Here's a slightly risque sneak peek at MADONNA's new video.
The forthcoming single Give It 2 Me features super sexy dancing, with the
Queen of Pop cavorting around in her smalls again.

There is also an appearance from PHARRELL WILLIAMS strutting his
uber-cool self on set.
Madge - who celebrates her half century in August - looks a long way away from
early retirement.

Robin Williams in talks for 'Prince'
Would join cast that includes Dermot Mulroney
Director Michael Corrente and producer Marisa Polvino are corralling the cast for their political biopic "The Prince of Providence."
Robin Williams is in talks to join Dermot Mulroney, Adam Goldberg, Bradley Cooper, Ed Burns and Oliver Platt, who will play charismatic and corrupt Providence, R.I., Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci. Williams' participation will depend on scheduling issues to be determined. Steven Soderbergh has lent his name to present the production.
David Mamet, with a script polish by Howard Korder, adapted Michael Stanton's eponymous 2003 book about the man who dominated Providence's political machine for 21 years. The drama chronicles a roller-coaster series of ups and downs for one of America's longest-serving mayors.
Corrente will produce alongside Polvino ("The Door in the Floor"). The Collective's Shaun Redick will executive produce and rep the film's North American sales. Principal photography is set to begin late this summer in Rhode Island.
Corrente has a long relationship with Mamet, having directed a big-screen adaptation of his play "American Buffalo" starring Dustin Hoffman in 1996. The pair reunited in 2004 to work on "Prince" with Polvino.
Mulroney, Goldberg and Mamet are repped by ICM. Cooper, Burns and Williams are repped by CAA. Platt is repped by Endeavor. Corrente is represented by David Greenblatt at Key Creatives.

Confidentiality Agreement 'Missing', Says Lowe Nanny's Lawyers
Actor Rob Lowe has reportedly lost the confidentiality agreement he is using as a qualifying piece of evidence in the lawsuit he has filed against a former nanny, according to her lawyers. In April , the Lowe's former nanny Jessica Gibson filed a lawsuit in California in April alleging Lowe placed his hand inside her "pants in order to touch her crotch" and "grabbed Gibson's buttocks without consent" several times between September 2005 to January 2008. Gibson also alleges Lowe repeatedly exposed his penis to her, as well as frequently asking her "to touch his penis." Lowe counters Gibson for violating a confidentiality agreement, defamation and infliction of emotional distress. However, in court papers filed on Thursday at Santa Barbara's Superior Court, California, Gibson's lawyers asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit after Lowe's legal team revealed the document was "missing", according to People.com. The dismissal motion states: "In effect, Ms. Gibson has been sued for breach of a nonexistent contract. The Lowes set out to punish Ms. Gibson ... and intimidate any and all who might want to assert (their rights)." Gibson, 24, denies she was ever made to sign a confidentiality agreement before or during her time with the Lowes. But, a source tells People.com, "Everyone who works for Rob knows that confidentiality agreements must be signed. There are plenty people who can verify that Jessica signed one. But after her employment ended, the papers went missing." When questioned about the "missing" document, Lowe's lawyer Larry Stein answered, "We'll be responding to this in court, which is the appropriate way." Lowe faces a lawsuit from a second nanny, Laura Boyce, who also accuses the star of harassment. A hearing on the case is set for 19 June .

Spacey slams BBC talent searches
Kevin Spacey has slammed the BBC for being too commercial and over-promoting musicals at the expense of theatre through its Andrew Lloyd-Webber talent search shows.
The Hollywood star, who is currently artistic director at the Old Vic theatre in London, told a BBC journalist that, by giving the musical talent searches prime time exposure, the BBC was "crossing the line" and operating too commercially.
He said: "I felt that was essentially a 13-week promotion for a musical - where's our 13-week programme? When are they going to do one about a play?
He continued: "I've spoken to your (the BBC's) chairman and he's yet to get back to me about it. You're not a commercial operation and I thought it was crossing the line unfairly. I think it's imbalanced."
Spacey also warned that if theatre did not begin to connect with a youth audience it would, "lose them all to TV" and called for the return of the discontinued BBC series 'Play for Today'.
The BBC has responded by saying that the musical programmes were not "unduly promotional" and that they had no commercial interest in the ensuing musicals.
It released a statement saying: "The BBC does not itself stage musicals so we have worked with first class partners from the world of musical theatre.
"The show ('I'd Do Anything') is about finding new talent, and in order for this challenge to have true credibility with the voting audience the role has to be a real one.
"Even though we are casting specific parts, other West End shows are always reflected in the series."
It added: "The BBC doesn't have any commercial interest in the subsequent West End production, or any related spin-offs such as touring productions.
"We're fully aware of the need to ensure that 'I'd Do Anything' is not 'unduly promotional' and will continue to take steps to ensure that the programme meets with all BBC Editorial Guidelines as with previous productions.
"The BBC has a long-standing commitment as a patron of the arts."
