…or at least your bank account to your brother.

According to a newspaper interview in Michigan.  Madonna’s older brother, Anthony Ciccone, says he’s living under a bridge.

According to Ciccone: “My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time.” He attributes his circumstances to losing his job at his father’s winery over a year ago.

Man, if this can happen to the brother of a kazillionaire music talent in America, this can happen to anyone. I don’t know what the family situation is here, but you would think that a sibling wouldn’t let their own blood live on the streets.

Madonna: Express Yourself and Open Your Heart to help your own brother Keep It Together.  These are your words, not mine.

The Majestic Theatre is having an 80s vs 90s Dance Party – Madonna Edition on Friday, February 18th which got me thinking…which version of Madonna is my favorite Madonna?

See a bunch of fully outfitted Madonna’s Friday night, and make sure to stop by and show Charlie’s Party Patrol your best Voguing!

Apparently not.  She’s being sued for the title Material Girl.

Madonna just finished up a line of kids clothes that she made with her 13-year old daughter Lourdes which they want to call “Material Girl.”  Not so fast according to an LA-based fashion company that says they already own the name and have been marketing it since 1997.

WTF?  Didn’t Madonna trademark the name when her song came out?

I’m not sure, but check out the lyrics to her song.  I’m pretty sure when she sings it, it’s legally binding.

5.  Bono Trashes Chris Martin – The Diss: “He’s a wanker.”
4. Elton John Trashes Keith Richards – The Diss: “He’s so pathetic, poor thing. It’s like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.”
3. Lily Allen Trashes Madonna – The Diss: “”She might have meant something once, but I don’t know many people my age who care.”
2. Sammy Hagar Trashes David Lee Roth – The Diss: “I just saw a guy who was half the singer and half the performer he used to be, who spray-paints his hair on before he goes onstage and still acts like he’s in Van Halen in 1982!”
1. Joni Mitchell Trashes Bob Dylan – The Diss: “Bob is not authentic at all. He’s a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake.”

Rihanna has once again decided to let her locks do the talkin’ with this new fiery hairdo.  She debuted it at the Rock In Rio festival in Madrid.  Not sure if it’s Fierce or a Fail.

Then again, when you consider some of her other choices, maybe it’s an improvement.  Nice shout out to Madonna’s cone bra though.

5. Madonna is single again, but it wasn’t her decision. Jesus Luz ended their relationship because of their huge age difference — he’s 23; she’s 51 — and their lack of mutual interests. But sources say Madonna understood and the split was amicable. The two of them started dating after meeting at a December 2008 photo shoot for “W” magazine.

4. Drew Barrymore’s Facebook status was changed to “engaged,” but before you start congratulating her and Justin Long, don’t. Her rep says it’s all a hoax and that Drew isn’t even on Facebook. The on-again/off-again couple seem to be on again, though. Justin was Drew’s date to the Golden Globes and SAG Awards.

3.  Zac Efron and Shia La Beouf apparently have a long-running feud. Who knew? Apparently it all started when they were both up for the lead in “Jumper.” Zac really wanted that part and he felt like Shia sabotaged him with producers, calling Zac a “pretty boy” and bragging that he was a better actor. Both of them ended up losing the part to Hayden Christensen, but Zac never forgave Shia for the diss. And then things got worse when Shia beat out Zac for the role of Indiana Jones’ son in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” And THEN, last summer when Megan Fox was on a break from Brian Austin Green, Zac and Megan had dinner together and a source says Shia was “envious beyond belief.” The source says Shia’s had a crush on her since the first “Transformers” movie in 2006.

2. Jay Leno is gearing up for his big return to “The Tonight Show” on March 1. He’s hoping to get a big boost in the ratings from his March 3 show because of the cast of “Jersey Shore.” They’re all in LA this week to tape their segment, but one guido will be missing. Vinny is sick and won’t be making the trip. While they’re in LA, though, the rest of the gang will stop by Ellen DeGeneres’ show will tape a segment that will air this week.

1. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have slowed things waaaaaaaaaay down. A source who claims to know what’s going on says, “Let’s just say Rob and Kristen got a slap on the wrist…Everyone from their management to the studios involved in their upcoming movies is worried the two of them will become….distracted” from their careers. Rob’s getting ready to start filming “Bel Ami” and Kristen is deciding on new projects while promoting “The Runaways.” Their schedules might end up breaking them up anyway.

Grammy executive producer Ken Ehrlich’s patience is being tested by the stars during rehearsals. He says that some of them are trying to make their acts too over the top and have told him it’s the biggest night of their year and for some, their entire careers. He wouldn’t give away any names, but he said they want to beat past performances by Prince or Paul McCartney. Something Erlich is revealing is the performances! So far here’s the set-list:

• •Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli will join voices on Bridge Over Troubled Water.
• •Jeff Bridges will introduce a Les Paul tribute, How High the Moon, with guitar hero Jeff Beck and rockabilly singer Imelda May.
• •Eminem and Lil Wayne join Drake on his Forever, with Blink-182’s Travis Barker on drums.
• •The Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling will incorporate singalong videos submitted online by fans.
• •Green Day does 21 Guns, sharing the stage with the cast of Broadway’s upcoming American Idiot, based on the trio’s album.
• •Bon Jovi will play a song chosen by fans
• •Country pop trio Lady Antebellum performs Need You Now.
• •Pink tackles Glitter in the Air.

Actor Matthew McConaughey isn’t cutting it for his wannabe mother-in-law. Matthew is clearly committed to his long-time girlfriend Camilla Alves. They even have 2 babies together. However, her mother wants him to put a ring on it. Camila’s mom is very traditional and fears that her daughter will be left out in the cold if Matthew gets tired of her. She has supposedly said, “He wanted to you to carry his babies — he ought to take real responsibility!” If he won’t marry her, Camila’s mom at least wants a signed financial agreement. Matthew isn’t having any of this. He is not only opposed to getting married, but he thinks an agreement for money is completely out of the question. Needless to say, this has caused a serious rift between the couple.

A-Rod is up to bat again and he’s going back to the well. Since breaking up with Kate Hudson, A-Rod has been seen out on the town with various women, but he spent this past weekend at home with MADONNA! Madonna is still seeing Jesus Lutz as far as we know but a source claims that she doesn’t really respect him. When Madonna dates someone who she essentially takes care of, she doesn’t see them as an equal. Friends say that Madonna just can’t be a one-man kinda woman and has kept in touch with A-Rod throughout his relationship with Kate Hudson.

All the sudden when people get uber famous they seem to adopt bizarre accents from a place only  known to them: FamousTown.  What’s with that Madonna?

No, not Brett Favre, although the title could qualify. Not Madonna, who was on Kidd Kraddick In The Morning today.  I’m talking about Jon Gosselin.

I’m so ready for The Green Bay-Minnesota game to be over so we can put to rest all the Favre chatter.  I could literally puke out of my eyeballs if I hear another conversation about it.

Madonna doesn’t seem like much of a diva to me anymore, especially after she insulted Kidd Kraddick this morning in French.  That was actually kind of cool.  Check out the interview.

What I really was tripped out about was to hear that Jon Gosselin cleaned out the joint bank account of $200,000 dollars.  He was kind enough to leave $1,000 for Kate and the 8 kids, but come on.

Are you planning on fleeing the country?  You could live confortably for a year or two, but 200 bills isn’t gonna cover all the running you’ll have to do.  I betcha at least one of those eight kids will make it their life’s goal to seek revenge on the guy who bailed and took the money.   There’s no winning scenario for him.

There was even a  court order that said neither Jon nor Kate could take out big amounts of money so it looks like Jon could be held in contempt.

Funny, I thought everyone holds Jon Gosselin in contempt.

Answer me this:  when do I need to learn who this Lady GaGa character is?
