….We think we’ve figured why Michael Jackson avoided Madonna for more than a decade….
Michael Jackson thought Madonna was “sincerely in love” with him — despite harboring a deep-seated envy over his incredibly successful career.
The late King of Pop – who died in June from acute Propofol intoxication – claimed Madonna once threw herself at him, but he turned down the “Vogue” singer’s advances because he didn’t find her “sexy.”
We hear Her “Madgesty,” The Queen of Pop herself Madonna, is in discussions to make her first appearance on NBC’s long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live in 16 years sometime during the show’s 35th season — which premieres this weekend with special guest host Megan Fox.
We’re not sure just yet whether Madge will be hosting, performing, or just making a cameo appearance.
Michael Jackson approached his good friend Madonna to write a song for him – but rejected the track because it was too “provocative.”
The King Of Pop became friends with the Material Girl in the early 1990s, but turned down a track she offered him because of its raunchy lyrics.
Madonna admits she was shocked by the rejection, because MJ knew provocative songs made her famous.
“We spent time together and became friends. It just never happened. I wrote words and presented them to him, but he didn’t want to go there,” the “Vogue” star explains. “He didn’t want to be provocative. I said, ‘Well, why come to me?’ It’s like asking Quentin Tarantino to not put any violence in his films. I felt he was too shy.”
So much for a family reunion. Madge’s bitchy brother hates her hair and her boyfriend! The pair haven’t spoken since Christopher Ciccone released a scandalous tell-all book, Life With My Sister Madonna, in the summer of 2008, but that didn’t stop the outspoken sib from rasing his big sis in a bitchy tirade to E! this week.
“She looked like Rachel Zoe gone horribly wrong!” he chuckled when quizzed about about the Queen of Pop’s subdued look at the 2009 MTV VMAs last weekend. “It proves the point that you can judge a person by the company they keep — or don’t keep,” he added.
“It’s painfully apparent that Jesus may be able to turn water into wine, but your basic blow dryer eludes him.”
Madonna and Janet Jackson are planning a duet tribute to Michael Jackson.
The two singers are working on a smash single to honor the late King of Pop after bonding over dinner following Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards in New York, OK! Magazine reported Thursday.
Janet honored her brother with a lively dance tribute and Madonna made a tearful six minute speech about her friendship with the music icon in a moving opening to the ceremony.
“With that one performance Janet proved she’s back on top of her game. And who better to join forces with than Madonna?” an insider blabs.
Madge’s dream of singing with MJ was dashed by his death llast June, and now the Queen of Pop is plotting the next best thing – working with his kid sister.
“It was a meeting of two great musical minds. Madonna was so impressed with Janet’s tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honour him by doing something together. There was definitely something very interesting being planned between them.”
Madonna called Michael Jackson a “hero,” a “king” and a “human being” as she opened MTV’s 26th Annual Video Music Awards with a tribute to the King of Pop on Sunday night.
Madge described her early friendship with MJ and said she regretted losing touch with her old friend over time.
“For one reason or another we fell out of touch, then the witch hunt began and it seemed like one story after another came out about Michael,” Madonna said in speaking to the audience.

Madonna has extended an olive branch to the brother who once published a tell-all book about her.
The “Into The Groove” singer famously fell out with her younger brother, Christopher Ciconne, after he wrote the 2008 book Life With My Sister Madonna, which branded Madge a control freak and alleged her then husband Guy Ritchie was a homophobe responsible for the breakdown of his relationship with his sister.
“The Madonna I once knew is lost to me for ever, I am sorry for her and us,” Christopher wrote.

Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn has turned to a familiar support system now that his actress wife Robin Wright-Penn has kicked him to the curb for the final time — ex-wife Madonna!
The volatile pair, who were married from 1985-1989, reconnected after having cocktails at New York’s Greenwich Hotel last November and have remained on good terms ever since.
Madonna, who divorced hubby Guy Ritchie earlier this year, has been helping Sean, 49, through the latest in series of fallouts with Robin, In Touch Weekly claims on the pages of its Sept. 14 issue. And although she’s currently dating 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz, sources say a reunion could be on the horizon for the Hollywood exes who famously co-starred in the 1986 stinker Shanghai Surprise.
“Madonna still considers Sean her soulmate,” her friend tells In Touch. “It’s highly possible that she and Sean will somehow get back together now that they’ll both be divorced.”
Madonna is putting those freakishly-toned arms to good use. The Queen of Pop — known for her well-toned physique and strict diet and exercise regime — is set to take part in 151 mile marathon
The 51-year-old singer is training for the Marathon des Sables in Morocco, which is due to take place in next April
“She’s always been in great shape, but she is now taking things to a whole other level. She is serious about doing it,” an informant has revealed to The Daily Mirror.
