Madonna flashes bum during concert in Rome

As if flashing breasts was not enough, Madonna went ahead and recently flaunted her rear during a live performance in Italy on Tuesday.

Never one to cover up, the ‘Material Girl’ took off her pinstriped trousers and turned on stage to reveal her black lingerie and fishnet-clad derriere in front of fans who crowded the Olympic Stadium in Rome to watch her perform, a leading daily has reported.

To top off the racy ensemble, the 53-year-old pop diva had the words “no fear” written prominently on her back. It was an evening full of extravagant getups for the singer, who also wore a preppy red and white cheerleader outfit while backup dancers appeared around her in marching band costumes.

She also repeated one of her more famous looks, wearing a version of her notorious cone bra over a white collared shirt and tie. The aging singer certainly has not been bashful about showing off her assets on stage -- much to her critics’ dismay.

Over the weekend, she shocked concert-goers in Istanbul after pulling down the cup of her bra to purposely expose her entire right breast while singing “Human Nature.”

She later unzipped her trousers and put her hand down her pants on stage. Not everyone was amused by Madonna’s antics, however, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to voice his views.

“Most embarrassing, cringe-worthy, desperate moment in the history of music?” Morgan tweeted.

Madonna will continue her 80-concert MDNA tour with performances in Milan and Florence later this week.

Madonna’s nude picture goes up for sale

A photograph of Madonna posing naked on a bed while smoking a cigarette is going up for sale. The provocative image was shot by fashion photographer Steven Meisel but was never included in her controversial 1992 book Sex. The 1990 photograph is expected to fetch over 10,000 dollars when


it goes under the hammer at Bonhams in New York next month.

MadonnaThe Frozen hitmaker, who would have been around 32 years old when the photo was taken, is featured sporting bleach-blonde hair and dark eye make-up, Fox News reported.

A strategically placed bed sheet saves the shot from indecency as the singer sprawls out naked on her mattress.

She stares seductively at the camera as she places a lit cigarette into her mouth with a pair of manicured fingertips.

Her tome Sex contained a series of sexually provocative and explicit images, all captured by Meisel.

Despite a poor critical reception, 1.5 million copies of the book were sold in a matter of days.

It coincided with the release of her equally raunchy fifth studio album Erotica.

Madonna`s brother homeless

Pop diva Madonna`s elder brother is living on the streets of Michigan after losing his job and doing odd jobs like collecting bottles for survival.
Anthony Ciccone claims he has been homeless for over a year since losing his job at his father`s winery in Suttons Bay, Michigan. He said that his relatives, including his sister, had turned their back on him.

"My family turned their back on me, basically when I was having a hard time. You think I haven`t answered this kind of question - why my sister is a multi-bazillionarie, and I`m homeless on the street?

"Never say never. This could happen to anybody. I don`t have any income. I`ve got to go collect bottles and cans, do odd jobs," contactmusic.com quoted the 55-year-old as saying.

Why Madonna wanted to jump off a building?

The 4 Minutes singer admitted only her hectic work schedule and world tour helped her through a “challenging” 12 months which saw her marriage to the British film director end and courts initially block her application to adopt four-year-old Malawian girl Mercy.

She told Rolling Stone magazine: “It was certainly a challenging year. I may have thrown myself off a building. I think work saved me and I’m very grateful I had work to do.”

Madonna filed for divorce in October 2008, and it was finalised in December. She was left stunned when after initially accepting her adoption bid for Mercy to join her family – daughter Lourdes, 13, and sons Rocco, nine, and four-year-old David, who she also adopted from Malawi - a court rejected her request in April 2009 because she hadn’t been a resident in Malawi for at least 18 months. She appealed the decision and was granted permission to adopt Mercy in June.

During the period of changes, the star was also performing on her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ world tour, which began in August 2008 and ran until last month.

Despite getting older, the 51-year-old star has vowed not to tone down her live shows in future as she would get “bored” if she scaled back her tricky song-and-dance routines.

She said: “People have told me, ‘You could just go out there and play guitar and sing your songs like Paul McCartney’ but I’d be bored. “Most of the joy of shows is the magic of creating them – the theatre. I’m a perfectionist. I like hard work. I like to sweat.”

Madonna wanted to sell candies!

Pop diva Madonna has revealed she wanted to work in a candy store when younger because she was obsessed with sweets.

The 51-year-old singer who now follows a strict diet and exercise regime was so "obsessed" with sweet treats as a teenager that she wanted to get a job selling them, reports contactmusic.com.

"My dream was always to work in a candy store. It was because of my obsession with candy. I'm not obsessed anymore, now that my teeth are all rotten," she said.

"I did go to a university for a year and there was a candy shop that I used to go to all the time, an old-fashioned one where all the candy was in these big glass jars. I used to go in there and look at all the candy and think, 'God, it would be really cool to work in here; I could have candy whenever I wanted'," she added.

Madonna's ambitions changed when she moved to New York in the 1970s and decided she wanted to be a pop star.

"When I moved to the Big Apple, that was when I knew that that's what I was going to do - be a singer and a songwriter and an entertainer," she said.

"I didn't care if I had to starve, and live in a room with five guys, and wash in a sink; that was what I'm going to do. And because I lived a pretty dismal life and I didn't care," she added.

Madonna Turns Journalist to Write about religion

Queen of Pop’ Madonna has turned journalist for Israel's biggest-selling newspaper.

The 50-year-old pop star's article on her conversion to the Jewish cult of Kaballah has been displayed prominently on the front page of Yediot Ahronot with a byline.

The article titled 'How My Life Changed' was translated into Hebrew by the paper and an excerpt of it was published on Wednesday while the full article will be published on Friday.

In her article, the singer describes her religious awakening more than a decade ago.

Madonna who was born a Christian had alienated the Church with her antics including her many sexually explicit stage shows where she had appeared crucified.

She is an astute follower of Kaballah and has adopted the Hebrew name of Esther and studies Jewish mysticism.

The singer had also made a private pilgrimage to Israel in 2004 and will perform in two shows in the country in September as part of her 'Sticky & Sweet' international tour.
