Madonna A Ghost Writer?

I really don't believe that Madonna was a ghost writer on brother Christopher Ciccone's tell-all, do you? I think she manipulates the PR machine, sure, but I'm not buying this Page Six claim. Have you see this pic of Madonna taken over the weekend? It's AWFUL!!

Pop superstar Madonna ghostwrote her brother Christopher Ciccone's tell-all book, Life with My Sister Madonna, it was claimed today.

A source tells the New York Post's gossip column Page Six that, "The supposed scandal about Christopher Ciccone's book is bulls*it.

"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."

And the Material Girl hitmaker -- who turns 50 this year -- also used the recent Alex Rodriguez affair/divorce scandal to her advantage.

"She flirted with him and manipulated him," the source said. "She didn't count on wife Cynthia leaving him and naming her in the divorce, though.

"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."

Life with My Sister Madonna, released on July 14, sparked controversy due to claims about Madonna's personal life. Ciccone criticizes the singer's lifestyle, saying that she is a "control freak". He also criticizes Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie, saying Ritchie's homophobic attitude has strained the openly gay Ciccone's relationship with his sister. He further criticizes Madonna's Kabbalah faith, saying that it has validated her negative behavior, and he claims that she has tried to blackmail him into joining the religion.
