Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Welcomes New Queen: Madonna

The Waldorf-Astoria in NYC rocked last night to welcome the newest class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Madonna looked happy to accept the honor and while Guy Ritchie wasn't around, her Hard Candy collaborator Justin Timberlake was there to help celebrate. Fellow inductees include John Mellencamp and Leonard Cohen. Madonna didn't sing, but she did ask Iggy Pop to come and play which he did with no shirt (of course). On stage Madonna said, "Thirty-five years later, people are still encouraging me to believe in my dreams. What more could I ask for?" While Justin took a shot at a certain ex, "The world is full of Madonna wannabes. I might have even dated a couple, but there is truly only one Madonna." Seems a little unnecessary of JT, but congrats to all the new Rock and Roll Hall of Famers!

In typical Madonna fashion she kept things risqué even without any racy performance — she joked on stage about telling JT to drop his pants to give him a B12 shot and her past drug use including "smoking a joint" when she met her publicist Liz Rosenberg and taking ecstasy with a music exec after giving him her first demo. Yeah, I don't think 50's going to slow her down any at all.

To see more of the ceremony and backstage including Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Patti Labelle, Ben Harper, Christy Turlington, Ed Burns, Michael J Fox, Seth Meyers, Tom Hanks and others just read more

    In that one picture, she is squeezing her hands together so tight (so it will make her muscles pop out) that they look somewhat deformed. You can't even tell her fingers apart from her other fingers.

    Yeah loveallstar it's quite obvious he was talking about Britney. It's not much a low blow if she's a self-confessed Madonna wannabe much like he's a self-confessed Michael Jackson wannabe. Smiling

    no-one is going to mention how strange her face looks??? could it be pulled any tighter. it looks like it's a struggle for her just to smile.

    yeh it's true Justin is not one to talk, since he's also so much of a Michael wannabe - hope it was all in jest.

    I bet Justin amd Madonna hooked up and eventually she will write a tell all book about it. She looks pretty good and so does Justin but as usual their personalities and comments make them not so attractive. I am willing to bet Madonna is taking some type of steroids. It is so hard for women to get arms like that from just lifting weights.

    I just don't like how Madonna looks anymore, she reminds me of a weird crossing between a Stepford-type wife and a Soviet weightlifter. Her hair realy ages her, while her face is pulled so tight it looks like it hurts. As a style, she looks closer to 60 than 50.

    As for Justin, I am surprised that he would draw attention to someone who is obviously going through a real difficult time in her life. It just seems very inappropriate and unnecessary.

    that's just a little strange to me that the event was held in NYC when the hall of fame is in ohio - but hey - i can't ever complain when there are celebs around Smiling

    i think that it's great that she's getting honored - she really is an icon to the music industry!

    She looks gnarly. Like a tree. Her fingers. Oh no! Well, ok. I guess. Her face looks ironed out. I bet her Guy is with the kids. And JT is such a cheeseball. That new single. Corny. I mean. Maybe it will grow on me. But nothing like Hung up..

    Congrats to Madonna, she deserves that honor for sure. Oh, and JT is a huge dork, but there is no surprise here.

    Why is that place called the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? Madonna and many others inducted were hardly Rock n Rollers. It should be called the Musical or Recording Hall of Fame or something else more appropriate. Sorry, just a little random thing that bugs me.

    Justin in an ASS!

    All of his comments lately, not to mention all the rumors surrounding him that claim how crappy he is to his fans, just show that he's an immature, pompous jerk! Can't stand him. His music's alright, some of it... But talk about being a wannabee... Pot, kettle, black. Hello???

    I agree with Nyra, soon we'll hear of a split between her and Guy. They just don't seem like a couple anymore.

    Maddona has hideous man arms and her face is a frozen fug mess. WTF is she doing in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame anyway? She's a lot of things, but rock & roll is not one of them. As for Justin, he is one classless act and just another Michael Jackson wannabe (which is never going to be).
