Madonna will feature in a new Channel Four documentary entitled Viva La Diva.

The program is described as:
A feature-length documentary looking at the history of wild women and the most demanding divas of 20th-century popular culture, from early screen sirens such as Mae West and Lana Turner to pop prima donnas Madonna and Whitney Houston.

The program airs in the UK on Channel Four on 30 December 2001 9.00-10.35pm.

A brand new Madonna website has launched today, annodam.com - The Madonna Portal has taken the best of the independent fan sites and put them together in one handy place.
The fan sites featured are LittleStar, Candy Perfume Cupboard, Essential Madonna, Madonna Digitized, Mad-Eyes, MadonnaMax, Madonnapolis, Miss Boogie Woogie and Sidewalk Talk.

Go and take a look at www.annodam.com

Madonna and Guy attended the premiere in London of Mean Machine, a new film which Guy produced starring Vinnie Jones.
For more pictures, go to the gallery.

It has come to my attention that my avatars are now not showing-up on message boards or websites.
My webhost Angelfire seems to have stopped "remote linking" GIFs which means that my avatars will not display anywhere except on an Angelfire site.
I am currently searching for a new home for my website and avatars.
I hope you can all bear with me over this period, but I promise you that LittleStar's avatars will be back bigger and better than before.

Love LittleStar

The UK version of the National Enquirer (December 25 2001 issue) has named Madonna as it's Fashion Victim Of The Week.
She comes under fire for the outfit she wore in London recently (see The Latest London Look news item here at LittleStar).
The article has both front and rear view photographs of the outfit.

One year after marrying into britain, Madonna may just have qualified for british citizenship. Speaking to fans yesterday, she attacked 'lazy british workmen' as she described her despair with the renovation work going on in her central London home.
The £5.7 million five-storey Georgian townhouse in London has eight bedrooms, a lift, a library, living quarters for servants, a drawing room and a walled garden. But after spending nearly £1 million, she's griping about the lack of willing workers.
'I can't believe how people don't like to work,' she laughed. 'The work week starts at noon on Monday and ends at noon on Friday. I'm used to people in America working seven days a week. It's highly irritating. They leave work at five - and there are bank holidays every minute here.
When you hire an employee here, they remind you that they get four weeks' paid vacation.' And so Madonna finally becomes a member of the dissatisfied british aristocracy.

From The Daily Express
Stella McCartney joined Madonna and Guy at the Mirabelle restaurant in London.
The rift between the pair seems to be over. Stella has objected to Madonna wearing fur and Madonna's and Guy's shooting parties.

From heat magazine
On 03 December 2001 Madonna was snapped leaving her hotel to check up on her new London home.
The big fur hat and camouflage trousers seem to be Madonna's favourite at the moment!

Madonna received wide coverage in all the UK National newspapers today following her speech at the Tate britain last night.
Reactions were mixed, some papers condemning her for swearing on live TV.

A selection of the photographs from todays press can be seen here.

Madonna presented the Turner Prize to Martin Creed at the Tate britain gallery tonight.
She gave a wonderful speech, and looked gorgeous in a Stella McCartney designed trouser-suit.

Thank YOU sir! I'd like to thank you all for coming to my house, I hope you like my art collection. I have a new record in stores right now, it's called "GHV2" and Stella Mc.Cartney designed my clothes. Seriously... Welcome to Tate britain. It's a little bit strange handing out a prize for the "best" artist because there is no such thing as the "best" anything - there are only opinions. Personally I think award ceremonies are silly. Does anyone agree on the same thing? Never. Do awards make the world a better place? No... Does an artist whom wins an award become a better artist? DEFINITELY not really. Is it nice to win twenty grand? Definitely - but after spending so long in this city I can tell you that it won't last very long. What I do know is that art is at it's best when there is no money, because art has nothing to do with money and everything to do with love. And like love, it can be inspiring, inexplicable, provocative and sometimes infuriating. Nevertheless, we cannot live without it and that is why I'm here. Not because I think that one artist is better than another, but because I want to support any artist who not only has something to say, but the balls to say it. In a time when political correctness is valued over honesty, I would also like to say RIGHT ON, MOTHERF*CKERS". Everyone, EVERYONE is a winner. So.... And the winner is.... Huh.... Right, ahem, right.... And the name is Mrs. Ritchie thank YOU very much. Oh.... Oh! And the winner is Martin Creed. Don't spend it all in one place! Nice coat!

Thanks to Justin at Madonnarama for the transcript of the speech!

Photographs to follow tomorrow.
