Christopher Ciccone, younger brother of mega star Madonna, has decided to cash in on his celebrity sibling. His new tell-all book, titled Life With My Sister Madonna, sheds light on the relationship between the Material Girl and husband Guy Ritchie.
According to little bro, the marriage between his sister and Ritchie is sometimes difficult. He indicates that a Kabbalah rabbi is often sent for to mediate between the couple.
Ciccone reports that Guy’s middle class background and tough street kid image are genuine. He says that Madonna likes to spin a tale that she landed in New York City with a pair of ballet shoes and $35 to her name. He said that is pure fabrication and that when she made her way to the big city it was with plenty of money, some good contacts and a support system in place.
Christopher, who once dated Gwyneth Paltrow, says that the full mouth kisses that Madonna is known to share with her BFF are just his sister being provocative in public. He calls that a typical night out with Madge.
Ciccone used to be employed by Madonna to serve as her interior designer and the artistic director on tour. He reports that the relationship soured with his sibling after she hooked up with Ritchie. Ciccone says he made Ritchie uncomfortable, causing Madonna to distance herself from her younger brother. That little fact apparently made it oh so much easier for Ciccone to dredge up a little dirt on his flesh and blood.
We’ve hardly scratched the surface on the dirt being dished. For the full lowdown you’ll want to pick up a copy of Life With My Sister Madonna, which hits newsstands Tuesday, July 15th.
