Has anyone seen Hard Candy still available at Target stores. I need to pick one up today. Nope. As I've reported, Target has removed the Madonna sections from their stores. I know Best Buy still has the album on the shelf. B&N will have it, but it will be expensive.

I know that you had said something about this, but wasn't sure if it's all the Target stores.

I'm still seeing 'Celebration' in Chicago & Southern CA at Targhetto... Same with me, So Pure. The Target by me has two copies of the double CD of Celebration, selling for $21.95. So stupid. Who is going to buy them at that price? They have been sitting there forever.

apparantly there is a rumor about a SEX book re-issue. That would be neat. My dad had a copy that I used to sneak and, um, "read" all the time when I was a kid. ;) But he's long since tossed it.

I read on the net that Glee has opened up a huge new young interest in her music via YouTube, Madonna sites etc. I really think because of so many factors involved including the gaga comparisons, her film ( I hear the clips are "good" ) and mainly because of the extreme long lapse since HC and I know she wants to come back way on top....I believe the interest is very high for her next era.

God - When I saw your name, it reminded me of the book, "Are You There, God, It's Me, Margaret" that my mom gave me when I was a little girl.

I read that Madonna will not be heavily involved in the promotion of the movie, which I hope means she will focus on the album. I mean she can multi-task...can't she! :)

www.madonna.com/news/title/the-weinstein-company-acquires-madonnas-we-for-us-releaseJune 13, 2011 The Weinstein Company Acquires Madonna's W.E. For U.S. Release Abbie Cornish, James D'Arcy, Andrea Riseborough Star In Romantic Drama - Madonna's Feature Film Directorial Debut - 2011 Release Planned New York, NY, June 13, 2011 - The Weinstein Company (TWC) announced today that it has acquired U.S. distribution rights to "W.E.," Madonna's directorial debut of a feature film. W.E. is a romantic drama co-written by Madonna and Alek Keshishian, produced by Madonna and Kris Thykier and executive produced by Scott Franklin (BLACK SWAN). It stars Abbie Cornish (LIMITLESS), Oscar Isaac (DRIVE), James D'Arcy (MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD), Andrea Riseborough (NEVER LET ME GO), Natalie Dormer ("The Tudors"), Richard Coyle (PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME), James Fox (SHERLOCK HOLMES) and Laurence Fox ("Inspector Lewis"). The announcement was made by TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein and President of Production Donna Gigliotti. Spanning six decades, W.E. juxtaposes a contemporary love story with that of King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson. "W.E. is about the nature of true love, and the sacrifices and compromises that are often made. I've wanted to tell this story for a very long time, and bringing it to life has been a great adventure for me. I'm looking forward to working with Harvey and The Weinstein Company on this film," commented Madonna. "Madonna has really come into her own as a filmmaker with W.E.," said Weinstein. "She's taken one of the most famous romances of the 20th Century and brought it to life in a smart, sexy and thoroughly modern way. It's a terrific addition to our US release slate." Commented Gigliotti, "The advance footage for W.E. was some of the most impressive I've ever seen. I can't wait for American audiences to have the opportunity to see this film." The deal was negotiated for TWC by Weinstein, COO David Glasser and Michal Steinberg, Senior Vice President Business Affairs and Acquisitions; and by CAA, on behalf of the filmmakers. SYNOPSIS W.E. tells the story of two fragile but determined women - Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson - separated by more than six decades. In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward's VIII's abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcee Wallis Simpson. But Wally's research, including several visits to the Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple's life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, W.E. intertwines Wally's journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D'Arcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed. ABOUT THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY The Weinstein Company (TWC) is a multimedia production and distribution company launched in October 2005 by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the brothers who founded Miramax Films in 1979. TWC also encompasses Dimension Films, the genre label founded in 1993 by Bob Weinstein, which has released such popular franchises as SCREAM, SPY KIDS and SCARY MOVIE. Together TWC and Dimension Films have released a broad range of mainstream, genre and specialty films that have been commercial and critical successes, including Tom Hooper's THE KING'S SPEECH, winner of four 2011 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Since 2005, TWC and Dimension Films have released such films as GRINDHOUSE; I'M NOT THERE; THE GREAT DEBATERS; VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA; THE READER; THE ROAD; HALLOWEEN; THE PAT TILLMAN STORY; PIRANHA 3D; INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS; A SINGLE MAN; BLUE VALENTINE, THE COMPANY MEN; MIRAL; and SCRE4M. Upcoming releases include SPY KIDS 4, APOLLO 18, OUR IDIOT BROTHER, THE DETAILS and MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. Recently wrapping are I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT and COGAN'S TRADE. TWC is also active in television production, with credits including the Emmy Award-winning hit reality series "Project Runway," the new VH1 reality series "Mob Wives," and the critically acclaimed HBO comedy/crime series "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency." The company is producing two "Project Runway" spinoffs, "Project Runway: Masters" and "Project Runway: Accessories," which are expected to debut in 2011. The company currently has 17 series in different stages of development, including: "Marco Polo," a scripted historical series about the great explorer; "The Nanny Diaries," based on the hit book; and "The Mad Ones," adapted from the Mafia novel of the same name.

Being a Weinstein film, I see this being released during awards hype (Venice Film Festival) and like it has been said before ,Madonna is not going to play a big part in the promotion. The company and actors will do that and her name alone will draw interrest. If it is a success, I think she will be in the studio late fall for a new era coming out hopefully in early summer 2012. I miss her music but I really wish her luck on her film project because she has worked so hard and is passionate about it.

Roger Friedman- who used to write for FOX, for whatever reason, is not crazy for Her Madgesty- posted that he's heard nothing but good things about W.E.. And, there was a NY screening for it last night, that supposedly went well.

^Haha could be. But, you saw that before Mimi landed at Def Jam, Roger was not so kind to Mimi, either. ;)
Hopefully W.E. turns out to be a good project for Her Madgesty.

I still remember Roger's article from about 6 years ago that talked about how Madge was "near bankruptcy" since AL flopped and since she "doesn't write her own music" and "doesn't have writing credits on most of her songs like Mariah Carey."

^Well, yeah, what is it, that Roger was tight with Mimi's then-manager or someone at Island/ I forget. But like I said, before Mimi went to Island, he wrote about her copyright troubles, discounted singles, etc. etc.
I hope the W.E. experience inspires some kick-arse music from Her Madgesty.
