The Madonna promotion blitz is full force people. In preperation for the release of her new single, CD, and documentary, Madonna is everywhere. The singer showed up at Hunter College after a screening (MTV sponsored, of course) of her new documentary to share her wisdom with the students.
The hulking security guards standing at the side of a Hunter College lecture hall was a big hint that their usual professor might be taking the afternoon off. When the lights came up and Madonna walked in, that confirmed it. The former Material Girl surprised students at a film course who had just seen an advance screening of her tour documentary, "I'm Going to Tell You a Secret." Her appearance was filmed for the mtvU network series "Stand In," where celebrities such as Marilyn Manson,Many of the students were about the age Madonna was when she moved from Michigan to New York, determined to make it first as a dancer, then as a singer. "I wanted to be different," she said Tuesday. "I wanted to be somebody."
Asked by a student what drove her to succeed, the 47-year-old pop star said, "It's one of those things you can't really answer. You're either hungry and determined to make it, or you're not. I know a lot of people who, when they got rejected, they accepted what people said about them. I never did that."
"Being a celebrity, you can get very caught up and seduced into believing and thinking that what you do is the most important thing in the world and get very attached to material things," she said. "I'm guilty of that and I'm still guilty of that, but hopefully I'm becoming less attached."
The big question is, will she show up at the Roxy this Saturday night. Here's what Queerty thinks:
Madonna will be at the Roxy. Madonna will be coming out on stage, thanking the audience, and pumping them up for her album. She will then introduce Mr. Rauhofer’s mix of the new single “Hung Up” and the queens will go nuts. This likely scenario explains why:1. Madonna was seen entering the club.
2. Rauhofer, who no longer works at Roxy, suddenly returns to the club.
3. Roxy, Rauhofer, and John Blair are not lying when they say she is “not performing.”
4. The promotional materials are Madonna branded and speak of a “special guest.”
I guess we'll have to go with "You'll See."

just go away! leave! GO!
T says:
I think Madonna looks fantastic in this picture. Especailly compared to some of the others I have seen taken of her recently. She is pushing 50 after all.
veggie girl says:
Ya know, she probably didn't teach those students a damn thing, and I'm sure her reason of going was to promote her film, not to teach them anything. Nice of Hunter College to sacrifice a class to the promotional gods just because she's famous and they knew there would be articles about it that would mention the name of the college.
hot black chick says:
I must admit the old hag is looking pretty good in that pic. She usually looks like a frigid bitch
in press pics..
Silasdog says:
Hand me a king-sized barf-bag! What a fake, phoney, fraud this warbling, crotch-grabbing, pseudo-guru is! There was never a moment in her life when she didn't think she was the center of the universe. What the hell were they thinking by bringing this bubble-head to a place of higher learning. And to those who think she looks good, send a card to her plastic surgeon.
megoddess says:
Oh my this just show how talented she is. With all the distructor and haters comment and topics this made her more stand out (even before and until the end of time). My highest respect to the queen to steer all people to expressed there feelings mostly the bad ones. It just showed she deserved to be talked about and most especially being loved to be hated the most is one of the most flaterring expression of being the most famous woman in the world. She is definitely the goddess of all goddess. I am so much awe at these very moment
Cynthia says:
Distructor? what is that? Did you possibly mean 'destructive?'
It is bad enough that you can not spell or understand English correctly, but the fact that you are going around referring to people (especially Madonna!!) as a goddess, REALLY worries me!
Let me guess--you pray to Paris Hilton every night!
megoddess says:
Thanxz!!!I love it..lol
Prentiss says:
madonna is old. Over. Not cool. She is trying very, very hard to be relevant to an audience that is 30 years younger than her. Madonna in 2005 is older than Cher was in the 80s when Madonna first appeared. And we thought Cher was old and lame.
Modonna's Head says:
Why is my head so BIGGGGGGG!
Gossip Guru says:
Ok Prentiss. I hate Madonna and she is old and tired, but dont you EVER bad mouth Cher again. Cher is a true Diva, a true performer, and she has a voice like butter! Cher is a fucking Goddess, not Madonna
gino says:
What a tired, old hag. Will she just please go away.
getOverIt says:
You guys are all pretty pathetic. What have you done with your lives that is of such meaning to deserve the right to pass judement? Nobody asked you to like Madonna and I don't really think she cares if you do. She makes her fans happy, and you all should stop wasting your time hating on her, you're not gonna change anyone's mind.
happy hour says:
GetOverIt: if we are all pathetic for hating Madonna and writing about...why are you so pathetic to read what we're writing??? Just jump on her fan club website and leave us here bitching in peace!
getOverIt says:
Yawn...nice try.
strikeapose says:
wow! it seems like many of you have no appreciation for anyone past a certain age. terms like "old" and "tired" are bandied about without a thought. i think i'll listen to HOLIDAY to return a smile to my young, fresh (but over 30) face. the revolting lot of you will get the faces you deserve in ten years.
CityKitty says:
Agree w/ Strikapose. Like her or don't like her, but her age is a silly basis to form an opinion on. Besides, Demi Moore is still managing to make herself quite relevant to our 20-something generation. ;)
CityKitty says:
But, yeah, the hair is pretty bad.
ThrillKill says:
heehee, her necklace looks like a big sperm. I would probably still give her a 'necklace' too.
megoddess says:
she's so hottt!!thatr 70 look is amazing to the music Hung Up..I both love cher and madonna..they are both goddess, madonna the most...becoming old is good,we are going there. She may looked tired that's because in just 2/3 days she has done too much..promotion there, here , everywhere.
Madonna you rocks!!!old is cool!!!
Cheesy says:
Are her eyes getting bigger or does she just REALLY need a cheeseburger?
Cattt says:
How does she balance what she does for a living with her kablahblah?
Good thing that faith isn't real! LOL!
KKikki says:
Madonna can't let her kids watch tv because then they will find out that she instigated the moral decay of our children. She is a joke! Spare me Madonna
K.Marie says:
I have the same necklace. I always thought Madge had good taste.
Silasdog says:
I don't care about her AGE! I'm older than she is, and I know she's a two-bit whore who luckily had a show-biz career. I don't care how many records she sold, or how many people still adore her. She was always a classless tramp and she'll forever be one. Her juice box has seen more traffic than the Cross-Bronx Expressway. She's revelled in and flaunted her slutiness for twenty years, and now we're supposed to regard her as some sort of intellect? Get lost Madonna. Go write a book about achieving better orgasms, that's the only thing you might know something about.
kissmyass1 says:
Oh god ....GET A LIFE.
Sounds to me like someone in here need's to have an orgasm.
Get real people ........Madonna rock's
Cynthia says:
Madonna is slutty. Don't you remember her Sex book? With all those 'lovely' photos? Our standards of good taste just keep slipping. That is why we now have all of these talentless skanks with their wardrobe malfunctions.
MADONNARULESUDEMONS says:
I don't usually freak out like this but I have had it up to my royal ass with skanks and losers putting Madonna down. I am so tired of reading your bullshit across thw world with her! Your souls are all jealous, worried and anxiety ridden. You gain power by putting her down. Excuse me....but you don't want bad MADONNA KARMA!!!! THE HEAVENS TRULY IGNORE EVIL ONES THAT DISS MADONNA! I don't need to say anymore because I am sure all of this registers with your LOST SOULS!!!! GET A FUCKEN CLUE AND A LIFE!!! You are on this fucken weblog with no way to be contacted....scared souls...UGH!!! FUCK OFF AND LEAVE MY GIRL ALONE!!!!!!!!!!! Back to Love and Peace for ME!!!!! www.kabbalahcentre.org BLESSINGS AND LOVE ALL:)
Cynthia says:
Uh, your girl Madonna? Uh, ok. You are probably one of those froot loops who stalks her, and I am sure she is not happy about that.
Gianna says:
Personally, I think Madonna has always and always will be the best music artist there is of these times. I wish I was her life long friend and I could work with her during her tours and stuff, man she is one awsome human being and i will love her till her dieing day...... I LOVE HER
