The Queen Of Pop, Madonna reaches another milestone in her life on Saturday when she celebrates her 50th birthday. The bash that had been arranged for the big day has been put back a ‘few weeks’ because of an injury to the singer, it has been reported this week.
It Is Twenty five years since Madonna’s first UK top ten hit Lucky Star, this was promptly followed in 1984 by her first number one Like A Virgin. Throughout her career Madonna has kept pace with musical trends and while not always at the forefront of new music, somehow manages to make it feel like her own, such as Ray Of Light and more recently 4 Minutes.
In an attempt at groundbreaking journalism the Daily Mail today, reports that they have sent journalists to Malawi where Madonna is allegedly awaiting the adoption of three year old Mercy James, to get a scoop on the brother they left behind.
The Mail tracks down the Father of Madonna’s adopted son David only to find that the penny pinching Queen Of Pop has never offered to support the Father or his family.
One thing that Madonna has certainly done in her career is feed the ever hungry media with plenty of headline stories and it always gets me how the press build these people up and then do everything possible to discredit them.
Needlessly the story reports that David’s father ‘can only hope to earn £26 a year.’ The paper suggests that Madonna probably tips more than that when dining at ‘celebrity haunt San Lorenzo in Knightsbridge’!
But I save the worst bit until last. The Mail says that even two years after arriving in Britain, David has a sorrowful look in his eyes, as if somewhere inside him he has retained a residual memory of his difficult early months in Malawi.
Absolute drivel, just what this type of journalism expects to achieve I have no idea.
I doubt that it will bother Madonna too much, at fifty she is still on top of her game, the Queen Of Pop is not even considering taking it easy once she hits the Big Five O, as she will be continuing on the European leg of her Sticky And Sweet Tour, which kicks off at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium on August 23rd.
The Sticky And Sweet Tour will then travel to mainland Europe, starting in Nice on August 26th and finishing in Athens on September 27th. Madonna Ticketsare available from Viagogo.
