After a long stay in what many considered to be a glass closet, the now openly gay Anderson Cooper is being honored by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (more commonly known as GLAAD) -- and none other than Madonna.

Personally I don't know why we need a middle man between our photos and our friends and family, but Madonna feels it's a good way to stir up controversy and increase her followers. Since Madonna joined the site a few weeks ago, she has posted pics of her butt, cleavage and a photo of Frida Kahlo, an image that may have raised a red flag over its possibly unauthorized use.

Madonna is stepping up her social media presence. The singer has joined Instagram, signing up on Feb. 10 while the rest of her pop music peers were having a good time at the Grammys. Madge posted some candid shots of herself – wearing a fake mustache, working up a sweat, enjoying a beverage (of the martini sort) and more!

Is Madonna a thief? That claim comes from staffers for Patricia Field, a former costume designer for 'Sex and the City' and 'Ugly Betty.' They charge that black "VOGUE" caps Madonna sold at her recent New York City concerts are reproductions of the ones Field has been selling.

Madonna's MDNA tour is the highest-grossing trek of 2012, so she can pretty much threaten her fans -- who plunked down hard-earned cash on a ticket -- and get away with it.

Madonna had by far the highest-earning concert tour in 2012, raking in more than $228 million from 72 live concerts, according to figures reported by Billboard. The Material Girl's earnings were far ahead of second-place finisher Bruce Springsteen, while Coldplay, Lady Gaga, and the Jay-Z-Kanye West joint tour all placed in the Top 10.

Record sales sure aren't what they used to be -- these days, even a legend like Madonna has a hard time selling half a million copies of her latest album.

Celebrities have come to the rescue of those affected by Hurricane Sandy by donating their time and money, and purchasing belongings to donate to various relief centers.

- Some fans walked out of Madonna's concert stop in New Orleans after Madge said she wanted her fans to vote for Obama.

Madonna had an onstage mishap at her Dallas show on Sunday, Oct. 21. Madge was interacting with the adoring crowd during the smash hit 'Like a Prayer,' kneeling before them while the fans sang louder than she did. When she crouched down to engage the crowd a second time, she lost her footing and fell over. Splat! She gives new meaning to the idea of stop, drop and roll in this giggle-inducing clip

Madonna, Madonna, Madonna. The Material Girl became the target of some serious backlash -- again -- on Thursday night (Oct. 18) at her concert in Colorado when she brandished a gun onstage.

It appears the feud with Lady Gaga and Madonna will go on. Madonna was performing to a sold out crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles earlier this week and while she was performing a medley of "Born This Way" and "Express Yourself." guess what happened?
