Brtiney Spears And Justin Timberlake Photo in Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Concert Tours

Both Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake made a "surprise" appearance in Madonna's Sticky and Sweet concert tour. Here are some snapshots



Britney looked good fully dressed. Baggy pants and nice clean shirt made her sexy and not-so-trying-hard. She sang "Human Nature" with Madonna. She looks much better than Madonna I think, not having to make such an effort



Justin Timberlake also made a "surprise" performance, singing alongside Madonna for their famous pop hit - "4 seconds"

Madonna Looking For Star Power Back Up - Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake?

Madonna may have just lost her edge. In her most recent concert she's asking for star power back-up in the persons of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake! A little conscious of the younger generation perhaps?

It's sad that a star celebrity of her stature would stoop down to recruiting has-been couple Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Not to play down their skills. They've both made a name for themselves, but you have to admit they aren't really rocking the world right now.

I would have respected her more if she got a real nobody and played it up with a "discovered by" Madonna route instead of this freak show!

Madonna has to get back on the innovation bandwagon.

Madonna Sticky & Sweet Tour A Huge Success On Opening Night

Madonna seems to have defied all odds looking like this at 50 years old. Her opening night at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales proved a major success with thousands of fans screaming in the audience. And special guest appearances by Justin Timerlake, Britney Spears, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West made the event even more memorable.

Madonna absolutely stood out in her more than daring outfits and impressive power performances. Madonna showed that she can more than just go with the tides, she can make her own waves. Madonna played around 20 songs which spanned a career of nearly three decades, including "Like A Prayer", "Into The Groove" and "Hung Up".

Guinness World Records list Madonna as the world's most successful female recording artist of all time and she has sold around 200 million albums. The Sunday Times estimates Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie's fortune at around $600 million.

Although she's recently been bombarded with a ton of issues including a rocky marriage, the sordid tell-all book of her brother, and participation in extra marital affairs with famous ball player A-Rod, Madonna seems to have risen above it all

Britney Filming A "Short Movie" For Madonna's Concert

It's so cool to see Britney Spears back on the saddle, doing what she does best - perform. This "short movie" she's filming for Madonna may sound like a charity case up front. But in truth, Madonna and Britney Spears have shared so much in terms of controversy in their last performance together it would be really hot to anticipate something to top that if you know what I mean.

This time Britney Spears will be trapped in an elevator where she sings to Madonna's "Human Nature" and just basically "look agitated." She can definitely do that, specially with all her the personal/ domestic drama going on in her life

Watch Out For Britney Spears On Madonna's Tour

Reps for both Madonna and Britney Spears have confirmed that Britney Spears will guest during Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour. This guest appearance will be virtual and will be filmed in Wales.

"Britney is going to film something for Madonna's show in the next week or so," Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, tells PEOPLE.

Don't expect a reenactment though of the 2003 MTV performance where they kissed onstage. Although that would be quite cool!

Madonna And Alex Rodriguez Romantic Affair? Soul mates according to Kabbalah?

Cynthia Rodriguez, hot wife of A-Rod Yankees 3rd base man just came out to say that she thinks Madonna has been brain-washing her husband into believing they are soul mates.

This may just be post partum depression since she just gave birth to their baby recently, and I honestly think that an occurrence like that does make a woman rather insecure and sad, specially if hottie husband decides to go back to the Yankees after only spending a day with the new born baby as well as spend so much time with the "Hard Candy" pop star Madonna

Three weeks after the birth of their daughter Ella, A-Rod dropped a knee-wobbling bomb on his wife, the friend said. Alex "came to Cynthia and claimed their marriage was over," the friend said. "That was news to her. She'd had no clue. She said, 'I was devastated,'" the friend said. "I've been with him for 13 years," she told her friend. "I stood beside him through all his struggles."

It's sad that she was even portrayed as an adulterer for staying with Lenny Kravitz in Paris for a few days on the suggestion of A-Rod. Anyway, this is a marital mess which will surely end.

Poor Madonna and Lenny Kravitz are being dragged into this separation. Whether true or not I think the couple should settle among themselves. The world has enough of other problems

Madonna's Childhood Home Burned Down

Madonna's childhood home was burned Friday night in Detroit. Police suspect arson. Madonna's rumored to be divorcing from Guy Ritchie... Ooooh! And the plot thickens!

Madonna's Brother - Christopher Ciccone Is About To Rat Her Out To The World

There are some skeletons in the closets that sometimes should never be let out. Specially if you're a superstar like Madonna. Come on, everyone has dirty little secrets. That's just one thing that makes other people interesting. Why do you think gossip has evolved into an industry all its own?


Unfortunately though, the once close ChristopherCiccone and Madonna, have had a falling-out and so it's not really a good time to publish tell-all memoirs about somebody you're not really in good terms with. There's a good chance you'll say (or in this case write) things that you may not mean at the time.


Too bad, Christopher Ciccone's book, Life With My Sister, is set to hit shelves July 15 with a whopping first printing of 350,000. So it's a little too late for backing out now.


I think Madonna will be fine though, she's been more controversial in the past. I think this will just make her more interesting. Seeing her evolve through the decades, you'd sort of expect some bad

Miley Cyrus Defenders To The Rescue - Watch Out Here Come Madonna And Tyra Banks

Miley Cyrus is said to back to her "wholesome" image and Disney studios is making an effort to make sure this takes place fast and painless. But a couple of Miley Cyrus Defenders have come out to go on record and say that Miley Cyrus did no harm (now didn't I tell you it was okay?)

Here they are:

• Madonna who has an 11-year old that adores Miley Cyrus on an MTV interview said, "I just want to go on record and say everyone should just leave her alone. I never represented anything wholesome in America [so] I only had one way to go.

  "People are just bored. Leave the poor girl alone. She’s going to grow up soon, she’s going to probably show her knees next — watch out!”

• Tyra Banks also had her comments, “She is a 15-year-old and I just wish everybody would leave her alone.”

Well if Miley Cyrus has this much fire power on her side of the court I think she's going to be just fine.

Will Miley Cyrus' Career Cave Because Of The Scandal? Or Will It Just Fuel The Hannah Montana Fever?

Miley Cyrus has been considered a worldwide success and international star at the age of 15. She has three albums on the Billboard 200, a box office hit with a recent concert film, a sold-out 2007 tour, as well as a hugely popular television show. But in the face of so many scandals... will her career take a dive? Or will it just make her even more famous?

History shows that one tragedy after another has led to the downfall of stars the likes of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Yet again, those who are boring like Hilary Duff aren't doing too well either. So when you have publicity - whether good or bad, doesn't necessarily do you harm. Will this prove true for Miley Cyrus?

I think so. Even if the parents of this younger generation find her character "unbecoming" for a role model for children I'm pretty sure the more mature and hormone-driven teen-agers will welcome her with open arms if they aren't already following her many scandalous photos.

If there is one ounce of talent in her - which I'm pretty sure she does, she will transition to more adult roles. In the meantime though, people are talking about her and this is excellent marketing. It may not be good news so if parents will shell the money for their kids to buy her albums, we'll have to wait and see for the stats to come out.

But my bet is that she will more than ever, be a success. Think Madonna - she has always been controversial and she's still here now

Madonna's Hard Candy Just Released - A Little Over The Top? Most Definitely

Madonna held a free performance of Hard Candy on Wednesday night at New York's Roseland Ballroom which people just lined up for starting 10am of Monday! Can you imagine that? They must be die hard Madonna fans

I do not deny that Madonna's music is indeed timeless and this album will definitely not disappoint Madonna fans. But the cover itself is already a little to aggressive for my taste. A little over the top I think with the sexual connotations - hard candy, legs open... hmmm... not leaving much else to the imagination there

But I guess that's what keeps her intriguing and famous. She's willing to take the risks. I couldn't imagine anyone else her age trying to pull this off

Madonna Discovers New Talent In Her Gardener Turned Director!

Madonna must be a very kind person, taking notice of her gardener no less. The normal filthy rich celebrity would probably avoid making contact with the lowly commoners.

Apparently her gardener Nathan Rissman, who also did a lot of her house work started by filming home movies of her children and was impressed by his work and so she hired him to film a documentary. For more details, catch the full article on People.com's Madonna's New Documentary: Directed by Her Gardener!

Wonder if she'll hire me as her maid and maybe discover me as a starlet? One can dream...
