Madonnarama is the #1 Madonna Themed Tour that has been traveling across North America and reaching such cities as Houston, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington to name only but a few and many others for the past four years to sell out crowds everywhere. Madonnarama will finally be making its long awaited Toronto debut when Embrace Productions brings it to town on Friday November 17, 2006 to Fly Nightclub, located at 8 Gloucester Street, Toronto ON, 2 blocks north of the Wellesley subway station.

Madonnarama was conceived by DJ Ed Bailey who is one of Washington's biggest promoters and DJ's. Bailey quips that a full night of one artist provides predictability, fun and comfort - and his repertoire spans the artist's entire career, including little-known tracks and videos, but to Bailey, who has successfully toured Madonnarama across the nation, it means a sure-fire hit.

"It means some remixes that people haven't heard, it means some mixes they have," he explains. it's a blend of fun stuff. There's a lot of video that people have not seen before - I have a huge collection of video snippets of live appearances, shows that people haven't seen, interviews they haven't seen, etc. I also play a lot of current music and lay Madonna's vocals on top of it. It keeps things more current for those who like that. But most of all this party is all about having fun, so we invite everyone to participate."

This one night in Toronto will feature all Madonna music and video all night long which the promoters have all been given permission to use Madonna's music, video and imagery for the Tour.

Over the top Drag shows will be performed by Donnarama and Isabella London that are sure to have people believing that her majesty is performing right before them.

There will be a 0 cash prize awarded to the best dressed Madonna Look-A-Like also.

Tickets are only available at the door the night of at Fly Nightclub and cost:
before 11pm
after 11 pm
More after 1 am

Doors are 10:00 pm - 4:00 am

Dear Friends,

A lot of you have been e-mailing me about Icon lately, asking about the new digital magazine as well as the status of their membership and the fact that they can't renew from the site's main page anymore. I cannot reveal much details for now, but Icon is going through a lot of changes, which will be announced very soon. At this point, i would like you to know that the new issue of the digital magazine will be released in the next couple days. We're all very sorry for the delay, but the huge changes announced above asked us to put the release of the magazine on hold.

Also, i know that most of you signed for four issues of the digital magazine and only got one to date. Please keep in mind that you will get all of the issues included in your membership without having to renew. More details will follow shortly. Last, but not least, the 'renew' option has been disabled as part of the forthcoming changes' schedule. If you're currently a member of Icon and that your membership is set to expire in the next couple weeks, you do not have to do anything for now as your membership will remain active for a period to be specified as part of a future announcement.

Once again, we're very sorry for the delay and for not being able to provide you with more info today, but believe me when i say that it's for the best!

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - November 15th 2007: Madonna and Gucci will host an exclusive fundraising event on February 6, 2008 to celebrate the opening of Gucci's largest store in the world, the New York 5th Avenue Flagship. Co-chaired by Gucci's Creative Director, Frida Giannini, this event will benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF, and will consist of dinner followed by a guest speaker, musical performance and an after party. This special evening will be dedicated to raising funds and awareness for orphans and children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Joining Madonna and Frida Giannini is a list of distinguished co-chairs, including Adrien Brody, Arpad Busson, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault, Tea Leoni, Lucy Liu, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Gwyneth Paltrow, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, and Sting and Trudie Styler.

Both together and individually, Gucci and Madonna share a history of commitment to the fight against AIDS, as well as support for orphans and children affected by HIV/AIDS. Beginning in 1997, Madonna served as Honorary Co-chair of the record-breaking Gucci fundraising event for Aids Project Los Angeles. Ten years later, Gucci and Madonna have both responded to the global circumstances of the AIDS pandemic, pursuing interests on behalf of orphans and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

"I am grateful that Gucci is joining forces with me to bring attention to a country with millions of children in desperate need of our help" said Madonna. "Raising Malawi has already done tremendous work in helping these children. But we have much more to do and this event will surely bring us closer to our goal."

Since 2006, Raising Malawi has been dedicated to bringing an end to the extreme poverty and hardship endured by Malawi's one million orphans, over half of whom have been orphaned by AIDS. Co-founded by Madonna, Raising Malawi provides thousands of children with physical assistance, long-term sustainability, and psycho-social programs to address their emotional needs through several community-based projects including orphan care centers, orphanages, medical clinics, crisis nurseries, feeding programs and a soon-to-come girls' boarding school.
Gucci has been a UNICEF corporate partner since 2004, starting with a local holiday event in Los Angeles, and growing to a global campaign in over twenty countries in 2005. The Gucci campaign supports UNICEF programs in Malawi and Mozambique, where over one million children have been orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Gucci's support has enabled UNICEF to provide lifesaving healthcare, protection, clean water and education to orphans and children affected by HIV/AIDS. "AIDS is one of the most devastating public health problems in recent history," said Caryl Stern, President and CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. "Every day, 6,000 children lose a parent to AIDS, and 1,400 children die from AIDS. We can't thank Gucci and Madonna enough for their commitment to helping UNICEF fight the battle against HIV and AIDS. By helping us raise funds, they are helping children in Africa to survive and thrive."

"We are honored to have Madonna host this very special event with us, celebrating the opening of our New York Fifth Avenue flagship store while generating funds for Raising Malawi and UNICEF," said Mark Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Gucci. "At this significant moment in Gucci's history, we are proud to continue our commitment to a cause of great importance to the company. We are inspired by the work of Raising Malawi and UNICEF - organizations that are improving life in communities devastated by HIV/AIDS, and helping thousands of children in their daily struggle to survive."

The event is being entirely underwritten by Gucci, so every dollar raised will go directly to the important work of Raising Malawi and UNICEF.

As announced last month, Warner Bros will soon release a Live Earth CD/DVD. While the CD includes Madonna's Hey You, the dvd features her La Isla Bonita performance with Gogol Bordello, which is available as a video preview here.

The CD/DVD will be released internationally on Nov 26 and on Dec 4 in the US. If you didn't order your copy yet, just click here.

As part of its "Videos that rocked the world" series, tv channel Fuse will broadcast a Madonna special on November 27. Taking a closer look at the videos that changed the music scene during the past decades, the program will this time concentrate on Madonna's Like A Prayer video and the controversy surrounding its release, back in 1989.
