Madonna revealed the title of her 12th studio album: “M.D.N.A.”

In an interview with Graham Norton, Madonna talked about the album release, saying, “it’s soon — it depends how quickly people hack in to my server and leak it. Can people wait? It’s terrible.”

“M.N.D.A.” will be Madonna’s first studio release on Interscope, since leaving Warner Bros. Records and entering into an all-encompassing deal with Live Nation. Her final Warner Bros. studio set, “Hard Candy,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 740,000 copies stateside, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

According to Glamour, another reported topic of conversation between Madonna and Graham Norton in the interview was Lady Gaga, who is surely used to the Madonna comparisons by now. “When I first saw her [Gaga] I was really impressed by her and she was cool. She did remind me of me back in the day,” Madonna said. “I do think she is very talented.”

Rihanna Breaks Her Silence On ABC 500x3421

In her first television interview since being assaulted by former flame Chris Brown, pop princess Rihanna says it was “”wrong” of her to take the crooner back.

“That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with,” the singer told Diane Sawyer on ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday. “So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.”

During the interview, she confirmed that Brown, 20, held her in a headlock twice and bit her on the ear and fingers the night before the 2009 Grammys last February. The attack occurred in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood as Brown drove a rented sports car.

“I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong,” Rihanna said. “It’s completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself…I’ll say that to any young girl who is going through domestic violence: ‘Don’t react off of love.’”

Rihanna, 21, also hinted that it may have taken “eight or nine attempts” before she could finally leave the relationship.

“It’s pretty easy to go back….When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part,” she says. “I couldn’t be responsible for that. Even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say they won’t kill these girls? I didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”

ABC will air more chunks of the interview on Friday’s GMA. The interview will air in its entirety Friday evening on 20/20.

Rihanna’s looking great on the cover of Glamour Magazine. She looks happy and confident despite the obstacles she’s recently faced thanks to that douche bag, Chris Brown.

In an interview, which you can find inside the issue of Glamour, Rihanna says, “I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears…That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard.”

Rihanna will be honored — alongside literary legend Maya Angelou and comedian Amy Poehler — at the annual Glamour Women of the Year event in New York City on Monday, Nov. 9.
