madonna released her latest studio album, mdna, in march 2012. on her tour to support the record, she courted controversy. madonna occasionally flashed her audiences and used nazi imagery while performing in france. at a concert in st. petersburg, russia, she spoke out in support of lgbt rights, which had landed her in legal trouble. she was sued for more than $ 10 million for breaking a law against promoting homosexuality to minors, but charges were later dismissed .

there were always priests and nuns in my house growing up .

once in new york, madonna paid her rent with a handful of odd jobs, including nude art modeling; serving at the russian tea room; and performing for the american dance center. in 1979, madonna began dating dan gilroy, one of the founding members of a ska influenced pop - punk band called breakfast club. gilroy introduced madonna to the head of a vaudeville review in paris, and she spent some time in france working as a showgirl. during this trip she fell in love with the combination of singing and performing .

but studio wouldn’t have lasted forever anyway. no club does. “people remember it better than it was, ” rubell admits. “there were many dull nights. ” during the year when rubell and schrager were “away, ” studio paid the rent by throwing some black parties on saturday nights. when the celebrity convicts returned they gave a big opening splash, on september 15, 1981, but the moment had obviously passed, and in fact they had already sold their interest in the club to mark fleischman. the old opera house (its first, 1927 incarnation) stayed haunted until it was finally shut—at least under the name studio 54—last spring .
studio definitely stayed in the black. it was a cash business, and the greenbacks were abundant. on a busy weekend night an estimated $ 70, 000 was floating around the club. when the i. r. s. finally busted studio, it seized ian schrager there, along with the ledgers and five ounces of cocaine, and discovered garbage bags full of cash hidden in the club’s basement and financial records stashed behind ceiling panels .

madonna later said .
i think that & apos; s when i really thought about how i wanted to do something else and get away from all that .
she rebelled against her traditional upbringing by turning her conservative clothing into revealing outfits, frequenting underground gay nightclubs and rejecting her religious background .
using the success of the song as leverage, madonna convinced sire to produce the full - length album madonna in 1983. the album was a slow but steady success, and included the hit singles
borderline ,
lucky star
and
holiday .
soon, girls all over the country were imitating madonna & apos; s distinct sense of fashion, which included fishnet stockings, lace lingerie, fingerless gloves and large crucifix necklaces .
holiday

to rule the world .

“he invited me to open a studio 54 in madrid, ” said fleischman. “it was a casual thing. i should have jumped on it… i guess he could have helped me. i wish i had taken his offer. ”
the mudd club was silver. silver because of the punky silver chain that its owner, steve mass, slung out front at the door as a joke on studio’s velvet rope. silver because of the silver chains and accessories worn by its menacing - looking regulars, who, if you happened to bump into one, would invariably shy away with a polite “excuse me. ” silver because it was, to use mass’s favorite word, a “reaction” to studio’s gold .
after their marriage in 1955, the couple moved to pontiac, michigan, to be close to tony & apos; s job as a defense engineer. madonna was born three years later, during a visit with family in bay city. the third of six children, madonna learned early on how to handle her role as the middle child, admitting that she was
the sissy of the family
who often used her feminine wiles to get her way .
as of october 2013, madonna had sold an estimated 305, 600, 000 albums. her best - sellers are the immaculate collection (1990, 30 million copies sold) and true blue (1986, 25 million copies sold) .
what are some of your wildest moments at studio 54 that you can talk about? [ laughs ] ohh, i can’t, i can’t. it’s coming in my book – i’d say within the next 12 to 18 months. the outline is done .
what rubell learned mostly from addison was the cash cachet of bisexuality. there was no finer insurance at the time for a club’s success. so when studio opened in 1977, rubell told bob colacello, “out” columnist for andy warhol’s interview magazine—which was often accused of serving as an in - house organ for studio—“it’s bisexual. very bisexual. very, very, very bisexual. and that’s how we choose the crowd, too. in other words, we want everybody to be fun and good - looking. ”
madonna not only co - starred in the penny marshall baseball drama a league of their own, but she also helped out with the soundtrack, landing her tenth no. 1 hit with the ballad
this used to be my playground .
the loss of her mother significantly affected madonna & apos; s adolescence. haunted by the memories of her mother & apos; s frailty and passive demeanor during her final days, madonna was determined to make her own voice heard .
i think the biggest reason i was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother ,
she says .
for example, mothers teach you manners. and i absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations .
rumbling over potholes, he speeds up and up. “the hollywood studio system had that quality; the extravagance of what they did in the thirties has never been matched, including star wars and all that special - effects junk. that’s close to my conception. ”
the club rubell wandered into was everything studio wasn’t, or, more exactly, wasn’t everything studio was. its walls were all gray. music blared from a record player resting on a bar covered with pilots’ charts, the rock ’n’ roll lps changed by a sullen bartender. a single annoying strobe flashed in the middle of the room. it was a down lounge, a slap in the face, with a young crowd wearing, as the jacket of preference, black leather. no disco. no fireworks. no ford models .
jimmy iovine will be honored by the recording academy' s producers and engineers wing on wednesday, feb. 8 at the village recording studio (1616 butler ave. , los angeles). the fifth annual event is co - chaired by bono and dr. dre .

on the eve of her 50th birthday in 2008, madonna faced more challenges in her personal life. she spent much of the previous year fighting allegations that she circumvented traditional malawi laws to bring home her newly adopted son, david banda, whom she had been raising since 2006. critics accused madonna of using her vast wealth to fast - track the adoption process, a charge she vigorously denied. a coalition of 67 local rights groups challenged the interim custody order on the grounds that existing laws in malawi do not allow for international adoptions .
despite the public outcry, madonna had become more popular than ever. the like a prayer album spawned a no. 1 title track as well as additional hits like
express yourself ,
cherish ,
keep it together
and
oh father .
by 1991, she had achieved 21 top 10 hits in the united states and sold more than 70 million albums internationally, generating $ 1. 2 billion in sales. committed to controlling her career, madonna helped found maverick records, a label under the warner music group, in april of 1992 .
madonna & apos; s application to permanently adopt the boy was approved by malawai & apos; s high court on may 28, 2008, the pop star & apos; s lawyer said .
it & apos; s a beautiful and positive judgment ,
alan chinula told reporters .
finally the court has granted madonna full adoption rights of the boy... . it & apos; s all over, thank god .
she decided to adopt from malawai again, and in june 2009, after another legal battle, was granted custody of mercy james .
fox won, which wasn' t surprising given this was an era where studios ruled supreme over actors as the norm. brando had to pay $ 75, 000 for the delay he caused to the egyptian, and he also had to appear in another movie for the studio, which would be desiree .
madonna received another lukewarm reception when it was announced she would be performing at super bowl xlvi in february 2012. in advance of the show, many football fans complained about her selection as part of the halftime entertainment. she put on an impressive show, however, which featured her latest single
give me all your luvin & apos; .
and this time around, it wasn & apos; t madonna who created waves during the show. her musical guest, m. i. a. , provoked an outcry when she used an obscene hand gesture in her live performance .
studio 54 was never the same again. fleischman said the new owners tried to charge celebrities for drinks and admission when they once entered for free, luring “thousands of people who paid. ” the club shut down in the late ‘80s and the space remained vacant until 1998. it’s currently the roundabout theatre company .
in 2011, madonna released her latest film project, w. e. , about the american divorcée wallis simpson and her romance with britain & apos; s king edward viii, contrasted with a more contemporary relationship. edward gave up his crown to marry simpson, and the couple became known as the duke and duchess of windsor. working behind the camera, madonna co - wrote and directed this romantic drama, which received decidedly mixed reviews. she, however, did pick up a golden globe for an original song she co - wrote and sung for the film ,
masterpiece .
the remarkable, hyper - ambitious material girl who never stops reinventing herself, madonna is a seven - time grammy award - winner who has sold over three hundred million records and cds to adoring fans worldwide. her film career, however, is another story. her performances have consistently drawn ...
steve rubell learned many lessons from addison—they had actually been in business together at the enchanted garden and a club in boston, 15 lands - downe, until what rubell calls “different creative ideas” arose. le jardin was a top hat of white rabbits for studio. like the later rubell, addison used to lurk in the shadows near his doorman, approving who went in. addison invented busboys in white satin basketball shorts who would speed athletically around the floor of le jardin delivering trays of drinks, boom boom. those boy wonders were everywhere by the end of the decade—in green - tinted visors at infinity, shirtless and muscular at studio 54 .
she then made the move from the big screen to the london west end stage in the play up for grabs (2002), and wrote her first children & apos; s book, the english roses, which was published in 2003, the same year as the release of her album american life. madonna was inducted into the inaugural uk music hall of fame in 2004, and her next album confessions on a dancefloor came out the following year. around this time madonna became the artist with the most gold certified singles in the u. s. , beating the beatles & apos; longstanding record .
she is such a renowned popstar that she has even inspired a guinness world records attempt for the largest gathering of people dressed as madonna. the 2014 fool' s paradise drag party (usa) set the record with an incredible 440 people in fire island pines, new york, usa, in august 2014 .
at the 2006 moodyz awards, a competition among the major companies affiliated with the hokuto corporation, haga won the 5th place best director award. for the 2009 av grand prix, madonna nominated haga' s raped female teacher, starring reiko makihara, which won one of the special awards for mature woman videos .
the american pop singer - songwriter (b. robert zimmerman, 24 may 1941) was 73 years 266 days old when he debuted at no. 1 on the uk' s official albums chart with his 36th studio set, shadows in the night, on 14 february 2015 and became the oldest uk charts topper (male) .
after that, as the book casting might - have - beens describes, 20th century fox received a letter from brando' s psychiatrist, which told the studio that the star was
too sick
to appear in the film. fox didn' t take this well, and in turn sued brando for reneging on his deal .
iovine: i' m thrilled! i couldn' t be happier. we lost a whole generation to audio. and my whole life and career is based on sound. it’s how dre and i bonded in the beginning - - over the sound of the track. ground zero for me is audio. every system i have in my house or my car, they' re all tuned exactly the same. that' s the art - - there' s a feel that those records have when kanye goes in the studio, or bono or rick rubin goes in the studio. what we' re trying is to replicate what we' ve done in studios for years .
madonna had released the greatest hits album the immaculate collection in 1990, following that years later with something to remember (1995), a round - up of her balladry that included the new song
you & apos; ll see .
then in 1998, she released ray of light, a critically - acclaimed outing that had her delving into electronica and spiritual exploration with the help of producer william orbit. more hits came in the form of songs like
frozen
and
the power of good - bye .
madonna also earned three grammys, two for the top 5 title track and one for the ray of light album itself .
unlike events at today’s p. r. palaces, palladium and the tunnel, where every night is a party, often promotional, parties at studio 54 were special. the party that launched studio was halston’s birthday party for bianca jagger, at which a naked black giant, his whole body covered in gold glitter, led bianca around on a white horse. elizabeth taylor’s birthday party was punctuated by a huge cake in the shape of the curvaceous actress: she took a slice off her own vanilla tit. for halloween 1977, the year of star wars —the movie, not the defense policy—everyone came dressed as their favorites: darth vader, or princess leia, or r2 - d2 .
she’s got the disposition (and the thick eyebrows) to keep up with madonna’s likeness, and, after taking smaller roles in bigger productions (suicide squad, pan) she’s primed for a major hit of her own. leading blond ambition could be the perfect way for her to transition from supporting player to hollywood’s center stage .
as the world’s top selling female artist of all time madonna is not only the queen of pop but one of the most influential artists on modern music. since her debut album, released in 1983, she has worked tirelessly to reinvent herself and her music through three decades and has built a huge and dedicated fan base worldwide .
in a just - surfaced letter that madonna allegedly wrote to her photographer pal steven meisel back in 1991, when she was in chicago filming
a league of their own
with geena davis, the pop singer calls her co - star a
barbie doll
and says ,
i have made a few friends but they are athletes, not actresses. i hate actresses, they have nothing on the house of extravaganza .
she also writes ,
i would love to do this book thing with you so let' s talk soon .
madonna and meisel would collaborate later on her controversial book ,
sex .
( letters of note )
the first of the dim clubs was probably scotty taylor’s milkbar, which opened in 1985 on lower seventh avenue. named after the stylized boîte in a clockwork orange, this cramped four - story club with glowing lunar - white walls and concealed pastel neon tubes was designed by arthur weinstein’s wife, colleen. it was a new hideaway for those cakewalking celebutantes who had shuffled from area to the mike todd room, only to begin to feel agoraphobic in the too democratic palladium. the host, street - mannered scotty, actually got his start in the night business by bartending for steve rubell at the enchanted garden and studio 54—“i was maybe the only guy working at studio at first who was straight. ”
the official version of rebel heart, madonna & apos; s 13th full - length release, was released on march 10, 2015, with the deluxe version consisting of 19 tracks. the album is noticeably more stylistically diverse than its predecessors in terms of musical production, lyrically veering from vividly sexual provocation and contemporary boasting to quieter reflection .
as the world’s biggest selling female artist of all time madonna is not just the queen of pop but one of the most influential artists on modern music. since her debut album, released in 1983, she has worked tirelessly to reinvent herself and her music through three extremely successful decades and has built a huge and dedicated fan base worldwide .
until howard stein opened xenon (derisively labeled “xerox” by studio 54 regulars), and addison opened new york new york, studio 54 had no competition. models, after a grueling day standing in front of golden reflectors, enduring designer haircuts, being stuck with little pins, didn’t have to ask, “where are you going tonight? ” the question was simply “what time are you getting there? ” hundreds of that crowd still have recorded in the handheld cameras of their minds the same landscape: the long mirrored entrance hall; the charged dance floor redolent with perfumes early in the evening, poppers later on; the plush, shadowy balconies, languorous and pansexual, throbbing to the heartbeat of the disco music down below .
it didn’t mean that their parents still didn’t keep coming because they did... it was an interesting time to see this young crowd get along with calvin klein, liza minnelli, andy warhol — they all kept coming. studio 54 became a habit for a lot of people… once you were inside, it felt like nothing could happen to you. ”
through 2014, madonna was reportedly at work on her next album, said to be collaborating with producers like avicii and diplo as seen via instagram. in december of that year, however, more than a dozen songs planned for her 2015 album rebel heart were leaked online. (an israeli singer was later arrested and indicted for the thefts. )
that month, madonna also performed lead single
living for love
live at the 57th annual grammy with a bull and matador theme. more than two weeks later she performed the song at the brit awards, but fell down a short flight of stairs due to a wardrobe mishap, with the singer later reporting that she & apos; d suffered whiplash .
but madonna balanced this insubordinate side of her personality with a drive for perfectionism and high achievement. she was a straight - a student, cheerleader and disciplined dancer who graduated from high school a semester earlier than her peers. in 1976, her hard work earned her the attentions of the university of michigan, which offered her a full scholarship to their dance program .
in 2017, madonna attempted to legally halt the auction of several of her personal items, then in the possession of ex - personal assistant darlene lutz. however, the singer had previously signed a release from
any and all
future claims against her former friend and employee, and as such a judge ruled that the disputed auction could continue the following year .
iovine: they' re great artists. and they made really good albums, both of them. i heard both records before we made the deal and i was really honored that they wanted to be on interscope - - stunned, to be honest, i didn' t know either of them well. i know eddie [ van halen ] and madonna a little bit, . guy oseary (madonna’s manager) is an incredible guy and one of the coolest people i’ve ever met in the business. the opportunity was there and the people at live nation were really supportive. nowadays, everybody goes label shopping, and these people were, like, “i want to work with interscope. ” so i said, “yes, great! ”
projecting animated images of vogue magazine, classic hollywood stars and booming loudspeakers, the floor was a visually dynamic display upon which madonna, joined by younger pop stars such as nicki minaj, m. i. a. , cee lo green and lmfao, debuted her new single “give me all your luvin’” and revisited old hits “vogue, ” “music” and “like a prayer. ”
painters became the new celebrities at the clubs, replacing the designers of the seventies. at studio, whenever calvin klein or halsten leaned at the carousel bar, a line of young kids would form to try to meet them. it seemed they all wanted to be models in those days. at area and palladium, the artists and downtown art dealers were the big draws. art was fashionable .
fleischman also became a comrade to dodi fayed, the son of egyptian billionaire mohamed al - fayed. the playboy, who reportedly had an insatiable appetite for women, even traveled down the dangerous streets of downtown manhattan after studio 54 would close up for the night at 5 a. m. to keep the partying going, fleischman claimed. fleischman said fayed frequently visited crisco disco, a popular gay discotheque .
it’s tempting, too, to see steve rubell as hyperactively there through all of them. like a mercury in penny loafers. his studio 54 was the olympus of the golden age. he hotfooted it down quite early on to the mudd club, which ushered in the silver age of punk downtown. (rubell did spend a good part of this age behind the silver bars of a minimum - security prison for tax evasion at studio. but what could be more punk ?) his palladium was the premier club of the bronze age, trying a bit unsuccessfully to filter the golden and silver hues of the past into a winning fusion of uptown and downtown. and now, with rumors of a supper club opening in the fall in one of his recently purchased hotels, he’s intimately involved in the dim age .
quiet, clean, spacious, charming, historic, warm, friendly, reasonable. the proprietor met us with a warm smile and a jar of honey from her family farm. this was our greeting as we walked into the door of madonna studios. we felt like we had walked into our own house and a favorite sister was waiting to greet us. thomias was out ...
studio 54 marked the rise of performance art, now perhaps the dominant collective art form in manhattan nightlife. before then, drag queens had cornered the market on folk - camp costumes. at studio, everyone dressed up. eric goode, today the owner of the downtown club area, remembers wearing his pj’s. rollerena, a gent rumored to be a wall street broker by day, roller - skated in nightly dressed in a taffeta gown, waving a starry fairy - god - mother wand. and there was disco sally, the seventy - year - old grandmother who just loved to dance. this game of disguising the everyday self in glam rags, or of turning into a stock character, was tailor - made for a society designed more and more as an exhibition of itself. after all, it was too noisy, and too late, to communicate with words .
in 1977, during her undergraduate studies at michigan, madonna was awarded a six - week scholarship to study with the alvin ailey american dance theater in new york city, followed by a rare opportunity to perform with choreographer pearl lang in 1978. at the urging of her dance instructor, the budding star dropped out of college after only two years of study in order to move to new york and further her dance career .
in the next five years, madonna & apos; s life was a whirlwind of activity. on august 16, 1985, she married actor sean penn and co - starred with him in the film shanghai surprise (1986). she then went on to star in three more movies over the next few years: who & apos; s that girl (1987), bloodhounds of broadway (1989) and dick tracy (1990). madonna & apos; s soundtrack album i & apos; m breathless: music from and inspired by the film dick tracy resulted in two top 10 hits :
vogue
and
hanky panky .
she also released four more hit albums: true blue (1986), who & apos; s that girl (1987), you can dance (1987) and like a prayer (1989) .
this was followed by the debut of madonna & apos; s 1989
like a prayer
video, which was to be aired on mtv as part of a lucrative pepsi endorsement. the video featured interracial relationship themes, burning crosses and a blending of sexual innuendo and religious ideologies. as a result of the video, pope john paul ii urged fans not to attend her concerts in italy, and pepsi pulled their endorsement of the star .
to counterattack the theft, madonna released six songs online before christmas, with the tracks reaching the top 10 of itunes & apos; charts in various countries. however, more controversy followed in january when the singer released via instagram doctored portraits of prominent leaders and artists like nelson mandela and bob marley bound by black chord, mirroring the cover art of her forthcoming album. and in early february 2015, there was another album leak of rebel heart .
the current dim age isn’t dim because of an absence of fun. and certainly not because fewer people are going out. (when studio 54 opened, rubell estimates, there were five thousand people out on a saturday night. now the census is closer to 40, 000 .) it’s dim only because of a trend to small, intimate, dimly lit supper clubs, cocktail lounges, and rock dens. tiny torch clubs are the tock in response to palladium’s tick .
by 1996, madonna had proven her versatility as a star in both film and music. she starred in the critically acclaimed screen adaptation of the andrew lloyd webber musical evita (1996), which also featured antonio banderas. she won a golden globe for best performance by an actress in a motion picture - comedy or musical, and in the film she performed
you must love me ,
which earned an academy award for music, original song .
pop music singer madonna was born in bay city, michigan on august 16, 1958. in 1981, she went solo as a pop singer and became a sensation on the then male - dominated & apos; 80s music scene. by 1991, she had achieved 21 top 10 hits in the united states and sold more than 70 million albums internationally. in january 2008, she was named the world & apos; s wealthiest female musician by forbes magazine .
jellybean benitez isn’t the kind of superstar who gets mobbed by adoring fans whenever he walks down the street – at least these days, now that he’s not dating madonna anymore. but the old - school dj from new york is a true dance - music pioneer, a shaper of history who produced or remixed many of the material girl’s hits in the early ‘80s, including “holiday, ” “lucky star” and “borderline, ” plus his own enduring tracks including “sidewalk talk. ”
when studio finally did open—on april 26, 1977—every other club in town dropped dead. by the end of that summer (when the tanned returned from fire island and points beyond), hurrah’s had completely dissipated. the fabulous people had fled to higher ground. asked why, weinstein, who until recently could be seen making the rounds in black leather vest, black chinos, and pointy boots at the milkbar, where he “consulted, ” replies bluntly: “rubell just built a better mousetrap. ”
“at studio 54, we were not allowed to serve liquor after 4, and we normally closed by 5, ” said fleischman. “but people didn’t want to sleep. they were all hopped up on whatever drugs they were taking. so we all piled into limos and head down to chelsea… those after - hours clubs would stay open until noon. but they were completely illegal. and that’s what made it so fun. there was drinking, everyone was doing cocaine and poppers. it was quite the scene. ”
aside from the hot collaboration news, fans were treated to an up - close look at madonna' s forearms, complete with a (we' re guessing) sharpie - made dinosaur tattoo to match diplo' s (it' s a diplodocus … get it ?), plus fingerless mittens and some golden wrist bling. says the caption ,
working with @ diplo got me like... ...... ...... . whaaaaat ?
if you were casting blond ambition solely based on physicality, few actresses seem better suited for the part than imogen poots. the london native has a keen ability to excel in roles where she’s fighting back against seemingly insurmountable odds, whether it’s hordes of zombies in 28 weeks later or murderous neo - nazi skinheads in green room, and she’d be suited to challenge the patriarchy — just like madonna did at the dawn of her career — amid the backdrop of new york city grit in blond ambition .
as always, madonna mixed her drive for success with her penchant for scandalous behavior. it started with her controversial 1985 performance of her hit single
like a virgin
on the mtv music awards, which involved writhing around suggestively onstage in a wedding dress. then came her marriage to penn, which was marred by reports of domestic violence and his assault of a photographer—behavior that landed him a month & apos; s jail time and eventually led to the couple & apos; s very public divorce .
iovine: i' m happy with studio infiltration, but i' m thrilled when i see 12 - to 20 - year olds walking down the street with beats and not two - dollar earbuds. the math doesn' t work when they have a $ 400 mp3 player. so seeing young people caring about sound again and realizing that it' s not cool to not have good sound, that means a lot. that' s how i grew up - - it wasn' t cool to not have a good system .
then he heard from carmen d’alessio that a cbs television studio on west fifty - fourth street was up for sale. uva harden, a successful model who went on to open the men’s division at elite, had been buying the lease to the old what’s my line studio with the backing of the marlborough gallery—an early inkling of today’s all - powerful art world—nightclub complex. as paul garcia, an ex - model with swarthy, cavingin bogart looks, who has been involved in a series of clubs culminating in last year’s world, tells the story, “uva had all these beautiful babes and he used to go to hurrah’s. he kept saying, ‘the time’s right to get a huge place, make an enormous disco—it’ll be a big success. pay a disc jockey seventy - five or a hundred dollars a night and that’s your entertainment overhead. ’ ” unfortunately for uva and his babes, marlborough gallery lost a court case to the heirs of the mark rothko estate and, faced with a $ 7. 3 million settlement, it pulled out a week before a major payment .
benitez – real name john (he got his nickname from his sister because of his initials, j. b .) – also was a resident dj at the infamous studio 54 nightclub in manhattan during its heyday in the late ‘70s. but the 40 - year veteran will be performing at a much more low - key gig thursday night at the perez art museum miami, where super - cool party promoter poplife will present an event featuring interactive art, affordable drinks and gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, and soulful house and classic disco from jellybean .
did you start dating madonna before producing her music? yeah, it was right before – we met at the [ new york club ] funhouse. it was quite common for record companies to bring by new artists, and we met, and she asked me if i’d be interested in working on some of her songs. and the rest is history, so to speak. we started working on stuff, then we started dating, then we started living together. and after about two years we broke up, and remain really good friends.
