Madonna's brother writes torrid tattle tale! Is Britney Spears next?
Madonna's estranged brother, Christopher Ciccone, has written a book about her, "Life with My Sister Madonna."
And he could not have picked a better time for the tattle tale to come out.
The tome will hit the bookshelves right before her "Sticky and Sweet" concert tour, when her marriage to Guy Ritchie appears to be in trouble and just as Cynthia Rodriguez has filed for divorce from her New York Yankees husband, Alex Rodriguez, on the grounds of adultery.
Madonna has been rumored to have spent late nights with the baseball star at her NY apartment. She has officially denied any romantic involvement with A-Rod, who is now studying Kabbalah.
Ciccone, a gay decorator and chef who once worked for Madonna on a 1993 tour and the documentary "Truth or Dare," depicts Madonna as "manipulative and self-obsessed."
Wow. Hold the presses.
According to the Daily Mail, his memoir includes everything from gossip to inside secrets about Madonna's sex life.

Aren't families fun?
The book claims Madonna lost her virginity to a "guy named Russell," that Madonna called ex-husband Sean Penn a "paranoid control freak" and that Madonna lover Warren Beatty cornered Ciccone at a party and quizzed him intensely on what it was like to be gay. That's it?
The book recalls Bruce Willis allegedly chatting up other women while still married to Demi Moore, Ciccone dancing with Moore at a drag queen club, Madonna allegedly kissing Gwyneth Paltrow on the mouth during a New Year's Eve party at which Ciccone and Ritchie almost came to blows.
Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, has stated that the singer had not read the memoir but found it "very upsetting" that Ciccone "has decided to sell a book based on his sister."
"I would have to assume she has come to terms with the fact that they do not have a close and loving relationship," Rosenberg said. "'And with the book coming out, I assume that will remove the chances of that ever happening."
Meanwhile, Britney Spears can probably feel Madonna's pain.
Britney is reportedly the subject of an upcoming tome by investigative reporter Ian Halperin, the author of "Hollywood Undercover: Revealing the Sordid Secrets of Tinseltown." His book "Stalking Britney: Under Siege with Britney Spears," will reveal details of her suicide attempts and allegations about substance abuse.
Will you buy -- or borrow -- either of these trashy tell-all books about Madonna or Britney?

Just to correct your information - madonna's brother worked on her 1990 tour blond ambition - the dvd for this was "Truth or dare", and the tour was not 1993!!
Don't worry, Christopher, I will give you all the "brotherly love" you need, even if your witch of a sister can't or won't.
Also, this proves Miss Rosenberg is a real toad (no offense to real toads, of course), now given to issuing veiled threats: You better kiss Madge's *** or else!
Sometimes bad publicity IS bad publicity, Material Girl.
Dear Princess DI
According to the Daily Mail article I linked to. and i quote: Ciccone - a Miami-based designer - was once extremely close to his sister and has worked with Madonna in the past, designing and directed two of the stars biggest world tours, 'Girlie Show' tour in 1993 and Blonde Ambition in 1990."
Are they wrong? let me know!
I checked IMDB and he is listed as artistic director for the 1991 documentary film, "Truth or Dare."
He did some of the set design for both "Blonde Ambition" & "Girlie Show" tours. He had a bigger involvement in "Blonde Ambition" though...
I stopped paying for anything Madonna does years ago. She is self-involved and disgusting, so I feel no real joy from anything she represents. A lot of people are buying up tickets to the next show for sentimental reasons. I have no feelings about Madonna and the past in that regard. I think this woman is a mess. If I make a purchase for the book, it will be at a used book store. BTW - this last CD of hers sucks the big one! (But maybe she can save that actuality for the next tour...)
He Is Because She Is: The Incredible Conceit of Madge's Disappointment In Her Brother
AFTER A LIFETIME SPENT HAWKING EVERYTHING YOU OWN FOR PUBLICITY -- NUDE PICTURES, SEX SECRETS, AFFAIRS OF THE HEART -- YOU CAN BET THAT MADONNA'S BROTHER PICKED UP A FEW TIPS ON HOW TO SELL.
So it seems a bit disingenuous that Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg confesses that her client finds it "very upsetting" that her big brother "has decided to sell a book based on his sister."
Now as the book gets released today, the headlines' frame it as Madonna being "betrayed." Here's what I call him: smart opportunist. Why shouldn't he be allowed to play the game he's witnessed so well?
