Madonna and Bruce Springsteen are 2012's Richest Musicians: All the Money's in Touring

I don't know how much else Madonna and Silvio Berlusconi have in common--her extremely visible fight against aging is going much better than his--but here's one connection: This weekend Italy voted in an election that's serving as a referendum on a decade of economic stagnation caused by, among othe ...

Here's Why Ticket Prices are So Outlandish, and a Modest Proposal to Change That

Ticket prices are getting a little silly, wouldn't you agree? The smaller venues are doing a great job of holding them down (it cost me less than a cheap meal for three hours' of the Melvins and Unsane last year), but at your larger scale venues they long ago passed the $50 mark and kept climbing. I ... More >>

The Destiny's Child Comeback is Proof: Beyonce is the Invincible Pop Star

Destiny's Child released their first major-label song on the soundtrack to Men in Black, which came out on CD, cassette, and MiniDisc; they became famous shortly before Monica Lewinsky. This is the kind of thing a pop star less secure than Beyonce wouldn't want to draw attention toward, which is one ... More >>

Now That They've Party Rocked The World, What Should LMFAO Do Next?

Maybe my imagination's become limited and cynical in the third decade of existence, but I feel as though this Party Rock thing is on its last legs. It's enjoyed a phenomenal run, mostly in the perennially club-stamped hands of Redfoo and SkyBlu, the two Gordy descendants who compose LMFAO. They're e ... More >>

Who Is That Awesome Dancing Girl In Sarah Jaffe's New Video?

After watching the new video for Sarah Jaffe's first single, "Glorified High," which premiered Friday on MTV, I was reminded of the video for "Open Your Heart," namely the scene at the end, where Madonna and that kid who came to watch her peep show dance around in matching outfits. However, the mo ... More >>

Dear Internet: All The Snickering About Madonna's Age Is Getting Real Old

This week Madonna's 12th studio album and dive into the deep end of the EDM pool, MDNA, came out. I didn't like it very much. But what I like even less is the sexism-tinged age-baiting that the record seems to be inspiring in so many critics. Forbes was likely the worst offender of the bunch, going ... More >>

LMFAO at American Airlines Center, Madonna Adds Second Show, Sleigh Bells and This Week's Show Announcements

​When we first heard that LMFAO were going to be performing at American Airlines Center on Friday, June 15, we were like, WTF! Then we started thinking about how funny they looked at the Super Bowl half time show with Madonna, at which point we started LOLing so hard we began ROFL. Tickets for the ... More >>

Madonna! Is! Coming! To! Dallas!

With all our Madonna pre- and post-Super Bowl fanaticism in the bag, of course she's going to announce her world tour. And she's coming to American Airlines Center on Saturday, October 20, roughly six months after her new album, MDNA, comes out. Tickets go on sale Monday, February 27, at 10 A.M. S ... More >>

Culture Club: A Few Thoughts on Madonna's Halftime Performance

If I had to explain Madonna's Super Bowl performance in one word that isn't followed by question marks and exclamation points, it would be synergy. She was in a commercial before the event, and her new song, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" was featured afterwards. OK, fine, the Super Bowl is commerce, and ... More >>

The 20 Best Madonna Songs You Won't Hear at the Super Bowl

I've paid entirely too much attention to Madonna since the age of six, when I stood in front of a neighbor's TV, captivated by the "Lucky Star" video. And, no matter how annoying and schoolmarmish the artist has become in her 40s and 50s, part of me will always stop and stare when she's in my line o ... More >>

The Daily Fail: Madonna

Celebrities like to jump on all sorts of international social causes whether it's helping out Haitian earthquake victims or the ever popular help for Darfur are just a couple of them. Mostly, a lot of them shy away from social causes within our own borders, for whatever reason. (Can we get some e ... More >>
