Madonna’s body secrets revealed

Madonna may be 54-years-old but the singer continues to impress fans with how she stays so lean.

The mother-of-four has a busy schedule with her career and raising a family.

But her personal trainer Nicole Winhoffer says the Material Girl is extremely dedicated and that’s how she gets and maintains such great results.

“It’s hard work, but make time and put in 110 percent and you will see results,” Nicole told Us for anyone wanting to get the pop star’s body.

“It’s not what you are doing but how you are doing it.  Sweating is a direct result of performance – it means you are doing it right.” Read more

Madonna did all the wrong things in Abu Dhabi

Exceptional professionalism and determination

Madonna did all the wrong things in Abu Dhabi, but proved that the title “Queen of Pop” deservedly belongs to her.

Madonna is a superior performer. If we didn’t know her real age, 53, we would never guess it. During the last three decades, she mastered the dance scene and earned fame with a hard work. Read more

Madonna to perform in Abu Dhabi

We asked for Madonna to come to the United Arab Emirates, and it happens just a day later thanks to the incredible power of social media!

Now, it is official: The Queen of Pop Madonna is coming to the UAE, not in Dubai, but in Abu Dhabi.

Dubai needs Madonna’s super show for America’s Super Bowl

“Bad girl” Madonna, 53, danced her way back toward worldwide visibility Sunday as the halftime attraction for the Super Bowl, the annual championship game of the American National Football League, the highest level of professional football in the United States.

Madonna performed with a giant supporting cast — gladiators, acrobats, cheerleaders, drummers, a gospel choir — and a downright benign stance.

Madonna recently recorded a new album, “MDNA,” which is coming out next month and it is her first since “Hard Candy” in 2008. A football-themed video clip for her new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” came out Friday, and the song started blasting across radio stations and billboards worldwide.

For the worldwide audience of her halftime show for the Super Bowl, Madonna went all out on spectacle – anything less would be dwarfed. She arrived on the field to sing “Vogue” as a gold-robed queen with a platoon of gladiators, dancing on a giant throne and doing precise, right-angle moves amid acrobats from Cirque du Soleil. “Music” brought her to the top of a bleacher-like set surrounded by more acrobatics; soon, she was assisted in cartwheels that had her head-over-heels.

As a chorus line of cheerleaders filled the stage, Madonna grabbed golden pompoms for “Give Me All Your Luvin’” which is the song from the new album. Guest raps by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. didn’t make the song’s retro-rock any fresher.

During the Super Bowl show, Madonna wasn’t the indefatigable trouper of the past years. She measured her moves, letting her supporting cast offer distractions. As she climbed into the bleachers during “Music,” she even missed a step, though she recovered fast.

At the Super Bowl, Madonna was the party girl turned regent: a queen on her throne, a homecoming queen strutting in the bleachers, a church singer fronting a choir. At the end, the words World Peace glowed from the field in giant letters. Madonna was proffering virtue. If such super show is staged in Dubai, it will become the top attraction for millions of Middle Eastern visitors.
