Fashion

 In January 2005 the Spring/ Summer Versace campaign was shot by celebrity photographer Marino Testino. He also shot pictures when the Material Girl starred in ads for Versace in 1995.
Madonna's publicist and spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg confirmed that Madonna earns a £ 5.9 million wage and besides that free Versace clothes for the next two years and use of Donatella Versace's luxury mansion in Milan (Italy).
One of Madonna's predecessors is Nicole Kidman, who has already collected USD 7 million for a three-minute Chanel commercial. Also Charlize Theron, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Uma Thurman were once faces of Versace.
Donatella Versace has confirmed that actress Demi Moore is set to replace Madonna as the advertising face of Versace this Summer.
  In the nineties Madonna was not only a trendsetter of hair styles - also her extravagant styling with Mehndi designs all over her body.
The temporar tattoos are made from the ground leaves of the henna plant, which is also used for colouring hair.
Tattoo specialists like Loretta Roome and Sumita Batra are not only responsible for Madonna's henna designs. Stars like Sting, Naomi Campbell, Demi Moore, Liv Tyler also are keen on those kind of tattoos.
Mehndi - the ancient art of painting the skin with henna - beautifies the body, rejuvenates the spirit, and celebrates the joys of creativity and self-expression. This work traces the origins and meanings of traditional designs and shows how to create them on the skin... read more in the book "The Art of Mehndi" - Sumita Batra.

Perfume
Madonna launched a perfume, originally titled, "Madonna." The Material Girl is following in the footsteps of fellow divas - JLo, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton - in having a scent named after her.
 Madonna helps Africa
Bob Geldof (initiator "Live aid") konnte auch Madonna für seine Charity-Events "Live 8" gewinnen.
She performed for free during the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park together with U2, Robbie Williams, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd. The goal of the event was to raise awareness for and pressure the G8 to make a positive decision in regards working with Africa.
 After a three-year concert break Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone started her European "Re-Invention" world tour (London, Ireland, Holland and Portugal).
 Madonna, formerly a Catholic, is now a devoted follower of the Kabbalah. That implies that she won't be performing on holidays.
Since 2000 she has been married to the English movie director Guy Ritchie ("Snatch") and they have two children: Rocco Ritchie and Lourdes. Her husband recently produced the film "Swept Away" and casted his wife to play the leading part. The diva's husband normally stands in the shadow of his wife. In February 2006 the press repeatedly reported about a family crisis of the glamour couple.
