If you are old enough to remember when Madonna got pregnant the first time around you probably remember her seeking out the perfect specimen that would, for all genetical purposes, be the impeccable father of her first child.

Carlos Leon was that man. But what is Lourdes’ father like, and what does he have to say about all the recent controversy surrounding Madonna?

He says of his 11-year-old daughter, “She’s at that point where she can call me and say, ‘Hey Dad, what’s up? What time are you going to get me?’ It’s really cool. We talk every day.”

He hints that Madonna is the disciplinarian of the two. “It’s hard for me to be the tough guy with my daughter. Maybe I should work on the discipline stuff, but I could leave her mother to do that!”

He adds that they must be doing something right because Lourdes is growing into a beautiful young lady. “Look at me and the way I live: I ride my bicycle, I walk, I don’t have a driver. That’s how I keep her grounded. Her mom does a good job too – she’s not that person that everyone thinks. She’s very laidback and cool.”

When asked what his opinion is of the whole Madonna Alex Rodriguez scandal he says confidently, “Trust me, that’s a lie. I know for a fact, she wouldn’t do that.”

A cameraman is claiming that he has a sex tape of Madonna and Alex Rodriguez.

The man says that the footage was taped with a hidden camera in the apartment that the couple used for their sex romps.

The apartment is owned by a Kabbalah friend of Madge’s and was reportedly shot two months ago.

The man who claims to have the video says that once he found out the pair were meeting there, he installed a secret camera that he aimed at the couch.

Apparently the two were caught getting down and dirty.

However, if his claims are true, he may be at risk of facing criminal charges.

One legal expert stated,

“If footage was obtained in this way it would be an outrageous invasion of privacy. But more than that he would not have had his friend’s consent to install the camera and must have entered the apartment without approval to hide it. That is burglary. He would be prima facie guilty of voyeurism. Instead of making a million he’d be going to jail for a few years.”

Madonna still claims that she and Rodriguez are merely friends.

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.”

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.
