By DAREH GREGORIAN Last Updated: 7:33 PM, November 30, 2011 Posted: 7:33 PM, November 30, 2011 Madonna's not causing a commotion on West 64th Street anymore. A lawsuit charging the pop icon was expressing herself too loudly for upstairs neigbor Karen George has been settled, court records show. George sued the Material Girl and the building's coop board, charging that loud music and dancing from the singer's apartment was driving her crazy, and the building hadn't done enough to try to stop the problem. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Louis York gave the case the green light to go to trial back in September. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Madonna moved out of the building earlier this year, and now lives in an East Side townhouse. Her rep, Liz Rosenberg, did not return an email for comment, but said earlier this year that while Madonna lived in the building "she was a beloved and excellent neighbor."

I didn't learn Welsh though, besides some word...

The Madonna University men's soccer team's improbable run to the 2011 NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship opening round came to an abrupt end on Saturday night with a 4-1 loss at the University of Rio Grande (Ohio) at Davis Field. Rio Grande, the No. 5 national seed, scored a pair of goals in each half to earn the victory while improving to 18-2 overall and securing a spot in the Sweet 16. The Crusaders were dealt a blow when all-conference defender Franco Giorgi went down just minutes into the match and missed the balance of the contest with a lower body injury. Rio Grande got on the board in the 10th minute when Joel Thiessen finished off a rebound of a Rafael Maccauro shot for a 1-0 lead. The nation's leading scorer, Richard Isberner, then made it 2-0 with his 28th goal of the season in the 25th minute to stake the home side to a 2-0 lead at intermission.

Madonnas determination to dance in skyscraper heels is her choreographers pet peeve. Dance expert Rich Talauega creates the international superstars elaborate stage and promo routines with his brother Tone. Rich says although Madonna is a great person to work with, her attire sometimes leaves much to be desired when picking up routines. Shes a quick [leaner] and we choreograph for a woman that dances in heels! Thats our pet peeve, but she makes that sh*t work and makes it sexy, he told the UK edition of OK! magazine. She hates us sometimes and says, You know Im in heels, Im like, I know baby, and she goes, You shouldve been born a woman! Rich admits he and his brother sometimes clash with the star. He explained Madonna is very head-strong when it comes to her work ethic. Oh yeah, quite a few times, he revealed when asked if theyve disagreed before. Once I was under the weather and I was close to saying something to her that wouldve been very disrespectful. I was about to boil up. But ...

( LOS ANGELES-Relaxnews ) - The first trailer for the second film directed by pop singer Madonna ("Filth and Wisdom"), "W.E.", was released November 20 after it leaked online a few weeks ago. The dramatic story follows two romances separated by 60 years - the affair between England's King Edward VIII and American divorce Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a young woman - Wally Winthrop - and a Russian. The footage begins during the 1930s with the couple's controversial affair that led to Edward abdicating the throne to marry for love. Meanwhile, the contemporary character in New York finds it the ultimate romance, one that may parallel her own relationship. The film, co-written by Madonna with Alek Keshishian, the director of her 1991 documentary "Truth or Dare," premiered at the Venice Film Festival. It stars Abbie Cornish ("Limitless," "Sucker Punch"), James D'Arcy ("Master and Commander") and Andr...

Brother Charles Roggemann left Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory six years ago. But when a man with gentle wit and a quirky personality teaches three decades' worth of students, his memory lasts. The Marianist brother died Nov. 10 in Dayton, Ohio, from complications related to Parkinson's disease . He was 88.

Lady GaGa has dismissed reports that she is feuding with Madonna. 1 of 1 Lady Gaga has denied that her and Madonna are having a barney Madonna is reported to have answered "Lady who?" in response to a question about the Born This Way singer while promoting her latest movie W.E. In recent interview with the Sunday Mirror newspaper, Lady Gaga described Madonna as a "wonderful influence" saying: "I feel blessed to have grown up with a powerful, blonde woman to show us the ropes." She added: "It's all down to her that I'm able to do what I do. I really like her new single too. The one that was leaked. There's no problem between us."

The Next Best Thing Red Something Borrowed This is Madonnas comeback to film after the 1996 Evita. In this 2000 film, she plays the lead female, Abbie, a 30-something yoga instructor with a biological clock on speed. Yoga is about the best thing Madonna does here, as her acting is stiff. The odd things about Abbie ranges from an accent which varies between American and British to always being captured in soft lighting or a golden haze and an obsession with the Don MaClean song, American Pie. The film opens with a statue of Lord Shiva, and towards the middle of the plot, Abbie sports a pottu. The Indian elements dont seem to gel with the tale which is about Abbie and her best friend, the gay Robert, who have a baby because of a one-night stand. They decide to raise the child and be a family. A decade later, along comes handsome hunk, Ben (Benjamin Bratt). Theres tension in the happy family, leading to a custody battle.

Madonna 's second go at directing a feature length film, "W.E.", won't see its U.S. release until 2012, but the trailer for the semi-historical romantic drama has just been released. Starring James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough as King Edward VIII and his lover Wallis Simpson, "W.E." tells the story of when the monarch abdicated his throne in 1936 to marry the twice-divorced American. The kicker, though, is that the love story is seen through the eyes of a modern day New Yorker played by Abbie Cornish. A radiant-looking Madonna has already done a wealth of promotion for the film, including high profile appearances at film festivals in London, Toronto and Venice. The multi-faceted star's previous directing credit on a feature was in the 2008 comedy "Filth and Wisdom," about a Ukrainian Gypsy and his two roommates in London. Her last big screen appearance as an actress came in 2002's "Die Another Day." Watch the "W.E."...

By Jenna Gregory on Monday 14 November 2011 Rex It seems Madonna has finally succumbed to the celebrity fragrance market. The queen of pop revealed she will be launching her first perfume, Truth or Dare, early next spring. Madonna signed the deal with Coty, announcing the Truth or Dare Eau de Parfum will hit the shelves by May 2012, after debuting exclusively at Macy's the previous month. The 53-year-old singer revealed to Women's Wear Daily, ' I have always been obsessed by fragrance . And for years I wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me but that other people could relate to as well. 'Something honest, and yet daring, hence the name Truth or Dare.' Trying to contextualise this idea, Madonna wanted the fragrance to smell 'dark and edgy' , so has mixed strong woody scents with a vanilla base and soft florals. The bottle itself looks sophisticated and classic , with edgy modern detailing. The fragrance range, consisting of a b...

Madonna's new single has leaked online. The track, called 'Gimme All Your Love', has surfaced in full on the internet, showcasing a more dance pop sound than the hard edged, hip-hop influence of her last album, 2008's 'Hard Candy'. Lyrics include the lines: "Don't play that stupid game / Cos I'm a different kind of girl / every record sounds the same / you've got to step inside my world / Give me all your love and give me your love/ Give me all your love today / Let's forget about time /And dance our lives away." Although the track sounds polished, it is possible the version leaked is not the final single, and could be a demo version. The 53-year-old hitmaker is rumoured to be playing at the Superbowl in the US on February 5 next year, where she is expected to debut the new single. Singer M.I.A and rapper Nicki Minaj are rumoured to be joining the 'Vogue' hitmaker for that performance, sparking rumours they could appear on her n...

Team Madonna is very upset and you know what you did .A track from the star's forthcoming album leaked this week, and Madge is said to be "very upset" with the responsible parties. Did we mention she's upset? Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, took to Twitter to clarify that the leaked version of the song "Give Me All Your Love" was just a demo , nowhere near the masterpiece that will allegedly appear on the disc. "Im very happy with the positive reaction to the demo, but we are very upset with whoever leaked the song!!!!!!!!" he wrote . Exclaim much? Well, here's why: Guy followed up with another tweet saying the pop queen was disappointed and that her "true fans wouldn't do this." We see their collective point: that making an album is a process, and the final product is what matters. But this whole thing smacks of hydrangeas . Expect to see a lot of Madonna in the new year.
