Madonna

Pop icon Madonna said she felt "raped" by an in-depth profile of her in The New York Times, calling the newspaper "one of the founding fathers of the patriarchy."    

Pop superstar Madonna on May 14 explained her decision to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest in Israel this week, saying that she will always speak up to defend human rights and hopes to see "a new path toward peace."

The art gallery in Kyustendil has displayed another painting by the great Bulgarian artist Vladimir Dimitrov - Maistora (the Master). The owner of the work decided to donate it to the gallery to protect the art work from thieves who had recently tried to steal it from his home.

From a career spanning decades, these are just a few of her most inconic, her most controversial and her most inventive moments.

Battling ageism

Madonna has delighted her fans by sharing a rare photo of her family all together as she celebrates her 59th birthday! The world-famous singer took to her Instagram page on Saturday to post an adorable snap from her gypsy-themed birthday celebrations in Italy.

Madonna has never been one to hold her tongue when it comes to her opinion. The same can be said for her physical appearance, which, since she became a pop icon in the 1980s, has been the subject of countless media controversies. This continued on Saturday, May 6th, as the 58 year-old singer (born Madonna Louise Ciccone) posted a couple of revealing photos of herself on her Instagram account.

Unfortunately, we have a huge problem as a country. It has reached chronic levels. This problem is that nobody ever says, "I don't know this." Whatever the topic, we answer every question that comes along, whether or not we know the answer. 

Since it is the hottest topic nowadays, how about a different and more realistic approach to the novel "Madonna in a Fur Coat" gaffe? It was during an entertainment show when the host thought Sabahattin Ali's book was about the life of pop star Madonna, triggering a storm of social media reactions.
