There was big fuss surrounding Madonna's "fashion" collection for H M. Unfortunately, all the big fuss left people disappointed once they actually saw the collection. Interestingly enough, when designers like Stella McCartney or Karl Lagerfeld designed for H M the clothes went flying off the ranks in less than an hour.
According to focus group feedback, the “range looked cheap and there was a move to limit the launch to just accessories.” But the big bosses wanted to avoid any confrontation with Madonna so just went ahead with the launch. Madonna is packing up her bags and moving her family from London to New York to be closer to her sick dad as he fights cancer.
Her film director hubby Guy Ritchie has been busy working in LA and she is now trying to find a new family home in New York. Madonna, who now lives almost permanently in the UK, has already been Stateside to see Tony Ciccone twice this year. Her fears for his deteriorating health have forced her to move the family from London and plan for them to spend much more time in the US.
A source said: “Madonna, Guy and the kids are definitely moving to New York this year. The deal is to spend as much time there as in London — if not more. Guy hasn’t been as keen on the idea but Madonna is insisting they are moving.
” Madonna’s dad has been receiving treatment for colon cancer in Leelanau County Hospital, Michigan, which is relatively close to New York. Recent reports suggested he was making good progress — but Madonna fears he is putting on a brave face to benefit family and friends. The book deal for Live to Tell: My Life as Madonna's Nanny, by Melissa Dumas, has been shot down by Crown, Publishers.
The company said "it will not be publishing the memoir to be authored by Madonna's former nanny, Melissa Dumas. The rights to the book have been released to the author, who is represented by [Sharlene Martin of] Martin Literary Management." "I deeply regret that Crown Publishing decided not to move forward in publishing Melissa Dumas’ book," Martin told The Book Standard.
"I had a wonderful experience with them with a previous nanny tome; You’ll Never Nanny in This Town Again, and had hoped to repeat that experience." According to The Mirror, "Madonna, predictably enough, has risen from the lotus position to turn the full force of her legal team against rogue nanny Melissa Dumas in an attempt to silence her." "I kissed Britney Spears.
I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her." This is how Madonna described her lip-lock with Britney Spears back in 2003.
Many argue that rather than passing the energy on to Britney, she sucked it out of her. Madonna seems to be following in Britney Spears’ footsteps. The diva must have forgotten that you have to buckle up your child in a child seat regardless of whether or not you’re actually driving.
Reps for Madge said, "Proper security measures are always taken for Madonna's children." Wonder if social services is gonna get on Madonna’s ass about this incident? In more Madonna news, a woman claiming to be a former nanny is currently shopping around a tell all book detailing all of Madonna’s household.
That is just wrong! She will reportedly reveal intimate information pertaining to Madonna's marriage to Ritchie, their children's behavior, the family's participation in Kabbalah, and the motivation behind Madonna's decision to adopt a boy from Malawi. There will also be personal photos of Madonna's family, as well as photos of the alleged nanny playing with Madonna's kids.
This chick better watch her back, I wouldn't be surprised if Madonna beats the crap out of her once she finds out. Her biceps scare me.
