Madonna Drops Aldo Pseudo-Product Placement Into New Song

Madonna Drops Aldo Pseudo-Product Placement Into New Song
As anyone with Internet access and even a passing interest in pop culture surely knows, Madonna’s album MDNA finally dropped this week to mixed reviews. Though the so-called Material Girl collaborated with practically all of the music industry’s current juggernauts (barring, sadly, Diplo, who might have worked wonders), the album doesn’t seem to have anything distinctly Madge about it, save a few punk rock lyrics about divorce here and there. But that doesn’t mean she’s not going to make a whole lot of money from it.

Ever the shrewd businesswoman, Madonna has injected her latest work with a reference to one of her other business projects—a practice long-established in the hip-hop world and grimly tolerated in many big budget music videos. But it’s weird.

As Jezebel notes, in the song “I Don’t Give A,” Madonna’s technicolor toady Nicki Minaj raps, “We material girls, ain’t nobody hotter, fox collar/See I really can’t relate to your Volvo, and you can’t get these shoes at Aldo.”

Okay, Nicki wears shoes that are beyond most people’s grasp. Noted. But considering Madonna’s upcoming shoe line Truth or Dare is to be produced by Aldo, the name-dropping is more than a little bizarre.

Yana Gupta  Upskirt Controversy is her middle name and she lives up to that title with gusto. But it's Yana's sense of humour that really stands out about her. She shrugs off her latest scandal with a laugh, saying "I'm the panty-less girl! I simply wasn't expecting the issue to blow up like that. I just thought, 'keep your legs crossed, no big deal,' but it wasn't that simple. But being in this industry, you learn that these things come and go all the time. You can stress yourself out or let them be." That apart, Yana's had a finger in several pies so far. From modeling, to acting and now, a music album and a book.

The Oscar-winning actress owned the property before she married the West Coast Choppers CEO. Since arriving at the house — which she purchased in 2001 — Bullock has welcomed a number of well-wishers and supporters, according to RadarOnline. “She is here,” confirmed a friend who went to visit the star on Thursday. “There has been a lot of activity at the house,” said a fellow resident. “There have been a few cars going in and out of her gate and people going in there in the last few days. “It’s usually very quiet here.” On Saturday morning, Bullock’s trashcans were taken off the street by an unknown male, who refused to speak to photographers camped outside. Meanwhile, Bullock’s friends have said it’s unlikely she’ll get back with James. “Knowing the kind of person she is, I’d be shocked if she contemplated going...
