The ‘Good Girl Gone Wild’ singer hit back at President Joyce Banda’s claims she demanded VIP treatment – including preferential treatment for herself and her entourage at an airport, and an audience with the nation’s leader – during her recent visit to the African country to oversee her charity Raising Malawi, and has accused the president of spreading “lies”.

In a statement released via her charity, the 54-year-old star said: “I’m saddened that Malawi’s President Joyce Banda has chosen to release lies about what we’ve accomplished, my intentions, how I personally conducted myself while visiting Malawi and other untruths. I have no intentions of being distracted by these ridiculous allegations.”

The pop superstar – who has two adopted children from the poverty-stricken country, David and Mercy – went on to insist the political feud would not deter her from continuing with her charity work, which includes building schools to education the nation’s young children.

She wrote: “I came to Malawi seven years ago with honourable intentions. I returned earlier this month to view the new schools we built. I did not ever ask or demand special treatment at the airport or elsewhere during my visit. I will not be distracted or discouraged by other people’s political agendas. I made a promise to the children of Malawi and I am keeping that promise.”

Madonna’s statement comes just 24 hours after Banda’s government released a scathing statement, alleging that the ‘Hung Up’ hitmaker feels her government should have “rolled out a red carpet and blasted the 21-gun salute in her honour because she believes that as a musician, the whiff of whose repute flies across international boundaries, she automatically is a candidate for VIP treatment.”

Anne Hathaway is celebrating New Year’s Eve with Madonna.

The ‘Les Miserables’ actress – who married Adam Shulman in Big Sur, California in late September – is set to toast the start of 2013 by singing alongside the 54-year-old ‘Celebration’ singer at a star-studded bash organised by her wedding dress designer Valentino in Switzerland.

A source told the New York Post’s Page Six, that the 29-year-old actress is staying at the designer and his partner Giancarlo Giammetti’s luxurious chalet in the exclusive mountain resort of Gstaad.

Valentino is throwing a New Year’s Eve (NYE) party tonight (31.12.12) at the members-only Eagle Ski Club.

The insider said: “Rumours are flying that both Madonna and Anne Hathaway will take turns serenading the legendary designer, and they might even do a duet at midnight. Valentino’s NYE bash is the hottest ticket in Europe, and people are flying in from all over the world for it. Valentino is reportedly spending 500,000 euros on caviar, champagne, music, food, décor and fireworks at Wasserngrat Mountain.”

Madonna is said to be attending the bash with her daughter Lourdes, 16, who have been spotted skiing in the area in recent days, while Anne will have her husband there to kiss him at midnight.

Madonna is insecure about her thighs, and spent months with her personal trainer working on toning them for her ‘MDNA Tour’.

Madonna is insecure about her thighs.

The ‘Girl Gone Wild’ singer doesn’t like her upper legs and spent months working on getting them toned so she felt confident showing them off during performances on her ‘MDNA Tour’.

The pop superstar’s personal trainer Nicole Winhoffer said: “‘We’re all born with an area we’re insecure about and she thinks it’s her thighs so we spend a lot of time moulding and sculpting. She works very hard on it.”

Nicole, 28, has worked with Madonna, 54, for three years, and says she trains for between one and two hours every day solo as well as with her dancers and backing singers who are on tour with her.

Speaking about the workout routine she follows with the star, Nicole added to the current issue of new! magazine: “I look to tighten the back of the arms, to cinch the waist, to flatten the lower abdominals, to work on the inner and outer definition of the thighs and to raise the butt.

“[Its all about] burning calories and achieving muscle tone.”

Nicole also admits she is impressed by Madonna’s dedication and work ethic, training so hard while also working and being a full time mother to Lourdes, 16, Rocco, 12, David, seven and Mercy, six.

Madonna performed with Psy in New York last night (13.11.12).

The ‘Girl Gone Wild’ singer – who is currently on her worldwide ‘MDNA Tour’ – unveiled the South Korean pop sensation as her special guest at the concert at the city’s Madison Square Garden, where they performed a mash-up of her song ‘Give It To Me’ and his cult smash ‘Gangnam Style’.

Madonna even performed Psy’s ‘horse’ dance – copied by stars including Mel B and Heidi Klum – and at one point crawled between his legs.

The event comes just a week after the 54-year-old star was “rejected” by Lady Gaga when she asked her to sing with her on stage.

She told a crowd in Minnesota earlier this month: “I have the best fans in the whole world. So take that, Lady Gaga.

“You know, I invited her to sing with me on stage but she turned me down. It’s OK. I’ve been rejected before. It’s good to build character.”

Madonna has previously criticised Lady Gaga for copying her song ‘Express Yourself’ on her hit ‘Born This Way’.

She said: “I thought, this is a wonderful way to redo my song. I mean, I recognised the chord changes. I thought it was… interesting.”

I do not care for those who vote, as long as you vote for Obama

Leaving aside the absurdity of the statement, an artist like you, who for years have fought for the rights of women and homosexuals, certainly could not siding with the Republican candidate Mitt Romney. The sympathy of Mrs. Ciccone should not take anyone by surprise, yet some of the audience (a minority) did not like the words of the pop-star and have disputes with the only weapon available to the voice.

Incredulous, Lady then asked those present:

They’re whistling?

It should not be easy for a multi-billion dollar being contradicted their workplace. Yet it happened. Preferring to avoid further disputes, Madonna stated:

I do not care for those who voted. Do not assume that right. Go and vote.

Watched the latest misadventures of which were the star, Madonna this time it went well. In Paris, just a few months ago, the situation had deteriorated in a heartbeat. Better get to sing Material Girl for the millionth time rather than granting a space of expression to the crowd.

Madonna puts in a 110 per cent effort to keep herself in shape.

The 54-year-old singer works with Nicole Winhoffer – who is the creative director of her Hard Candy Fitness gyms – to maintain her incredible figure and the trainer says it is all about putting plenty of hard work.

Nicole told Us Weekly: “It’s hard work, but make time and put in 110 per cent and you will see results.

“The only constant thing is change. Your workouts should be diversified to challenge the mind and body. If your mind and body are not challenged, you won’t see results.”

Nicole also encourages the ‘Material Girl’ singer to set goals for herself to stay on target.

She explained: “It’s good to set goals. When you’re specific about what you are reaching toward, you will get what you want.

“Concentrating on your goals will lead them to you. Believe in yourself and work at it.”

“It’s not what you are doing but how you are doing it. Sweating is a direct result of performance – it means you are doing it right. Pay attention to the exercise, what muscles you are working, how it feels, and if it challenges you. Do the things that are challenging, and break through the obstacles.”

In March 2011, the police stopped Grzegorz Matlok, twenty-nine that went into the house Madonna, at 5 am, to be able to lay hands on some of his personal items, while another historic pop star’s stalker, Robert Dewey Hoskins that only a few months ago ran psychiatric hospital, only to be up drawing. But the plank does not end here, because another pseudo ‘persecutor’ comes into play, but emerged victorious.

There are in fact talking about Robert Linhart. Two years ago, the man parked his SUV outside the apartment pavement artist in New York City, Here, armed with a spray can, Robert left messages of love to the singer, writing on a large sheet phrases such as “Tell me yes or no. If it’s yes, my dream will come true. If not, I’ll go. Madonna, I need you. “Call the police, the man was arrested, with lots of ice breakers seized and held as ‘proof’. The lawyer for the fireman, because this would be the real job of the alleged stalker, but unable to bring down all the charges.

The New York judge has determined that Linhart was not actually doing anything wrong. If you do not leave a message of love. A little ‘disturbing’? To say the least. But not Go and tell the American justice system.

A comfortable life, that’s for sure, knowledge scream, open doors everywhere and a future proof. But a continuous dialogue with those who begot you, you already know that they can never even ‘approach’, in purely artistic terms. The no smaller Lourdes would find a remedy to the ‘problem’. That is to say goodbye to the world of show business. And simply do more.

Why, should not be the only natural ‘heir’ by Madonna? Apparently not. Lourdes Maria would start to peel away from the dazzling lights of show business. Or at least at the moment, since he has only 16 years old and has always lived with the paparazzi behind her. According to the English Sun reported, in fact, the young Lourdes would not see the hour to leave the nest maternal

“Lourdes can not wait to leave home and start college. He has already planned everything. Madonna is her mother but she is rebelling. Are you tired of the spotlight and that is why it never goes on subsided during the concerts of Madonna. ”

According to the magazine, Lourdes would like to study at Bard College in New York, the famous academy of fine arts in the Big Apple, paying the straight line their own pockets, thanks to that earned by the clothing line Material Girl. But what will mum Madonna about it? Probably nothing, so as to reach even to ‘encourage you.’ Moreover, the pop star was literally built on its own, landing in New York at the age of 19 with only $ 35 in his pocket. Today, after 35 years, has approximately 500 million in the bank.

Lady, lady he is, has never thrown into the fray, preferring silence with respect to acid and direct response. A couple of weeks ago ‘honored’ Elton dedicating their song triumphant Golden (Masterpiece) during a concert, thus tending first the hand of peace.

Peace is now official, who would be signed in a restaurant in the south of France, where the two were caught laughing and chatting like old friends. Guests of the restaurant ‘La Petite Maison’, who wants Elton as a regular customer, the two stars were awarded to the astonished present even a hug from a meal, writing an end to a controversy which has become almost cloying. Because there is no apparent reason for hatred before two similar legends. So why each other’s throats, when you can live without fear?

They had spent hundreds of dollars to see it in the privacy of Olympia; Madonna has rewarded them with a concert in less than an hour. It was precisely the brevity of this second Parisian performance to unleash the furious reaction of the fans of Ms. Ciccone.

After the exhibition, the public has rightly called for an encore. Nothing to do the diva you are no longer showed up. At this point the attendees started throwing bottles and shouting “boo” and sing the first” repay ” (give us back the money) and then ” slut “. The spokesman for the singer has not released any statement about it, but we doubt that Madonna has enjoyed the chants to his address.
