Christopher Ciccone reveals Life With My Sister Madonna

Life With My Sister MadonnaMadonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone has betrayed his sister in his new book "Life with my sister Madonna" scheduled for release next week, and the details are already way to juicy too ignore.

According to the New York Post Ciccone writes

* When Madonna decided to have a baby, she first eyed cross-dressing NBA kook Dennis Rodman and "Melrose Place" actor John Enos before she picked Carlos Leon, whom she met in Central Park - even though she was "not sure he fulfills the intelligence requirement."

* When she romped with JFK Jr., Madonna said, "I feel like I am repeating Marilyn [Monroe] and the president."

* Madonna's first husband, Sean Penn, once cornered Ciccone, pulled out a jackknife and insisted, "Let's be blood brothers," then sliced open both their thumbs to seal the deal. Years later, Penn approached the openly gay Ciccone, mentioned the ritual and asked, "You don't have AIDS, do you?"

MadonnaAbout her current husband, Ciccone writes his sister and Guy Ritchie love each other and are not splitting up, despite recent rumors. They are "passionately committed" to their marriage, he writes.

Yankee Jose Canseco has told Us Weekly how the singer, 49, tried to romance him in 1991 "She wanted to get married and have a child with me — she wanted a Cuban child," he said.

Britney Spears Play Receptionist In TV Sitcom


Surprisingly, viewers were quite impressed with her acting skills. After months of trauma and erratic behaviour, Britney Spears has hit America's TV screens. And this time round, it is not because she has been rushed to hospital or is at another court hearing.
As Sima Kotecha has commented from BBC.

An executive producer for "How I Met Your Mother" says he's open to having Britney Spears return for another cameo.
We always said, 'You know, if her character pops, we'll bring her back,"' Carter Bays told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I thought she was great. I was very proud of that episode."

I think she's not hopeless as an actor – given the right words to speak, you can believe her.
She's got that baby voice she falls back on, and it gets a bit annoying.
"She did pretty good" playing a dorky receptionist who falls for Ted (Josh Radnor) on CBS’ Hot I Met Your Mother, Charna Halpern, artistic director of Chicago’s Improv Olympic Comedy Club, tells Usmagazine.com. “There was a sweetness to her, a vulnerability.
Her role was “over the top, and she certainly went for it,” Aliza Shane, director of NYC’s Looking Glass Theater. “Clearly, she likes being on camera, no one can argue that!”
