Ladyhawke Covers ‘Womanizer’

4:28PM Jess McGuire | Has it been nearly a month since I last mentioned Ladyhawke on Defamer Australia? How dreadful of me. I should remedy this situation at once by bringing your attention to something that “did the rounds” (internet wise) about a month ago. I realise my coverage is late, but I’ve been busy, and hey – better late than never, right!? Y’all know how everyone (cough) has been banging on about Lily Allen’s cover of Britney’s ‘Womanizer’, yeah? Lily “accidentally” gave the song to Mark Ronson to play on the radio hoping he’d talk over it but he didn’t and now her record company is cranky at her, blah blah blah. WHATEVER. I much prefer Ladyhawke’s version of the song which was recorded for Radio 1’s Live Lounge. I think it’s beautiful. You can download it via Hard Candy. More »

Madonna Slips Female Fan Some Tongue On Stage, Lourdes Asks ‘Is Mummy Gay?’

2:00AM Molly Friedman | Madonna can pretty much do whatever she wants at this point and the world will shrug its shoulders, whether she’s assaulting Justin Timberlake with needles or spreading her soon-to-be-50-year old legs on album covers. But the vocally-challenged icon has taken her recent trip down memory lane as a pansexual nympho to new heights by inviting a female fan on stage during her concert last night and pulling a repeat performance of Madonna And Britney Spit Swap. Why? As she put it, “Why do I have this relationship with France? I’m always drawn to working with French people – and frenching French people…Vive la France!” A closer look at the kiss step by step, plus suddenly gorgeous daughter Lourdes’ reaction, after the jump.

Madonna’s Most Explicit Album Cover Yet Comes On The Eve Of Her 50th Birthday

6:20AM Molly Friedman | If we saw our mother spreading her legs on billboards and in the window displays of old-fashioned CD stores, we’d probably either disown her, change our names or move to Mars. Unless, of course, she was Madonna. Then we might just have to put the poster up in our rooms. Madge is turning 50 this year, and she’s not letting that stop her from putting out her single most explicit album cover to date. Even Erotica’s open lips and Confessions On A Dance Floor’s spread eagle from behind don’t compare with the artwork for Hard Candy, which features the B12 shot lover posing as an S&M-inspired boxer (of sorts) waiting to “kick your ass” (just as Madonna promised the album would do). But just because Madonna’s putting it all out there now doesn’t mean her more suggestive covers weren’t ten times sexier. More »
