Madonna graces the cover of "Fellow Traveler" China, November edition.

Madonna’s painful brush with horse riding has clearly not put her off the sport. The Material Girl is splashing out $10 million on a 30-acre horse farm in the ritzy Hamptons, some reports claim.

The singer is reportedly buying Wild Ocean Farm in Bridgehampton, New York, from fashion designer Calvin Klein’s ex-wife, Kelly Klein, who used the farm’s indoor and outdoor rings to train show horses. There is no house on the farm, just accommodation for a groom.

The star is also thought to be trying to buy 24 acres of a neighboring property on which to ride, for another $2.4 million. The purchase comes just months after she spent $32 million on a new townhouse in Manhattan’s swanky Upper East Side.

Madonna suffered a broken collarbone, a broken hand and three cracked ribs when she fell while out riding at her English estate in August 2005.

The Examiner: Madonna finally seems like Madonna again. She has lost the British accent, the talentless British husband, lives in New York City, and is actually smiling again. She looks like she has gained some badly needed weight as well. Madonna is about to start recording her new album. David Guetta (Black Eyed Peas) has bragged about working on some of the tracks. The only other confirmed producer is Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen). We are far more excited about Brendan O'Brien than David Guetta. It's a perfect time for Madonna to start working on a new album. Recent albums from fellow divas Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey have failed to live up to any hype.

Attention, Vinyl lovers! Madonna’s ‘Celebration’ is to be released as 4-LP Vinyl on December 22!

This deluxe vinyl package features 4 120g black vinyl discs pressed at Record Industry in a 2-pocket Stoughton gatefold jacket with expanded pockets (2 discs in each pocket) and includes all of the 36 songs originally available on the 2-CD edition of the album released back in September.

Time to give your favourite turntable the Christmas present it deserves! Just click here to pre-order from Amazon.

Celebrity acting coach Susan Batson will be auctioning off a slew of incredible pieces her pupils have given her over the years, among them an autographed pair of red platforms that Madonna wore during her 'Drowned World' tour in 2001.
According to WWD, Batson has worked with talents including Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Connelly, and Jamie Fox, and is holding the auction through December 12 at her Black Nexxus Inc. theater lab (300 West 43rd Street) to raise money for a scholarship fund for study at the theater.
In addition to the Material Girl's epic sandals (which are signed 'Love Madonna' on one shoe and 'If the shoe fits wear it' on the other), the auction items include an original script from the first episode of '30 Rock,' autographed by Tina Fey; a peacoat designed for Janet Jackson's 'Velvet Rope' tour; and even pieces donated by Liv Tyler and Alicia Keys.
Be warned: Bidding starts at $15,000, and we'd predict the prize red platforms go for much more than that.

Madonna graces the cover of the new "Spotlight" magazine, french fanzine dedicated to Madonna # 45, out on december 15.

From a chic Parisian cafe to a dimly lit New York studio, fashion’s dream team has produced the latest Louis Vuitton ads featuring Madonna. The star, along with designer Marc Jacobs and legendary photographer Steven Meisel, joined forces a second time to create Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign. From the collection’s rich, dark fall colors to the portrait-like feel of each picture, the new ads take a different direction than the previous season. “While the two campaigns look very different, there is also a unity about them,” explains Marc Jacobs in the press release. “So it now feels like we have completed both parts of the story.” Meant to evoke the golden age of Hollywood, the moody ads even have Madonna showing off the infamous bunny ears she first wore to the Met Gala back in May.

Here is a look if the full Louis Vuitton Promotional Campaing for the fall 2009 collection.
