Christian Louboutin‘s Third Barbie
Marc Jacobs in Time Magazine World's Most Influential People
Marc Jacobs was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine. When I checked the Time Magazine's website, I was surprised by the story written by Victoria Beckham for her friend, Marc Jacobs. Victoria praised Marc Jacobs for the changes he had made with each of his collection. Marc Jacobs must be very proud because he is the only fashion designed that was included in the list.
Meanwhile, some artists and entertainers like Lady Gaga, Robert Pattinson, Sandra Bullock and Glee‘s Lea Michele were also featured on Time‘s list.

Ain't No Big Deal. 2.5 Million Dollars for Madonna's 'Personal Diaries'? ***UPDATE journals Yanked off EBAY
The (not so) big deal - Madonna's 'Personal Diaries'
So, as most of you probably know by now, some dude bought some boxes at an auction that belonged to Madonna's ex-assistant Melissa Crow filled with some cool photos, the 1990 birthday poem and other trinkets, blah blah blah. The Ebay seller's big treasures are the legendary $50.00 Tower Records gift card from or to brother Christopher (I can't really figure that one out) and Madonna's Personal Daily Journals 17 pcs Lot '88-'92 that he's selling for the bargain 2.5 million dollars!!! As it turns out, these ARE NOT Madonna's personal diaries but rather her lists for her assistant.
YOU can own Madonna's itemized to do lists for a cool $2.5 mil
As comforting as it sounds, my idea of crawling into bed with a good book never really included an itemized to do list written out for Madonna's assistant. Looks like I won't have to take out that 2.5 million dollar loan, after all. Whew! I can also save that (currently) $52.11 on THIS 'autographed congratulations card' since it's a card called into a florist and signed by some sales-girl.
sales-girl signed flower card.
Is it just me or does his response to a potential buyer's question sounds a little bizarre?
Anyway, good luck and whoever comes out the happy winner, email me the Cliff Notes version of the 4 years and 17 notebooks worth of laundry and grocery lists for her assistant to take care of. Or better yet, maybe you can tell me the brand of popcorn she had Melissa buy for the this shoot?

Even More on the Melissa Crow and Madonna EBAY Scandal
I don't have a storage space, so I don't know, but aren't you informed when your space is going up for auction? Don't you sign your life away when you get one and it clearly states if you miss [X] amount of payments the content then becomes theirs and goes up for auction? The stupidity and neglect factor is enormous.

Melissa Crowe and the Madonna EBAY scandal
From Madonnatribe.com:
Yesterday we ran a story about private items that belonged to Madonna's former assistant Melissa Crow being put up on Ebay by a seller who had purchased the boxes of personal photos, polaroids, video, diaries, autographed items from a moving company.
Today MadonnaTribe.com has been informed that Melissa is actually shocked to know some personal items that belonged to her are up for sale and she is indeed very upset by this situation and is trying to find a way to prevent the sale of these personal items.
What bothers Melissa the most is that some fans on the various forums where this story is being monitored and discussed (on our board as well) may have the impression she is indeed the one putting these items up for auction on Ebay and trying to cash on Madonna's fame. MadonnaTribe can deny this is the case. We have heard that Melissa Crow wants fans to clearly understand that she is NOT behind this Ebay auction and that she is doing anything to get the items back into her possession. She is also kindly asking people not to bid on the items.

Jonathan Ross Interview 1992
Madonna sat with Jonathan Ross in 1992 to promote her Erotica album and the Sex book. She touches on many subjects here. Her thoughts on AIDS, art, sex, fame, monogamy, and life. Her disgust with homophobia and ageism. Trailblazing through, at the pinnacle of the fame she implemented and today others aspire to, she had no qualms about speaking truth that could have been detrimental to her career but she didn't care. The Goddess spoke like no other before her. Never one to mince words, Madonna let it rip and as far as looks go, she was sock'n it, do'n it - eat your heart out, Marlene. The entire unedited interview can be viewed after the jump:

Videos That Rocked The World: The 'Citizen Kane' of music videos - Like a Prayer.
Spin magazine article early 1988 - Madonna not feeling the music landscape and about to come in and funk things up.
There was a written piece on her in the now defunct Fame magazine in late 1988 written by novelist Harry Crews, and it was in there that she dropped the name of her new album, Like a Prayer. I remember thinking, Is she kidding? Like a Virgin, Like a Prayer? After hearing her discontentment with music and video, I was kind of like, On no, its going to be horrible. She's over music and over videos and the last taste in our mouth was the Who's That Girl video. Although that is one of my favorite Madonna looks, it is, in my opinion, one of her worst videos. But then about 6 months later the Like a Prayer song and video were released and my initial thoughts were immediately eradicated. Obviously. She came back with a vengeance and with one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded in the history of popular music and with a video that put all others to shame. The greatest and most controversial video ever made. The Citizen Kane of music videos. Never doubt the woman.
Here is the program Videos that Rocked the World from 2007 - which discusses in length not only the brilliant video but also the Pepsi commercial and all the influence and controversy it caused. With commentaries from the video's director - the brilliant Mary Lambert, producer Sharon Oreck, co-star Leon Robinson, the awful, back stabbing horrible and hypocritical Niki Harris, cinematographer Steve Poster and a slew of others.
So without further ado here is the program, Videos That Rocked the World, analyzing the greatest video ever made, Like a Prayer.
