Did you know?
Krump is the new Vogue. Madonna highlights an underground dance form, known as krumping. She was introduced to it from a dancer on the last tour and features it on the The Tube scenes in 'Hung Up', her latest video. When asked to describe the movement's appeal, Madonna states "there is something raw and theatrical, something Shakespearean. All hail the Krump!"

The artfom first originated as a response to the 1992 Rodney King riots and was called “Clowning". "The kids use the dance as an alternative to gangs and hustling. For the dancers, Krumping becomes a way of life – and, because it’s authentic expression (in complete opposition to the bling-bling hip-hop culture), the dance becomes a vital part of who they are."

To learn more, check out David LaChapelle's film, "Rize" on DVD now.

Madonna will grace the next cover of Rolling Stone. You can read the article "How Madonna Got Her Groove Back" online at www.rollingstone.com.

'Sorry' is set to be the follow-up single to 'Hung Up' off M's tenth studio album, Confessions on a Dancefloor, out this week! Its hot, give it a spin.
