Madonna Bags the Cover of Brazilian Vogue Brazil

Seems like Brazil is getting a double dosing of geriatric fashion icons. First it was Naomi Campbell’s “Naomi 284″ line and now it seems the Material Girl is getting some love from the Portuguese speaking tanners.

Madonna will be on the cover of the december issue of Vogue Brazil which will feature unpublished photos by Steven Klein. The images were shot during the making of her “Get Stupid” video. 

Apparently, Madge will be hosting five concerts in Brazil and possibly the DVD of the tour will be recorded there. 

Madonna Cheats Again!

Madonna once again proved how unloyal she can be by cheating on her newest love Louis Vuitton. Madge was photographed draped in Louis Vuitton at, get this, a Gucci event. WTF?! Who does that? That’s like cheating on your husband, Oh wait she already did that so I guess I can’t be too surprised. Fine it’s like wearing your wedding ring while you cheat on your husband! Wait she did that too? If you’re going to be the face of the biggest label in the industry (Louis Vuitton of course), then why would you risk that connection by going to a Gucci event, whether you are covered in Louis or not.

Thanks JustJared.

Madonna For Louis Vuitton

Rumor has it Madonna is going to be the next face of Louis Vuitton. In fact, people are saying the ads have already been shot! Gracing the face of the Spring 2009 campaign, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott have captured Madonna in top designs. Though she’s never been a part of a Louis Vuitton campaign, she certainly has some experience with Chanel, Dior, and Dolce and Gabbana. Wonder how they’ll turn out!

Trendspark: Gap Teeth

Well this is nothing new, but it’s just something that my dentally conscious self noticed recently.

The Madonna divorce news has catapulted her face all over the papers and blogs once again.  I’ve also noticed some similar mugs.  Most notably, I took a quick glance and thought the Material Girl was on the cover of the November 2008 issue of Vogue Paris (top) for some reason.

But the above three gap-toothed lovelies are different people.  Vanessa Paradis, Lara Stone, and Madonna all proudly sport the dental oddity.  Whereas Gwen Stefani and Miranda Hobbes famously wore braces as adults, Vanessa, Lara, and Madge have not repaired their gaps.  The imperfection is a nice contrast to their otherwise fortunate genetics.

The Reinvention Of Kanye West

Then came Late Registration

Followed by Graduation

So to be 808's and Hearbreaks

Selectism recently posted an article on Kanye West and how his desire to be a pop star has resulted in him changing his music. In the article it is noted that Kanye wants to be talked about in the same ranks as Michael Jackson, Madonna and other big name pop stars, and a key to their success is the reinvention of their music. Where I do agree with that concept to a certain degree, there are still many other factors that have affected their success. Along with a reinvention of their music comes a reinvention of their style as well. Despite the whole skin color issue, Michael Jackson’s style varied as he moved through his career and the same is happening for Mr. West as well (not the skin color). Kanye has evolved from a Polo sponsored casual kid, to a classy money flaunting man, to the super trendy hip hopper, and now to the designer draped uber trendy performer. Especially with his recent work with Louis Vuitton, Kanye has transformed into the luxury brand performer, right down to his latest album which features West as a singer not a rapper. The constant change is what keep people interested in Kanye, because if it wasn’t about what he’s going to do next, well then I guess he’d be just as washed up as 50 Cent.

Activists Bash Madonna’s Shoe Choice

This is a stickup! Nobody wear gun heeled shoes and nobody gets publicly bashed! It seems to me that anti-violence groups are really cracking down on celebrities who flaunt even the tiniest amount of violent connotation. With the recent FCC crackdown on M.I.A’s song “Paper Planes,” disallowing the gun bangs and clicks to be aired on the radio and now a British anti-violence group marking Madonna’s footwear as “uncaring,” I don’t know where the line begins or ends! 

Madonna wore these killer (literally?) gun heels to the screening of her film Filth and Wisdom Monday night. These platforms were the spotlight for Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel 2009 Resort collection. But don’t jump the gun now, Lyn Costello, from Mothers Against Murder And Aggression said:

“I am horrified that Madonna can see these shoes as fashion. Celebrities have a massive part to play and an icon like Madonna should have more sense.”

I really think these heels are more of a fashion statement and less of a violence marketing campaign. And seriously, when was the last time you heard an 8-year-old say that Madonna was their idol? Now, if Hannah Montana was rocking the gun heels, then we would have some problems…
