Madonna, Rihanna Team Up for Coconut Water Campaignby Keith Caulfield, L.A. May 11, 2011Madonna and Rihanna are the latest superstar divas to team up for a new project -- but instead of working together on a new single or remix, the pair has joined forces to sell coconut water. The Vita Coco brand of coconut water, of which Madonna is an investor, will feature the Barbados-born Rihanna in its national advertising campaign launching this summer. "Rihanna is a natural fit for the Vita Coco brand and I'm so happy to have her on the team," says Madonna in a statement. Rihanna adds, "I love Vita Coco! It's real coconut water from hand-picked coconuts. It's delicious and so good for you!" Rihanna recently paired with another pop star, Britney Spears, for the remix to her hit single "S&M," while the music video to "California King Bed" premiered on Monday (May 9). Meanwhile, Madonna is completing work on the feature-length film "W.E.," which she directed, due out later this year. www.billboard.com/#/news/madonna-rihanna-team-up-for-coconut-water-1005179282.story

^ thanks Disco. Think I'll buy some. Did you know Glee is going to sing Madonna's I Love New York on the final season episode? If anything it will introduce a whole new audience to the amazing track. Hope they do it justice.

Nice to see a COADF album track getting some Glee love. Though COADF did well, I still believe it was about two years ahead of its time.

COADF album today would have done well, with how embracing radio is to "dance" right now. Madonna's kind of always been ahead of the game! <wink>

Confessions On A Dance Floor might have done a little better in the States if it had been released now, but I don't think it would have done a lot better. Yes, dance might be in right now, but the type of dance that's big is very different to what was on that album. Disco will probably never be big in the States again.

Yes, dance might be in right now, but the type of dance that's big is very different to what was on that album. Disco will probably never be big in the States again. This. The current trend on top 40 is derived from electro, not disco, which was the basis for that album. The only disco-type single released by a major artist in recent years was She-Wolf.

You are right Billy but I always thought Disco, the music genre, was gone a long time ago. I appreciate your insight. I've played it when it came out and I know every song like the back of my hand but I just never thought of it that way. It starts out fun and poppy and turns more serious and insightful during the middle and end. Not that has anything to to with disco or not. I do know that it was made as a thro-back to the disco age. So..... Hmm. I quess you are right.

^Welcome, Jump .. Madonna pulls directorial out of Cannes as it is incompletePlans to screen Madonna''s eagerly awaited directorial ''W.E.'' at the Cannes film fest have been stalled as the project is not ready yet. The pop superstar, 52, had hoped to premiere the movie, about King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson, at Cannes but she is still making finishing touches to the soundtrack, reported Daily Mail. There are three weeks more of post production to complete before the film is ready to be screened to an international audience. "It was hoped that Madonna would be the star of this year''s Cannes," said a source at the festival. "But the film isn''t ready. While the movie''s distributors will attend the festival, they will preview select cuts to buyers at private screenings instead of showing the entire feature." The movie is the Material Girl''s first big-budget directorial role. She has secured backing from Indian billionaire Anil Ambani''s IM Global film financiers. Newcastle-born actress Andrea Riseborough stars as Wallis Simpson and James D''Arcy as Edward. Bafta winner James Fox plays King George V, Natalie Dormer is the young Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon while Laurence Fox plays Bertie, Edward''s younger brother and the future King George VI. Madonna''s 14-year-old daughter Lourdes has a cameo role. in.news.yahoo.com/madonna-pulls-directorial-cannes-incomplete-082400243.htmlDAMN IT, Madonna. What is her malfunction completing this film? The longer it takes to complete, the longer it will be to get the new album. Jesus!!

Rumor Has It That The Oprah Winfrey Show Will Feature A LONG List Of Final GuestsMadonna, Stevie Wonder, Maya Angelou and Many MORE! On Friday we learned of a report that claims that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith will be the final guests on The Oprah Winfrey Show … today, a little bird tells me that Will and Jada will not only be the final guests but they will be a pair of MANY final guests on The Oprah Winfrey Show. A source dishes to me that The final ep will tape in Chicago, IL at the United Center in front of 15,000 people (the massive stage will be set up tonight as soon as the Bulls vs. Heat basketball game is finished). Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise will host the final episode and Oprah will be completely surprised by the parade of guests who will come out to honor her. Wanna know who is rumored to be in attendance? Read on below. Here’s the list of celebs who I’m told will appear on the show during the taping of the final episode of The Oprah Winfrey show on Tuesday: Madonna Stevie Wonder Will & Jada Smith Beyoncé plus 60 dancers Maya Angelou Alicia Keys Halle Barry 300 Morehouse Graduates (who Oprah helped with college scholarships) Dr. Phil Dr. Oz Rascal Flats Dakota Fanning Maria Shriver Stedman Graham Gayle King I’m also told that Julia Roberts was supposed to be on the show but she had to cancel a couple of days ago. Now, none of this information is confirmed but all of this sounds not only plausible but very likely. The Oprah Winfrey Show should go out with a bang of amazing guests. I’m not sure if Oprah will really be completely surprised but this list of guests sounds absolutely amazing. I’ll be tuning in to Oprah‘s final show to see if the information provided to me turns out to be true. If even a fraction of this list is correct, then the final ep of The Oprah Winfrey Show will deffo be one to remember. www.pinkisthenewblog.com/2011/05/rumor-has-it-that-the-oprah-winfrey-show-will-feature-a-long-list-of-final-guests/Will be cool if this is true!
