Did Madonna Write Her Brother's Book!?

Madonna

Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, has written a tell-all book called Life With My Sister Madonna (pictured below). It’s about the Battle of Gettysburg and its ramifications on the Civil War. No, wait, it’s about Madonna. Sorry, I got confused.

Anyway, it wouldn’t be a Madonna story without a scandal, and today’s scandal is that Madonna ghostwrote parts of her brother’s book. A Page Six source says that Christopher is very harsh when talking about other people in the book, but goes easy on Madonna, hence the suspicion that Madonna was heavily involved. The source says:

She actually ghost-wrote parts of it with him, the way Princess Diana helped Andrew Morton write his book on her. That's why there's nothing too devastating in Chris's book. He's mean to others, but not so much to his sister."

Woah, hold up. Just because a guy is nice to his sister doesn’t mean it’s a conspiracy. I mean, true, when I wrote a book about my sister, I referred to her as “a washed-up 2-dollar prostitute who no respectable person could ever love.” Actually that was the title. But hey, she stole a Ken Griffey baseball card from me when we I was 6, what was I supposed to do?

However, even if Madonna did write part of the book, I don’t see the big deal. I ghostwrote half of my own biography, and I don’t think it affected the credibility of the work whatsoever. You can check it out for yourself if you want. The book is called “The Greatest Human That Ever Lived,” available now on Amazon.com and in bookstores everywhere.
