Madonna celebrates father Silvio Ciccone's 94th birthday
Madonna has marked her father Silvio Ciccone's 94th birthday with a heartfelt message. Taking to X on Tuesday, the Material Girl hitmaker shared a photo of her dad eating a piece of cake while surrounded by balloons and a silver cutout of the number "94". In the accompanying message, Madonna insisted Silvio is still "going strong". "Happy Birthday to my Father. Silvio Ciccone, 94 and going strong!! He has survived many wars and many losses in his life and he still has a sense of humor and a strong desire to get out of bed every morning and make the most of his day," she wrote. "Whenever people ask my father when he's going to retire, his answer is always the same. 'I'm going to go until the wheels fall off!!' S.A.M.E." In addition, Madonna posted a montage of photos of her father and other family members, including several of her six children, on Instagram. Reflecting further, the Queen of Pop begged fans to spend time with the more mature people in their lives. "It's a shame we do not live in a world that celebrates knowledge and experience and the wisdom that we can only learn from our elders who have survived for many decades on this planet. We are fixated on youth and physical beauty that ironically teaches us nothing and gives us only momentary gratification," the 66-year-old continued. "Good job, Dad!! I'm proud of you and I know Mom is smiling and happy wherever she is. Thank you for giving me your zero F**KS mentality!" Madonna's mother, also named Madonna Louise Ciccone, died of breast cancer in 1963.

Madonna, 66, seems to have gotten rid of her 'fillers' as she has a more natural glow when leaving an art gallery
Madonna looked absolutely lovely as she left an art gallery in New York City. The 66-year-old Material Girl was not able to use any of the filters she has on her social media portraits as she was caught on the town. But it did not matter, she still looked youthful with a glow. The Borderline singer wore an all black ensemble with black eyeglasses and red lipstick. The star has been accused of doing too many fillers over the years and now those seem to be gone. Fans have questioned Madge's overinflated cheeks and lips as she looks nothing like the did in her Desperately Seeking Susan days. But at the Met Gala in NYC on May 5, she did not looked plumped up. The Holiday singer debuted her new look at the 2025 Met Gala where she showed off a stunning unfiltered look as she wowed in a cream silk Tom Ford suit, designed by Haider Ackermann. Sticking to the event's Tailored for You dress code, the iconic music artist displayed her interpretation in a double-breasted jacket, white shirt, cummerbund and bowtie. The androgynous look was paired with a bold fuchsia lip and smoky eyeliner, while the star puffed on a cigar. The star's un-airbrushed look on the red carpet was welcomed by fans who proclaimed her as the 'GOAT' and 'mother.' The new sighting comes after Madonna's ex-husband Sean Penn, 64, reacted to her saying he is the love of her life on the Louis Theroux Podcast where he slammed their four year marriage. Sean and Madonna tied the knot in 1985, starting a rollercoaster marriage in which she filed for divorce in 1987, reconciled with him, then left him for good in 1989. Two years later in 1991 Madonna's documentary titled Truth Or Dare was released as she referred to the actor as 'the love of her life.' Louis asked Sean if he had seen the documentary and if he recalled that specific quote to which the actor responded that he did. For years, fans have questioned Madge's overinflated cheeks and lips and rightfully stated that she looks nothing like the did in her Desperately Seeking Susan days. Seen here at the 2025 Met Gala And it's not just age that had her looking like a completely different person – as evidenced in the new pics where the La Isla Bonita singer looks exactly like herself. The Fast Times At Ridgemont High actor said: 'I do. I remember what she said. She's very sweet. Look, she's been a good friend for a lot of years.' Sean then went on to trash their marriage while revealing that they were able to resume their friendship relatively quickly. The actor explained: 'It didn't take us long to realize that we had mistaken a good first date for a wedding partner. It didn't take us long to recover after we got divorced, maybe a year, in a friendship. 'I have a lot of fond memories of it – it's not all jail. But there was a lot of alcohol and she'd be fairly accusing me of that.' In June 2024, Sean once again denied the wild rumor that he physically abused his ex-wife Madonna, insisting: 'She's someone I love.' During their turbulent marriage in the 1980s, sensational claims surfaced that he tied her to a chair on one occasion and struck her with a baseball bat on another. Both Madonna and Sean have staunchly denied he was ever violent with her, and she even testified on his behalf in a defamation lawsuit over the allegations. At the time, Sean cleared the air on the issue again - while admitting one of their marital squabbles resulted in a SWAT team arriving at their home. He and Madonna now enjoy an amicable rapport, partly because, he said: 'It turns out it's a lot quicker to repair a friendship after divorce if there are not kids involved.' In 2015, Madonna testified that Sean never abused her, supporting his $10 million defamation lawsuit against Empire creator Lee Daniels. The fracas began after Empire star Terrance Howard admitted in an interview that he had slapped his wife in front of their children. Amid the explosive controversy that resulted, Lee sprang to Terrance's defense, arguing that he had never done what 'Marlon Brando or Sean Penn' did. Sean sued Lee over the remark and Madonna submitted an affidavit on his behalf, specifically denying the allegations about the baseball bat and being tied up. 'While we certainly had more than one heated argument during our marriage, Sean has never struck me, "tied me up" or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious, reckless and false,' she asserted. The lawsuit eventually ended with a settlement, in which Lee was forced to issue a public apology for his original comments and also had to make a donation to Sean's disaster relief organization CORE.

Madonna biographical series in the works
Listen to article Madonna is bringing her life's story to the screen via Netflix. As per Deadline, the popstar has partnered with the streamer to develop a biographical limited series. Madonna and Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy have boarded the project as executive producers. Deadline reported that the upcoming project has no relation to the Madonna biopic starring Julia Garner that was previously in the works at Universal. It has yet to be confirmed which period of the Material Girl singer's life the limited series will focus on. Garner, who joined the popstar on stage at the Celebration Tour in December 2023, is still rumoured to play Madonna in the new project. Although it is difficult to tell at this stage whether the Frozen singer will be involved in penning the screenplay, she did co-write the proposed feature. "I want to convey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer – a human being, trying to make her way in this world," she said in 2020 when the Universal feature was announced. The film, which was put on hold in 2023 due to the singer's world tour, was to follow the early life of the Queen of Pop. As per Variety, actors vying for the role included Florence Pugh, Alexa Demie, and Odessa Young, with singers Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira also on the list of contenders. The audition process was said to be "grueling", as the music-heavy production required an actor who could sing and dance. "The focus of this film will always be music," Madonna said. "Music has kept me going and art has kept me alive. There are so many untold and inspiring stories, and who better to tell it than me? It's essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision."

Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney pushes Versace apparel in social media posts
Dylan Mulvaney has been promoting luxury clothing brand Versace in social media posts, roughly two years after the transgender influencer's controversial partnership with Bud Light financially hurt the brand. 'I think this is the best I ever looked, I'm pretty sure,' Mulvaney said while twirling in a black Versace dress in a video posted to social media on May 5. Advertisement Mulvaney wore the dress to a star-studded launch party for Versace's new La Vacanza collection in New York City on May 3. The influencer also posted photos posing next to actress Anne Hathaway and tagged Versace. In another video post, Mulvaney posed in the same dress while Madonna's 'Material Girl' played in the background. The influencer lip-synced to a clip of Fran Drescher's character from 'The Nanny' saying, 'This is the one I always pull out when my relationships start to get a little serious.' Advertisement 5 Dylan Mulvaney wears a Versace dress in a series of social media posts sporting the company's new La Vacanza collection. @dylanmulvaney/Instagram 5 Mulvaney smiles and spins posing in the collection ensemble. @dylanmulvaney/Instagram It is unclear what, if any, official relationship Versace has with Mulvaney, who has millions of followers across such social media platforms as TikTok and Instagram. The social media videos drew attention after the luxury Italian brand revealed in February it had experienced a 15% drop in global sales in its third quarter. Advertisement In a company earnings call in February, John Idol, CEO of Capri Holdings, Versace's parent company, blamed the tanking sales on the company leaning too much into the 'quiet luxury trend' and reducing its number of entry-level-priced merchandise, Business Insider reported. 5 Mulvaney shows off the details of the dress worn for the launch party in New York City on May 3, 2025. @dylanmulvaney/Instagram 5 In another video post, Mulvaney posed in the same dress while Madonna's 'Material Girl' played in the background. @dylanmulvaney/Instagram In 2025, Idol said, Versace would instead try to achieve 'the ideal balance of fun and elegant assortment' and introduce a 'wider offering of product to appeal to a broader base of luxury consumers.'

Two years ago, Mulvaney partnered with Bud Light for a March Madness social media promotion that proved to be disastrous for the company. 5 Mulvaney drinks from a customized Bud Light can during the controversial campaign featuring the trans influencer in 2023. Dylan Mulvaney/Instagram The beer brand celebrated the influencer identifying as a woman for a full year by sending personalized packs of Bud Light decorated with Mulvaney's face. The social media videos spurred an angry reaction from conservatives and beer loyalists who felt the classic American brand was abandoning its customer base in favor of far-left identity politics. By May, the beer company had experienced a nearly 30% drop in sales and $27 billion decline in its market value. Former Anheuser-Busch President of Operations Anson Frericks remarked in February that the brand has yet to fully recover, though Bud Light has been making efforts to win back customers.
