Madonna to rerelease ‘Bedtime Stories' 30 years after multiplatinum album hit the charts
NEW YORK — Madonna is getting ready to rerelease her sixth studio album, 'Bedtime Stories,' three decades after the multiplatinum project first hit the charts.
'Bedtime Stories Re-release and Vinyl coming soon,' the Queen of Pop wrote on Instagram Monday, as the caption of a video of herself whirling around what appears to be her Upper East Side townhouse to the sound of the album's third single, the Björk-co-written 'Bedtime Story.'
In classic Madonna style, the 66-year-old pop superstar hinted at suggestive poses while wearing a Burberry trench coat over a pink slip dress, fishnet gloves, thigh-high sheer tights and stilettos.
Originally released in October 1994, 'Bedtime Stories' followed the sexually charged 'Erotica,' showing a more romantic side of the often-controversial star.
The album's second single, the sugary pop ballad 'Take a Bow,' spent seven weeks atop the U.S. Hot 100 chart, while 'Bedtime Stories' became a top-five album in countries around the world, including the U.K., France and Canada.
In the U.S., the heavily R&B-influenced album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Monday's announcement comes just days after the Grammy-winning superstar stunned fans with news that she was working with frequent collaborator Stuart Price on a sequel to her No. 1 album 'Confessions on a Dance Floor,' released in 2005.
'My Valentine's Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I'm putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can't wait to share it with you!!' she wrote on Instagram.
The pop diva recently celebrated her 40-year career with a massive world tour, which kicked off in London in October 2023 just months after she was rushed to a hospital in New York City, where she spent several days in intensive care to be treated for a reported 'serious bacterial infection.'
The critically acclaimed Celebration Tour wrapped up seven months later with a record-breaking finale in front of 1.6 million fans on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach.

Alligator on Florida golf course takes victory lap with stolen club
Footage has surfaced showing an alligator traversing a Florida pond while displaying a golf club like a trophy. Presumably, the golfer is OK. The footage, shared by WINK News meteorologist Matt Devitt, was captured at an Orlando golf course recently by a WINK viewer named Doug. 'Only in Florida,' Devitt joked via Instagram. 'I'd let him play through.' It's unclear if the alligator stole the club from a bag, if the club had been left near the pond, or if the golfer had tossed the club into the water during a tantrum. It's also unclear if the voice in the audio belongs to the golfer who lost the club. While alligator sightings on Florida golf courses are fairly routine, this was extraordinary. It looks as though the gator is using the club as a snorkel or, as one follower remarked, a periscope. The top Instagram comment, predictably, reads: 'What happened to the golfer?'

Jussie Smollett reveals he's engaged to actor Jabari Redd: 'He said YES'
Jussie Smollett celebrated his birthday as an engaged man. The former "Empire" star, 43, revealed in an Instagram post that he is engaged to actor Jabari Redd. Smollett shared a gallery of photos showing himself down on one knee and presenting a ring to Redd, who looked elated. "I'll be spending my birthday with my Fiancé … He said YES. 💍," Smollett, who turned 43 on Saturday, June 21, wrote in the caption. Redd has appeared on shows like Showtime's "The Chi" and starred in "The Lost Holliday," a 2024 film directed by and starring Smollett. Smollett's sister Jurnee Smollett celebrated his engagement in the comments of the Instagram post, writing that she was "screaming with tears of joy!" She added that "my whole heart loves both of you" and welcomed Redd "to the family." Smollett's sister Jazz Smollett also commented, "Yaaaass!!! Welcome to the family Jabari!!! Love y'all!! Sooooo happy for you both." Jussie Smollett conviction in hate crime hoax overturned by Illinois Supreme Court The engagement news comes more than six years after Smollett was accused of staging a fake hate crime against himself in 2019. He claimed at the time that he was attacked by men who yelled homophobic slurs at him in Chicago. Jussie Smollett says he has 'to move forward' after alleged hate crime hoax Smollett was charged with lying to police about the attack, and he was convicted of felony disorderly conduct in 2021. But in November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the actor's conviction, determining that he should not have been charged a second time for the same incident after charges against him were initially dropped in 2019. Smollett has repeatedly denied staging the hate crime and has maintained that the attack was real. Smollett reached a civil settlement with the city of Chicago earlier this year, according to NBC News. In a statement released on Instagram, the actor said he would pay $50,000 to a local nonprofit. "What I have to do now is move forward," he said. "I will continue creating my art, fighting passionately for causes I hold dear and defending my integrity and family name with the truth." Smollett previously told People magazine in an interview in September 2024, "I've moved on and I know that the world, one day, and it might be long after I'm gone, who knows, but one day the world is going to fix this. I just can't wait for that to happen because I have a life to live. But the world is going to fix it all."

Indiana Fever guard sees social media following erupt after Caitlin Clark defense
Since committing a hard foul in defense of star guard Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has seen her social media following skyrocket. Since the incident occurred, Cunningham's jersey sold out in the Fever team store and she has gained nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram and jumped from 300,000 to over 1.2 million followers on TikTok. As a frequent social media user, she posted a TikTok video playing into what happened during Tuesday's game with her lip-syncing lyrics from the Selena Gomez song, "Hands to Myself." "It's a joke... the sound was too fitting! happy game day," Cunningham captioned the post. That video now has more than 800,000 likes and 25,000 shares. Cunningham was ejected on June 17 after committing a late-game Flagrant 2 foul on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon which immediately drew Sheldon and fellow Sun guard Lindsay Allen into a fracas along the baseline. "It's cool. It's funny what kind of people are attracted to," Cunningham said Saturday of gaining so many followers. "I'm just trying to keep the main thing the main thing, and that's basketball, trying to win games, sticking up for my teammates. And that's all part of it. I think all that stuff is fun and whatnot, but, at the end of the day, we need to win some basketball games." Cunningham and the Fever (6-6) return to action on Sunday against the Las Vegas Aces (5-7) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
