Madonna Says Wealth Overrated in New Book

Maybe she should donate to the PURPLEGYPSY fund. neutral

Madonna Says Wealth Overrated in New Book

27 minutes ago Entertainment - AP



LONDON - She is famed for being the Material Girl, but Madonna (news - web sites)'s next book is about how wealth is overrated.


The singer's publisher, Nicholas Callaway, said Wednesday that Madonna will release the illustrated children's book "Lotsa de Casha" next summer.


"All the characters in the book will be animals and Lotsa de Casha is an Italian greyhound who has all the money in the world but no happiness," said Callaway. "He thinks only of himself."


The book will be the last in Madonna's five-book children's series for Callaway Editions.


The millionaire pop star is currently promoting the fourth in the series, "The Adventures of Abdi." The other books are "The English Roses," "Mr. Peabody's Apples," and "Yakov and the Seven Thieves."

Lotsa de Casha? Is this real? And interesting how it's always somebody who wipes their booty with cash to tell you you don't need money to be happy.

I did read "Mr. Peabody's Apples" actually. It was a good fable that teaches children about how gossip and lies said about people can never really be undone. I wasn't surprised it was good. I did chuckle, though, at the thought of my Grandmother being appauled in 1984 that I was watching this girl who was showing her garters on a big wedding cake! The times, they have changed!

The problem with her wealth is she doesn't share it with lazy hamsters like ME.

Madonna has been tripping for some time now. It could be that she actually is conflicted.

I love how the last paragraph of starts with "The millionaire pop star....". I still love you Madonna. You're just misunderstood....and crazy as hell.

How are these kids books doing. I remember there was kind of a buzz around the first and some with the second but then I think people stopped carring. I was sort of tempted to buy the first but was like, "eh". I'll jump through hopes to get a good Madonna album, single or music DVD but a kid's book? I think if Madonna was really interested in children's lit, she should ditch the baby book stuff and write a an actual book, chapters and all.

I'm pretty sure Elton John has actually said that on several occasions.

I am pretty sure Elton John has said EVERYTHING once. Or on several occasions.
Last time he was here he said; "Filthy PIGS!" to all the photographers and then he said; "Gooey, that Gangstafam has the most amazing long legs I have ever seen!" before he was off to the loo to check on his hairline and sniff a mile of coke.
