Happy 50th birthday to Madonna. She doesn't look a day over 49. And the Sticky And Sweet world tour starts in a week.

Prince, Madonna, and Michael Jackson all turning 50 this year. What a magical year 1958 was, huh?

She's 50, but her face is only 5 months old!

The face lift looks good on good ole Madge...she's doing just fine, continuing to make a gazillion dollars off her tours and stay front and center in the public eye. I hope she actually did Alex R as it would be hard not to if you were in close quarters with him...i mean, come on..."Alex, let's skip prayer class today, just take your clothes off..."

I read a chapter of her brother's book and it was terribly entertaining...pure inside dish...as much as I shake my head at writing a tell all about your sister especially when she's the only reason anyone knows who you are (if they do) he's not exactly trashing her - he recognizes her unique brilliance and amazing talent at manipulation..He tells too much - but dishy stuff like doing coke with crazy Courtney Love and Jack Nicholson give it that rare 'all the way inside' vibe - like visiting the show biz zoo and realizing that while the celebs may think they're special, they're usually way more f*cked up then us mortals...

I'm so out of it, but I'm just learning about Madonna's new face. Yikes, it's scary.

But on a more positive note: Happy half-century Madonna! May the Kabbalah be with you!
