Blog Of This Sister, Madonna

Christopher Ciccone tries his hand at blogging
Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Not content with merely publishing wild and lurid tales about his sister Madonna’s private life in book form, it now appears that her younger brother, Christopher Ciccone, has decided to take up blogging in order to tell the tales he would like to tell but was unable to publish in his new book Life with My Sister, Madonna due to various legalities. The blog promises to provide new content online since some “lawyers [are] blocking some content in the book”. Here is a lovely excerpt from a blogpost about Madonna and her disdain for her stepmother Joan:


Madonna hates our stepmother, Joan. I try and have a little more understanding for Joan and the fact that she has made our father happy again after our natural mother’s death. At times, Madonna pretends to like her and when she does, I always know there’s some weird motive … Madonna knows that Joan likes chocolate milk. “Do you want some Chocolate milk?” Madonna asks, to which Joan nods her head. I go downstairs with Madonna and her friends as Madonna makes her “speciality.” I couldn’t understand why Madonna was so excited about making chocolate milk. But wait… After mixing up the Hershey’s syrup into the milk, Madonna puts her lips together and lets out a spit ball that slowly falls from her mouth into the milk. Madonna takes a dirty fork and mixes it. The audience looks in shock, which Madonna loves. “I think she’ll like this,” Madonna whispers as if she’s the wicked witch of the East. We don’t believe that Madonna is going to give this to Joan, but we follow her back upstairs. By now, Joan and my father have their clothes back on. Madonna gives Joan the milk and Joan thanks her. Madonna turns around with a smile and closes the door. Madonna gags as if she’s going to throw up. The rest of us are still in shock. Till this day, Joan never realized what the “special” ingredient in her chocolate milk was.

Well, I guess Joan Ciccone knows about it now. Thus far, there are only 3 blogposts online right now and none of them are really all that juicy (one is about a private breakdown in 1993 and the other about a threesome he claims to have had with her and a guy named Johnny in 1983 — um, okay, that one is kinda juicy). I’ve yet to read his book myself but I hope it provides more meat than what he’s giving away here. I have a hard time believing that lawyers for Joan Ciccone have tried to “block” this chocolate milk thing from being published in the book (especially since he claims that she never knew about it in the first place … oh yeah, and cuz it’s a lame story) so I don’t get why it’s on the blog at all. I’ll keep my eye on the site to see if anything of substance gets blogged but … meh, I’m not really holding my breath.

Madonna’s Brother Sells Her Out

Tell-all book hits shelves next week
Monday, July 7th, 2008

As rumors about the dissolution of Madonna’s marriage to hubby Guy Ritchie are just beginning to die down a bit and as reports of the very public split between Alex Rodriguez (of the New York Yankees) and his wife Cynthia begin to heat up (Cynthia’s lawyer claims that Madonna was “the final straw” leading to their divorce), new deets from the tell-all book from Maddy’s estranged brother Christopher Ciconne are starting to come out just days before the book, Life with my Sister Madonna, hits bookshelves on July 15. Early indications are that the book will make very bold claims about personal aspects of Madonna’s private life including alleged marriage woes, drug use and sexual experiences. Something tells me that Christopher Ciconne is really lobbying for Brother of the Year this year. Here is the cover of Christopher’s new book and some deets from within its pages:


Madonna’s rocky marriage to Guy Ritchie has survived because of rabbi Yehuda Berg who served as a mediator during their seven-year union, the singer’s brother Christopher Ciccone reveals in his unauthorized biography Life With My Sister Madonna. The book comes out July 15, as reports continue to grow about the singer’s close relationship to Yankees player Alex Rodriguez. According to Ciccone, a major issue in Madonna’s marriage to Ritchie, 39, has been been her desire to live in New York City. Ritchie feels England is a better place to raise their children, Rocco, 7, adopted son David, 2, and 11-year-old daughter Lourdes (dad is Carlos Leon). The bio is also expected to unearth details about the singer’s rampant drug use and lesbian flings. “The book is a warts-and-all account. Chris [Ciccone] was there for all the key moments in Madonna’s life,” an unidentified source told British tabloid The Sun. Madonna has had no part in the book, her rep has said.

Yeesh. It must smart like a mofo to have your brother try and cash in with a book full of sordid tales about your private life. To be honest, I imagine there must be some truth in the book’s pages but I wholeheartedly believe that fabrications and half-truths make up the majority of the book … if you consider that the book publisher may have suggested that liberties and embellishments be added to make the claims more interesting … well, I imagine the book won’t paint a very nice picture of Madonna. It’s no wonder that she and her brother have been estranged for so long … maybe this is his way of getting revenge as well as making some money on the side? On the real, I’d be interested in reading this book. Granted, I’d be taking everything I read with a big grain of salt but I can’t help but be intrigued by what her brother has to say. Nothing in the book would ever change my opinions but I’m afraid I’m dying to know what sort of sordid goss Christopher is trying to peddle.
