Although Madonna’s music has taken a bit of a “backseat” to her multifaceted career as an entertainer, the Material Momma loves music and will probably be putting out albums forever. With her latest release, MDNA, Madonna revisits some of the themes and sounds that made her the queen of pop.

Why are people are having a bad trip of Madonna’s MDNA?

Is the woman who gave new meaning to word “reinvention” a brilliant artist or does this constant change up reflect a darker need to find comfort in her own skin?

This nude photo of Madonna is expected to fetch $7,000 at auction. Had she showed both of her boobs, she would have gotten $14,000.

Today the very funny Nadya Ginsburg, well known for her one woman show the Madonnalouges, joins us to take a look at the mind of Madonna and her latest trippy album, MDNA.

ATTENTION L.A. LISTENERS! Catch Nadya fabulous show with Jackie beat and Tony Tripoli this weekend at the Comics Of Fashion Police Show.

Everyone in Austin has a crazy, sexual story about Texas state governor and former republican presidential candidate Rick Perry.

People of all political affiliations hate this guy, so there’s a lot of pressure to come up with dirt on him even before he ran “Strong” his anti-gay campaign ad and YouTube’s most hated video.

Are any of the rumors true, or is this just a way people handle corrupt, sleazy leaders like Perry?

Joining us is talk show host Stephen Rice, who has been anchoring OutCast Austin, KOOP’s local community LGBT radio program for over three years.

Will someone please turn this into a Showgirls sequel?

Stephen recently interviewed Republican Robert Morrow who ran the infamous “Have You Ever Had Sex with Rick Perry?” ad in the Austin Chronicle and Glenn Maxey, the state’s first openly gay representative about the governor’s secret sex life.

Listen as we talk about Austin’s diverse LGBT community and Stephen shares his thoughts on the stories, truths and myths on Texas’s notorious governor Rick Perry.

I have to say, watching Madonna shuffle for ten minutes in a loop makes it seem a little hokey!

Early on in their careers, many queer entertainers get the misguided advice that they should stay in the closet or at least not talk about their sex lives because doing so will scare the children.

Earth girls are easy. Jackie Monahan stars in Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same.

But with the success of many openly gay comedians and TV shows like Modern Family and Glee, is this true anymore? To be funny means you have to be in touch with your authentic self, even if it’s raunchy, dirty, sexy and delicious.

Today we’re talking to the very funny and unapologetic Jackie Monahan about how coming out as a comedian has now allowed her to get away with anything. With a license to thrill, Jackie is killing audiences with her raunchy brand of lesbian jokes.

Listen as we chat with Jackie about her fabulous film, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same about a woman who falls in love with a space alien with hilarious results.

It’s almost unbelievable as to how incredible this recreation of Madonna’s Superbowl halftime show is.

Is Madonna finally embracing her inner Wildenstein?

If you’re like me and have a Google Alert on the Bride of Wildenstein, then your inbox is flooded with daily comparisons between the Material Girl’s (as of late) pumped up features and plastic surgery poster-victim, Jocelyn Wildenstein.  But at today’s halftime show, I seriously began considering if Madge was openly embracing these recent comparisons to the cat woman.  Her initial Cleopatra-look (complete with leopard print) bore a striking resemblance to a 1993 David La Chapelle portrait of Wildenstein.

Of course Madonna’s superbowl performance was almost flawless, and she managed to keep her clothes on. But here’s a hilarious clip of Madonna almost falling during the Vouge intro of her halftime show.

For those of you laughing at Madge, try doing her movies in stiletto heels in the freezing Indiana winter!

Here is Madonna opening during Superbowl XLVI Halftime Show:

Although we like to think of the entertainers who make the music we love as one big happy family, in reality most of them don’t know each other very well and are probably quite anxious about their own success.

There is no doubt that because of the strong female musicians have brought the American music industry into the black and had it’s most financially successful year in decades.

With so much great music, why are the fans of artists like Madonna and Lady Gaga fighting with each other?

One particularly ungracious blog Help Mother Monster directs Lady Gaga’s fans to sites where they can attack Madonna and other musicians on a deeply personal level.

Then there’s Madonna’s condescending remarks, and her ongoing fight with Elton John whose already sworn his allegiance to the Gaga.

Does a celebrity catfight qualify as cardio?

Why is Lady Gaga letting her Little Monsters act like real monsters?

Or do they have a point? With all negative talk between Elton John, Madonna and Lady Gaga, one has to wonder if Madonna flipped her lid and forgotten that Express Yourself is her reductive version of Respect Yourself by the Staple Singers?

And what is up with Madona’s awkward humor in her video blogs?

Joining us today is the hilarious Nadya Ginsburg, best known for being a woman of a thousand voices on YouTube with her impeccable impersonations of Cher, Winona Ryder, Britney Spears and of course Madonna.

Nadya’s scored a hit with her one woman show the Madonnalouges and has landed an awesome job writing for her comedy idol Joan Rivers.

Listen as we recruit Nadya into trying to bring peace to the war between the fans.

The sexual revolution has pretty much been won, due in part to the Internet and smart phone apps help people find the sex they are hungry for. But of course the pendulum inevitably swings the other way, and now people are also looking to just date, make new friends and form strong relationships.

Maybe the reason this hot guy doesn't want to show his face is because he doesn't want your boyfriend bugging him.

Joins us today as we talk about relationships, what it means to have a “real body” and the sex culture of hookup apps and websites.

Why do guys chop off their own heads from their profiles- is it about privacy or are they just bragging about their sweaty muscular bodies?

I think Lady Gaga's kermit the frog coat trumps it all.

Courtesy of Confused and Queerty, here’s one of my all time favorite inforgaphics showcasing some of Madonna’s and Lady Gaga’s more ridculous fashion moments.

You say ridiculous, I say fabulous! If I have one regret in life is that I personally haven’t worn more insane outfits when the lens of the media was upon me. Next time the cameras are on me, you can bet I’ll be wearing something kooky as well. I live for this stuff.

What do you think?  Are these photos really of the Material Girl in all their untouched glory.  For some reason I want to believe that Madonna actually leaked these – you know Madge would never let anything slip through the cracks – just like Martha Stewart!

The Material Girl is putting some never before seen footage into her video for a remix of her classic song Vogue.

Do you remember were you were when we saw Madonna’s controversial video “Justify My Love” on the evening news? The video had been rejected by MTV because it showed Madonna kissing a woman, guys in drag and Madonna having multiple sex partners.

Pretty tame by today’s standards, the interview before the video aired shows Madonna arguing for self-expression, but what she was really arguing for is American’s struggle with embracing sexual diversity. Madonna is so cute the way she mispronounces “feminists.”

You know right after this interview she was ready to tell Forrest Sawyer to go fuck himself.

Have we come a long way, or is this conversation still happening elsewhere?

Here’s the video for Justify My Love, featuring the sizzling hot model/porn star Tony Ward. Remember when music videos ended in quotes, just in case we didn’t get the point?

Wow! She really did it. Nice to know she has a sense of humor over the whole Hydrangeas episode.

In case you missed it-

Madonna in Venice

Madonna reportedly told a Belgian magazine when asked about Lady Gaga: “As for Lady Gaga, I have no comment on her obsessions related to me, because I do not know if it is based on something profound or superficial.”

Of course, Madonna’s spokesperson denies she said that.

A fan at the Venice film festival hands the Material Girl a flower of which she’s not too fond.

Rubber wrist bands would never be the same.

A romantic relationship developed between Madonna and her producer that lasted for several years. Benitez became involved with remixing on Madonna’s self-titled debut album in 1983, including the singles “Everybody”, “Borderline”, and “Lucky Star.” He also produced “Holiday.” The two met when Benitez remixed some songs for the New York pop band The Breakfast Club, where Madonna was the drummer!

John Benitez with his hand down Madonna's blouse. Like a virgin? Hardly.

Listen to her first critically acclaimed hit: Borderline, considered one of her career-making moments. The video generated interest amongst academics, who noted the use of power as symbolism in it and Madonna was credited for breaking the taboo of interracial relationships.

Gaga’s dominance of pop culture and her hold on “the Gays” continues to upset Madonna.

In an ideal world, James Lipton would be getting jiggy with Madonna or Nadya Ginsburg, take your pick.

Rumors were spreading that Madonna was to make a guest appearance on Inside the Actors Studio opposite the deliciously serious James Lipton.

Sadly, it was all just gossip, and it looks like the Material Momma wasn’t even invited to be on the show.

So today we’re recreating the hilarity that could have been by having the world’s best Madonna impersonator, the woman of a 1000 voices, Nadya Ginsburg recreate an in-depth interview between Lipton and Madonna.

Join us as Nadya demonstrates her ability to channel the Kabllah enthusiast, Dick Tracy star, children’s book author, and Hard Candy Fitness CEO Madonna for her upcoming show, Madonnalogues, in Seattle. You don’t want to miss it!
