Bits and pieces of Madonna’s brother’s tell-all biography about the singer are leaking out bit by bit. Some of it is pretty boring – and the vast majority isn’t exactly shocking. Not because it isn’t semi-interesting, but more because there’s little left about Madonna that’s truly surprising. Though sometimes it’s nice just to get a confirmation of all those rumors you always thought were true. And frankly, Christopher Ciccone’s book couldn’t come out at a worse time for Madonna. She’s not exactly facing a love fest, in terms of PR.
The most obvious revelation so far is Ciccone’s assertion that Madonna is practically in love with herself. Which isn’t exactly a surprise – but makes you wonder how she’s going to counter that assertion.
A memoir by Madonna’s brother says the singer really does love her husband, director Guy Ritchie, but, apparently, not as much as she loves her career and herself. “I hope that it is Kabbalah’s lesson that she is not the center of the universe,” Christopher Ciccone writes in “Life With My Sister Madonna,” scheduled to come out next Tuesday but purchased in advance by The Associated Press.
According to her brother, she and Ritchie love each other, despite rumors that they are splitting up. He believes they are “passionately committed” to staying married, with the help of Kabbalah.
The book offers snapshots of Bruce Willis allegedly hitting on other women while still married to Demi Moore, of Ciccone dancing with Moore at a drag queen club, of Madonna allegedly kissing Gwyneth Paltrow on the mouth during a New Year’s Eve dance at which Ciccone said that he and Ritchie got into a shoving match.
Ciccone describes Ritchie as a man’s man undisturbed by homophobic humor, whose emergence in Madonna’s life marks “the death knell” of the Ciccones’ brother-sister bond. Ciccone portrays Madonna as a show business survivor — bossy and self-absorbed, sometimes compassionate, mindful of “how little faith many people once had in her.”
[From the Daily News]
You don’t really hear a whole lot about Guy Ritchie’s personality since he and Madge got married. She tends to overshadow everyone else, to say the least. It’s interesting to hear that he got into a shoving match with his own brother-in-law. I wonder what it was about.
Madonna’s PR rep said she hadn’t read the book but was very upset by what she’s heard about it. Her rep also said she assumes that the book is the final nail in the coffin in terms of their brother-sister relationship. Though by Ciccone’s own assertion the two haven’t been close in a long time. I think it’s kind of low of Christopher to do this to his own sister… but on the other hand it’s Madonna, and it’s hard to have much sympathy for her lately.
thats all he got..LOL
