Biggest Headlines of 2008: Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Year

PopSugar — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:30:31 -0800

We've been counting down the biggest headlines of 2008, and we'll be revealing more throughout the month of December. We hope you enjoy this look back at some of the posts and stories that created the most buzz throughout the year.

It was a year of ups and downs for Madonna, who spent the first half of 2008 focusing on her new album before her music was eclipsed by her personal drama in the press. She started things off by taking Lourdes and Rocco around India and continued to raise money for Malawi with her celebrity friends. In February Madonna showed off her first endeavor as a director when her film Filth and Wisdom premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Her debut was a milestone for the pop star, but the buzz quickly shifted to her new album, Hard Candy. She and her little black ensembles were all over the magazine covers and her collaboration with Justin quickly became a big hit.

Madonna's success continued and was marked by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but by March there were whispers of problems with her marriage to Guy Ritchie. They battled the gossip with hand-in-hand dinner dates, but the speculation was far from over. Madonna hit the road on her Sticky and Sweet tour once Hard Candy was released in May. When she wasn't busy up on stage, she stuck by Guy's side at Cannes but by Summer the divorce rumors were back and bigger than ever. To look back at the rest of Madonna's year just read more.

Not long after Madonna was spotted at Yankee stadium with her kids in June, word spread like wildfire that something was going on between her and Yankee Alex Rodriguez and that both she and Guy had already hired divorce lawyers. Madonna's rep was quick to deny the reports and rumors, and as if on cue, Madonna and Guy were spotted holding hands a few days later in NYC. In early July Alex Rodriguez's wife filed for divorce, which didn't help matters.

Her marriage controversy was put on the backburner for a bit when her brother Christopher Ciccone published a tell-all about Madonna, which bothered her more than the affair rumors. Madonna and Guy continued to keep up the appearance of being a happy couple, celebrating her 50th birthday together in August and appearing together on red carpets for Guy's movie Rocknrolla before it was his turn for a birthday bash.

While everything seemed to be fine on the surface, the year-long questions about their relationship were about to be answered. The rumors about Madonna and A-Rod continued and they were spotted having dinner together in October just a few days before Madonna and Guy officially announced their divorce on October 15.

The split wasn't about to slow down Madonna's touring schedule, and she had friends in her corner on stage and off. It didn't take much time for the rumors about their divorce settlement and child custody to get ugly. The couple reached a divorce settlement in mid December, and went their separate ways. As Guy keeps busy with Sherlock Holmes, Madonna is still performing on stage night after night. She's been spotted with Alex a handful of times in the past months, and despite rumors that they're getting closer, A-Rod claims that there's nothing romantic between them. It was a roller coaster year for Madonna to say the least, but we might have to wait until 2009 to find out if she and A-Rod are more than just friends.

Paris Hilton Gets Black and Blue

PopSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:00:27 -0700

Paris Hilton did some shopping in LA on Friday, ring pop in hand and black belted hat on her head. She left the candy and took the hat and Benji Madden to Vegas for the grand opening of Wasted Space at Hard Rock on Saturday night. Hopefully the two had less sin city drama this time around, although we can be sure that if any rumors do come up Paris will set the record straight on her blog.

Posh Tells Allure She's an Ordinary Smiling Girl

PopSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:30:38 -0700

It's no secret how much we love Victoria Beckham - plus her gorgeous hubby and adorable kids - and in her interview for the August Allure she once again shows off her funny personality. Posh takes a look at a series of photos of herself in the past years and reveals what she thinks about her family, fashion, and why she gets a reputation for never smiling. Here are highlights:

On her family life: "At the moment, we're fine, the five of us. At some point, I'd love to have a girl, you know – just for all the clothes I've got to hand down. It would be tremendous fun. I've got great girlie advice that I can share."
On her looks: "I just make the best out of what I have. I'm not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all. I'm incredibly ordinary"
On her non-smiling Posh persona: "I kind of created this character at the beginning of the Spice Girls. I didn't smile very much; it was quite pouty. I was famous for wearing a little black Gucci dress. [Except] it wasn't a little black Gucci dress, it was a little black High Street dress. It was incredibly cheap. I just accessorized it well and had the pose that went with it. [...] Of course I smile. It's just that they don't use those pictures. It's a better story to say that I'm a miserable cow. I get it."

To see what Posh has to say about Project Runway, her past looks and her beauty routine just read more.

On Project Runway: "[It] shows how hard you have to work in fashion. These designers don't have money. They don't have huge budgets. Some of the challenges are there just because they're fun for TV. Is anybody ever going to be asked to make a dress out of candy? Of course not. But it makes good viewing. I see Heidi quite a lot, and her kids. Really lovely family."
On a 1997 photo of her with the Spice Girls: "You know, fashion changes. Rather than ever looking back at my clothes and cringing, I look back at the makeup and cringe. It looks like someone beat me up and pushed me onto the stage."
On her personal style: "If I'm going to an event, it takes me about an hour and a half to put my hair up and have some makeup put on … I don’t have a stylist. I deal with that side of things myself. [...] I have a photographic memory [for clothes]. I can remember what everybody wears, all the time."

As usual, Victoria impresses us with her honest commentary and down-to-earth and modest attitude. Plus, maybe now that David is back we'll see that smile again.

Madonna and Guy Prove They've Got Nothing to Prove

PopSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:21:56 -0700

As if right on cue, Madonna and Guy Ritchie were photographed heading into dinner in London last night. Her rep already denied rumors that the couple is splitting up, but a little arm-in-arm evidence never hurts. Last night they had something to celebrate, too, because she announced her bold new way of releasing Hard Candy. For the week leading up to its April 28 release date, Vodaphone subscribers in Europe will be able to buy one of her songs per day using their mobile phones. Unfortunately, those of us in the US will just have to patiently wait that extra week for our Candy fix.
