Madonna has released a sexy, homoerotic video for her latest single, while also defying a new anti-gay law in Russia.
The provocative black and white video clip for Girl Gone Wild is steaming up the internet with its combination of erotic imagery and fashion magazine sensibility.
The song comes from Madonna’s anticipated new album, MDNA, which has already garnered positive previews in the U.S. and U.K.
Directed by fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the highly stylised Girl Gone Wild video features a bevy of half naked male models and dancers and references the star’s ongoing fascination with both religion and sex.
Fans have hailed the clip as a return to form for the “queen of pop”, likening it to a combination of Vogue and Erotica.
Meanwhile, Madonna has lashed out at the recently-passed “promotion of homosexuality” law in Russia’s second city, St. Petersburg.
The law bars any mention or depiction of homosexuality in public. The singer is scheduled to perform in St. Petersburg as part of her upcoming tour in August.
On Wednesday, Madonna issued a defiant statement on the issue amid concerns that she might be forced to tone down her show:
“I’m a freedom fighter.
My show
My songs
My work
… My art
Is all about freedom of expression
Freedom to choose to speak to act
Always with humanity and compassion
I will come to St. Petersburg to speak up for the gay community, to support the gay community and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels oppressed.
I don’t run away from adversity.
I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity.”

Nope, she’s not showing Lady Gaga who’s boss. Dlisted said it perfectly:
“If you want to see Madge doing a hump version of The Grudge stair crawl, a gay-on-granny orgy, Kazaky doing what they do best and Vogue sticking its tip in Erotica, press play on her video for Girl Gone Wild. I don’t know if Madge is copying CaCa copying Madge or if Madge is just copying Madge. Is this some meta shit or some Madgeception shit? Somebody please advise.”
Madge has always been the best in the business
Madge is a superstar, yes, and I applaude her for saying it out loud for the LGBT community, however I think she’s way past her age to be competing with the likes of Lady Gaga. Then again, if you’ve got it flaunt it…
At least she is way more beautiful ! and that is something you can’t take away from her and probably has a lot more energy too! You Go Madge
Loved the video and you cannot beat the Queen at her game. I love both Madonna and Gaga. Just a pity the homoerotic was not a bit butched up. Personally, guys in high heels dont do it for me. (Note I said personally – what does it for other guys – is cool )
