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!
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.
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.
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.

The rivalry between Lady Gaga and Madonna, which was started, stoked and supported by Madonna with her near-constant onstage disses of Gaga, nearly came to an end in the Bronx last month. Rumor has it that Madonna extended an olive branch and offered native New Yorker (and Yankee fan) Gaga a chance to duet onstage when Madge played Yankee Stadium. Gaga turned her down, though!
In news that should inspire icicles to form in Hades, Madonna has reportedly made up with Elton John — for real, this time.
