Britney Spears - New pop princess!!!

If pop queen Madonna is the mother of reinvention, and she surely is, then pop princess Britney Spears is undoubtedly the daughter of redemption.

The embattled singer's resurrection, after a year of living dangerously, officially begins Tuesday with the release of Circus, her aptly-titled CD, which is landing hot on the heels of an intimate and sympathetic television documentary, a drought-ending batch of MTV Video Music Awards and a just-announced 2009 world tour.

Madonna @ 50+

The iconic singer celebrates a huge milestone as she turns 50.Some un-doctored, un-photoshopped pics of Madonna have leaked to the internet from a photoshoot she did for her Hard Candy album. As you can see, this is NOT the kind of thing Madonna wants the public to see. Unlike all those airbrushed, professional shots we are used to seeing, this is the real Madonna, and it’s kind of a shock to see considering the lengths she goes to in order to protect her “image.”

Madonna turned 50 this year. That’s a milestone I’d say, half a century, five decades of being a crazy attention-craving star — no small feat to still be an iconic sex-symbol at 50. But at some point, even Madonna’s going to have to throw the towel in and call it a day. She can’t be a sex-kitten forever. Eventually, even kittens grow up to be crotchety, arthritic old pusses, and Madonna’s no different.

I know some 50-year olds. Some look really great, some look a little less than stellar and most just look their age. A few wrinkles here, a few aches and pains, but no worse for wear.
To be fair, Madonna looks pretty good for her age, her REAL age, with her REAL face, without the smoke and mirrors, she does NOT however, look younger than 50, as she clearly wishes she did. And what this tells me is no matter how much you spend on beauty products, plastic surgery, specially blessed Kaballah or 3-hour a day killer workouts, you are what you are.

Madonna, embrace your age and come to terms with it. It’s good to be 50 — it certainly beats the alternative.

Nude photo of 20-year-old Madonna on auction block

NEW YORK (AP) — A nude photo of Madonna, taken before erotic songs and risque costumes catapulted her to superstardom, is expected to sell for at least $10,000, Christie's auction house says.
Madonna, then known as Madonna Louise Ciccone, may have earned as little as $25 for the 1979 modeling session.
The raw, full frontal black-and-white image, taken by Lee Friedlander, appeared in Playboy in 1985 and is to be auctioned Feb. 12. Madonna was a 20-year-old dancer trying to make ends meet when she answered Friedlander's newspaper ad seeking a nude model, said Matthieu Humery, head of Christie's photography department.
Humery said this week that six photos from the shoot were sold to Playboy and the one up for auction is "maybe the most explicit one."
"For Friedlander it is a very typical way of taking pictures of a woman," he said. "He likes very natural women. It reflects Friedlander's aesthetic.
"There's not a hint of glamorizing," he added. "That's what makes it powerful."
He said he knows of no other prints of the black-and-white photo.
Friedlander has said of the photo session that Madonna "seemed very confident, a street-wise girl. She told me she was putting a band together but half the kids that age are doing that. She was a good professional model."
The other five pictures from the Playboy spread were sold together in 2003 for $7,170.
Another, later photo of Madonna, by Helmut Newton, is in the auction and is also expected to fetch $10,000 to $15,000. In that shot, also sold to Playboy, Madonna is wearing lingerie, curly blond hair and a seductive expression. A man kneels beside her.
The Madonna photos are among 150 images by some of the biggest names in photography that are being sold from the collection of Leon and Michaela Constantiner.
Last month, more than 350 photographs from the New York couple's collection were auctioned. One highlight was a collection of photographs of Marilyn Monroe that were taken by Bert Stern for Vogue magazine the year Monroe died. They sold for $146,500.
Christie's say the record auction price for a nude photo is the $1.6 million paid last year for Edward Weston's 1925 "Nude."
