we're happy to confirm that Madonna will attend the 2008 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which will take place In New York on March 10.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of her first studio album's release this year, Madonna will be inducted by none other than Justin Timberlake, who co-written some of the songs featured on Madonna's forthcoming album, Hard Candy.

Other inductees include Leonard Cohen, The Dave Clark Five, John Mellencamp and The Ventures. The full ceremony will be broadcasted live at 8:30P/7:30C on VH1 Classic. Get ready for a very special night!

The title of Madonna's forthcoming album will be Hard Candy, EW.com has learned exclusively. The record, her last studio effort for Warner Bros., includes a track called "Candy Store." Madonna chose to stick with the sweet theme because "she loves candy," says her longtime rep Liz Rosenberg. "It's about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expressed 'I'm gonna kick your ass, but it's going to make you feel good.'" The album, which features Justin Timberlake on multiple tracks and production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Nate "Danja" Hills, will see a U.S. release on April 29. The first single, "Four Minutes," will be out at the end of March.

Madonna is in Berlin today, attending the 58th edition of the Berlinale Festival and the screening of her first short movie as a director, Filth and Wisdom. Madonna arrived in Berlin with the movie's crew yesterday night and attended the screening before answering the European press' questions during a devoted press conference. Talking about her first experience as a director, she explains "I have always been inspired by the films of Godard, Visconti, Pasolini and Fellini and hope that I may one day make something that comes close to their genius". The movie, which stars Gogol Bordello's singer Eugene Hutz, also features several music clips from the band as well as a clip of Madonna's Erotica song.

Madonna has just won her 7th Grammy Award! Her Confessions Tour was nominated in the Best Long Form Music Video category at this year's ceremony, which took place at Los Angeles' Staples Center yesterday night.
Congratulations to The Queen!
