NEW! 5/2/98 Madonna makes a major media return on the March cover and inside the pages of "Vanity Fair" magazine with her daughter, Lourdes, taken by photographer Mario Testino.
Lourdes, or "Lola" as her mother calls her, is now sixteen-months old. In the accompanying article, Madonna, who was only five-years-old when her own mother died of breast cancer, says that becoming a mother has been, "An incredible healing experience," and that, "I just knew my karma was to have a girl."
Madonna also mentions her desire to have more children, though not with Lourdes' father, Carlos Leon, because their relationship is one of friendship at this stage. She would prefer to be in a stable relationship before she has another child, but doesn't feel, at the moment, that she has time to work on one.
Considering that her new album, "Ray Of Light," is coming out next month with an accompanying tour to follow, not to mention the Material Girl's name has been attached to several film projects this year, such as "Recycle Hazel" and "Chicago," it's not too surprising that she can't find the time at present.
NEW! Madonna has been linked to yet another movie project, which would bring the total number of films the press has tied her to up to five.
In the past two weeks alone, Madonna's name has been attached to four upcoming films, not including the big screen version of the Broadway musical "Chicago" that she plans to shoot later this year.
Madonna's publicist has no comment on the latest report, that the singer-turned-actress-turned-mother will star in a film about jazz singer Anita O'Day. As we reported last week, the Madonna camp also has no comment on two films reported about last week: an offbeat family drama called "The Red Door," and a Jekyll and Hyde style film called "Imbalance."
Madonna's camp does say that she will coproduce and star in a film called "Recycle Hazel"
No word yet on how she plans to fit all this in while touring her new album "Ray Of Light" due in March
NEW! MADONNA : ANTI-PIRACY PLEA FOR FROZEN ON INTERNET
Madonna's record label, has enlisted the Recording Industry Association Of America's Anti-Piracy Unit to put a stop to Internet postings of Madonna's new single, Frozen. The track is scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day, but millions of fans worldwide have been downloading it from the web over the last few weeks. The track was put onto the Net by some fans who recorded it from the radio in Singapore.
Madonna has apparently been posing with her daughter, Lourdes for U.S. magazine, Vanity Fair. The star will appear on the March cover and inside poses with her sixteen-month-old daughter who she has so far guarded from the media. The photos were taken at Madonna's Miami mansion, and the photographer, Mario Testino says both Madonna and her baby laughed the whole time: "Lourdes has given Madonna a lot of peace," he says.
New! Madonna and Child Pose for Pics Madonna, with a soon-to-be-released album and two upcoming movies, has shifted her publicity machine into overdrive. Columnist Liz Smith reports that the entertainer will appear on the March cover of Vanity Fair, but it's the pictures inside that will cause a stir. No, she's not nekkid. But in a move sure to send magazines flying off store shelves, Madonna poses with her sixteen-month-old daughter, Lourdes, whose privacy she has zealously guarded—until now. Famed photographer Mario Testino snapped the shots at Madonna's Miami mansion, and tells Smith that mother and child laughed the entire time. "Lourdes has given Madonna a lot of peace," he says. Not coincidentally, Madonna's latest album, Ray of Light, hits stores on March 3, with the first single, "Frozen," set for release in February. She's also signed on to star in two films, Recycle Hazel and The Red Door.
