The 51-year-old singer is creating the range, named MG Icon, in joint venture with her manager Guy Oseary and Iconix - the company behind Badgley Mischka and Candie’s.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the singer may become the latest celebrity connected to a product line sold at Macy’s. The 51-year-old is reportedly nearing a deal that would have her name linked to contemporary women’s collection.

Potential items sold would include accessories, clothing, intimates and shoes. Brand names in contention for the new lines include “Material Girl” (that seems too easy a choice to me) and “Truth or Dare” (for the lingerie department).

Three years ago, Madonna also launched “M by Madonna,” which sold in H&M stores.

Madonna Exercises For Skimpy Stage Costumes

Madonna on stageMadonna insists working out is part of her job.

The 51-year-old singer - who has previously faced criticism for her overly-toned physique - claims it is important for her to exercise regularly as she has to look as good as she can when wearing her skimpy stage outfits.

“I do it for health reasons, and for aesthetic reasons. If I have to go out on stage and, you know, jump around in a pair of hot pants I better look good and also when I perform I’m like an athlete and I have to be in good shape. I’m not panicked, I just know what my job is and I know that if I want to be able to wear whatever I want to wear on stage then my body better look good.”

It has previously been claimed that Madonna planned to “tone down” her sinewy arms. A source said, “There aren’t many women her age who have a body like that but even Madonna may have to admit this time she might have to tone it down. “She asked her trainer Tracy Anderson what she could do to stop her arms looking so sinewy. Tracy told her to do more stretching exercises to make them look leaner and Madonna has decided to follow her advice.”


Madonna Stars in Dolce & Gabbana Campaign

Jesus Luz, Stefano Gabbana, Domenico Dolce, and MadonnaThe Queen of Pop has seemed to move on from Marc Jacobs and has now moved on to cozying up with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, starring in their upcoming Spring/Summer ‘10 ad campaign.

While the Dolce & Gabbana pair have worked with Madonna in the past for her stage costumes, she has never taken to glossy pages for them until now. It probably helps that her current boy toy, model Jesus Luz, starred in the previous ad campaign for their fall line (he probably wants to remain employed).

“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” the designing duo said.

Shot last week in New York City by celebrated photographer Steven Klein, I’m fairly excited for the photos; however, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to recognize her face this time around (as opposed to her controversial Louis Vuitton ads that were highly edited).

Madonna’s Exercise Regime Revealed

Madonna with trainer Tracy AndersonMadonna trains for two hours a day, six days a week.

The “Material Girl” singer, famed for her sculptured body, works hard with personal trainer Tracy Anderson to maintain her physique but is careful she doesn’t look too muscular.

“We train for two hours six days a week. We do 45 minutes of dance aerobics, followed by work on muscle tone, flexibility and definition. There’s no running and no weights bigger than three pounds, because Madonna doesn’t want to bulk up.”

Although Madonna has drawn criticism for her toned arms in recent months, Tracy insists she has a “perfect” figure and looks better than American First Lady Michelle Obama.

“Madonna’s body is perfect. She has no fat, no cellulite, she is so toned, and her arms are amazing. Michelle Obama’s arms look beautiful, but I think I could get her into even better shape.”

Tracy also trains Madonna’s friend Gwyneth Paltrow and recently praised the actress’ dedication to her exercise regime: “In the past, she’d had times when she was very, very thin, but never this toned. Her definition is unreal.”


Matthew Williamson’s Mother Muse

Matthew WilliamsonMatthew Williamson is a mama’s boy! The recent H&M collaborator cites his mother as his first muse.

The British designer, who has worked with stars including supermodel Kate Moss, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, says his mother’s flawless look motivated him to enter fashion.

He explained to VogueTV: “I think my first fashion moment was watching my mom prepare for work. She used to prepare meticulously the night before and I would sit at the edge of the bed and question her. She was a little bit like my first muse.”

Matthew has since been inspired by Jade Jagger and actress Sienna Miller. He has been vocal about his love of Sienna’s style, saying he admires the way she has adapted her look during the ongoing global financial crisis:

“The credit crunch means people spend on things they love rather than trends. Sienna Miller looks great because she’s not afraid to mix designer pieces with cheaper things. Iconic pieces are good buys at the moment. A brightly colored belt is my all-time tip—a cinched waist looks great on everybody. A pink patent-leather studded belt transforms a T-shirt dress from being casual and beach-y to a glamorous silhouette.”
