Madonna To Organize Charity Concert In Malawi This Fall

Posted on Tue Jul 27th, 2010 10:35am PDT       By X17 Staff

madonnamalawiconcert.jpg Madonna is reportedly planning a huge charity concert in Malawi this September, according to the Daily Mirror. The fundraiser will be shown on TV around the world, and Madonna is already trying to get pals such as U2 singer Bono to perform at the Walk Out of Poverty show.

A source at her Raising Malawi Foundation told a reporter at the Mirror, "Plans are in place to make this the biggest fund-raiser the world has ever seen. Madonna is throwing everything into it. She knows the bigger the event the more money will be raised."

Over 60,000 fans will get free tickets for the concert at a stadium in Blantyre, Malawi, but TV rights and merchandising will bring in millions of dollars, which will presumably go to Madonna's Raising Malawi charity.

Justin Timberlake Latest Star To Be Considered For Simon's Replacement On Idol

Justin Timberlake's name has been added to a long list of possible seat-fillers to take over the spot left vacant by Simon Cowell for the next season of American Idol.

Producers have been pursuing JT as well as musicians Elton John, Harry Connick, Jr., and Chris Isaak to add some musical expertise to the panel which currently consists of Randy Jackson, Ellen Degeneres and Kara DioGuardi.

Although there's been much said about finding a replacement for Simon, the entire panel could be replaced with new judges, says THR.

Fox is trying to bring back former Idol and current So You Think You Can Dance executive producer Nigel Lythgoe to try to revive the show that's seen its ratings slip in recent years. Lythgoe has previously stated that he'd replace ALL the judges if it were up to him.

Course, Ellen's got a mult-year contract and Randy's got one more left on his, so that might not be realistic. But Lythgoe's at least already got a firm idea of who he'd like to see on the panel: Elton John, Usher and Paula Abdul.

Now THAT I'd tune in for!

What is it with these Victoria's Secret Angels? They get pregnant, have a baby and then 4 weeks later they're back in a bikini working it for the cameras! Okay, so it was more like 8 months for Adriana Lima, but still!

The busty babe was snapped on the beach in St. Barth at a VS photo shoot, and we don't know who's hotter -- Adriana or fellow Brazilian beauty Alessandra Ambrosio. Do we have to pick?

Rihanna will make her feature film debut in Battleship, which also stars True Blood stud Alexander Skarsgard and hot newcomer Taylor Kitsch.

Peter Berg will direct the picture, which is based on Hasbro's naval combat board game. The film is set at sea, in the air and on land in a "battle for planet survival against a superior force," according to Variety. Kitsch stars as a naval officer who leads the fight and Skarsgard will play his brother. It's not known what sort of role Rihanna will have, but we're hoping someone comes after her with a bottle of dark hair dye before cameras start rolling!

Battleship has a tentative release date of May 25, 2012.

Looking at Ke$ha ... it's hard to believe that she started out as a country singer in Nashville. The now pop star is gracing the cover of Paper Magazine's Music Issue looking every bit like the sexy wreck we love!

When it comes to having fun with her music, Ke$ha, 23, tells the mag:

    "I'm writing songs about brushing my teeth with Jack Daniels. It doesn't have to be so serious all the time -- especially with pop music. I don't take myself very seriously. I don't think I should or could."


Guess her philosophy on having a sense of humor has paid off. TiK ToK on the clock ... doesn't sound like her 15 minutes are going to be ending anytime soon.
