Madonna

THE stress of the past month is taking its toll on MADONNA.

The Queen Of Pop has sacked two dancers and her tour manager is threatening to walk out over her spectacular moods.

And for the first time, despite her incredible fitness regime, her health has started to suffer.

Doctors discovered Madge is anaemic, a surefire sign she is overdoing it, and she also suffered a painful knee injury.

Madge has had a doctor, physiotherapist and a chiropractor on duty during rehearsals for her forthcoming Sticky & Sweet world tour.

This week medical experts ordered her to take her foot off the pedal on the punishing dance routines because her body simply cannot cope.

She is now taking time out and resting in New York state's Hamptons resort with close pal GWYNETH PALTROW.

Bwhahahahaahha

The usual assortment of losers come out and degrade Madonna on everything from her appearance to her age. Listen, no one cares that she is 49. Old? So what. What do you haters hope to accomplish by doing this? You are not going to change ONE mind about her on this board. Ever. You aren't going to take away ANY of her success, former or current. Most of you must be Republicans the way you operate. You can say she is a has-been and no talent all you want, it doesn't make it so. She is a renowned songwriter and she has had the 3 biggest hit songs of her career this decade. She is, according to mediatraffic, going to end this decade, THIS decade, as the most successful female of the 00's. You guys sound like the Bush admin when they keep trying to link Saddam to 9/11 and WMD's.

As for this story- BALONEY. She is probably anemic due to her diet and schedule for the tour. That can be easily fixed.

Meanwhile, she is going to keep on being insanely successful and popular despite the rumblings of a few anon posters on HuffPo. LMFAO

Hey CowgirlAmy

Are you a Madonna troll? A look at your profile shows you do nothing but defend her from her many detractors.

I greet any "news" about Madonna with suspician, it has never been beyond her to manufacture publicity to keep her name in print. Is it any coincidence that the increase in Madonna news coincides with the release of her new album and a multi million dollar supporting tour?

No one gives a rat's behind whether she is successful or not.

It's the constant media attention and wasted web page space that bother most people. She is glorified as someone who has limitless talent and popularity, when comments on web sites such as this show the real sentiment the general public has towards her. After all these years she has shown herself to be a narcissistic, bubble-headed, unoriginal, demanding, self-righteous, demented, controlling, morally loose, over-exposed celebrity who most of us wish would just drop out of sight.

A majority of her fans are international. Here in the U.S. I don't think I would be overstating it when I say that most people believe her glory days have long passed, and that her attempt at squeezing every last bit of money to support her vainglorious lifestyle is pathetic. If she drove off a cliff tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough.

Diet and exercise are great for anyone at any age.

But Madonna should face it: she is old.
Too old to be acting like a 20-something sexually attractive diva.

If I want a woman with budging veins and a body composed of bones only, I'll take up necrophilia.

Anemia seems to be an occupational hazard for vegan divas, along with sanity issues.

Here's another story about a vegetarian celebrity with a monster ego and sanity issues.

Dare to dream of her demise. She's sold out everywhere, and both of her concerts here in Denver sold out in under an hour...and that's with $400 ticket prices. Everything I've read is that she may stand to pull in $300M on this tour alone. I'd say her career is still going well.

She needs to pull it together, though, and hanging out with Gwyn, her #1 enabler in the 4 hours of exercise a day and microbiotic diet department, isn't going to help any.

Why the hell is this on HuffPo anyway? I understand that there is an entertainment section but, Jesus Christ, the woman never had any talent! EVER!

You really think that? Have you seen how many cd's she has sold over the years? Mixed entertainment, music and showmanship.

Or is this a case of a bit of jealousy?

C'mon. The pop music world is littered with untalented financial successes. Showmanship is not necessarily creative genius. She has marketed herself well, but the product may have reached its sell-by date.

She should move on. She could try hosting an intimate interview show where her sense of humor was the draw. If she has any humor left. Lay off the Chamalla though. That crap will make you see stuff.
