Madonna angered religious leaders - May 23, 2020
Madonna has angered religious leaders by being ’crucified’ on stage on the opening night of her world tour. The pop diva was ’nailed’ to a 20ft glittering cross before singing her hit, ’Live to Tell’, to a 20,000-strong audience in Los Angeles on Sunday (21.05.06).

A Church of England spokesman is quoted on the BBC website as saying: "Why would someone with so much talent seem to feel the need to promote herself by offending so many people?" David Muir, of the Evangelical Alliance, said the pop diva’s use of Christian imagery "is an abuse and it is dangerous". He added: "She should drop it from the tour and people need to find their own means of expressing their disapproval."

Elsewhere in the Confessions show, the 47-year-old star proved she is still the undisputed Queen of Pop. Fans went wild when she burst onstage from a giant glitter ball and launched into ’Future Lovers’.

As she performed, gigantic images of her broken bones - from when she fell from her horse last year - where displayed on the stage.

Madonna married Guy Ritchie to make her look good - May 18, 2020
Madonna has admitted she only married husband Guy Ritchie to make her "look good". The pop superstar wed the English film director in December 2000 but now says she tied the knot with him for all the wrong reasons.

She told Tatler: "I went into the marriage saying, ’He’s fantastically talented,very witty, very smart. He’s going to make me laugh and look good because he’s so successful and, of course, he’s gorgeous, sexy and handsome."

However, the mum-of-two says she now realises what marriage is about and what makes one strong. She added: "But none of these things mean anything after you’ve been sharing a life together for a few years and you’re dealing with raising children and scheduling and finances. You have to go back to what is the point of marriage. "You go to school to learn how to learn and I think marriage is about learning to learn as well. Diane Sawyer once said to me that a good marriage is a contest of generosity - I thought that was a good thing to say."
