    Madonna's friends fear brother's brutal bio book

    June 12, 10:09 AM
    by Liz Barrett, Celebrity News Examiner
     
     


    It's all over the media. Madonna's brother, Christopher Ciccone, who had a major falling out with Her Madgesty after she hooked up with hubbie Guy Ritchie, has written a tell-all bio that is rumored to be brutal — and her friends are more than a little worried.

    "We'd heard rumors, but didn't realize he'd actually written it," a close friend told the Post. "He was there through the crazy years and has many stories to tell, I'm sure. He's seen it all. Oh, my."

    Oh my, is right. Just when Madonna is rumored to be divorcing Ritchie and trying to keep things amicable so soon after adoption issues she faced with two-year-old David Banda (from Malawi), the book could open a nasty Pandora's box for Mama Madge.

    Simon & Schuster plans to have the book on the shelves next month. See you at the bookstore.
