Multi-Tasking Madonna Reveals Album Art, Hair Commercial

Hall Of Famer Madonna's new single "4 Minutes" officially "debuted" (or something?) in a Unilever Sunsilk hair commercial today. Part of the company's statement via DailySwarm:

Madonna continues to be such an inspiration for young girls by continuously reinventing her looks, and we expect the new commercial will also encourage girls to evolve by changing their looks and making their hair and lives happen in a variety of exciting ways.

She appeared in an earlier version with Marilyn Monroe and Shakira, but this time it's the Material Mom by herself.

Hopefully "young girls" aren't inspired by Hard Candy's album art...

What's with all this spread eagle stuff, people?

Hard Candy is out 4/29 on Warner Bros.

Jesus Madonna, have a little dignity with your shame. You don't have to be a literal ... wait, never mind.

Somethings never change! She looks like a throw back from her 80's look! No class; not setting a very good example for your daughter!!! Your not a blonde either Madonna; your hair/color is awful!

She looks fine. Yes it's very in your face but jeez these comments sound like they all came from the same ladies church group.

YO YO YO MONEY

I love how Madonna preaches about anti-sex / anti-fun with her kids, then she does something like this.
*This Just In*
-Madonnas children kill themselves by having to much sex.

I don't get what this commercial has to do with the new single..."Ray of Light" is playing.

That album cover is just gross. You're 49 woman, stop trying to recapture past early 90s glories.

...so much for aging gracefully.

@ dsven

You're right. We had version one of the commercial in there -- version two just popped up. Fixed.

The thing i love the most about Madonna is that she has never been embraced by everybody and always did get comments from people knowing better from how she should dress up or raise her kids and she always did what she wanted to do and was successful at it. Yep she's an inspiration on being free of other people's judgements and in our days and age where everybody put down others in order to feel better in their own shoes it's the greatest gift one could give others.
Love the cover, Princess Superstar, Peaches, Gwen Stefani and Kylie have been inspired by early 90's Madonna and here she comes back full circle.

The only fault I can find with this cover is the lack of effort put into the typography.

the cover looks professional, and then the words "hard candy" looks like something some amateur did on photoshop.

p.s. i can see the whole "imma slut" image, that's nothing new, but calling yourself M-Dolla? where is her shame!

Ya bad Madonna how dare you set fashion and music trends going on 30 years ! and making the twenty year old pop princesses wannabees look like they are standing still . what a stupid person don't you ever listen you can't do that .. I do have one complaint the dirty jeans fad you started years ago and there selling them still .. just did not think that one was so cute ... Other than that rock on Mama!! I need more hot tracks to get me through the cardio ...XOXOX Art
