Madonna's full "Family Date" video for D&G is charming and she looks rad-gorgeous...

A new, behind-the-scenes video of Madonna scrubbing it up for D&G. Who says this woman is too serious all the time?...

Via here.

This lovely floor-washing outtake from Madonna's D&G campaign reminds me of her mirror-masturbation pose from Sex somehow. I bet, perfectionist as she is, she doesn't miss a spot doing either.

From OK! (July 19, 2010), some nice behind-the-scenes shots of Madonna at her D&G shoot. 

Absolutely love the new Dolce & Gabbana campaign, in which Madonna sticks out like a sore thumb (which is the point) as the uberglam matriarch of a rather cinematic Italian brood. She looks gorgeous and the shots are either playful or—as above—subtly hilarious.

The only off shot for me is:

...because her face looks PhotoShopped into oblivion, on the left and she almost looks cross-eyed. Nice pose, though.

Fun to compare to Bruce Weber's 1986 Life shots of Madonna with her real family:

  

The rest are over at Absolument Madonna. 

Max Schneider—currently seen in the role of Madonna's son in her D&G campaign—opens up about being cast in that role...as well as about an array of teen mag-worthy things like his thoughts on Facebook vs. Twitter. Of his comfort level in being around Madonna, he says:

"...I attended the casting on a Friday, was selected and got on the set the following Wednesday. I was told that I [had] been chosen by Madonna, herself, which was surreal to me...I felt very relaxed and comfortable being around Madonna. She made me feel completely at ease. Domenico helped me a lot by supporting me and telling me that I was a 'very nice actor'."

"I have no milk left, stop looking at me that way!" 

Via MadonnaTribe: Madonna looks fantastic and not overly retouched (candids here) in the new D&G "family" campaign. See? Those pix of her with that young boy were not a May-December of the following year romance. 

Madonna's sunglassed visage surveys Times Square, which was Ground Zero for her onslaught on the culture 30 years ago.

Madonna looked fantastic shooting more D&G stuff in Harlem yesterday!

Dlisted, of course, thinks she looks 110 and thinks her standing next to a young man makes her a child toucher, but I think the shots read as Italian mama to go along with her previous spread, no?
