Singer has reportedly enlisted fashion guru Jean-Paul Gaultier to design the costumes for the tour, which kicks off May 29. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Rob Imbriani Madonna Photo: MTV News Madonna is several weeks out from launching her MDNA tour . That means she’s working hard on getting every aspect of the show just right, from the music to the design to the looks. Given that Madonna is famous for her spectacular stage shows, fans of the glitzy singer have high expectations for the jaunt, which will kick off on May 29 in Tel Aviv, and will wrap around the globe before planting Stateside on August 28 in Philadelphia. When MTV News caught up with singer at the launch of her Truth or Dare perfume in New York City , she revealed that fans should expect this latest excursion to be just as eye-catching as the ones that came before. “Amazing music, incredible dancing, the team of people that I worked with for the Super Bowl is working with me on this as well,” she explained about the show, which she is currently rehearsing for. And, in the end, she hopes it will be “a feast for the eyes and the ears.” Given how decadent her Roman- and Egyptian-themed Super Bowl performance was, full of acrobatics, sparkling costumes and enough diva-tude to make Cleopatra jealous, it seems that Madge is taking all the right steps to capture that eye-popping essence for her traveling stage show. With a set list floating around that includes tracks like fan favorites “Secret” and “Deeper and Deeper,” as well as new tracks like “Turn Up the Radio” and “Girl Gone Wild,” she’s even enlisted her longtime fashion guru, Jean-Paul Gaultier, to design the costumes for the tour, according to Pink Is The New Blog . He’s worked with her on her Confessions Tour, her Re-Invention Tour, the Drowned World Tour and her Blond Ambition Tour. He’s also the man who designed her famous cone bra. It seems that the Queen of Pop will rule Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum starting at the end of this month through mid-May, according to Newsday . The pop singer and her team are rumored to have rented out the space to rehearse, but she has no plans to stop there during the tour. Madge dropped her album, MDNA , last month. Are you planning on seeing Madge on tour? Let us know in the comments!

By Jocelyn Vena Madonna Photo: Valery Hache /Getty Images Madonna’s former manager, Caresse Henry, has died at age 44, CNN reports.

Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rosenberg, released a statement to CBS News explaining that Henry “died suddenly” in Irvine, California, where she lived, on Wednesday. Funeral services will be held April 9 at 11 a.m. at St. Paul’s Church in Westwood, California. “Despite rumors to the contrary, the cause of death has not been determined and is currently under investigation,” the CBS statement continued. In a statement to CNN, Rosenberg said, “The family has requested that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.” Henry also reportedly worked as a personal assistant to Madonna, and she’s credited as an artistic manager and executive producer on Madonna: Drowned World Tour 2001. According to various reports, Henry and Madonna parted ways in 2004 after rumors spread that Madonna fired Henry due to the pop star’s faith in Kabbalah; at the time, it was also reported that Henry quit. Musician Jimmy Demers, who was managed by Henry, wrote a piece for the Huffington Post remembering his pal. “I’m not sure what details led her to this dark moment of hopelessness, and I’m not sure there was anything anyone could have done to save her,” he wrote in response to reports that Henry had committed suicide, which has not been confirmed.
