Yesterday the Live Nation website published a new list of tourdates implying without actually announcing that Madonna would be resuming her Sticky & Sweet World Tour this Summer. Almost as soon as the dates went online they were pulled off the site. Today, Madonna.com has been updated with the following message:

Madonna 2009 European Tour
2009-01-27 15:05:51

The rumors are true! Madonna will tour Europe this summer.

Stay tuned for details later this week.

This is great news for fans in Europe (and possibly the far East) who were unable to see her Sticky & Sweet Tour the first time around (or just want to see it again). No other information has been made available at this point … there’s no way of knowing what, if any, changes will be made in the show or with the setlist. After the jump, check out the full list of tourdates that were posted online yesterday but were immediately taken down — see if Maddy is bringing her tour to YOUR city this Summer …

It doesn’t look like Madonna is going to let a little ol’ thing like divorce come between her family’s need to be together to get their church on. Maddy and her kiddies (Lola, Rocco and David Banda) hooked-up with daddy Guy Ritchie at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC yesterday and everyone was all smiles … check it out:

Maddy and the children have been in NYC a lot lately, which is normal since that is where I understand she plans to life full-time once her divorce from Guy is totally and completely signed, sealed and delivered. Guy, too, has been in NYC for the past week or so since the movie he’s directing, Sherlock Holmes, is currently in production in Brooklyn, NY. It’s really great to see that the Ciccone-Ritchie clan can keep it together even tho they are legally separating. It looks a lot like Madonna and Guy plan to remain good friends even after the divorce is a done deal … which bodes well for their children. I guess it’s true what they say about the family that Kabbalahs together.

Tour prep continues for Britney Spears this weekend as she and her mama Lynne Spears were spotted making their way into a rehearsal studio this weekend to continue work on her upcoming concert tour The Circus starring Britney Spears. As you may recall, earlier this week we saw a few insider photos of Britney engaged in dance rehearsals with her troop of dancers so we know that she’s been bizzy. BreatheHeavy.com is reporting that folks putting together Britney‘s tour are working to have Madonna make a guest appearance in the show much like Britney guested in Madonna‘s Sticky & Sweet World Tour last year. If true, this is the best tour spoiler that I’ve heard from Britney‘s upcoming tour yet. Here are a couple pics of Britney and Lynne as they made their way into the studio yesterday and the rumored information about Madonna‘s alleged appearance in Britney‘s show:

Britney and Madonna are doing an exclusive scene together! “It features the song ‘If U Seek Amy’, in which Madonna is the character ‘Amy’ and Britney is running after her. First there will be a video playing and then Britney will come out and sing and then, only in Los Angeles, Madonna will come out for the last part … It has been negotiated and confirmed. They are set to shoot it by February 10th. Britney has said she is ‘over exited to be coming back to the stage’ and gave her ideas for the sets of many numbers.”

While I really love this idea, I fear it’s too good to be true. Without some sort of confirmation (which should come at least by February 10, as this rumor suggests) I’m gonna hold off on believing this particular report. Even if Maddy doesn’t appear in video form during the show (even tho she should since Britney fans would eat that shizz up!), I really do hope that she makes an appearance on stage with Britney here in LA. Britney was kind enough to make the cameo for Madonna, hopefully she’ll do the same. In any regard, work continues on tour prep … with Madonna or not, the show sounds like it’s going to be amazing. In just about two moths, Britney Spears is gonna show us what she’s got. I can’t wait.

So what do y’all think … would you like to see Madonna make a guest appearance on Britney‘s tour?

Earlier today we got to see the first image of Madonna posing with Brazilian model (and rumored romantic fling) Jesus Luz from the upcoming W magazine photospread shot by Steven Klein … and now we get to see a bit more of Madonna than we are used to seeing these days. Christie’s Auction House in NYC is offering up two original photographs of Madonna that were shot 30 years ago back before she became the pop music icon we know now. Both photos are expected to fetch at least $10,000 at auction but one of the photos is getting a bit more attention … photographed by Lee Friedlander, the extra special photo features Maddy in full nekkid repose:

Two photographs of Madonna set to appear in a Christie’s auction next month will probably sell for at least $10,000 each, according to estimates posted on the company’s Web site. One, a full-frontal nude black-and-white photograph of the singer, was taken in 1979 by celebrated American photographer Lee Friedlander for a series of nudes he was working on, said Milena Sales, a spokeswoman for the auction house. Madonna was about 20 when the photograph, one of several, was taken. A handful from the shoot appeared in Playboy magazine in 1985, Sales said. Christie’s put price estimates for the photograph at $10,000 to $15,000. The second photograph of Madonna was taken in the 1980s by Helmut Newton. In the Newton photograph, which is in color, Madonna is wearing a short dress and black stockings with garters. The circumstances behind the photo shoot were not immediately clear. The auction will take place in New York on February 12.

After the jump, check out a larger size version of the 20-year old nekkid photo of Madonna that is up for auction at Christie’s that is said to fetch at least $10,000 when it goes on sale next month …

Madonna was snapped making her way out of the trendy NYC celebrity hotstpot the Waverly Inn last night on the arm of photographer Steven Klein (who, you may recall, has worked with Madonna on many projects … most recently on her W magazine photoshoot down in Brazil where she met model toyboy Jesus Luz) and, it must be said, was lookin’ pretty fine in the process. Here are a couple pics of the BFFs as they emerged together:

I was unaware that Steven Klein was such a sexy beast … and Maddy, well, she was lookin’ all kinds of hawt — and happy to be with her friend. I dunno … they look pretty chummy. I’m sure they were just talking biz or whatevs but … you never know ;)

Madonna has been keeping a relatively low profile since she was spotted in the company of Brazilian model Jesus Luz down in São Paulo last month (tho she did surface solo in London but before the New Year). It was rumored that she would be ringing in the New Year with Jesus in London but there were unsubstantiated reports that Maddy jetted off with the kiddies (and Jesus?) to celebrate in the Maldives. Irregardless of where she was around New Year’s Day (and with who), Maddy is back home in NYC this week … and was spotted with her newest child David Banda at the Kabbalah Centre last night:

With all the craziness going on in Madonna‘s life … her divorce from Guy Ritchie, her rumored affair with Jesus Luz … she continues to stay grounded with the two most important things in her life — her children and her religion. If you would’ve told me that this is what Madonna‘s life would be based around 20 years ago, I never would’ve believed it. Madonna has a cunning way of still staying Madonna but also maintaining a life that is still fairly traditional, at least in some respects. And look, it appears that David Banda is already acclimating himself to the paparazzi sitch his life revolves around now. I’m looking forward to seeing what 2009 holds for Madonna and her children … now that she’s single again, it should be a very interesting year of innuendo and speculation … can’t wait.

Here are a couple new images of Madonna modeling some of the new fashions and accessories for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer ’09 collection:

As you may recall, we got our first look at the first images of the Madonna/Louis Vuitton campaign earlier this month so these new photos have yet to be widely seen. The setting and motif is the same … which I’m not sure it necessarily a good thing. Overall, tho, I really like this sultry campaign. After the jump, check out a couple more photos from this LV campaign …

After spending some time in São Paulo, Brazil last week celebrating the end of her Sticky & Sweet World Tour with a much younger modelboy named Jesus Luz, Madonna made her way back to Londontown to celebrate Xmas with her family. Altho word has it that Jesus followed Maddy to London, the pair have not been seen together since their separate arrivals in town. Madonna did managed to make her way to the London Kabbalah Centre (where she *randomly* ran into her soon-to-be ex-hubby Guy Ritchie) but, for the most part when she wasn’t with her children, has been spending a bit of alonetime with herself. Here are a few pics of Maddy making her escape from the Kabbalah Centre and then stepping out on her own this weekend:

They may be in the middle of a multi-million pound divorce, but Madonna and Guy Ritchie apparently put aside their differences as they visited a Kabbalah Centre yesterday. The pop star, who later joined Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin for dinner, arrived, and left in a different vehicle from her estranged husband. But both were at the centre at the same time, along with children Lourdes, Rocco and David. They were seen walking outside the centre, near London’s Oxford Street, with Rocco leading the way, Guy and David following, and Madonna and Lourdes lagging behind. Later, Madonna, who has been linked with Briazilian model Jesus Luz, was spotted outside the fashionable Locanda Locatelli restaurant, where she had been dining with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. t was reported that the actress had spent months begging Madonna to save her marriage, and, along with Stella McCartney, has proved supportive in the wake of the divorce from her film director husband. Yesterday’s Kabbalah meeting comes after the divorcing couple called a truce for Christmas and struck a deal to spend the festive season in Britain. Madonna returned to England the day before Christmas Eve – for the first time since the couple split. She met her husband in London to hand over their sons. Minutes later he headed for the £10 million Ashcombe House estate, which he has taken ownership of as part of their divorce settlement. The boys and Guy enjoyed a traditional family Christmas, while Madonna and Lourdes remained in London. The singer does not celebrate the holiday. On Boxing Day Guy returned his sons to Madonna, before picked up David to take him to the Kabbalah centre. The two then joined the rest of the family at Madonna’s house and Guy was not seen leaving until the next day. After returning to his flat to freshen up yesterday he then made his way to the Kabbalah centre, where he was joined by the rest of the family. The couple, who were granted their decree nisi in London last month, have joint custody of their sons.

I cannot even imagine how chilly the couple’s relationship must be … tho, if they’ve been planning this divorce for some time, perhaps they reached a friendly agreement months ago and are just trying to keep up appearances as best they can with everyone watching. I’m curious to see if Maddy does hook up with Jesus Luz at some point while he is supposedly in London. Madonna and Jesus is kinda to perfect … I’d love to see the relationship develop, if only for the laughs that are, undoubtedly, to ensue.

Rumors are beginning to swirl that the reported tryst that sprung up in Brazil between Madonna and model Jesus Luz has yet to run its course … word has it that Maddy will be spending at least part of her New Year’s celebrations in the company of Jesus in the next few days. Madonna, who celebrated the close of her Sticky & Sweet World Tour in São Paulo last week already made her way home to London, England to celebrate Xmas with her family … but according to Made In Brazil, Jesus has also made his way to London — most likely so he can be on hand should Madonna beckon him at any given moment. Here is, to my knowledge, one of the few photos of Madonna and Jesus together as they made their way out of her Tour Wrap party last week:

According to Brazilian tabloids, Madonna has invited model Jesus Luz to spend new year’s with her in London, even though the 21-year-old does not even have a passport yet. Rumor has it that it was photographer Steven Klein who handled the invitation. The phones at 40 Graus Models have not stopped ringing since Madonna left the country. Jesus Luz has quickly become one the most requested boys for the shows in Rio in January. Brazilian labels have been trying to cast him before his rate of R$400 a show goes up. Little do they know that his C-rate has probably already changed to a special booking by now. UPDATE: according to Sergio Mattos, owner of 40 Graus Models, Jesus Luz is already in London.

HMMM … it looks like we know that Madonna got exactly what she wanted for Xmas … and it also looks like we know who she may be kissin’ at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. You know, word has it that Guy Ritchie has also found himself a new romantic interest of his own so I think it’s absolutely fine for Maddy to indulge a bit. Go on girl, do the damn thing. I’m kinda in love with the idea of Madonna and Jesus becoming an item … I mean, it’s so wrong and still so right ;)

Madonna, her Royal Madgesty, celebrated the end of her almost year-long Sticky & Sweet World Tour in São Paulo, Brazil last night at a private soiree held in her honor by art director Giovanni Bianco. According to reports, Maddy — who is photographed below on the arm of her friend and manager Guy Oseary — was spied canoodling with Brazilian model Jesus Luz whom, it was previously reported, she met on the set of a photoshoot she did with Steven Klein for W magazine last week. While the couple were not photographed leaving the tour wrap party together, Jesus was spied leaving in a car that followed Madonna to her hotel. HMMMMMMM:

Madonna celebrated her last Sticky & Sweet Tour concert last night in São Paulo at a private party thrown by art director Giovanni Bianco at a club in Pinheiros. She went to the party not only accessorized by her Chanel resort heels, but by 21-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz, who she met during her W magazine photo shoot in Rio last week. According to national tabloids, Madonna made out and danced with Jesus during the three hours she spent at the party. She left the club at 5:30 am, and he left in the car right behind her.

Both cars pulled over at the Hyatt where she is staying. Madonna is now officially a Brazilianizer.

LOL. You know, Madonna really does have a type of guy she lurves, don’t she? Except for her soon-to-be ex-husband, most of her romantic involvements have been with Latin-lookin’ dudes (including A-Rod). If these reports are true, it’s not hard to believe that Maddy would be all in this guy’s biz. He is, after all, supermegahawt. After the jump, check out one of Jesus‘s modeling pics for reference …
