Gossip: Madonna
Madonna has given her rebellious teenage daughter a consolation gift.
Madonna has given her rebellious teenage daughter a consolation gift, said the Daily Star (U.K.). The pop superstar bought Lourdes Ciccone her own apartment for her 16th birthday, after the teen allegedly fell out with her mother over her constant touring. But Lourdes’s new Manhattan pad should keep her happy—it has access to a swimming pool, a gym, and the nearby Kabbalah center. Madonna had other problems this week, said HuffingtonPost.com. At a Louisiana concert, fans booed after she encouraged the crowd to vote for President Obama.
