This seems so unlikely, but this is what's being said!

The mystery is solved: Madonna's brother, Christopher Ciccone, is writing a memoir about his sister, to be released in mid-July by Simon & Schuster with a first printing of 350,000, the publisher told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The publisher had been promoting a celebrity memoir for July, asking bookstores to order copies without identifying the author or contents.

Persuading stores to make "blind" orders has been tried before. In 2006, William Morrow offered a mysterious tell-all that turned out to be by Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell, who had already written about her. Retailers were angered and the book sold poorly.

yeah hard to believe as they're pals again arent they?

Yeah I wasn't aware that they had fallen out. If it's true, it really says a lot about the guy. Imagine being so skanky as to spill secrets about your own sister. To actually betray a close relative like that. Vile.

Ugh

I won't be buying that in the Waterstones 3 for 2

he wouldnt do it. he doesnt need the money he has not actively sought fame before... I believe it's bullshit.

And his dancing skills :wacko:

Ew

I find this all really hard to believe. Though we're all jumping to the conclusion that it's a defamatory memoir when it actual fact it could just be celebrating their work together on BA and GS etc. Who knows until we get something more concrete...?

Well yeah, it might not be a "warts and all" type thing at all. And of course, the whole thing might be bullshit anyway, as Johnno says.

You guys are right!

And just because it might be 'warts and all' doesnt mean it has to be in a negative way, but just from reality you know?

Why did they have a fall out?

He's talentless :closedeyes:

Not true, Bradley. He directed "The Girlie Show" (or was artistic director) and is a very talented interior designer.

You mean like the way Madonna outed him to the world in Truth Or Dare?

I think the world was WAY ahead of her.

Really?

I think he was artistic director for her two best tours...

Me too.

I LOOOVE the Girlie Show

I didnt know people took me that seriously :P

Darling I hang on your every word :drama: :wink:

I HEARD that Madonna cut him out of her life because GUY is HOMOPHOBIC.

In Rupert Everett's biography he said that once Madonna met Guy she stopped associating with gay people (including her brother) as they made him uncomfortable.


And it was in an interview with the Advocate in 1991 that Madonna outed her brother as gay against his will.

if she stopped associating with gays why did she do that huge interview with Attitude?

or Confessions and anything to do with it? that was the gayest thing she's ever done.

He's a video director now, check out his latest uhm work : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VSL9iFY5Y0 :lmao:

Is that Donny Osmond?? :lmao:

Ooh, the plot thickens!! :drama:

From Perez Hilton:

Madonna's Side Of The Story

This is so sad.

A source very close to Madonna reveals exclusively to PerezHilton.com that she is "extremely sad" and "betrayed" by her brother Christopher Ciccone's planned tell-all book about his very famous sister.

"Madonna has helped Christopher since day one of her career," says our Madge insider. "She's put him in a music video, let him direct one of her tours, decorate her homes. She's given him millions of dollars."

M is said to be closest with Christopher than with any of her other siblings, which is why his betrayal is especially painful.

But, as Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg said yesterday, she and her brother are no longer close.

Why is that????

"Christopher's drug and alcohol addiction is to blame," says our very reliable source. "There came a point where his alcohol and drug abuse got out of control and she's had to cut him off. M has offered to pay for rehab and doctors, but he just won't go. The last two years, his addiction has gotten really bad."



Sources tell us that Madonna is certain that her brother is writing this "tell-all" because he needs money.

Says our insider, "Christopher can't get work. He can't function. He's been evicted from his Miami apartment. He's broke. They took away his car. M's even offered to get him a job if he goes to rehab, but he still won't go. She's never give somenoe more chances than Christopher Ciccone."

And, what also concerns Madonna, we're, told is that "Christopher is fabricating lies" and that people will believe him.

Well, we won't believe him!

To betray your own family member like this? Beyond low!

That's so sad! :(

It's very, very sad on so many levels. Poor M.

Also, this might kill the mood but HOLY FUCKING HELL is Christopher ugly. :manson:

That's drink and drugs for you!

*wags finger*

I thought it was martin who was the drunky and druggie?

Oh dear... I was so hoping this wasn't a nasty book. Imagine that - your own BROTHER! Horrible :sadalexz:

Just read this elsewhere:

Christopher Ciccone planning book release party

Probably in NYC. A certain well-known party promoter has been asked to do it but feels slightly uneasy about it.

This is going to be the must-read of the summer!

oh well

what a disturbing situation. of all people, her own brother betraying her in order to raise money for his drug dealers must be quite harsh. shame on him.

Vile.

It's really awful, what an asshole ... can't wait to read it :lol2:

I hope someone uploads it online. There's no way I'll be paying for this shit.
