The “Material Girl“ has finalized her ginormous 10-year deal with Live Nation yesterday, although no one has disclosed the exact terms ($$$), which I’m sure are astronomical. The mega-deal involves Madonna’s new studio efforts, tours, merchandise, DVD releases, sponsorships, licensing agreements, fan club, Web site, and TV and film projects. Madonna released this statement:

“The paradigm in the music business has shifted, and as an artist and a businesswoman, I have to move with that shift. For the first time in my career, the way that my music can reach my fans is unlimited. I’ve never wanted to think in a limited way and with this new partnership, the possibilities are endless. Who knows how my albums will be distributed in the future? That’s what’s exciting about this deal — everything is possible.”
