Modonna's New Ad

Madonna is coming in a new ad campaign. In this ad, she is appearing for Dolce & Gabbana performing mundane tasks around the house. The star poses eating pasta, peeling fruit and washing dishes in low-cut designer clothing.

The campaign - shot in New York City last month - will reveal Madonna’s interpretation of a modern day version of iconic Italian actress Anna Magnani. Madonna was photographed in a domestic setting - intimate, sensual and in constant motion – as if the images were frames from a black and white film.

The resulting photos which will appear in magazines around the globe beginning of January reveal a never before seen side of one of the world’s most famous women.

The photos were taken by celebrity photographer Steven Klein.

Leonardo Starring In Mel Gibson's "The Viking"

Mel Gibson is set to direct a movie about Vikings, with help from producer Graham King, who produced “The Departed,” and staring Leonardo DiCaprio, who also stared in “The Departed.” The Viking flick is set to start filming next fall, which means it will probably be released sometime the following year. The Viking film has not yet been named, but William Monahan, who also helped with “The Departed”, is currently writing it.

No plot has been revealed yet, but it is assumed that it will be a very bloody, very action-packed epic movie, similar to “Braveheart,” which Gibson directed. Hollywood hasn’t seen a decent Viking movie since “The Vikings,” in 1958. With the producer, screenwriter, and star, of the Oscar winning film “The Departed,” there are high hopes for this to be another one of Gibson’s impressive historical film.

Victoria Needs Foot Surgery

Victoria Beckham has previously called her feet "the bane of my life" -- and not just because of her obsessive compulsion to toss away millions on shoes, shoes, and more shoes. According to U.K. paper the Daily Mail -- and more than a few icky close-up photos of Beckham's dogs -- the world's most fabulous footballer's wife has a raging case of bunions.

"She is suffering from shooting pain from the bunions," a snitch told the paper.The painful foot condition occurs when a a bony prominence protrudes from the foot, usually at the base of the big toe. Women are the main sufferers, as the cause is most often due to unsuitable footwear.

"Normally, she kicks off her shoes in the house, but she has been out so much recently in high heels that she is really feeling it." (We don't totally buy that last statement. Posh wears five-inch Louboutins when playing with her kids in the sandbox; if Isotoner makes a stiletto, she's wearing that around the house.)

According to reports, Beckham's been advised to get surgery on her feet, but is ignoring the advice, instead doing therapeutic exercises, trying out insoles and dousing her skin-wheels in ice to stave off the inevitable.

Beckham has famously refused to wear flats, saying “unless they’re on a ballet dancer doing ballet, I just don’t get it. I love heels.”

Jolie Dislikes Obama

Barack Obama has a new threat to deal with, and it comes in the form of Angelina Jolie. Angelina Jolie isn't happy with the state of politics today … and that includes President Barack Obama.

According to US Magazine a source close to Jolie says when asked about Obama she said she "hates him". The source goes on further to say "She's into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise". Should we expect to see Jolie rallying against Democrats like her Father Jon Voight? It's not likely. "Angie isn't Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors," the source says.

Brad Pitt is a huge fan of Obama and the political differences between Pitt and Jolie causes a lot of friction in the household. "They get into nasty arguments all the time about it," the source says. "She doesn't respect Brad when it comes to politics, but, in the end, this won't tear them apart."

Devid Beckham In New Hairstyle

Amongst the hairstyles for the year 2009, there is an updated version of a haircut that was popular in the 1980’s. The updated version of the mullet, but this style has it’s own place on the popular styles. The mullet that will be coming out in the year 2009 is for fine hair that is thin. The haircut will be made in a multiple of different layers. The haircut will be short over the ears and around the banks while the back of the hair is left long.

David Beckham also likes the mullet and Mohican styles in which the hair in the mid if the head are generally longer than the rest of the hair. His hair is blonde and the gelled and messy looks bring out the macho side of this player.

Liverpool boss Benitez defends 'Rafa's rant' at Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has had 10 months to reflect on one of the defining moments of last season but the Spaniard is still standing by his amazing rant about Sir Alex Ferguson.

Benitez put a great deal of preparation into his list of complaints about the Manchester United boss and delivered his speech in a calm manner. But the material was dynamite as he focused on Ferguson's complaints about fixtures and his

perceived bullying of referees.

The outburst came ahead of the Reds' match at Stoke where victory would have allowed Benitez to look down on the rest of the Premier League. But after drawing at the Britannia Stadium it was widely considered the Anfield chief had failed in an attempt to take on Ferguson at mind games.

Earlier this month Ferguson was handed a touchline ban after his post-match complaints about referee Alan Wiley’s fitness, so, does Benitez allow himself a wry smile?

Talking point: Benitez (right) had plenty to say about Old Trafford chief Ferguson

'No,' he said. 'I thought it was the best way to put things across and that people would see something that everybody knew and maybe no one could say. I said it. I was talking about facts,' he told The Times.

'Now the situation is different, but you still see things that you could say...

'It’s better to leave it and focus on my team and try to improve our performance. That’s the best way to help my team.
