Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone's' "unauthorized" biography, Life With My Sister Madonna, certainly came at a convenient time for the pop star, even if she was said to object to its content. Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" tour starts later this summer and people are saying Madonna must be behind it since she'll stop at nothing to get any kind of press. It isn't that much of a logical leap considering how she's managed her career to date. Recently she's been accused of capitalizing on her cult-loving friendship with Alex Rodriguez to fuel affair rumors. She issued a statement that people are so easily fooled by the supposedly fake stories about their affair while she's said to be lapping up the coverage behind the scenes.
Christopher's book doesn't paint a compassionate picture of the powerhouse diva, but Page Six says that doesn't matter to her - they claim she made sure that it was acceptable before it went to publication and that she underwrote passages herself:
MADONNA is truly the master of media manipulation. "The supposed scandal about [her brother] Christopher Ciccone's book is bull[bleep]," an insider told Page Six. "She actually ghost-wrote parts of it with him, the way Princess Diana helped Andrew Morton write his book on her. That's why there's nothing too devastating in Chris's book. He's mean to others, but not so much to his sister." In addition, Madge, now frighteningly rail thin, exploited Alex Rodriguez. "She flirted with him and manipulated him," our source declared. "She didn't count on wife Cynthia leaving him and naming her in the divorce, though." Madonna is using the buzz over her relationship with A-Rod to her benefit. "She's ordered three A-Rod Yankee jerseys she'll wear in the finale of her upcoming shows. All of this was created to sell tickets for her tour, which hasn't been selling so well." A rep for Madonna didn't return calls.

The NY Post is far from reliable and it's possible they're just basing this story on an educated guesses that people are making considering the book's timing. I am inclined to believe that Madonna really isn't behind the biography at all and that she's pissed off at Chris. He came off as completely honest about it in interviews and the details he revealed about her were not flattering to her. He said she only gives their grandmother $500 a month, that she uses Kabbalah like a weapon, and that he's not talking to her anymore. It's possible he's as much of a master manipulator as his sister, though, and that he's not revealing that they worked together on the book in exchange for a boatload of money. Or maybe they did have a falling out and she contributed some parts of the book but doesn't agree with everything that's in there. As it is we're giving Madonna far too much attention by even speculating on this crap.
Madonna is shown out at the Kabbalah Centre on Saturday. That's Sabbath day in Judaism and she's wearing a freaking jogging suit and high heeled sneakers to church. Credit: WENN
