On her 65th birthday, Madonna stirred up controversy by sharing a video of her celebration, showcasing a vibrant Sicilian vacation.
The iconic singer, renowned for hits like "Holiday," "Like A Virgin," and "Frozen," posted the video on Instagram for her 18.4 million followers. Dressed in a blue summer outfit, Madonna danced and enjoyed the festivities with her manager, Guy Oseary, and two women, whom she affectionately referred to as her "side bitches."
In the video caption, Madonna playfully noted, "Birthday kisses with my side bitches," as she was seen kissing two women in the back of a car. The celebration featured the singer in a striking blue and white dress, displaying her blonde and white hair. The festivities included outdoor scenes, twirling inside a house, and posing with a curtain for added flair.
The controversial posts followed a series of racy snapshots a day earlier, where Madonna asked her fans to send her birthday gifts. In one daring photo, the Queen of Pop raised her blouse to reveal a black lace bra adorned with diamond chains. Each Instagram Story post cheekily demanded, "It's almost my birthday...Send me gifts...".
Beyond the birthday celebration, Madonna recently explained her decision to personally oversee her upcoming biopic, citing the influence of "misogynistic men" attempting to create movies about her life. She expressed her determination to tell her own story, stating, "I've had an extraordinary life; I have to make an extraordinary movie." Madonna acknowledged the preemptive move to take control of her narrative amid attempts by others to portray her story.
Opening up about the biopic, Madonna shared her commitment to the project, despite the challenges, stating, "I've been cutting back, but it's like cutting off my limbs." While rumors circulate that "Inventing Anna" star Julia Garner may portray her in the film, nothing has been officially confirmed.
