Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of August 122 of 7
Unfathomable Milestone of the Week
It seems almost impossible, given that she's still known as the Material Girl, but on Aug. 16, Madonna turned 60! And while you could celebrate by dusting off your copy of her X-rated coffee table book, "Sex," here's a more age-appropriate way to mark the occasion: with a viewing of Madonna: Truth or Dare. The documentary captures the Queen of Pop at her provocative peak, 1990's globe-spanning Blonde Ambition Tour, and director Alek Keshishian creates a sumptuous, sorta-surreal world that brings you (almost uncomfortably) close to the singer herself ... and definitely makes you feel bad for then-beau Warren Beatty. As far as music docs go, it's iconic — kind of like the birthday girl.
