Katy Perry wants career like Madonna
Katy Perry talked about Madonna in a recent interview for L’Uomo Vogue…

She kept everybody interested because you never knew what she was going to do next, but whatever she delivered was a solid product.
I just hope to be the same. I hope to continually make people interested and hopefully in 10 years look back and have written songs that have become timeless.

Who’s been your inspiration?
The main person who’s still doing it is Madonna.
She was my idol at fifteen. I was prancing around with my laced gloves on.
Waiting for the “Justify my Love” video later on… That was back in the day you didn’t catch it on YouTube. You had to wait up and watch it on tv.

Watch What Happens Live

Who would you say has more talent: Lady Gaga or Madonna?
Ooooh! You’ve gone straight for the jugular.
I’m gonna go with… for hanging in there and still doing what she does… I’m gonna go with Madonna.

2012 PopSugar 100 List

For the sixth year in a row, Madonna made the PopSugar’s 100 list of the year!
Between an Oscar nomination, a Golden Globe win, a Super Bowl performance, a world tour, and a No. 1 album, it’s hard to imagine this year getting much better for Madonna. Madonna showed off her film W.E. around the world and enjoyed some award season success for that film. Madonna made headlines with her awesome Super Bowl performance, and her album MDNA debuted at the top of the charts. Now, Madonna kicked off her most recent tour in Tel Aviv, and it will take her all over the globe over the next few months.

On the love front, Madonna is dating 24-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat. Madonna is still working with her daughter Lourdes on their Material Girl clothing line, and she, of course, is still a doting mom to Rocco, David Banda, and Mercy.

Madonna Nipple Flash MDNA Tour Birthday Cake by Tony “The Pastryarch” Albanese

I made this cake 100% by hand with modeling chocolate of Madonna’s infamous nipple/breast flash in Istanbul during “Human Nature” on The MDNA Tour for my Birthday. I’m going back to my “Cake Boss” ‘erotic, exotic’ roots and doing naughty things with modeling chocolate! 😉 Inside the cake was 2 layers of from-scratch brownie sheets with vanilla frosting in the middle…delicious! The whole thing was completely edible. One of my favorite cakes to date!
