Diva you are so stupid, Camille wrote an entire essay on Susan Sontag.

Anyway, as I was saying, Diva your only accomplishment is your opposable thumbs and your ability to convert oxygen into carbon dioxide by product. Please step in front of a car and die

“Madonna staged her sexuality in artistical way but Spears represents girls/women pathetically on a low level. That’s the difference.”

This person is so incredibly duped by the media it’s actually cool. Madonna has only been committed to one action in her career: going to the gym. And after all her work she looks destroyed and haggard. All the ‘artistical’ posing can’t change that.

“The only person who is relevant and will remain so in music history is Madonna”

This is very sad to read because what Camille Paglia and you fail to realize is that Madonna is the foerunner of raunch culture and has influenced Paris, Britney and all the other younger girls who Camille deems ‘floozies.”
Do you hate hardcore porn being brought to your 9 year old daughter by the media? Blame Madonna, who had nowhere to go but Skanktown and the media who made it rewardable. Ciccone has very little sheer talent-she is a poor actress and her singing voice-to say nothing of her wretchedly insincere speaking voice-is one of the poorest in the industry. Madonna made it by being the first media generated super star-trashy, nasty to her fellow female performer (until she was too haggard and old to get away with it as often) and courting stylists and designers instead of working on her craft but most importantly the media has always seen her as a scared cow-be trashy, be vulgar and we will keep you famous, loved AND respected they say. Thus her spawn followed suit.

Camille Paglia knows Madonna will never be a true glorious sex symbol, like Monroe, Ekberg or June Wilkinson and always cared more about money and appearance than sex but Camille still likes her because Madonna still has the Catholic Church oozing out of ever pore and is an example of what the short, thick waisted, smaller breasted average Catholic woman with ‘exploit my dead Mommy angst’ can do. Camille sees and defends herself. ADMIT IT CAMILLE! YOU KNOW Madonna HAS BEEN OVER FOR YEARS!
I for one like classy, talented well endowed women like Sophia Loren, Nigella Lawson,Kate Donovan, Super Amanda and Kelly Brook who have class, mystery and vibrance and who have awesome bodies that they have not destroyed with exercise bulimia.
Madonna:Camille’s dream and Queen of the Wasted Faces and sweat shop labor HMS track suit.

The only person who is relevant and will remain so in music history is Madonna

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are bitchest bitch!

Personally, I think it’s fabulous!
After years of hiding herself away
she’s finally decided to step on out
of that Mercedes, throw up that skirt
and yell, “Hello, world! Kevin and
the babies are out and I wanna know,
who’s next, beeotches!”
It’s bold, it’s fearless, it’s the
essence of the new Sexy.

I’m also suprised, after reading
Paglia’s ground-breaking and now
apparently abandoned ideas on the
‘Cloaca Effect’ to see how old
the old war-axe has become.

Out of the way, world…Here come
the Vaginas!

Those of you who interpreted Madonna is critized in the article are wrong. Paglia differed.

Spears tells by the crotch shots to the public: “I’m an easy catch, not worth more.” Madonna followed an opposite trend: she boosted the position of women. It’s NOT the fact THAT a woman undresses but HOW she does so - with or without dignity. It’s the particular message which a nude picture conveys.

Madonna staged her sexuality in artistical way but Spears represents girls/women pathetically on a low level. That’s the difference.

Keep up the good work ladies.

i love seeing two chicks do it…nothing gets me hornier…

hi i so love

I wish for once people would stop trashing Madonna. I am currently watching the dvd Im going to tell you a secret, by Madonna. This explains why we still love her and why we understand Madonna did not adopt a child to promote herself, after twenty-five years in the biz she knows other ways to do that. madonna has been getting a bad rap since American Life, a great cd by the way if you bothered to listen to it. People think she should leave her hubby and kids in London and live alone in America. would any of them? Madonna is an amazingly talented woman, to compare her to wannabes like Britney and paris is a real insult. These girls have just been hanging out behind her apartments/houses and dumpster diving for her rejects. They have no talent and the media is trying to figure out what they are going to do when Madonna retires in twenty years, who will they have to bash then?

I have heard many people who are very opinionated about MADONNA. They think she is a slut, talentless, ugly, old bitch, nun, manipulator, etc, etc. While all of these attributes are very subjective, only one that really bothers me when people call her talentless. You don’t call somebody that has sold 200 millions CDs, and has survived 25 years of entertainment business talentless. She probably has more talent than any other female artists EVER. She knows how to do it by keeping it real and push buttons, she knows how to create good music and put content that is still appropriate to her age and fame and level at the moment. You are not going to see her expose her breast anytime soon. But i bet you will see your grandson dance to her songs when you retire someday. Talentless ? You must be kidding.

Hmm, the first part of that sounds far meaner than I meant.

So let me get this straight, Carmen Paglia is still alive? Wow, you’d think she’d have more dingified things to comment on.

Madonna’s not exactly an “artist” either. Her finest was in the 80’s - as a Pop star. Maybe “Ray Of Light” album redeemed her for a moment, maybe not - it was just a moment. She is not the trend setter she is too often mistakenly credited for being - she simply copies underground music fads and recycles disco for people too young to have experienced it as it was the first time around in all its glory, as it is now regarded. Madonna just has the $$$ & connections to call it hers first, but, she’s not the originator - just the mutation. Kiss of death to Britney? Not! Britney is a talentless panty wearing-over processed boobs, manufactured barbie doll…totally talentless. Ditto all the other princesses in waiting behind her[Christina; Gwen; etc.] who recycle and self impose[rip-off!] Marilyn Monroe-Mae West images for their own commercial use while primping for the camera - nothing new.

MADONNA is the biggest female artist ever. She can do whatever the fuck she wants. Some people will love her for it, some will hate her for it. She dosen’t care. Britney and Paris and Lindsay can only dream of being her.

I misspelled capital. Ouch.

I forgot this step.

Step 8 ½ . A fortnight later CIA Deep Cover Operative M. Ciccone emerges from her London Mayfair reboubt to render a terse public apology and tentatively announces the “B & M Make Nice Pony Play” tour starting April 1, 2007.

I misspelled capital. Fuck.

Only a top-shelf public relations crisis management intervention developed by the Rand Corporation could work at this juncture.

Step 1. Disable the Paramount Studios Gower Street power grid for twenty minutes starting at Ten o’clock Sunday morning to snuff out real-time coverage of the imminent Spears Media Triage by the “Entertainment Tonight” production team.

Flood the TMZ on power-up with a tsunami of Lincoln Group subcontract disinformation press releases of multiple fake Britney doppelgangers at multiple East & West coast Kabbalah synagogues and Seven-Eleven stores.

Step 2. Gas up a C-130 Hercules transport plane and a pair of B-1 Lancers at the John Wayne Airport to transport B.S. and entourage to a secure location somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

Step 3. After seventeen hour evasive flight maneuvers under total radio silence, the extraordinary rendition team arrives at the Diego Garcia atoll to circle, descend, land, and break for sandwiches.

Step 4. Start Divine Strake Love Bombing Psy-Ops Makeover. Code Name: Operation Infinite Blonde.

Step 5. Monday night Paris Hilton’s pet Chihuahua mysteriously succumbs in the penthouse suite at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino due to weapons grade anthrax poisoning.

Step 6. Cable television luminaries Stacy London, Rachael Ray, Nancy Grace, and C-SPAN’s Susan Swain conduct a marathon Reichian Style “Shock & Awe” Love Bombing Campaign on B.S. using inspirational post-it notes supplied by First Lady Laura Bush via Andrew Card.

Step 7. Hair. Wash, Cut, Color, Perm, and Style by Frederick Fekkai. Face, Giuseppe Franco (extraordinary rendition service outsourced to The Kerik Group LLC in NYC).

Step 8. Tuesday afternoon reestablish 24 hour cable spin cycle with heart wrenching event of the new century: Britney reunites David Banda with his father at a blockbuster press conference in the capitol city of Malawi.

Karen Hughes, the newly appointed Spears 2.0 press attache’, fields and deflects all questions.

Step 9. Wire 100 million pounds sterling into Guy Ritchie’s deposit account at the Royal Bank Of Scotland.

Step 10. Get fabulously drunk at the RAND Corporation Christmas party.

I want to end it all now Osama

get a life ppl!

I LOVE MADONNA! SHE IS REAL!!

Madonna hasn’t really pulled it off as an artist yet, either. She might by the time she’s Bob Dylan’s current age, once she un-mucks herself from pop. Britney needs to hang out with some actual serious artists, regardless of medium, could be poets and painters; maybe even go get an MFA in NYC or something. Paris Hilton might do the same. They all have great wasted potential.

Including you, Marcellea, or u wouldn’t have posted.

I’m surprised at how many people want to have a say in everyones life! Have we all become Gladys Kravitz’s MYOB and let live….take care of your own business

I was under the impression that Paris Hilton would be called a drag quen because of the dick dangling betwixt her legs.

Paris and Titney friends? More like a paid photo op, as Linseed Lowhand noted in a brief interview.

Funny, I thought Paris Hilton would be called a drag quen because of her relatively manly jawline and sort-of-broad shoulders.

I think Paris gets a bad rap, actually both girls do! Madonna turned Britney out,and now these two girls are attracted to one another… and what girl doesn’t go just a bit crazy after discovering girls!It’s hot! and although I have enjoyed many of Dr Paglia’s essays I must say….loosen up!…it’s the press that should get the bad rap not the girls!

hey Andy, you’re an idiot… madonna’s a fcking whore… ask anyone.
love you.

Camille, I’m pretty sure Madonna doesn’t think too much of you. Britney and Paris probably don’t even know who you are. So, Dr. Paglia, save your best insults for someone or something more deserving–the corpse of Susan Sontag, for example.

Madonna has a certain amount of class that Britney lacks. Madonna can be sexy without being slutty.

u guyz should shut the fuck up and mind ur biz. the celebrities ain’t talking shit about u guyz.

I don’t like how Madonna scooped up Britney, used her to get the youth market to remember who Madonna was, then dropped her like a social disease. Madonna is an accomplished pop artist but she is first and foremost a ruthless marketing machine.

US Weekly is owned by Wenner Media– giving US Weekly journalistic cred is like product placement

nom.sex.four

I love skanks!!!!!!!!!!!

banjo, you misspelled tourettes you dumb piece of shit

This proves that Madonna is the Queen of Pop!

Nobody really remembers the fact that Madonna kissed both Britney and Christina at that show because after the Britney kiss MTV cut right to Justin Timberlake’s face (as though he was supposed to have some kind of reaction) and all that was broadcast was the very last second of the Christina kiss.

That’s because Christina is hot and actually relatively respected at this point. Weird how things turn out.

I think you guys all need a nice big hug. I’m seriously…

The thing I don’t understand, is that Madonna actually kissed both Britney and Christina, but no one seems to give a damn about the Christina bit, as if she had not been there at all, but everyone hypes about the Britney bit.

Can I cancel my subscription from here?

i love brittany and the kiss was fab too.

Hey Tony - GO FUCK YOURSELF!

Yeah I gotta agree, this “Travis” guy sounds like an idiot. he only seems to be able to spout off insults. maybe he has terets syndrome?
also, yeah i think Britney’s dropped the ball career wise. why would anyone want to emulate Paris Hilton’s fame?!
“dirty whore” is not a compliment

the most relavent point here is RS esentially admitting that US Weekly has more jounalistic cred..

we all loved the moddonna kiss and who the hell gives a crap about the spoiled little slut paris

To the loser who wrote the comment before mine. you sound like a piece of trash. Regarding the article…you’re right Madonna is truly a creative artist.

Can we STOP comparing Madonna to fucking Brittney already!?!? Madonna has worked her ass of for the last 25 years and made HERSELF into the icon that she is. Brittneys a fucking sleazy, trailerpark ho bag.

WHAT A DUMB CVNT!
