When it came time to choose cover art for her upcoming album Hard Candy (due April 29), Madonna went for a literal interpretation. The newly revealed photo shows the Hall-of-Famer looking tough in over-the-knee boots and a wrestling belt, with a background of pink peppermint swirls.
Like sugar, Madonna is addictive, so we’ve got more three more pics to satisfy your sweet tooth after the jump, including the Justin Timberlake-adorned cover art for the album’s first single, “4 Minutes to Save the World.”
In related news, Warner Bros. confirmed that “4 Minutes” will be used in the upcoming film remake of “Get Smart.” What is it with Madonna and spy spoofs?

Oh hey, Jack Black is also hosting the event. Yes, again. He's so awesome why wouldn't he do it again. You guys can always stop on by the website to download a FREE widget, or even play around with the video mixer. It's so darn fun. I promise.
So don't forget to tune in on MARCH 29th @ 8PM to see the results.
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE GETTING SLIMED?
There are a lot of teaser pictures that comes out before the actual CD cover comes out.
Its a good shot by Steven Klein but
Madonna has better artistic sensibilities
than to superimpose her image to a lollipop.
If you look at all her album covers there is always something unique about them, especially the
Like A Prayer album.
This picture is just staight out too plain for a Madonna album cover

Oh, and for the person who said it looks "Gwen Stefani-like"...UGH
For the 1,000,000th time...MADONNA was here first, and Gwen has borrowed from her, not the other way around.
She is sexy. Why try so hard?
But for her daughter lola.
Madonna is one of the best celebrity mothers in the industry. How dare anyone question her parenting skills. I bet we neva hear from lola. I bet she is successful, and will never enter rehab.
Gosh, people with stupid opinions like that are what drive Britney crazy.
BACK OFF!
Second time that Madonna music will be used in a film starring Anne Hathaway. "Vogue" and "Jump" both featured on the soundtrack to "The Devil Wears Prada." (And they were both great for the movie, I might add...)
I can see visual references in the cover to both Gwen and Pink, in my opinion. While I love Madonna, I have no hate for Gwen at all -- in fact, just the opposite. Nothing wrong with the creative borrowing back and forth between her and M. Obviously, M has been a trailblazer for Gwen, but Madonna has borrowed a few little touches from Gwen (and has admitted that they even talked about it, with respect to the "tick tock" on "Hung Up"). "4 Minutes" nods in Gwen's direction again, and M has also collaborated with Pharrell Williams for HARD CANDY, with whom Gwen has previously worked. I don't think it's a problem at all -- just recirculation and rejuvenation of similar elements, that's all.

what i would give to look that good at 49.
seems everyone thinks she is 50
lov ya madonna
If I look anything like that at 50 ill be f*****g pleased , the comment on 'madonna is disgusting' I guess is ok if thats your'e opinion, however if disgusting means having an amazing career that spans decades, an amazing body, a solid family and truck loads of money , countless houses....then that must make me pretty disgusting too, as id rather have all that than having the time to right this stupid message.................Go figure ..........Doh!!
But you know the S&M gear, and everything Madonna does in general is geared towards men - gay men. They are the ones willing to throw out the bucks for her CD's, concert tickets, products. It's because they want to BE her.
And really, Justin Timberlake looks so young there, she could be acting as his mom/homey dominatrix. You know, the lady down the street who is desperate enough to do you. No wonder her old man is burning-up back in England! As a sensitive female, with tight, wired-up face and bleached hair, Madonna shows lot of insecurity. So much so that she continues to resort to the same old tricks. There just comes a time when one should stop preying on the the talents of those younger. At least? in real life most normal females and pedophiles are reprimanded for that kind of thing. Justin looks like her little baby-boo-boo! "Want some can-dee?? Drop your dipie..."
And if you have any sense of working creatively in the arts, you would understand that as an artist you are constantly inspired by others. It’s not stealing or copying, its inspiration. Those shallow ignorant comments are exactly the things Madonna has fought to change through out her career and I might ad not by name calling and cheap shots for which she has had to endure.
Think before you speak, and as Madonna herself has said everyone is entitled to their opinions and to EXPRESS YOURSELF! Share the light, together we are brighter, just because yours is dim don't try to darken anyone else's.
God I admire love and respect that woman and have been lucky enough to actually meet her in person. Swear to Madonna!!!!
"a lil more" adventurous...playful?!?!
I mean, cummon, she's Madonna! she can push the envelope...it's what she's built her career on!
These pics are reminiscent of "Human Nature" out-takes, except with the addition of JT, and EVEN he looks "reserved"-- remember, this is the same guy who "exposed a nipple" in front of millions of people at the Super Bowl!
Hopefully, WB/Madonna have something "racier" UP THEIR SLEEVES to "blow our minds" before these
"4 Minutes" are UP!
madonna has another hit album on herhandsform what i've heard so farso madonna just keep on rocking and don't let anyone take or bring you down.and know onecan ever take your place you are one of a kind and thats what won over millions of fans gay or stright from allover the world and thats not an easything to do. and i can't wait to get myhands on the album because it is so hot my fingers have 2nd degree burns on them ouch
