Note to self: Somebody upstairs is listening to my prayers!
Like many PopWatchers, I’ve been in a state of protracted mourning over the demise of Lisa Kudrow’s brilliant HBO sitcom The Comeback. So you can imagine the elation I felt this morning when I spotted Aunt Sassy’s feathered auburn locks (near left) and pink workout togs during a routine perusal of AOL Music. Admittedly, I didn’t know Valerie Cherish could get down like that, but I’m glad to see television’s most vividly realized character receiving such an enthusiastic embrace from all those hip, krumping kids.
What do you think of Aunt Sassy’s ”Hung Up” clip?

Loved seeing Red gettin’ down….only thing missing: Jane and her spider eyes.
I bet HBO is kicking themselves now for canceling our Val; she must have kept up with her yoga, because that Val grrrl can bend, baby!
I too am still weeping from the cancellation of The Comeback. I just can’t figure out HBO. They have a show that is widely acclaimed by viewers and critics but without hugh numbers they won’t give it another year? Look at Grey’s Anatomy doing much better in their 2nd season because people caught the buzz and tuned in!
This is Val’s revenge for all those years of rejection after I’m It … hang up on this, beotches (yes, HBO, that includes YOU and your suits who canceled this genius show!)
Yeah, f885585k them, I’m done! Tired of taking care of everbody…I going to take a bath!”
i would give my life to bring the comeback back.
I definitely needed to see that! Long live Valerie Cherish!
Yea…you’re real funny
good song, boring video
I so wanted to LOVE this song, but I just don’t. It’s boring and repetitive. Yeah, I know, it’s Madonna and I shouldn’t be expecting much, but I guess my expectations for her were/are greater than “Hung Up”. Having Aunt Sassy in the video should make me feel better, but it doesn’t – it just makes me miss “The Comeback” even more.
Hmmm…this story looks eerily familiar. You’re a ‘Kenneth in the 212′ fan, too? http://kennethinthe212.blogspot.com/2005/10/madonna-makes-comeback.html
Though I love pretty much whatever Madonna has done, I am so in love with Hung up and the new video.Current pop queens take note, it’s all perfect,edgy,creative,fun.Once again she proves she knows what she’s doing. Now can we stop criticizing our cornerstone artist’s every move. Hello, Mariah?
OH MY GOD! Michael, the two most powerful influences to a gay man since Liza and Barbara are on your site. I love this comparison! Madge’s new song is HOT HOT HOT! I haven’t seen the video yet but I’m sure it’s HOT HOT HOT too!
I miss Val! I read that Extra’s on HBO is only getting 600,000 viewers a week AND they already renewed it for a 2nd season. The Comeback’s lowest ratings were 900,000! I feel ripped off! Especially since Desperate Housewives has been such a disappointment this season.
Whaaaaaa!

Yawn…
That’s the best you can come up with?
Why does Madonna have a skinny man’s ass? She looks bad.
And why is she trying to imitate Dance videos with this lame knockoff?
Dance videos are usually the most creative videos. Armand Van Helden’s Into Your Eyes, Narcotic Thrust’s I Like, Basement Jaxx’s Romeo, Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction, The Boogie Pimps Somebody To Love, Michael Gray’s The Weekend, and my fave Eric Prydz Call On Me. All far superior dance music videos.
Madonna needs to step up her game. People should be copying her videos, not the other way around. Also the best part of the video was the fat girl popping and locking on the train.
Also, Kylie should slap her for stealing her sound.

I should slap you around for not realizing that Kylie, Eric Pradz, etc.. all came AFTER Madonna had already set the bar higher for them. If women have the power and visibility, it is because of her innovation through most of the 90s..
It should go without saying that you don’t get the jest at all… it takes a dimwit like you to miss the point of the whole retro feel of the video itself.
Dimwit? The video was lame. Face it. Your Queen is OVER. This song is a silly Kylie Minogue throwaway track with an Abba sample.
And I never said she wasn’t a pioneer. And if you made it through my whole post I said that people should be copying her, not vice versa.
And the retro feel of it all was done in MANY videos and it is played out already.
And making snap judgements about a person’s intelligence based on a message board post is ridiculous and makes you look foolish. I’m sure you are smart enough to know that people are entitled to their opinions.
Don’t listen to that queen (Mario) who is in devatsations over his “God’s” fall from pop music’s good graces. Madonna is a has-been whos career should have ended after her abysmal attempt to rap on the American Life CD. And all that message board shade you are throwing hun is pathetic. Madonna doesn’t care about her fans, she just cares about whoring out whatever culture she can get her grubby pilates toned hands on.
Right… she’s over.. that’s why these raving reviews about her performance last night at the EMA’s in Lisbon say she stole the show. Read it for yourselves and WEEP.. furthermore, I’m attaching a review of her upcoming CD from FOXNEWS (you know, the people who HATE Madonna and anything liberal.. they even gave her CD an A- )
As for me being a queen, I don’t mind.. at least I’m not some mindless peasant like you..

Mikey, girl.. word of advice; spell check works wonders for those whose spelling isn’t up to par.
