Now selling lotions, does Madonna have one more great album in her?

PERHAPS SOME of you saw Madonna hawking her new skin care line with Jimmy Fallon the other night. Amusing.

There was no personal talk. The star mentioned en passant that she lives in Lisbon now. Unhappily for fans, no music talk, either. However, for those who have good skin and don’t need Madonna’s help in that area, there was a promising quote from The Big M in Entertainment Weekly. Asked by EW if she would ever do an acoustic tour, she responded: “I’ve pushed the whole big-production arena tour to the max and done it the best that I could for such a long time. It’s time for me to take a different approach.” Interesting! But before Madonna even contemplates a tour, fans hope she can settle in with just one producer and create a great and cohesive album. (There actually was a near-great album within the hot mess that was “Rebel Heart.” But circumstances beyond her control — the illegal hacking and release of the album well before it was ready — and her own perverseness in the “Rebel” part of the disc, caused it to stumble.) In my opinion, she’s still got another “Like a Prayer,” “True Blue,” “Erotica,” “Ray of Light,” “Music” or “Confessions on a Dance Floor” in her. As for her skin care line, good luck, but I think I’ll stick to Eliza- beth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream.

I WAS hardly aware that Lady Gaga had completed filming on the latest remake of “A Star is Born” — directed by and co-starring Bradley Cooper — that word comes it will be released in May of next year, rather than in the traditional awards season of September, as originally announced. “They” say this means the movie has perhaps not turned out as well as expected. I say, May is a lovely time of year, and the machinations of studios and publicity are never easy to read. It’s a bit early to go all Henry Higgins on it — “Doomed before they even take the vow!” It’s Gaga; it’s Bradley; it’s a classic Hollywood tale.

ENDQUOTE: “Yes, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her, I think her engine is permanently stalled/She’s so cold, she’s so cold She’s so cold, cold, cold, like a tombstone.”

For some reason, the 1980 Rolling Stones song, “She’s So Cold” kept running through my mind as I watched Megyn Kelly’s daytime debut, “Megyn Kelly Today.” To be fair, we should probably wait a full week to fully critique Kelly, one of the most successful, highly publicized and highly paid TV personalities of the past two or three years. Life isn’t fair.

Way back during her reign on Fox News, the words that always came to mind while watching Kelly was “steely-eyed.” One had the feeling that merely touching the screen would result in screaming, as Mick did, “my hand just froze!” While it is entirely possible Kelly will unbend, get out of her own forced way, and convincingly concoct a warm persona, she is and has always been, the last sort of person you want to spend time with in the morning. Judging by her debut, what Megyn Kelly does best is what she did so successfully over at Fox. Her hectoring, occasional faux “understanding” of the less conservative side, and her startling chilly blonde beauty, were perfectly presented.

Kelly told her first morning audience that she was “through” with politics. That’s too bad. Not that I need to hear her views on politics, but she is made of stern stuff, and is an early evening star; you get to her after a hard day of being inevitably pounded by information. She was, on Fox, a peroxided exclamation point for an exhausted but hyped-up audience.

In the morning, on NBC, she is simply a woman who broke eggs to make tasty omelets, turned the lemons of Trumpian disapproval into sparkling lemonade, and has only the results of her ambition and career cleverness to display.
