It has been revealed that Queen of pop Madonna is related to the future Queen, Camilla Parker Bowles.
While reconstructing her family tree Madge discovered that she and Prince Charles’ new wife are distant cousins.
Madge has now asked that Bowles join her to meet with genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner to jointly chart their ancestors.
Reitwiesner told the Daily Star: “Camilla and Madonna are both descended from Zacharie Cloutier who lived from 1617 to 1708.
But Camilla isn’t the only famous person to find they are related to the Queen of pop, Canadian singer Celine Dion is also from the same gene pool.
Reitwiesner continued: “And Camilla and Celine descend from Jean Guyon, who lived from 1619 to 1694.
“Both Jean and Zacharie died in Chateau-Richer, Quebec. Because of their unusual French-Canadian ancestry they are all blood relations. Madonna is absolutely fascinated by this.”?
And so is Camilla by all accounts”

Julia Stiles Lashes Out At ‘Lolita Phenomenon’
The Bourne Identity star Julia Stiles has lashed out at young female stars who use their sexuality to become famous.
The actress insists there is a regression towards a “Lolita phenomenon”, where young women promote themselves as sexy airheads.
She explains, “I grew up with Madonna and other female icons who were sexual, but they owned it, they were in control and they had the brains to back it up.
“Today, pop culture is full of images of young women who are very sexual and provocative, but they’re not the ones in control of their image – they’re just put out there by their handlers for public consumption.
“They’re not really expressing anything; they’re using their ability to turn men on as a way of selling albums or movie tickets.

Madonna has admitted that she wouldn’t have found musical success if she had started out today.
The Material Girl singer believes that she wasn’t skinny enough when she had her first hits in the ’80s, and that she would not be able to compete with today’s stars.
“I would have been too fat,” she is quoted by The Mirror as saying. “When I started out, I was kind of [plump]. I would have had to get anorexia. They would have said: ‘She is way too chubby.’”
