Whoa! Madonna made her way back home to London, England last night and stepped out on the town to reveal her pair of very sinewy arms … much to the shock and horror of anyone with eyes. OK, so mebbe they don’t look that scary but … well, yeah they do … but at 50 years old, I think it’s safe to say that Madonna is really working hard to stay physically fit — no matter how ugly it looks — but is she actually working towards her health or to her detriment?
Her punishing fitness regime is legendary, but it seems Madonna has finally pushed it too far. The 50-year-old pop star shocked onlookers as she stepped out in London last night in short-sleeved top that revealed her arms. With not an inch of fat to act as a buffer, her protruding muscles and thick bulging veins were clearly visible through her ageing and wrinkled skin. The startling sight resembled an exhibit by the controversial German anatomist Gunter Von Hagens. Madonna’s fanatic approach to exercise is well documented, complete with gruelling two-hour workouts, six days a week. But is seems her relentless pursuit of the perfect body has backfired rather spectacularly. She is also said to have undergone a range of cosmetic alterations in her quest for youthfulness. While she won’t talk the rumours – ‘I’m not against plastic surgery, I’m just against discussing it’ – she is believed to have had cheek implants among other procedures. The new A-list phenomenon, dubbed the ‘pillow face’, gives a plumped-up look, as opposed to the pinched back ‘wind tunnel’ results of a face-lift or the ‘frozen’ effects of Botox. Madonna is back in London with her children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, David Banda, 3, and new addition Mercy, 4, after travelling around Europe with her Sticky And Sweet tour.
Yeesh. I love me some Madonna but this cannot be healthy … her poor arms look like they are dangerously close to being strained to the breaking point — and she’s not even carrying anything! I realize that it is the middle of Summer but she might want to invest in a few long-sleeve shirts so as not to frighten any little children that might cross her path. I keed … but not really cuz, in all honesty, these arms look pretty scary to me. I mean … right?

know who else has some mega-sinewy arms? holly hunter. and she refuses to wear sleaves either.
as for the comment about madonna having ‘ageing and wrinkled skin’ – fuckballs the broad is nearly 51! give her a break!
She needs to eat a sandwich but on the other hand the flash at night is making the arms look way worse than they look usually. I mean, her arms look muscly but not like this in the trillions of candid concert photos that are out there from this period.
i know she’s scary-fit, but i wonder if maybe the pap or company did something with photoshop to make it look worse? they do it a lot to people.
I heard she’s going to start/work with others on starting a party for the republican extremists. that scares me.
ack, sorry trent! was supposed to be in the palin section :)
ugh…thats gunna be a mental image for awhile.
Wow…ew.
I think Madonna looks fab at 50! Her arms are quite telling as to how hard she works to keep her body in good shape. I think she should stick to yoga and dial down the strength training. The hard workouts probably have a lot to do with her tour but she could definately improve on her feminitity if she gave her arms a rest! I would count myself lucky to look that good at 50 though, crazy vein arms and all… shes hot!
Those do not look healthy. If the veins look like that, it’s because there is too little body fat! Eat a cookie!
Wow, those are scary. But her face looks great, for a 51-year old. Thanks to Botox.
Kudos to Madonna for being so fit because it takes a LOT of work in the gym to look like that. Especially in your 50′s! BUT…I do think she’s gone to the extreme. A little fat wouldn’t hurt – I think curves are more sexy than the chiseled look.
Miss the way her arms looked when she was blowdrying her armpits in Susan…
fat old lady arms are less scary than this!
i saw her on tour last saturday,i was like 5 meters from her and i didnt see that in her arms!! Face to face, i saw her really beautyful and, of course, the show was AMAZING
eew that’s disgusting
um, so really, no one’s going to mention that fugly shirt she’s wearing…? Perhaps some photoshop wizard took pity on her ensemble and decided to reshadow the veins on her arms. I mean, look at your bicep… does it seem right that there would be a vein right in the middle there?
i’d rather look like ellen degeneres at 51 – then madonna at 51.

Lets not forget she’s been carrying around baby Mercy as well. While I am not a mommy I know my sister got extra ripped from having a new baby :) I’m just sayin’
That’s so disgusting.
