The following has been taken from the Liz Smith's column in the NY Daily News:

OK, so we're all really happy that Madonna has found inner peace through marriage, motherhood and the Kabbalah. But as we don't live with M, and experience her glow, she is judged by her work. And her last video wasn't what we love. I just don't want to see Madonna toss grenades.

But hold on, the Big M is coming through in her next vid, "Hollywood." This is directed by Jean Baptiste Mondino, who has done several brilliant Madonna mini-movies, including my favorite, her cowgirl homage, "Don't Tell Me." Madonna, wearing close to $20 million in vintage jewelry - including pieces once belonging to Mae West - and courtier threads, vamps like movie queens from the '20s through the '70s (designer hot pants for the '70s bit.) First-peekers say it's "a cross between 'Vogue' and 'Express Yourself.'" Luigi Murenu attends to Madam's hair, Pat McGrath her make-up. This spells glamour, big-time.

"Hollywood" debuts June 23 on VH1 accompanied by a "Behind the Scenes" special. Oh, ever perverse, Madonna insisted that the black and blue marks she sustained in a bicycle mishap recently, not be covered with make-up or zapped away via computer technology. Hmmmm . . . bruises and "Hollywood." (Bruised by Hollywood?) Shall we analyze this Dr. Freud?
