Behind the Scenes of the JUMP Video
 
 
While finishing her world tour in Japan, Madonna took time out from her busy schedule to shoot the video for her latest single Jump! The shoot took place in many outdoor locations through out Tokyo, as well as a sound stage. Madonna and hair stylist Andy LeCompte decided to take her look to a whole new level and try using a platinum blonde bob wig for this video. The result is everyone loved the wig so much, that it made a cameo in the last two nights of the Confessions Tour! Check out the exclusive picture of Madonna conferring between takes with her choreographer Stefanie Roos, Manager Angela Becker, Hair Stylist Andy LeCompte, and getting touched up by Make Up Artist Gina Brooke.

HIGHLIGHTS
Madonna has released a statement addressing the controversy surrounding her performance on the cross

"I am very grateful that my show was so well received all over the world, but there seems to be many misinterpretations about my appearance on the cross and I wanted to explain it myself once and for all.

There is a segment in my show where three of my dancers 'confess' or share harrowing experiences from their childhood that they ultimately overcame. My 'confession' follows and takes place on a Crucifix that I ultimately come down from. This is not a mocking of the church. It is no different than a person wearing a Cross or 'Taking Up the Cross' as it says in the Bible. My performance is neither anti-Christian, sacrilegious or blasphemous. Rather, it is my plea to the audience to encourage mankind to help one another and to see the world as a unified whole. I believe in my heart that if Jesus were alive today he would be doing the same thing.

My specific intent is to bring attention to the millions of children in Africa who are dying every day, and are living without care, without medicine and without hope. I am asking people to open their hearts and minds to get involved in whatever way they can. The song ends with a quote from the Bible's Book of Matthew:

"For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was naked and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you took care of me and God replied, "Whatever you did for the least of my brothers... you did it to me."
Please do not pass judgment without seeing my show."
