investigation into the allegations.

"St. Petersburg’s laws were brutally violated and in the coming years this type of violation could become the norm," plaintiff Marina Yakovlyeva told the court. "But we have created a precedent – any artist coming to our city will know now what laws exist in our city."

The plaintiffs also said Madonna’s "gay propaganda" would lead to a deterioration of Russia’s demographic crisis and its subsequent inability to man its army. They also said her promotion of homosexuality would lead to an increase in divorce rates.

But the judge at the trial was unimpressed.

"How many families split up because one of the couple is gay?" asked Judge Vitaly Barkovsky. "And how many because of alcoholism? How many lawsuits have you filed against alcohol companies?"

The plaintiffs were backed by St. Petersburg lawmaker Vitaly Milonov, who authored the city’s "gay propaganda" law. The law, which was passed in March, criminalizes "public action aimed at propagandizing sodomy, lesbianism, bisexualism, and transgenderism among minors." Those charged with breaking the law face fines from 5,000 to 500,000 rubles.

Despite a court summons, Madonna did not attend the hearing, which attracted intense media attention in Russia. A spokesperson for Madonna was not available for comment on Thursday.

The court’s ruling deflected further potential criticism of Russia’s judicial system, which was the subject of widespread international condemnation in the wake of the jailing of anti-Putin punks Pussy Riot for two years apiece in August.

Madonna, who will appear in Rio de Janeiro on her MDNA world tour, has reserved an entire hotel for herself and her team, the online edition of the daily O Globo said Tuesday.

“The team includes, among many others, physical trainers, personal assistants, hairdressers, wardrobe attendants” as well as her four children and their tutors, the Web site said.

It added that due to the large number of people surrounding her on the tour, Madonna decided to reserve an entire hotel by the sea at Ipanema, a stretch of coastline that together with Copacabana and Leblon make up Rio’s most famous string of beaches.

The MDNA tour, which kicked off in Israel last May, will reach Latin America next weekend, when the Queen of Pop appears in Mexico before moving on to Colombia.

On Dec. 2 the singer will perform in Rio de Janeiro, after which she will be off to Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre followed by Buenos Aires and Santiago, finally winding up her tour in the Argentine city of Cordoba.
