News is reporting that Madonna's brother is homeless and living under a bridge. I have not hear the rest of the story yet.

Fuck him!!!!

He's happy to live under the bridge and wants to be left alone... and he said he doesn't give one damn about his sister's money or fame... she can keep it.

God bless and keep that happy bum.

Madonna or her brother?

They talked about this on Stern. I'm sure there's more to the story (and I'm sure we'll be hearing it shortly).

Anyone that has lived with mental illness or drug addiction or loves someone who has, knows that there is way more to this story. I hope it all comes out because I think it will cast light on issues that effect many families.

Oh the brother of course.

Maddy's got it together...she's a freak and probably has an interesting medicine cabinet...but I don't see her snorting coke (anymore).

Is this the same brother who used to work for her as her manager or something? Is his name Richie or Richard?

Which brother is this? She got quite a few right? Family of 8 or something?

I think that is a different brother (who then wrote a tell all book about her). That brother's name I think was Chris. What I did read is that the homeless brother was previously employed by the father at a vineyard.

Yeah, Christopher's the one who wrote the tell-all. Never managed her (did the set design for her tours?).

On the street: Madonna's eldest brother Anthony Ciccone is homeless in Michigan

While Madonna flits between fabulous homes with the African children she rescued from poverty, her own eldest brother is destitute and sleeping rough.

Anthony Ciccone, 55, says he has been living under a river bridge in Michigan for 18 months, his only shelter a sleeping bag and his sole companion another street dweller named Michael.

Mr Ciccone said he had been among the homeless in the ski resort of Traverse City since losing a job at his father’s vineyard and winery six miles away.

‘My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time,’ he said. ‘You think I haven’t answered this question a bazillion times – why my sister is a multi-bazillionaire and I’m homeless on the street? Never say never. This could happen to anybody.’

Mr Ciccone said it made him angry when some thought it funny that the brother of such a famous star should end up living under a bridge.

But while providing him with financial help would barely scratch 53-year-old Madonna’s £400million-plus fortune, he is adamant that he wants none of her money – whether it is offered or not.

‘I’m not looking to get a free handout because of my sister,’ he said. ‘I’m not looking for any publicity.’ He instead relies on the generosity of soup kitchens run by local churches for food.

Mr Ciccone, who claimed he once worked in Alaska’s fishing industry and as a photographer’s assistant in New York, now makes a few dollars doing odd jobs and collecting bottles and cans from people’s dustbins.

Yeah...you would have to ask yourself why a father would fire a son who worked for him. This is not a "laid off due to a bad economy" story.

BTW, Mr Ciccone's wine is fantastic. I had a bottle last year. Madonna's older brother need to get his life together. Man up and leave the drugs alone.

The way his nose and blotchy skin look it appears he has some serious substance issues.

She had a coke habit? Didn't know that.

Never.

Isn't this the same brother who showed up drunk to her hotel in Truth or Dare? He's a total loser with none of Madonna's talent or charisma or intelligence.

I didn't see all of the movie, so I don't know. I don't know a family as of yet that doesnt' have sibling rivalry. The coke habit, I haven't heard of that over the years.

No,it's not that brother

He must be the one on the furthest left. The tallest one looks like Christopher. Maybe we should find out what each of them are doing. They have lived with her fame for the majority of their lives and I wonder how it has effected each of them.
