BOOK NEWS: Life With My Sister Madonna
Well Christopher Ciccone has been doing the rounds on the American interview circuit, which can only mean one thing. He's got a book out. Not a book about himself, but a tell all book about his famous sister, Madonna.
Life With My Sister Madonna is out now. No doubt it will be fascinating and I kind of fancy reading it, but I'm always uncomfortable about people writing books off the back of and exploiting the privacy of someone else...what do you think?

I LOVE Madonna. For me she can do no wrong (except, perhaps the Kabbalah thing). I know she was disappointed in her brother when she found out he was writing this book so while I desperately want to read it I never will because it would make me feel like I was being disloyal to my queen.
Go ahead and mock.

I do think it's terrible that he's written it, but I really want to read it.

Stella I would never mock! I can understand that completely. I'm afraid though, I'm like Keris. Against the idea that he's written it, but now he has...well.

Look this video and listen a Madonna's new album song! It's fantastic! http://memopal.clickmeter.com/315674.html

I, too, love Madonna. She and SJP are my biggest girl-crushes. But I couldn't read this book. He couldn't carve out a life of his own, so he's riding on his sister's coat tails. Very lame. I would, however, read a book that relates what HIS life was like having lived in Madonna's shadow. That would be much more interesting to me than a catty, tell-all.

I think there are alot of things that are obvious about Madonna that you don't have to read in a book. It's very clear that he wants to profit off her fame, and it's really sad that no matter how much their relationship has deteriorated, he has to write a book spilling her "secrets". I really pity him.
