Madonna’s plan was “to rule the world,” when she spoke to Dick Clark on American Bandstand. The then-80s singer was decked out in her black lace best and still singing songs like “Borderline” at the time. How were we to know she would become one of the world’s biggest stars, winning accolades in not just the music industry but movies as well? Irreverent and irrepressible, Madonna quickly became the queen of pop.

It was only a matter of time before somebody released a tell-all book detailing her exploits. I just thought it would be Sean Penn.

The pop princess comes from a large family (she has five brothers and sisters) and was originally born in Detroit. Her career rocketed her to success in the early 80s and she’s never looked back. But…what about those she’s left behind? The songstress’s brother Christopher Ciccone, who is reportedly estranged from the singer, is set to release his novel “Life With My Sister Madonna.” It’s available in stores next week.

This unauthorized biography of the Material Girl’s life will delve into her relationship with Guy Ritchie (one of her husbands) and alleged drug abuse. The tome is said to also chronicle lesbian love flings and behind-the-scenes info on her marriage to current hubby

Guy Ritchie.

Ciccone will also be launching a promotional tour for the book which will take him to Good Morning America among other television programs.

Really, is this shocking? After seeing Madonna kiss pop tarts Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on stage, the release of her highly controversial book Sex, and let’s not forget the crazy fashion choices associated with her “Blonde Ambition” tour, can a tell-all really make us wince? Do we really care what’s behind her split from Guy Ritchie (which the book alleges stemmed from arguments about where to raise the couple’s children - wow, how scandalous) or that she might have once kissed actress Gwyneth Paltrow in an LA club? At this point, I don’t think Madonna could do anything else to make the world break out in a nervous sweat.
