15 March - Madonna's video was too much for TV
Madonna is still being provocative. The 47-year-old singer's original video for
Sorry was apparently too much for TV.
In the original video, Madonna makes an obscene gesture at the camera. A toned-down version was edited for TV, but the 'director's cut' can be seen at production designer Marco Puig's Web site.
"I guess it was too vulgar for general audiences," says a source. "Besides, it is a rather unseemly gesture for a mother of two who, when she's not making obscene gestures, is singing the praises of Kabbalah and writing inspirational children's books." (source:

15 March - Will Madonna appear at Australian MTV Awards?
WILL she or won't she? Madonna is at the centre of fervent music industry rumours that the superstar singer is considering an appearance at this year's MTV Australia Video Music awards.
Such is the mounting speculation from music insiders one would almost assume Madge has her suitcase packed.
But while organisers of the event have tried valiantly to gain the services of the Material Girl at the Sydney awards show - including continued negotiations with her management team - at this stage it seems unlikely she'll turn up.
A record company source told S there was no way Madonna would come to Sydney just for the awards ceremony.
The only chance Madonna will make an appearance is if she is announcing (or performing) tour dates here in Australia, at about the same time as the awards, which are being held on April 12. No doubt Australian fans will keep their fingers crossed.
Of course, the rumours about Madonna are a bonus for the MTV organisers, who so far have produced only B-list star Ashlee Simpson as a key celebrity at this year's event. (Although the prospect of Simpson bumping into Lisa Origlasso from the Veronicas - who is now dating Simpson's ex-boyfriend, Ryan Cabrera - is an intriguing one.)
Madonna, who has nominations in categories including album of the year, song of the year (
Hung Up), video of the year (
Hung Up) and best female artist, would undoubtedly lend some extraordinary star power to the local awards ceremony. Other acts, including British rockers the Darkness, are already scheduled to perform.
The MTV event was first held at Luna Park last year - with a wild, small after-party for invited guests and A-list stars. This time around the entire ceremony has been shifted to the Sydney SuperDome, so it'll be interesting to see if the atmosphere will be similarly exclusive - or perhaps a little oversized.
The awards will be telecast live on the MTV pay television channel, with free-to-air television stations now bidding for the rights to the event. (source:
