"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless." --Madonna

The Queen of Pop laments the loss of her King.

As a remixer, Erasure's Andy Bell says he'd love to have a go at Madonna. "Who wouldn't?" he asks Spinner. But while the Material Girl hasn't handed over any masters yet, Bell isn't waiting around to take his stab at one of the early catalog songs he dreams of redoing. "On my new record I'm working on at the moment, I've got a track called 'Cosmic Climb,' which is one of her old demos," Bell says. "So I would like to pick one of those things, cause she did some really good electro stuff right from the beginning, very punkish."

Bell, who says the solo album he's working on should be done by the end of next month, isn't afraid of tackling Madge's music, but the pop queen herself does intimidate him. "I met Madonna one time and I couldn't even speak," he recalls. "I had to stop myself from fainting. I could feel myself literally falling on the ground. I had to say, 'Andy, stop your nonsense.'"

British musician Patrick Wolf says that he doesn't have a problem with Madonna, despite reportedly being thrown out of her concert and battered by bouncers at her London show last September, after Wolf and his boyfriend were seen kissing.

"It was not anything to do with Madonna," Wolf, 25, tells Spinner. "I absolutely have no problem with Madonna. She's a total pop genius. It's not her fault that me and my man got thrown out of Wembley Stadium."

As previously reported, Wolf was handcuffed and removed from the venue, and claims it was because of his sexuality. "A bouncer at the door sees a boy in hot pants and a sequined shirt -- i.e. me -- dancing in the VIP area, singing really loudly [and] having a couple of ciders," he recalls. "I wasn't drunk, I was just dancing having fun. They just freaked out and couldn't cope with it.

"[We're] like two painters. " --Justin Timberlake

In Katie Couric's upcoming Grammy special, Timberlake touted his collaboration with Madonna for '4 Minutes' as art. We'd tend to disagree.
