Madonna Ghostwriter?

Posted on July 28th, 2008 in Christopher Ciccone, Madonna by lalate

Madonna


Madonna the ghostwriter? Did Madonna act as a ghostwriter on her brother Christopher Ciccone’s book? One paper this morning says absolutely. Ciccone has always been close his sister. Then rumors of a “tell all book” hit the press. Only problem - the book doesn’t tell much. Most have called the book not scandalous, relatively tame. But now Page Six is calling it a big publicity stunt to sell tickets for her tour.

“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.” says a source to Page Six.

Did you read the book? Did anyone read the book? And does anyone even care? Can anyone even afford the price of her tickets anymore?

Warren Beatty Madonna

Madonna Book

Actor and former boyfriend Warren Beatty was “so suspicious of Madonna” that he would go through her trash for evidence she was cheating on him, is today’s newest allegation by Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone in his book “Life With My Sister Madonna”.

The book, first broke by AP and then LALATE in the U.S., is out next week.

But this week, it’s another day, another man-story for Madonna. Today: Warren Beatty.

Yes, these stories sound like they are from another generation … because they are. Madonna dated Warren Beatty in the last century.

Other new man-tidbits hitting the fan today from Ciccone:

Allegedly…

- That Madonna was reportedly interested in Dennis Rodman and John Enos; Madonna picked up Carlos Leon in Central Park (hello, like that is a big revelation?) but she was “not sure he fulfills the intelligence requirement.”;

- That she said of JFK Jr and herself “I feel like I am repeating Marilyn [Monroe] and the president.” ;

- That she “hangs an 8-by-12-foot photo of herself in S&M gear and lying on a bed with dead animals in her home - in full view of the kids. It’s “the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen,” Ciccone writes.” ;

- And That “Guy Ritchie is a homophobe whose heterosexuality “swells noticeably” in the presence of gay men.”

No comment yet from Madonna, Guy Ritchie, or Beatty about Ciccone’s allegations.

Ciccone Good Morning America

Posted on July 8th, 2008 in Good Morning America, Christopher Ciccone, Chelsea Handler, Madonna by lalate

Good Morning

SHOCKER! Good Morning America and Chelsea Handler will get the first and second exclusive interviews of Christopher Ciccone next week. Ciccone will reveal all the shocking details about Madonna in his first public video interviews to promote his book “Life With My Sister Madonna”. The Christopher Ciccone interview for GMA will be taped on July 14 and then live in studio on July 15, the day the book goes on sale. Ciccone will next appear on Handler July 23 for E!

Until now, Ciccone has not spoken about the book. The book was first broken by LALATE as a publishing ”blind sale”, in which resellers order copies without knowing the author or subject.

This has been some month for Madonna. From Alex Rodriguez reports, to Guy Ritchie claims, to record ticket sales, it’s been a mess of good and bad.

The book has an initial printing of 350,000 copies. Expect that to sell out it’s first week.

LALATE is expecting a blockbuster, the biggest book this summer.

Christopher Ciccone !

Christopher Ciccone

JUST IN: LALATE was the first to break the Christopher Ciccone Madonna tell-all book. Now LALATE has the details on the Christopher Ciccone book “Life with My Sister Madonna”.

Several weeks ago, LALATE told you that the Ciccione Madonna book was reportedly a “blind sale” to resellers. In the world of publishing, that term meant that resellers were to commit to buy the book without the details (subject, author, nature) being revealed.350,000 were sold back then, but no one knew who the book was even about!

The “publisher had been promoting a celebrity memoir for July, asking bookstores to order copies without identifying the author or contents”. AP and then LALATE broke you the news first: the topic was Madonna and the author, her brother.

Now the British press courtesy of the Sun is dishing the details about the book hitting your bookstores this August.

The paper claims the book tells “how Madonna, now 49, flirted with Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth at a glamorous New Year party thrown by leading fashion designer DONATELLA VERSACE…. Madonna grabbed Gwynnie, pulled her to her and kissed the stunned Hollywood star full on the mouth.”

“Ciccone, 47, will also tell all about her rocky marriage to Hollywood actor SEAN PENN. And the explosive book will spill the beans about her rows with film director hubby Ritchie.”

Says the mag source, “The book is a warts-and-all account. Chris was there for all the key moments in Madonna’s life. There is no-one better placed to tell the real story behind Madonna’s public image.” “

A rep for Madonna says about the book: “Madonna has not co-operated with any biography about herself.”

Amid Cynthia Rodriguez stories, allegations of a breakup from Guy Ritchie, is this book bad timing … or perfect timing, just as Madonna concert ticket sales are expected to break all records?

Are you going to buy the book? Or does anyone even care anymore?

Christopher Ciccone Madonna Book !

Posted on June 11th, 2008 in Christopher Ciccone, Madonna by lalate

Madonna

NEW BOOK! Christopher Ciccone has written a book about his sister Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie that will be hitting bookstores next month. Simon & Schuster has revealed to AP moments ago that the Ciccone Madonna book will have a first printing of 350,000 copies and be in stores in July, just weeks away!

AP reports on the Ciccone Madonna book with the opening line today as ”The mystery is solved”.

Why “mystery”?

AP claims that the “publisher had been promoting a celebrity memoir for July, asking bookstores to order copies without identifying the author or contents”. Today its author, Ciccone, and topic, Madonna, was revealed.

This process is called a “blind order” for bookstores.

Reports AP, blind orders have failed in the past, even for Princess Diana. “In 2006, William Morrow offered a mysterious tell-all that turned out to be by Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, who had already written about her. Retailers were angered and the book sold poorly.”

No comment yet from Madonna about today’s news.

Only a few weeks of promotion? Does this make sense? Will you buy it? Very exciting news!
