Earlier this year, Madonna confessed she was a "c**p mother". The 48-year-old singer admitted she was finding it a struggle to balance her career with being a parent. She said at the time: "It is a struggle to balance my career with my children. I’m always going, ’Oh God, I’m a c**p mother’. I want to get home and put my kids to bed. "And then sometimes, if I’m spending a lot of time with my children, I think, ’Oh God, I just want to be an artist’."

Madonna faces arrest - Aug 18, 2020
Madonna faces arrest over her controversial mock crucifixion. The ’Hung Up’ singer could be arrested when she performs in Germany on Sunday (20.08.06) if she goes ahead with the much-criticised routine. Dusseldorf police have warned the singer that she could be in breach of their "insulting religious beliefs" law and they will be in the crowd ready to act if she attempts the stunt. During her ’Confessions’ tour, the 48-year-old singer wears a crown of thorns and is hoisted on to a ’disco cross’.

While numerous religious leaders have condemned the performance as "blasphemous", Madonna insists she is performing the stunt to try and raise Aids awareness. Catholic, Muslim and Jewish leaders objected before the singer’s Rome concert earlier this month and there calls for her to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Cardinal Ersilio Tonino, speaking with the Pope’s approval, said: "The concert is a blasphemous challenge to the faith and a profanation to the cross."

Madonna, who was raised a Catholic, has never been afraid to shy away from controversy.
The pop superstar released the erotic book ’Sex’ in 1992 and caused outrage when she kissed a black Jesus while crosses burned behind her in the video for ’Like a Prayer’. If Madonna is arrested, she could face a £20,000 fine and a suspended jail sentence.

Madonna has written to Mel Gibson to offer advice Aug 7, 2020
The ‘Hung Up’ singer is furious with the ‘Lethal Weapon’ actor for making anti-Semitic remarks but has decided to pen a four-page letter to see if she can help.
A source said: “Madonna thought Mel was out of order but also in a low place, so she has written to him to try and help him.”

Gibson, 50, was formally charged on August 2 with drunk driving and having an open bottle of tequila in his car. It was revealed last week that a recording of the comments he made to police in Malibu would not be released.

He is believed to have said: “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”
Meanwhile, Madonna’s husband Guy Ritchie fears the singer could be kidnapped by religious fanatics on her Confessions tour. Madonna is a devout follower of mystical faith Kabbalah and Guy fears her faith could put her in danger.

A source is quoted by Britain’s People newspaper as saying: “Kabbalah is a form of Jewish mysticism. She could be a target for a protest about Israel bombing Lebanon. Guy wants more bodyguards for her.” Madonna’s tour has already caused controversy – Catholic, Muslim and Jewish leaders have all branded her show “blasphemous” because she wears a crowns of thorns and poses on a mirrored cross.
