Christopher Ciccone, has written a tell-all about his sister Madonna. It’s called “Life with My Sister Madonna.” It should be called: “Like a Virgin? Yeah Right! How I Screwed Over My Sister for Money.”
I would never pay money to read this book, but I’ve read every article I could find about it. It sounds kinda weird-creepy to me. He talks about who she had sex with — who was her first ever – bleck. It’s a revenge book, which takes a lot of gall considering that she’s supported him and all his business ventures over the years.
I thought this was a pretty comprehensive article if you want to read many of the hightlights. Cup your ear for the sound of the p.r. machine whirring quietly in the background. This guy has clearly been trained: Maybe sure you take every opportunity to highlight your proximity to Madonna. (“We had our sourdough toast.”) Make sure you name drop and trash talk as much as possible. But don’t go too far, so it makes it all more believeable. (So he defends her in the A-Rod scandal.)
Still, there is some damming info. Such as that Madonna does very little to help her 97-year-old grandmother (but I’ll bet there’s another side to this story), and that her family hasn’t yet met the kid she bought in Malawi. But, you have to give snark it’s due. Hence this priceless exchange with GMA:
Ciccone believes that the Madonna of today doesn’t resemble the girl he grew up with — either personally or physically.
“Not after the face-lift,” Ciccone said with a chuckle.
My favorite website has the full scoop on this.
If I were on Oprah’s staff, I’d be pitching this story hard. The O is too upscale to try to get both of them on set at the same time, or just interview him. But Madge would be a great Oprah “get.”
This photo gallery is also worth the spin-through.
