| The man who registered the domain name madonna.com wanted to give it to a group of nuns in Lincoln, Nebraska. Madonna sued and won control of the name. |
| In 1979, she was the drummer for the band The Breakfast Club. It was her boyfriend's band, and he got her in. |
| She has been in the movies Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, A League Of Their Own, Shanghai Surprise, Body Of Evidence, Dangerous Game, Swept Away, and Evita. |
| She has 4 brothers and 3 sisters. Madonna was the oldest girl, and had to change a lot of diapers growing up. |
| Her mother died of breast cancer when she was 5. Her father later married the housekeeper and insisted that the kids call her "Mom." Madonna refused. |
| After attending Catholic school, she went to The University of Michigan - Ann Arbor on a dance scholarship. She stayed only 1 semester before leaving to pursue her dream in New York City. |
| Madonna's full birth name is Madonna Louise Ciccone ("Veronica" was added when she was confirmed in the Catholic Church). Madonna's surname, Ciccone, is very close to the insulting Italian word for "fat man" (ciccione). Her father is Italian, her mother was French-Canadian. (thanks, Britney - Calabasas, CA) |
| When asked what she would be if she wasn't a rock star, her answer was, "A Nun." |
| In 2001, a company called Condomania released a Madonna condom, with photos of her as a young dancer on the package. |
| In 2007, she left the Warner Music Group, where she had released all of her albums over the past 25 years, and signed a comprehensive deal with Live Nation, who became responsible for marketing all of her music and music-related business over the next 10 years. This became know in the industry as a "360 deal," as it became clear that selling music was just one aspect of marketing an artist. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France) |

| I love Madonna. She's talented, amazing dancer, great singer and does a lot of good. I know she done some crazy things and she might not always write her own songs. But she isn't perfect. Atleast she ain't copying anyone.
