The kickoff of Madonna's much ballyhooed "MDNA Tour" has been pushed back a couple of days due to production delays, according to concert promoter Live Nation.
Throughout her now ancient career (how ancient? More than two billion people have been born since "Like a Virgin," or roughly two percent of everyone who has ever lived on this planet), one thing remains constant: Madonna will change. 
Madonna has responded to electronic dance musician Deadmau5's slams via social media with some volleys of her own.
For dance music lovers, Miami was the place to be this weekend (3/23-25) when the annual Ultra Music Festival hosted in excess of 160,000 fans who packed into the city's Bayfront Park.
Madonna made a surprise appearance at last weekend's electronic-oriented Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and some comments she made from the stage drew the ire of one of Deadmau5, one of electronic dance music's biggest stars.
Madonna could find herself in hot water if she goes through with her promise to speak out against a local anti-gay law when she performs this summer in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Quebec City officials have cleared the way to allow Madonna to perform a concert in September at a historic battlefield site, ruffling the feathers of some local citizens who have pointed out that the park has a rule against for-profit events.
The mostly sold-out North American portion of Madonna's worldwide run just got a little longer, as a few more shows have been scattered throughout the summer and fall outing.
