Looking over google news the past couple of days, I've seen some p.r. releases that have been done before - in some cases, a year or more ago, and I don't know why they're showing up now.
Her wanting to come out with a new perfume was a story that came out a few weeks ago, maybe even a couple of months ago, and it has reappeared this week in google news: Scent of Madonna Madonna Launches Perfume
Her new record is going to be more rock and roll, less dance pop, supposedly - another old story (Madonna turns rocker! ) This moldy oldie has shown up again today too: Madonna agrees to play transvestite This "Madonna to play transvestite" story came out anywhere from 6 - 12 months ago, didn't it?
The story about her wanting to learn karate? ("Madonna wants a black belt") - I remember posting that to the board about a year ago. And it's shown up again in a google news search on her name today.
Is she trying to bury all the recent negative news stories about herself and her career? Are the reporters and celebrity columnists too lazy to search out new material? What? Very weird.

..........probably a desperate attempt to flood the media with PR to push aside any stories about her marriage that might leak out. <---------------it's OK, I PM'd you what you can change it to if you can- .......by the way, I ran across a bombshell of a story on Mandona- I've been too busy to post much lately, but when I get some time I'll post it......I'm glad I didn't put aside work to post it, because if I had and then the site had been hacked, I would have been tempted to think.......

Get rid of which, Ironshadow? The post ranking title? 'Cos I could always change that. And you get a new title, depending on how much you've posted. Most of the post ranking titles I did were with tongue firmly in cheek.
As for everything old being new again (ie. Mandonna news), I'm thinking that her PR Person (*ahemLiz*) re-releases the stories to generate interest in her whenever she has a new project/album/single to release. Of course, it doesn't work.

knighmuzic, Ironshadow meant the "Like A Virgin" poster title. I don't know if she'll like "noob" any better or not.
Ironshadow: If not, if you'd prefer another title, you can change it. To do so: Go to the top of the forum's page, and there's a link there which reads "My Controls." It's directly underneath the banner ad (which I may pay to have removed eventually. Even though I'm poor. Anyway).
After you've clicked on My Controls, go to the column on the left hand side of the page, look for the Personal Profile heading and click on Edit Profile Info.
After you do that, the very first option on that page is Custom member title. Type in whatever title you want to appear by your screen name in all your posts. I assume if you leave it blank that the titles knigtmuzic chose will be used.

I think I see what part of the problem is. For some reason, google news took to indexing some site called "Money Plans," and these Money Plans people are behind most of the old news stories popping up.
As of today, and aside from the "Madonna launches new perfume" story, the first page and 1/3 of google news all comes from the "Money Plans" source.
If the by-line didn't read "India," I'd suspect that Madonna ordered Liz Rosenberg to buy up the name "Money Plans" and the domain to publish all this rubbish. Until all these dippy "Money Plans" stories get weeded out of google news, I may rely more on Yahoo news.

This just showed up on Yahoo! News, on the first page, and it's seven years old. What is a seven year old news article doing showing up on the front page of Yahoo news???
I'm not sure, but I think once this page loads, it auto-directs to another page at their site.
Madonna burgled - Madonna burgled
(Thursday June 08, 2000 10:54 AM)
Thieves are believed to have targetted Madonna's London home, after she was burgled while attending a movie premiere.
The grounds of her luxury, $3 million pad were broken into as the Queen of Pop attended the first showing of her new film 'The Next Big Thing'.
The Sun reports that Madonna returned to her home in the early hours of Wednesday to find police on her doorstop.
It is believed that although the burglars failed to enter the actual house and nothing of Madonna's was taken from her home, the gardener's quarters were broken into.
A police spokesman confirmed: 'A bag was stolen from the premises which contained a credit card, wallet and some keys.'

It's called D A M A G E C O N T R O L ...after her temper tantrum. The fact that she didn't keep the meeting between David and his father brought LOTS of bad publiciy and what do you know...not a one (bad blog) the next day??? Bet it cost her loads. Only one I saw was at dListed and her "rabid fans" were quick to stick up for her...pure intentions and all that b.s. What a load.

What do Madonna, Celine and Camilla share?April 16, 2008 - 10:19AM Prince Charles' wife Camilla, American pop queen Madonna and Canadian warbler Celine Dion have a family connection -- they all descended from the same French carpenter, new historical records have revealed. Canadian records spanning more than 300 years from 1621 were published on family and social history website Ancestry.co.uk and revealed the unlikely shared ancestry of the three famous women. According to the portal, Camilla, Madonna and Dion have their lineage with 17th century French carpenter Zacharie Cloutier who settled in New France, Quebec, in 1634, where he was one of only about 100 in the region. In fact, the Cloutiers grew to become one of the most influential families in Canada -- and are the ancestors of the Duchess of Cornwall, the Queen of Pop and the Canadian crooner among about 11,000 others. "The fact that Camilla and Madonna are related, however distantly, highlights the truly unpredictable and entertaining nature of family history research. "As the UK has strong historical ties with Canada, the Drouin Collection may be a great opportunity for them to start exploring their Canadian -- and even French -- cousins," the British media quoted Ancestry.co.uk Spokesperson Simon Harper as saying. The records, which will include 37 million names, are drawn from baptism, marriage and burial data. The ancestors of some of Canada's most famous French-Canadians, including former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, are also included in the collection. Source: NDTV Music

Ancestry.com is user posted, anyone can post a tree. I could post myself as being linked to anyone I want if I play it out right. It's not a scientific site, it's like Wiki.

This was the closest thread I could find for this topic. I don't want to make a new one about this.
I guess the only thing worse than an old PR release is nothing for a couple of days?
I checked Madonna's name on internet news sites, and there's nothing new.
This has been the case for months and months now, maybe even the last few years.
I try to find stuff to post to the forum over the weekend, and there is usually nothing new about her to post about.
Most of the stuff published about her stopped on Friday, July 3 (with maybe one or two pieces of her being published on Saturday - one was negative).
Compare Madonna's name search on online news with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, etc, and notice how these other entertainers have had stuff published on them over the weekend (July 3, 4) -these are the top few results for each name as of July 5:

...Hmmm...last time she dropped out of sight to this extent was after the whole 'S*x' book fiasco...
...at that time, she focused on legitimately trying to build her credibility as an artist by taking formal singing lessons, winning the lead in 'Evita' including a decent performance on the soundtrack, and then putting out the critically acclaimed 'Ray of Light'...
...and her strategy paid off with a career resurgence that began in 1997 and lasted well into the 2000s - even sustaining her thru 'American Life'...
...it's different this time though...she hasn't been able to come up with another critical and/or commercial hit...in fact, it doesn't appear she's even been trying to emulate those late 90s achievements...
...Instead, her music seems deliberately more awful with each album and her recent public antics smack of truly desperate attempts to recapture something of the notoriety of her 'S*x' book years...
...But...the public isn't interested in her retro-trash behaviour and there is no 'Evita' or 'Ray of Light' anywhere on the horizon...
...unless the RH tour revives enduring public interest, she may finally be done...

She doesn't even seem to be trying anymore. I get the impression she is coasting and that may be part of the problem.
Except with the tours. I've never been to one, but a lot of people say she does put effort into those.
But the music and the videos? Not so much.
