Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone is out promoting his new book, My Life with Madonna, in which he goes public about his sister’s secrets.

In the interview he discusses the latest scandal involving Alex Rodriguez, Madonna’s relationship with Kabbalah, Guy Ritchie and the marriage and other juicy tidbits.

Ciccone surprisingly says that he doesn’t think that Madge and A-Rod are having an affair. He actually believes that Alex simply wanted to learn more about Kabbalah.

He goes on to describe Madonna when she was a child, saying she was ‘determined’. We get to see photos of a young Madonna, who was an absolutely adorable kid.

Christopher recalls the times when he and his sister were very close, saying they worked together and they lived together until Guy Ritchie came into her life. He says cattily,

He also accuses Guy of being homophobic. When asked to elaborate Christopher says, “He does [have a problem with gays], and he certainly has a problem with me.”

Check out the video for more from Christopher.

Britney Spears started work on her new video segment that will appear at the beginning of every show in Madonna’s upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour.

Shooting for the short movie started yesterday in WeHo where Britney arrived at about 9am and remained for a most of the day. Sources say she was very professional and courteous.

The film itself sounds pretty whacked - but that’s Britney, I guess. It’s described as Britney entering an elevator wearing a gray hoodie that hides most of her face. She is obviously anxious and fidgety. The elevator goes up and so does Britney’s anxiety level. She begins pacing frantically. Her mania continues to build until she is violently kicking and hitting the walls. Then she pulls her hoodie down and screams into the camera… can you guess …?

“It’s Britney, bitch.”

Is that it?

Oooh…ahhh!

Whatever. Don’t you think Britney would want to move on from that f*cked up time in her life? Sounds like they have her bouncing off of rubber walls!

In Christopher Ciccone’s new tell-all book about sister Madonna, (Life With My Sister Madonna), he says the Queen of pop loves no one more than she loves herself.

Ciccone, 47, touches on the controversy surrounding Madge and Guy Ritchie’s marriage being on the rocks, and says that he believes she really does love Guy - just not more than she loves herself and her career.  He adds that he thinks the couple is doing everything they can to stay together and that includes practicing Kabbalah.

I love this quote by Ciccone, “I hope that it is Kabbalah’s lesson that she is not the center of the universe.”

Ha!

He also dished about Madge’s sex life saying that she lost her virginity to some dude named Russell, and he talks about his sister’s exes, Sean Penn and Warren Beatty.

More claims include Bruce Willis being a skirt chaser, even when married to Demi Moore, that Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow made out once on a New Years Eve and that same night he says he and Guy got into a ’shoving match’.  Christopher is quite convinced that Guy is a homophobe.

Madonna used to be close with her brother.  He worked on a couple tours with her in the early 90s serving as artistic director.  But he says they have no relationship these days.

The 342-page book book is set to hit stores next Tuesday.

Britney Spears is set to make an appearance during Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour.

Although the pop princess won’t actually be performing onstage with Madge, she will be taping a segment that will be shown during Madonna’s performances.

Madonna’s spokesperson, Liz Rosenberg, said, “Britney is going to film something for Madonna’s show in the next week or so.” She adds that Britney has not filmed anything yet nor does she know where it will be filmed. The tour starts in Wales next month.

“My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study.

I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously. I also appreciate how fiction and fact seem to be perceived as one and the same by people who read both newspapers and the Internet.”

- Madonna is still adamantly denying that she and husband Guy Ritchie are splitting up

So no wonder Madonna went to a NY Yankee game . . I thought that was weird.

Apparently Madonna and Alex Rodriguez have totally hooked up at her Central Park West apartment. Both parties are married. And it’s not happened once . . but multiple times in recent days.

A source told Us Weekly that Alex has been seen sneaking out of her building “as late as midnight.” And that, “All the doormen are talking.”

Poor Guy Ritchie just landed in NY yesterday, probably hoping to see his wife and kids and ta-da! He’s stepping into this huge pile almost immediately. I bet he won’t be in NY long.

Madonna attended a Yankee game on June 22nd and sat in A-Rod’s seats. Alex attended her concert in NYC on April 30th - I’m sure his seats were pretty good, too.

Madonna even bought her son Rocco, 7, some Yankees gear that he was seen rocking in Central Park last week. Ouch . . looking back, that one will sting daddy.

Rodriguez is known for being a total douchebag when it comes to women. I have told you all in the past that while working as a bartender we had to deal with him up here in Seattle. He’s a total man-whore! I cannot stand this asshole. I’ll just say that I was happy when Texas, then NY took him.

Fellow dickhead Jose Canseco (who also stuck it to Madge) said in his book that he “hates [A-Rod's] guts,” because he hit on his wife. Not surprising. A-Rod hits on everyone!

I thought for sure after Alex was caught running around with a stripper behind his wife’s back that she would dump his sorry ass - but no. She’s not too smart, obviously. She not only took him back, she got pregnant, again, and had another kid.

Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice shame on me.

Will Cynthia Rodriguez take him back, again? Will Madge and A-Rod become an item or will it be a fling? What will become of the divorce? The kids?

Egad.

Seems like a lot of hassle for a piece of trim.

Madonna and husband of seven years Guy Ritchie are getting a divorce, right?

No so, says Ritchie’s mother, Lady Amber Leighton.

“There’s no conversation about divorce because there is no divorce,” she said.

Rumors have been spreading like wildfire about the couple. It’s been reported that Madge met with super high powered attorney Fiona Shackleton last week, and she was spotted out without her wedding ring this weekend.

Lady Leighton says she wanted to set the record straight because all the media speculation has “pained her”.

“They are no different to most other couples and we all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses. I’ll say it one more time, they are not getting divorced; the speculation is TT – that’s total tosh.”

She added that Guy was on his way to New York to spend time with his wife. Guy was indeed photographed at the airport in London on his way to New York, but he too, had no ring.
