The "Vogue" singer, 50, covers the March 2009 issue of W and then uncovers, well, a lot, including über-hot 22-year-old boy toy (and rumored fling) Jesus Luz. Even though Madge dons black lingerie and allows her Brazilian model costar to do a majority of the stripping down, the 46-page "One Night in Rio" photo spread by famed snapper Steven Klein certainly gets a bit more sticky (and steamy!) than sweet.

Peter Gabriel recusa-se a subir ao Palco nos Oscars...
The singer has pulled out of performing his Best Song nomination on the awards show after producers, in one of their many concerted efforts this year to increase telecast ratings and otherwise shake things up, limited him to just 65 seconds on stage.
His nominated tune, "Down to Earth" from Wall-E, clocks in at just under six minutes.
"I'm an old fart and it's not going to do me any harm to make a little protest," Gabriel said in a video posted to his Website. "But the ceremony should be fun and I'm looking forward to it."
In his place, Gabriel said he hopes the Soweto Gospel Choir would step in to perform the highly condensed version of the song, which is expected to be performed as part of a medley with the other two Best Song nominees, A.R. Rahman's "Jai Ho" and "O Saya," both from Slumdog Millionaire.
"I do think it's a bit unfortunate," Gabriel said of producers' decision to shoehorn the songs into one performance. "The songwriters, even though they're a small part of the filmmaking process, we still work bloody hard and I think deserve a place in the ceremony as well."
Despite his decision not to take to the stage, Gabriel will still be in attendance at the 81st Annual Academy Awards Feb. 22. The Academy has yet to comment on Gabriel's withdrawal.

História é feita: Michelle Obama na capa da Vogue
Future PlansIn the interview, Obama talks about getting used to Washington and her plans for being a first lady – and first mom. "I'm going to try to take [our two daughters] to school every morning – as much as I can," she says, according to the Post. "But there's also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won't be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids' school. I want to know the teacher; I want to know the other parents." As for why Vogue chose to feature Obama on the cover, the magazine's editor Anna Wintour writes, "Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama's election campaign, though I don't think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama's wardrobe ... It's inspiring to see our first lady so serene and secure in her personal style."
Rihanna espancada pelo namorado
Segundo o jornal LA Times, as agressões aconteceram no domingo de manhã: a polícia foi chamada aos arredores de um parque de Los Angeles onde encontrou a vítima de agressão num veículo estacionado (Brown já não estava no local). Rihanna tinha "feridas visíveis na face, incluindo sangue no nariz e marcas de dentadas nos braços", cita o Guardian.
O músico de 19 anos foi detido pela polícia após ter sido identificado como agressor mas saiu prontamente em liberdade depois de ter pago uma fiança de 50 mil dólares. O julgamento para responder a acusações de "agressão com arma mortífera" está marcado para o dia 5 de Março - apesar de não ter sido encontrada uma arma no local do crime, as acusações podem estar ligadas ao facto de Brown ser praticante de artes marciais, diz o Guardian.
O casal foi fotografado numa festa na noite anterior ao sucedido, onde várias testemunhas garantem ter assistido a uma acalorada discussão. Os assessores de imprensa de Rihanna não confirmaram o sucedido mas garantem que a cantora se encontra bem. Brown, por seu lado, já contratou o advogado que defendeu Michael Jackson das acusações de pedofilia.
Nem Chris Brown nem Rihanna compareceram à entrega dos prémios Grammy. O músico, que devia ter actuado na cerimónia, foi substituído no alinhamento do espectáculo pelo veterano Al Green e também já sofre outro tipo de consequências: um dos seus patrocinadores, uma marca de pastilhas elásticas, suspendeu o patrocínio por estar preocupado com as graves acusações de

Mick Jagger ao apresentar os Nomeados e a entregar o Prémio de Melhor Filme do Ano nos BAFTAs
Mick Jagger delivered the top prize – to the evening's big winner, Slumdog Millionaire – and the best line of the evening – about Brad Pitt – at Sunday's 2009 British Academy Film Awards.
Explaining what he was doing at a movie event the same night as the Grammys, the Rolling Stone said he was part of a rock star-movie star exchange program. "Sir Anthony Hopkins is in the recording studio with Amy Winehouse," joked Jagger, "and we are hoping that next week Sir Brad and all the Pitt family will be performing The Sound of Music at the Brit awards."
Sitting in the audience with fellow nominee (for Changeling) Angelina Jolie, Pitt cracked up and applauded along with the rest of the crowd inside London's Royal Opera House.
While Danny Boyle's Slumdog picked up seven BAFTAs – best film, director, screenplay, score, sound, editing and cinematography – Pitt's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button racked up three: for production design, makeup and hair and special visual effects.
