What would a Madonna show be without a touch of sacrilege? We hear one of the centerpieces for her “Confessions” tour will be a “disco-fied crucifix,” as one source calls it. While details of the kabbalist’s latest taunt to the Catholic League are shrouded in secrecy, we can tell you Her Madgesty is also hatching another grand entrance. Word is she’ll descend to the stage on a glittering ball covered with diamonds and Swarovski crystals. The ball supposedly costs $10 million and is being constructed in a well-guarded airplane hangar in L.A. “It’ll create a blinding light,” says our snitch. “Like she’s landing on the spaceship from ‘E.T.’”

The superstar was surprisingly beaten to the title of Best Female Artist by American pop star Ashlee Simpson.

Guy Ritchie is planning a men-only holiday with best mate Jason Stratham – further fuelling rumours his marriage to Madonna is on the rocks.
The ‘Lock Stock’ director has asked the actor, who has starred in two of his movies, to jet off to Chicago in May, where they are set to hook up with more friends and have an “action packed” break.
Friends of Guy and Madonna fear the month-long vacation with Kelly Brook’s ex proves all is not well within the Ritchie household.
A source in Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: “Guy is planning to jet off to Chicago with Jason to take out some quality time and discuss future film commitments.”
“They want a real boy’s time of it and will go all out to make sure they have an action-packed holiday.”
The news come a day after Guy’s dad, John, said the couple were only staying together for the sake of their children Rocco, five, and Lourdes, nine.
He said: “It’s the children that will keep them together. The children are everything to them.”
Guy and Madonna are currently enjoying a trip away in Los Angeles with their children.
