Madonna has issued an apology after she referred to her 13-year-old son, Rocco, as the N-word in a photo she posted on Instagram earlier this month.

Dang, that was quick. Madonna has already moved on from her much-younger BF Brahim Zaibat, with whom she split late last year. She is said to be dating the also young backup dancer Timor Steffens, who is all of 26.

Even Queens get insecure. Queen Bey herself, Beyonce, admitted that she channeled the Queen of Pop, Madonna, for her new release.

'The Barry Gibb Talk Show' is one of the best recurring skits on 'SNL,' with Jimmy Fallon playing the bipolar Barry Gibb, who alternates between breaking out into falsetto and losing his mind on his guests if they open their mouths to talk, much less disagree with him.

Lady Gaga addressed her "feud" -- we're not sure what state things are in at this point, after the reductive thing, Madge mashing up 'Born This Way' with 'Express Yourself' during her live shows on the MDNA tour as if to say, "Look how similar her new song is to my old song" and that whole Yankee Stadium invite -- with Madonna in her Attitude magazine cover.

Madonna has been through a lot in her three decades in the music business, but she went through something even scarier before she was famous. The Queen of Pop is a rape survivor.

She may be the reigning Queen of Pop, but this year, Madonna holds dominion over all the other celebrities of the world, coming in above directing powerhouse Steven Spielberg and the creator of a million reality singing competitions, Simon Cowell.

A group of exorcists in Poland are meeting up to discuss the damage Madge has done to the moral fibers of her fans. No word on whether or not they deem Linda Blair or those priests who touch kids are evil

The worst kept secret in fashion, as related to pop music, has been confirmed. The infinitely street stylish Rita Ora is the new face of Madonna's Material Girl line, the Macy's exclusive, juniors range that she co-designs with teen daughter Lourdes aka Lola.

Malawi is Madonna's cause celebre. The singer has done a lot for the country, adopting two children from the region and building schools there. At least that's the media spin, since the country's president Joyce Banda has slammed the Material Girl after her visit to the impoverished nation and it seems to be a personal beef.

When she said she was a material girl, she meant it -- Madonna's net worth has expanded another decimal point, and she's now officially entered billionaire territory.

Madonna honored longtime pal and recently out Anderson Cooper at the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards -- but of course, it wouldn't be Madonna if she didn't get herself some media attention of her own at the same time. The 'MDNA' songstress took to the stage in a Boy Scouts uniform as she presented the award to Cooper, making a bold, cheeky and rather admirable statement about the Boy Scouts of America's l
