Madonna splashed out ?900,000 on London home - Jan 27, 2021
Madonna has splashed out ?900,000 on a second London home - so she can move in even more staff. The pop diva’s new mews property is at the end of the garden of her plush Mayfair mansion. The star - who also owns an estate in the English countryside and homes in Los Angeles, New York and Miami - already owns the property adjacent to her new house.

One of the singer’s neighbours told The Sun newspaper: "She loves her home in London but has always wanted more space. Properties here often aren’t as big as the enormous places you can get in Los Angeles. "She had been after the mews house next door for a couple of years. She asked the banking consultant neighbour who owned it if he was prepared to sell and eventually he agreed." The source added: "Madonna likes the added security she will have owning the house next door. She has had big security problems in the past. "She plans to move in more of her staff next door now and she said she could do with the extra office space."

Madonna has sparked health fears - Jan 18, 2021
Madonna has sparked health fears after friends claimed she is looking skinny and exhausted. The pop diva’s pals are reportedly worried she is taking her punishing exercise regime too far - and is jeopardising her health. An insider told America’s New York Daily News newspaper: "She looks way too thin. It’s scary. Everyone around her is buzzing that she’s working herself right into exhaustion."

The singer is said to be following a gruelling fitness programme, including two to three hours a day of yoga and Pilates, plus swimming, weight training and cycling. The 47-year-old star recently admitted she likes keeping in shape for her husband, director Guy Ritchie. She told Elle magazine: "I wish I were comfortable to be a big woman. "But I choose men who like carved-out women, the can-you-run-for-the-bus kind of guy."

Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rosenberg, admits the singer looked tired in some recent photos, but insists it’s because she has been rehearsing for her new video. She said: "I’m about 40 feet away from her and she looks pretty hot to me." Rosenberg added: "How would you look with 10-hour dance rehearsals? "Maybe she’s working harder than usual, but that’s what you have to do before a video."

Madonna banned her daughter from auditioning to be in ’Harry Potter’ - Jan 17, 2021
Madonna reportedly banned her daughter from auditioning to be in the next ’Harry Potter’ film. The star stopped Lourdes, 9, from joining hundreds of other girls who tried out for the role of Luna Lovegood in new movie’Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’.

Lourdes, who is also known as Lola, was said to be desperate to audition after film bosses issued an open call for a new star. But sources say Madonna wants her daughter to wait until she is older to decide what she wants to do with her future. An insider is quoted in the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Lola printed off all the information and showed it to her mum. She’s convinced she has the other-worldly qualities Warner Brothers are looking for. "But Madonna pointed out they’re looking for girls aged between 13 and 16, so she is much too young." The source added: "Lola had a massive sulk and complained that producers would overlook her age because she looks and acts much older than her years."

Last year, the 47-year-old singer revealed she is convinced Lourdes and her five-year-old son Rocco will both follow in her footsteps to become chart-topping musicians. She revealed: "They are both very musical. But Lourdes sings quite well and she’s an incredible ballerina."
