Madonna Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Labels:

Inductee Madonna shows off her thighs during a see-through moment at the 2008 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony held at NYC’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Monday.

“I’ve always been fortunate to have people around me who believed in me,” Madonna said as she accepted her award. “Life, like art, is a collaboration. I did not get here on my own. And why would I want to? [Even the people who] said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn’t sing, that I was a one-hit wonder, they helped me, too. They inspired me because they made me question myself repeatedly and pushed me to be better.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Madonna’s wardrobe selection?

Jude Law pays a visit to ex-wife Sadie Frost’s London home on Monday.

The couple split back in 2003 after six years of marriage.

Terry Gilliam and the producers of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus just confirmed rumors today that Jude, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell will help complete the film following the sudden death of Heath Ledger on Jan. 22.

“I am grateful to Johnny, Colin and Jude for coming on board and to everyone else who has made it possible for us to finish the film,” added director Terry Gilliam. “I am delighted that Heath’s brilliant performance can be shared with the world. We are looking forward to finishing the movie and, through the film, with a modicum of humility, being able to touch people’s hearts and souls as Heath was able to do.”

Vanessa Hudgens is Emo

Labels:

Vanessa Hudgens sits down with Entertainment Tonight to talk about her new teenage romance, Will.

The 19-year-old High School Musical star plays Sa5m (the “five” is silent), a teenage misfit caught up in her high-school’s battle of the bands.

“My look is definitely more dark than in High School Musical,” says Vanessa. “I play kind of the ‘emo, kept away from everybody else in her own world’ kinda girl. She wears a loo of black. She always has longsleeves with thumbs in them.”

Added Vanessa about her costar Gaelen Connell, who plays Will, “We do have a kiss scene–a very funny, awkward kiss scene.”

And Vanessa is glad she didn’t go through the drama a normal kid would get during their teenage years: “Honestly, I never went to high school. I was home schooled all my high school years. Part of me wants to wish that I did go to high school. I’m living my high school experiences through the movies I do–all of them seem to take place in high school. But missing all the drama is not a problem with me.”

Former friends star Lisa Kudrow (pictured below) also plays Will’s mom. Watch the video at ETonline.com
