The 1994 legend no missed penalty could erase

The 1994 legend no missed penalty could erase

5 min readJun 2, 2026 09:54 PM IST The popstar knew before the pundits did. Madonna, sporting her own scrunched power-high ponytail and a No 15 Italy jersey, had already made her call on Roberto Baggio. On her Blonde Ambition Tour in Rome, just two days after the 1990 World Cup, she had spoken proper football: “That goal against Czechoslovakia was marvellous.” Football snobs scoffed when she added, “I didn’t know his name then, but that goal and his big green eyes conquered me.” By 1994, she had anointed him the “Cutest.” The rest of the world was catching up. The footballing flock called him the Divine Ponytail – Il Divin Codino – after he embraced Nichiren Buddhism in 1985 following a career-threatening knee injury in Campania so severe he was told he might not walk normally again. The faith he found in recovery was not incidental – it became the stillness you could see in him under pressure, the composure that looked almost unreasonable given the moments he was asked to produce it in. …

Lost and found: Madonna has the Spanish soccer jersey Celta Vigo was searching for

VIGO, Spain — Madonna has answered the call of a Spanish soccer club that was seeking a long-lost jersey worn by the pop icon more than three decades ago.

I am wearing and representing your team in spirit!” Madonna said. Celta had published an open letter to Madonna this week asking if she still had the baby-blue-and-white Celta jersey she wore during a 1990 concert at its Balaidos stadium. Club president Marián Mouriño Terrazo wrote: “Over time we came to better understand what you stood for back then: questioning established norms and standing up to those who try to tell you what you can or cannot do. At our club we recognize ourselves in this line of thought. That is why we …

Taylor Swift takes legal action against Kanye West over sexually explicit rant, slaps him with cease and desist: report | Hollywood News

Taylor Swift has reportedly slapped Kanye West with a cease and desist after the Yeezy rapper went on a full-blown, expletive-laced social media rant on April 10, making distasteful remarks about the pop star and her personal life. He also blamed her as one of the reasons behind his career fallout—specifically, his inability to land a Super Bowl halftime performance, among other things. In over 100 tweets on Thursday, the rapper name-dropped several A-listers, including Beyoncé and Madonna, before wiping his posts clean. Fans called the move a low blow. Swifties were clearly enraged and hoped this time she’d fire back with legal action instead of a diss track—and it looks like she took notes. Taylor Swift slaps Kanye West with a cease and desist A source close to Swift told the Daily Mail that “Kanye went too far this time.” The rapper had earlier made graphic online remarks involving the Bad Blood singer and her fellow artists, including Harry Styles and Justin Bieber. “His claims are not just false—they’re defamatory,” the source added. “This …
