Coming Home

It's happened.

Madonna is going back to Michigan for the first time in many many years.

Her Madgesty is set to headline this year's Traverse City Film Festival.

She will arrive on August 2nd to show her documentary about Malawai, I am Because We Are.

Michael Moore, the event founder, said Madonna "will present the film in person, watch it with the audience and conduct a question-and-answer session afterwards. It's a huge coup for the Film Festival, and for Traverse City."

Tickets to view Madonna's docu will go on sale next month, a whole month earlier than tickets will go on sale for the rest of the films.

Obvs people should buy them quickly, since the downtown theatre only seats 540.

Moore adds, "She spent the past couple of years filming what the people go through, and the efforts to help them. I saw the film about a month ago. It's a fantastic, powerful movie."

The festival takes plac from July 29th through August 3rd.

As a special offering, they will be showing A League of Their Own at the Open Space on the same night as Madonna's film shows.

Moore adds, "I've got a couple other surprises up my sleeve for the Film Festival," he said.

Holiday!

shes not the same madonna she used to be… and i meant that in a good way
at least she didnt stay ingnorant and put other things intead of her
doing that is rarely seen these day
but you know… that woman is brilliant
i personally saw "i am because we are" and let me tell you that it is meant to open millions of hearts
if you dont like her fine let it be… but dont fuck with someone who at least tries
PS. who cares if shes doing it for publicity (which i doubt) at least shes doing something to help …and not ndoing nothing like the pathetic hatters who just come here to degrade people without them being degraded 1st

I absolutely hate that Bitch. I was born and raised the great State of Michigan. She Dogged this state and looked down on it and its people. On behalf of every citizen of this state take your sorry ass fake/British speaking self out of here.

Madge won't go back home. Her past sins are too overwhelming. She is the Italian version of BELOVED a baby was sacrificed for the future of an adolescent child.
This was the inspiration of the angst driven portrayal of Poppa Don't Preach video.
There is dirt inside of Detroit and Momma don't want to face this old school music.

Born and Raised in Traverse City. When I grew up downtown TC I was practically the ONLY democrat in Town. Now the whole town is a hippie haven. I couldn't be more proud for the TC film festival than this. Living down state sucks compared to up north!!! Go all northern Michigan DEMOCTRATS

Re: PUT IT AWAY - VADGE !! – I don't even think she cares about her kids that much. That's a horny old woman. She ain't playin. She'd still fuck anybody or anything that moved. Stop parading around like a 20 year old, lady. Teach your kids some morals.
LISTEN UP says – reply to this

32

Madonna once remarked, in one of the many books written about her, "As a child, I always felt like I deserved the biggest piece of cake if there was a party." "My father and step mother always put me in my place." she went on to say {after becoming famous} "I am a very selfish person." I give her credit for admitting her fault, but I don't think her kids are even allowed to eat cake or watch TV. She's a weird mom. It's STILL "all about her."

would you go back to that rat infested city? fuck I wouldn't go!
If she does show up she has more balls than I do. It's like crime central there.

Madonna, I don't care if you want to diet until you're 88. Give your kids some cake, and turn on the TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These celebutards are all alike. They all have so much money, and they are bored to death! That's why they start experimenting/preaching religion and act like experts on every topic Madonna has had 11 abortions book 'Goddess' How could she be such a slob? And then her BFF, Gwenneth Paltrow calls us "STUPID AMERICANS" I beg your pardon? Look at your stupid American pal Madge, and ask her if she's ever heard of a condom.

mathew says – reply to this

44

If she is so concerned about poor children why does she live in many multimillion dollar homes, stay in the most expensive hotels and buy outfits which EACH could feed a starving child in Malawai for a lifetime. Hollywood stars are such hypocrites and she is the Queen of them all.
she's so stupid says – reply to this

45

Re: MADONNA HAD 11 ABORTIONS – Thank you!!
me says – reply to this

46

Madonna said, "Violence begets violence." Madonna, you are so fucking intelligent. The fact that you would kill 11 of your children and make a statement like that only proves that you are a victim of a reprobate mind. I would never want to be as mentally unstable as you.
Madge is a fake says – reply to this

Re: mathew – Thank you! Should she really be adopting David just days after a lip lock with a much younger black woman? She's sick. Madonna, stop beating the proverbial dead horse.

Morals aside, I don't think she'll ever retire. She should become a member of the Dancing Grannies. She would probably drive poor Guy nuts.

First of all, Bay City (her city of birth) is not remotely near Traverse City. Second of all, she has been to Traverse City quite frequently as her father has a vineyard there and has been in poor health for a few years. She is just really quiet about her visits so nobody knows she is there. But it isn't like it's a big homecoming for her. It's not her first time back in Michigan in many,many years. Not even close.

Re: crusty – You obviously have no idea what you are talking about….Traverse City is one of the smallest towns in Michigan. The nightly news is pretty boring because NOTHING HAPPENS THERE. I am so proud to say that I am from Northern Michigan. This is huge for us!! I can't believe its being talked about on Perez and CNN…..:) This is awesome for us!!
We don't want you in TC!!! says – reply to this

52

NO! NO! NO! We don't want to become the next Park City, Utah, or Jackson Hole, Wyoming!!! I don't give a crap if her Dad has a winery here…NO! NO! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has no respect for the great state of Michigan, and now she is going to continue to whore herself out with that fat fuck Michael Moore….

Re: Hilary – Nothing happens here??? Thanks a lot…actually a lot does happen, but just because its not trashy & crappy doesn't mean the things that DO happen here aren't important to those of us who live here. And its NOT one of the smallest towns in Michigan, you idiot. We have one of the largest employers in Northern Michigan here, and because of the quality of life & beautiful locale, it is a lovely place to live…

If Madonna's bitch ass actually cared about poverty, WHY NOT FUCKING ADOPT A CHILD FROM DETROIT (or any other struggling part of the USA). This city needs help. Everyone likes to leave the country to help others, which is nice, but why not fix the problem at home first. So fucking annoying. It is the most depressing thing to see a city like Detroit, which really truly has so much potential go to waste. It is heart breaking. There really is something about Madonna that is so irritating. Arrogant piece of fucking trash.

Re: Hilary –

TC is def. not one of the smallest towns in Michigan… by far. Sault Ste. Marie, Marquette, Escanaba, St. Ignace, Cadillac, Alpena… ALL SMALLER… not to mention the outlying towns that surround them. I can name probably 20 towns that have a population less than 500.

Relocated Michigan Girl says – reply to this

I love Traverse City and all of Michigan to be exact. I was born in Rochester where Madonna actually grew up and went to school. I am on the fence about Madoona because she is a british wanna be even though she grew up in Rochester, Michigan, which happens to be one of the nicest, richest places in the suburbs of Detroit. Quit you fucking whining bitch and be proud of where you came from like most people. I love Michigan and hate the fact I had to move to another state (wyoming to be exact) for a job due to the shitty economy in Michigan. I love Michigan and it is a great state, and I will believe so no matter what anyone else says. Just come to Michigan and experience all that that great state has to offer. I can't wait for my one week vacation from my new job out here in the middle of nowhere Wyoming so I can visit my friends and family. Don't bash Michigan bash Madonna the stupid bitch who isn't proud of where she is from!!!!

Haha…at least now TC has been on your site, never thought I'd see the day. Can't wait for her Madgesty, say what you want about her (I don't like the crotch shot cover either) but she has been an entertainment icon for years and is doing great work in Africa. I'll certainly be there to support her film.

I hope someone does a big shit at home, smuggles it in to the cinema, and throws it at her head while she's watching the movie. A big, stinky, semi-diarrhea pile of poo would look real good sliding down Madonna's hair and face. Yay!

I am just so disappointed in Michael Moore. Every bit of respect I had for him, and it was a LOT, just went out the window. As far as I'm concerned, he has absolutely no credibility anymore due to his association with her. She is such a hypocrite, she could care less about the people of Malawi, she just wants to appear to be a great philanthropist. She's made it very obvious that she consders herself to be above the rest of the human race, and that includes the people who are suffering in Malawi. It saddens me to know that Michael Moore would lower himself to her standards instead of calling her out for being the pretentious phony that she is. Mr. Moore, I hope that the screwing you got was worth the screwing you're getting. You can kiss your credibility goodbye.
Shaniqua Brown says – reply to this

87

Re: firefly – Are you for real? You chastise Madonna for being a hypocrite yet you support Micahel Moore who is one of the biggest living hypocrites of our modern times..along with Perez of course. Micahel Moore is a twisted man hell bent on an extreme left wing agenda and frankly if i saw him in the street on fire, I would not piss on him, even if I had a bad dose of cystitis. Michael Moore is a dipshit and so are you for your bafflingly stupid comments. Moron.

Her father has a home in Traverse City and she has been to visit there from time to time.

I also have visited friends there and it is easily the whitest place on earth. I actually asked my friend, "you've lived here for 5 years—how many black people have you seen since you moved here?" She said, "Maybe 5 but not all at one time."
