It's no secret that Britney Spears loves pop forerunner Madonna (even enough to make out with her!). So when rumors began flying that Britney would be covering Madonna's 1983 hit "Burning Up" (watch the video below) on her upcoming "Femme Fatale" tour, they didn't seem too off-base. And sure enough, as of today it would seem this has actually been confirmed by a leaked song many suspect is meant to be a backing track for Britney's dance-heavy live show. As covers go, it's pretty straightforward, with Britney purring the lyrics in her unmistakable voice over music that sounds like it's gotten a bit of a techno update. Does this mean she's going to dress up like early '80s Madonna too, with leather jacket, bangles and bright pink lipstick? Lacey hair bow too, we hope? Or, OMG, does this mean Madonna might decide to make a cameo at some point, helping Britney perform a few of her iconic songs??? WHO DO WE NEED TO CALL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

You Won't Believe What Lady Gaga Just Put In Her Mouth – Huffington Post ( Video)
Lady Gaga Eats Letterman's Paper Notes: 'Born This Way' Star Gets Funny (VIDEO)
Here's an incentive to buy the physical disc version of Lady Gaga's new album, "Born This Way": the liner notes may just be delicious. Gaga continued her media blitz on Monday, promoting her new album and discussing her egg-vessel on "The Late Show with David Letterman." She gave a very spiritual answer to Dave's question about the egg, saying, "It's a place where I can meditate and experience rebirth, so I just get inside of it and close it, and then when I feel that I have been reborn spiritually, I just, whoo, come out." Then, it was on to the issue of la femme Osbourne; or, eating Barbie doll heads while on stage, in the style of Ozzy Osbourne's famed bat head diet. Before Letterman could even finish his question, Gaga proved her dietary courage, popping his ripped up notes in for a snack. Apparently, though, it didn't quite have the flavor of her Barbies, or, of course, dresses. But hey, it's one way Gaga can separate herself from Madonna. WATCH:

Lady Gaga: Madonna Ripoff?
As far as show business careers go, there are few better to mimic than Madonna's. A megastar for nearly 30 years, the singer/actress/director has become more an icon than celebrity, the kind of shining, one-name-only fixture in our cultural sky. As such, you couldn't really blame a singer for following that path to success. But Lady Gaga doesn't want to hear that. For the singer who claims she was "Born This Way," her originality is currency, and accusations of facsimile are akin to calling her a fraud. Unfortunately for Gaga, those accusations have been coming in more frequently than ever, even if she thinks they're "retarded." With her Catholic-challenging dance beats and ever-changing style, Gaga is most certainly the most successful pop star since Madonna, but she'd prefer the comparisons end at Billboard position comparisons. Still, the newest chapter in The Wrap's three part look at Gaga, whose album dropped on Monday, probes into the two stars, finding similarities between diva past and present too striking to ignore. That being said, estimates are that Gaga's album should sell one million copies in its first week; it's already at the top of the iTunes charts. So if she is a Madonna a ripoff, she can at least say she's the absolute best one yet
Did you catch that tabloid that exposed the stars without their makeup? Even so, you have to agree, from the neck on down celebrities always look fabulous. Whether appearing in television or films or strutting down the red carpet during movie premiers and awards, they make us wonder why they are so blessed in the looks department. How do they do it?
The truth is, it takes a lot of commitment and money to look the way they do, and being the public figures that they are, they cannot afford to slack off when it comes to taking care of their physical appearances.
Let's be real, the way they look is part of their business. They are a product being marketed so they have to look, well, worth paying the ticket price for. Aside from the clothes on the outside, the hair and the makeup from the neck up, celebrities have to take good care of their bodies. It's a total package from head to Gucci clad feet.
So, what do they know that you don't? It is no surprise that these stars have found their own secrets when it comes to staying fit and gorgeous. Their health agenda can range from extreme workouts to well-planned meals. Would you like to know their secrets in staying absolutely sexy? Here are some of the diet and exercise secrets of seven women celebrities.
Jennifer Aniston
The star of the phenomenal television show Friends not only mesmerized audiences with her adorable comic sense and her famous hairstyle, she is also known for having one of the sexiest bodies in Hollywood. She continues to appear on countless magazine covers and in other advertising. To stay trim, Jennifer follows the 40:30:30 diet method. The diet consists of:
40% Low glycemic carbohydrates - Foods such as beans, fruits and vegetables, legumes
30% essential fats - nuts and seeds, fish, and olive-based oils
It is essential that every meal should contain macro nutrients to attain the balance of hormones and maximum weight loss. If you don't know what macro nutrients are, do a web search. Suffice to say these are important food groups to add to your diet.
Kate Hudson
The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed quickly before commencing on her next film. From her previous eating plan, she switched to a higher protein diet. She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and cardiovascular workouts. The high protein intake is a trick employed by male weight lifters to shed fat and build muscle.
Her post pregnancy figure garnered some constructive criticism from friends and industry types which may have given her incentive to shed all that baby weight in only four months! In the process she gained rippled abs that is the envy of many in Hollywood and that's just counting the men!
Oprah Winfrey
As one of the most successful talk-show hosts in the world, there is no question that Oprah has an ongoing battle to maintain her physical appearance for her millions of fans. It's no secret that Oprah is known as one of those celebrities who are constantly battling weight gain. If you are a regular viewer, you have seen the shift in weight over the years. She has recently toned up her figure and has never looked more fit.
She combines a regular exercise regime with a solid diet plan. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on the treadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy products that are low-fat. She limits her consumption of white sugar and flour. Oprah also credits her trim figure to her habit of not eating anything after seven in the evening.
Gwyneth Paltrow
A lot of people may find it hard to believe that the perpetually slim Academy award-winning actress actually needs to diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan that resembles Oprah's, avoiding sugar and white flour. She usually follows a macrobiotic diet, eating foods like vegetables, brown rice, and lean meat. She also eliminated products containing dairy from her diet, and does yoga every day.
Madonna
The pop star known as the Material Girl has always flaunted her body as one of the tools of her business. To stay looking sexy, she has become a true fitness groupie over the years. She keeps herself in tip-top shape by practicing Ashtanga Yoga, and follows a strict diet that mostly shuns junk foods. She adopted a macrobiotic eating plan that includes organic foods rich in lean protein.
Claudia Schiffer
The bodacious German super model eats salad and steamed vegetables for dinner and eats only fruits before the afternoon. While on locations, she prefers to eat black grapes and drinks tomato juice and herbal tea. No where do we find meat on the menu but that's not to say she doesn't eat meat, fish, or poultry occasionally.
Christie Brinkley
Longtime super model Christie Brinkley maintains her all-American good looks by being a vegetarian. She does not keep junk foods of any kind inside her home to avoid being tempted beyond what she can handle. She snacks on sweet potatoes in place of candy bars, and she adopts a liquid juice diet when she needs to slim down fast.
In closing, take heart, celebrities are just like you and me. If you saw them on the street or in the supermarket they obviously wouldn't be looking like they are ready to walk the red carpet at that moment. Chances are you might not even recognize them because you are not expecting them to look average.
Yes, they need to maintain their figures more than anyone else because they are constantly in the public eye but you also can have a celebrity-like body by following the diet and fitness plans of the stars. With the right clothes, hair and makeup, you can look red-carpet worthy too!
Perceraian Madonna dengan Guy Ritchie, tidak membuat Madonna terpuruk lama dalam kesedihan. Justru hikmah yang didapat dari multitalented artist ini adalah ditunjuknya dia sebagai ikon fashion campaign Louis Vuitton untuk spring/summer 2009.
Untuk menciptakan satu campaign yang berani, sensual namun tetap berkelas, Madonna terpilih sebagai sosok yang tepat dalam mempresentasikan semua hal tersebut. Dalam campaign ini Madonna mengenakan short skirt yang seksi, sepatu sandal etnik yang jadi salah satu "it" item dan beberapa bangle animal print. The quenn of pop really works the look.
