Madonna apparently helped brother Christopher Ciccone pen his “scathing” tell-all on the pop star. Said one source, “The supposed scandal about Christopher Ciccone’s book is bullshit. She actually ghost-wrote parts of it with him, the way Princess Diana helped Andrew Morton write his book on her. That’s why there’s nothing too devastating in Chris’s book. He’s mean to others, but not so much to his sister.” [NY Post]
Calculated Collaboration.

Just as I suspected. I had no interest in reading the book either way, but what could her brother reveal expect confirm what we suspect all along: that she’s a self-serving and calculating bitch, talent or not.
That hardly makes her unique in the constellation of celebrities.
As interesting as it was to read Mary Wilson’s book on the inside dope of the Supremes in 1986, she only gave detail to what steady fans had concluded much earlier, certainly as far as Diana’s behavior is concerned.
This nonsense of Madonna avoiding talk shows that Christopher has appeared to plug the book, will end as soon as they’re both satisfied its well enough into the black, and any pretend ‘estrangement’ will end. A real sibling betrayal would be, for instance, Janet or Jermaine coming forward and saying they actually saw Michael sexing up some underage kid.

Madonna is a homophobic bitch that has whored herself to the gays for years. It is sad to see that she is now whoring herself on her gay brother’s back.
Just remember she laughed while her husband (Guy) made homophobic jokes at her wedding which were so offensive it made her gay brother leave the wedding ceremony meanwhile Madonna kept laughing.

They are just a bunch of trash and we gays have made Gods out of them. She has never had any class and neither does her bro.

I said it first on my blog July 11th that THE VORTEX was in on the book—
http://www.lasurfpunk.blogspot.com
LA*SURFPUNK SAID IT FIRST–I AM CALLING IT OUT!!!!
I am receiving a lot of emails on the Madonna book…
Here’s my thoughts sweeties….
I have been following THE VORTEX since around 1981…..
I am just going to say it and you can send all your friends here to say that I said it….
MZ THANG is a master at manipulation….a master at controversy…..a master at marketing…
JUST THIS YEAR ALONE OF THE VORTEX MAKING HER BLACK HOLE OF MONEY:
APRIL 2008–HARD CANDY drops–all the press, all the ELLE covers worldwide, the SUNSILK ads
MAY 2008–Tickets for SWEET AND STICKY go on sale
JUNE/JULY 2008–Guy and her are splitting/ Chris’s book is coming out
AUGUST 2008, after her b-day, STICKY AND SWEET TOUR starts
So keep the above timeline in your head–
THE VORTEX has sold OVER a million tickets for her stadium tours–
Think about that—as WANDA SYKES says–let that marinate……
1 mill at least…. at $325–at the least– a tix that is @ least $325 million–on the low end of a figure…..
So she has the tour…
…now all the rumors of Guy and her splitting–which she says is not happening….
so all the columnist are writing about the separation in their columns but they always mention in their reports that she has a TOUR coming up–free press for the tour –right?….
okay…now this book…..MZ THANG doesn’t have time to pen her book right now she is still LIVING LIFE and making new adventures to write about….
***HERE IS WHERE I AM SAYING IT……….. I DO THINK SHE IS IN ON THE BOOK–HEY SHE DOESN’T HAVE TIME TO WRITE A BOOK
USE THE BROTHER TO WRITE ONE , MAKE IT SEEM THAT IT IS “UPSETTING”
WHICH CAUSES CONTROVERSY–WHICH IS ONE OF THE VORTEX’S MARKETING TOOLS
SO IT GETS HER FREE PRESS FOR THE TOUR
See how it is one big circle for the tour.
Then in about a decade she will pen her own book to “clarify” all that has been said and written about her—causing more controversy and what have you learned with LA*SURFPUNK’S op/ed piece on THE VORTEX:
CONTROVERSY=SALES=FREE PRESS= MADONNA’S MARKETING TOOL!!!
There I said it…she is in on the book and making it seem like she is “upset” meanwhile the book sells out, #1 on the bestseller list, blah, blah, blah…
Chris and her are on their way to the bank= $$$$$$$$$!!!!!
She always carps on and on –at least in her early years–that she has nothing to hide …she is an open book…
well here ya go–a book that is about to be opened about a life that is opened and has been played out in the public since day ONE…..
I love how she tries to act shocked now and this coming from the one rolling around on the floor like a slut at the MTV awards wearing a bride dress!!!
or her naked hitchhiking on the side of the highway in LA for Herb Ritts while he is clicking away for her SEX book…
QUIT ACTING SHOCKED–LADY!!!! I AIN’T BUYING YOUR ACT!!!!
GIVE ME A BREAK–
YEAH, SHE IS IN ON IT!!!!!!!

The most damaging thing in that book is the Guy Ritchie is a Homophobe angle which is also very convenient since they will likely split soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if Madonna wrote the whole damn book.
And c’mon! her own manager leaked the A-Rod “affair.”

Of course she did, you got to be kidding yourself if you think other wise.
Enough of this bullshit talentless whore and the fucked up family that she rode in on.
