Madonna had many famous boyfriends over the years, but only one of her boyfriends tried to run her over in a music video. The video in question is just awful. At least when Madonna opened up about the clip, she explained her taste in men.
1 of Madonna’s boyfriends appeared in her most random music video ever
Madonna had a relationship with John “Jellybean” Benitez, who produced the two most famous tunes from her self-titled debut album: “Holiday” and “Lucky Star.” During a 1985 interview with Spin, Madonna revealed the man she dated before Benitez had some issues with her. “The longest monogamous relationship I’ve had was two-and-three-quarter years, right before Jellybean, with someone who never wants to see me again,” she said.
“He’s the guy trying to run me over in my ‘Burning Up’ video,” she said. “It wasn’t just because I was seeing someone else. Our relationship was deteriorating anyway.

It’s hard to think of a dance musician more iconic than Madonna. It’s hard to think of a dance song better than Madonna’s “Holiday.” Notably, “Holiday” was written by members of a band who gave the song away. Here’s what they thought of the Queen of Pop’s take on their tune.
‘Holiday’ garnered praise from Kool & the Gang before Madonna made it a hit
Madonna co-wrote many of her hits, but “Holiday” was not one of them. The groovy post-disco song was penned by Curtis Hudson and Lisa Stevens, both members of the band Pure Energy. The song was produced by dance music legend John “Jellybean” Benitez.
During a 2012 interview with Blogcritics, Stevens explained how “Holiday” fell into the hands of the future Queen of Pop. “I remember Jellybean asking us for a song,” he said. “We had presented songs to him before. He said,...

Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan were missing from the latest Good Morning America episode ahead of Super Bowl Sunday.
As GMA opened for Friday’s installment, viewers saw George Stephanopoulos at the desk, but his other co-anchors were absent.
Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis filled in for Roberts, while Gio Benitez replaced Strahan during the episode. Jarvis and Benitez have appeared on GMA on other occasions to replace various anchors.
When the crew appeared on screen after an introduction to GMA’s upcoming stories, Stephanopoulos didn’t mention what Roberts or Strahan were up to.
It’s not the first Friday GMA that Roberts has missed, as she’s been out on previous episodes to end the week. She may be continuing the promotion of her recently released project, too.
Meanwhile, Strahan was away from GMA for the entire week due to events involving his family.

In a hearing on Tuesday, the Mexican Congress held the country’s first hearing on the topic of unidentified aerial phenomena (Uap), commonly known as UFOs.
Journalist and self-proclaimed “ufologist” Jaime Maussan presented two “alien corpses” to the representatives.
The two alleged alien bodies were scrawny, cartoon-like and bore a noticeable resemblance to E.T., one of pop culture’s most famous aliens. The corpses were pasty white, with big heads and three fingers per hand.
The bodies were recovered in Peru near the ancient Nazca Lines in 2017, where they were dug up from the ground wrapped in algae; the National Autonomous University of Mexico speculated that the bodies were likely 1,000 years old.
Maussan insisted that the bodies are not mummies. He said that they are complete, un-manipulated and share no relation to human beings. Maussan declared under oath: “This is the first time [extraterrestrial life] is presented in such a form...

Madrid (Spain), Aug 10 (Ians) The upcoming La Liga season commences this weekend amidst a Spanish heatwave, prompting some matches to be rescheduled to 10 p.m. local time to mitigate the heat’s effects.
There are two games on Friday — Almeria hosting Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla squaring off against Valencia –but one of them was rescheduled due to extreme heat.
Victor Moreno makes his coaching debut for Almeria, which recently sold striker El Bilal Toure. On the other hand, Francisco Rodriguez faces the challenge of filling Andoni Iraola’s shoes in the Rayo dugout, helming a squad seemingly less potent than last season’s, reports Xinhua.
Reigning Europa League champions, Sevilla, face off against a Valencia side that has witnessed pivotal departures without notable replacements. This transition has prompted coach Ruben Baraja to lean on Valencia’s youth, evident from the squad’s average age of 22.8 years.

Gio Benitez is hoping to marry the two jobs he holds for ABC News.
As the Disney unit’s transportation correspondent, he has been close to the recent movement into private space travel. As a newly named co-anchor for the weekend edition of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” he will handle stories that draw out viewers’ emotions and attention. He will continue to handle both roles.
“I’m a space geek,” says Benitez, “and I get to still keep on doing it.”
“I’ll tell you what he’s pitching,” says Simone Swink, the executive producer of ABC’s A.M. flagship. “He wants to be the first civilian and journalist on whatever the first mission to Mars is. That will be our ongoing conversation for the next five years.”

Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan have been named the new co-anchors of the ABC News program “GMA3: What You Need to Know.”
The pair’s promotion follows the exit of former GMA3 co-anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, who made headlines after news of a romantic relationship surfaced publicly and an investigation was launched by the network. Robach and Holmes were taken off the air in December.
“After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News,” a spokesperson told TheWrap in January. “We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”

Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan will be the new co-anchors of GMA3: What You Need to Know, which has been without permanent hosts since the exit of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes.
The network also announced that Gio Benitez would join the Saturday and Sunday editions of Good Morning America as co-anchor, along with Whit Johnson and Janai Norman.
Pilgrim had been co-anchor of GMA on weekends, and Morgan filled in on GMA3 as the network sidelined Robach and Holmes amid revelations that they were in a romantic relationship. As the couple’s affair drew tabloid headlines, ABC News president Kim Godwin mulled what to do about the situation. GMA3 depends on the chemistry between the hosts, and when they were on the air, Robach and Holmes did not address their relationship. The network announced their departure in January.
Jennifer Ashton will continue on GMA3 as chief health and medical correspondent.
