This is a very complicated issue though, as far as women in general especially. Women still face far more scrutiny for, and judgement of, their appearances than men generally speaking. Especially when it comes to aging. Traditionally men have been allowed to age in a way women haven’t without judgement. This is why skincare and cosmetic surgery are multi-billion dollar industries. Social media just amplifies it all, and gives everyone the tools to tweak how their appearance is represented on apps. To some extent this has started to affect men too, but it’s still disproportionately women affected.
It’s easy to judge M for some of her appearance choices in recent years. Even I have at times. But we don’t know what kind of pressure she’s facing behind the scenes, and more importantly how it must feel to see your appearance and any signs of aging so heavily scrutinized, mocked and ripped apart as it’s been since her mid 30s.

The fact is, we do not know the truth. However, defending MJ by bringing up Madonna being into younger guys is truly clutching at straws.
I’m not suggesting I believe MJ is guilty, I do not know. But only 1 of the 2 had actual allegations made against them. So there is no comparison there.

Fantastic news!
If she performs Bedtime Stories, hopefully it’s the Jr Single Mix or a new slammin’ dance mix! 

A message to those who trash Madonna.

I... 

It sounds like you have a lot of anger and mixed feelings towards Madonna for "reasons". You should take some time and figure out what the hell this is before opening a topic with your "facts". (Let alone the fact that a woman's death triggered you to throw Madonna hate, I MEAN-).

Yeah... Looking back to the past, I think it's easy to create a narrative that Madonna was making fun or whatever...  that's the danger of making judgments when looking back from your standpoint in the very different future. I think Madonna was perhaps trying to bring the heat down (on Sinead) a bit and show her inner comedian by referencing the two things people were talking about that month. Had Madonna tackled the issue of rape in the church herself she likely would have done it in a different, more elegant way perhaps... but maybe not. Madonna was probably just excited that she wasn't the punching bag for a second (after releasing Erotica/SEX) and thought she could win back America with humor. She was also one of the only people actively going through her own backlash at the time. So also, maybe her intentions were skewed a bit and shouldn't be judged so harshly. Again... this is the danger of looking back with black and white expectations when life is complicated. 

Bitch go somwhere esle with this toxic bullshit and negativity, Madonna didn't mock Sinead, she disagree with her about ripping off picture of JPII, Madonna said there was other way's to protest, that's all. I think you should be banned from this forum for spreading bullshit and hate toward Madonna!!! 

Madonna had said she didn't get ripping up a picture of a man who meant so much to others. It's like throwing everything out because of criminal activity and the cover up that had occurred within the organization that the Pope represents. Did Pope John Paul II commit crimes or deliberately cover up a crime he was aware of? If so, than it was justified. 
It's kinda like ripping up a picture of a Doctor whose a leader because crimes were committed in the medical field. 
I love Sinead and understand what she was trying to say but Madonna is not cheap and shallow. She looks at things in a very complex way that people who indulge in all or nothing thinking can not because they focus on the damage that was done to them all the time. 
I think you would be shocked how many survivors there really are and who their abusers were. 
 
 

At the time, the mindset the majority felt (including Madonna) was Sinead took it too far.  While we look back at it now, and think she was absolutely right to her protest, many still felt there could have been a better approach.  It's only when we have time to look back and reflect on things, we realize maybe the majority 'group think' was wrong.  Unfortunately, we still react in the same manner today on things.  In fact, it's even worse now.  Of course, the internet magnifies everything to death. 
I know Madonna criticized her for what she did, but so did everyone else.  For me, it was more about the 'presentation' of it all, that Madonna criticized, rather the actual reason behind it. To me, Madonna's point to ripping up Joey's picture is because he was the actual perpetrator, when we can't really say the same of the Pope.  Then there is the argument where people assume The Pope knew about what was going on in the Catholic Church and could have acknowledged the issue and did something about it.  
I really feel bad for Sinead because she really had a purpose to her fight.  Unfortunately, the world wasn't ready for the way she presented the protest with the ripping of the Pope's picture.

In my opinion, LAV had way more fillers than self-titled. 

This is a very idiotic post. He was a grown ass man. She’s not his mommy.

“Your idol”..
going after M for no reason..
Who needs haters when there’s “fans” like this 

MADONNA On Instagram: "Love from family and friends is the best Medicine. One month out of the hospital and I can reflect.
As a Mother you can really get caught up In the needs Of your children and the seemingly endless giving……….. But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me. I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference.
So did the love and support from my friends. If you zoom into this Picture I am holding You will see A Polaroid taken by Andy Warhol of Keith Haring wearing a jacket with Michael Jackson’s face painted on it. A perfect triangle of Brilliance.
Artist who touched so many lives including my own.
I sobbed when I opened this gift because I realized how lucky I am to be alive. And how fortunate I am to have known these people and so many others who are also gone.
Thank you @guyoseary for this gift!
And Thank you to all my angels who protected me and let me Stay to finish doing my work! ♥️

New updates from Madonna on her instagram alongside her Lourdes and David

A present from Guy Oseary - a Polaroid taken by Andy Warhol, of Keith Haring with Michael Jackson’s face painted on a jacket!

2 years ago today. Fucking love this woman

Her tour is only 18 shows and most of them are in France. No offence to Mylene fans but most people outside of France have never heard of her.
Madonna is a global superstar.

Oh fuck off. Sorry mods but seriously. 

That video she just posted is the best Madonna 40 reissue i can have. So happy to see her again like that ❤

I don’t think a tour needs to be an all out “creative” extravaganza. Having them be a paint by numbers fest gets too repetive and boring, which is what was starting to happen.
Sticky is just a really fun and upbeat show without trying to shove messages and narratives down the audiences throat. It’s her best stadium tour imo. And with the 2009 edition, one of her best set lists.

After the health scare she’s had, I can’t imagine a show over two hours long. I would think her team are going to make(and even insist) it stays as short and easy on her as possible. Seriously, just be thankful she’s even still going on tour. That in and of itself is still a miracle. 

She’s NEVER done a three hour show.  You really think she’s going to start now in her 60s?  After a major health scare / hospitalization?  Honestly… It’s like some of you go out of your way to be disappointed.  Stop asking for the impossible.
