Madonna doesn't miss Michigan at all

Madonna, 56, recently talked with Us Weekly for an extended interview. The magazine featured "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" on the Material Girl online Monday.

As for her Michigan upbringing, she was quoted as saying: "I miss absolutely nothing about growing up in Michigan. Nothing at all."

This comes after she dismissed her hometown of Rochester Hills, describing residents as "basic, provincial thinking people" on Thursday's "The Howard Stern Show." The Rochester Hills mayor wrote an open letter to her in response.

One other Madonna quotable from the US Weekly article: "The person I most want to meet is President Obama. When the heck am I going to meet him? He just needs to invite me to the White House already. He probably thinks I'm too shocking to be there. ... If I was a little bit more demure ... or if I was just married to Jay Z. Hey, if Jay would only take me as his second wife, then I'd score an invitation."

Vin Diesel honors 'Furious' friend

Vin Diesel has honored the memory of "Fast and Furious" costar Paul Walker by naming his newest baby, a girl, after his late friend — sort of. Diesel and girlfriend Paloma Jimenez will call their daughter Pauline.

"There's no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord," the actor said during his "Furious 7" promotion work. "I just thought — I knew he was there. And it felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world."

Walker died at age 40 in a high-speed car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif., on Nov. 30, 2013. He'd already finished filming his dramatic scenes for "Furious 7" and most of his action scenes, and his brothers stepped in to help the production fill in the blanks.

Another memoir for 'Mary Poppins' star

The next book, currently untitled, begins in the 1960s and takes readers through her next three decades, including her many hit films and her marriage to director Blake Edwards.
