All Madonna fans can now give their frantically anticipating minds a rest – a book, by Madonna’s nanny, named Live to Tell, has been turned down by Crown Publishing.
Melissa Dumas, who claims to be Madge’s former nanny, had brought out a memoir of the singer’s life and had threatened to spill all about the Ritchie household. Obviously, the babysitter had crossed the borderline and had displeased the singer enough for her to put her lawyers into action. Although Crown remains mum on the sudden change of decision, rumors abound that it was Madge’s lawyers who pressurized the company into turning their back to the deal.
The book, which apparently contained confessions on various aspects of Madonna’s life from her commitment to Kabbalah to the controversial adoption of her son David from Malawi, was reported to have been sold to Crown for a phenomenal $5 million.
Agent Sharlene Martin said in a terse statement that she deeply regrets that ‘Crown decided not to move forward in publishing (the nanny’s) book,’ but refused to answer any further questions on the issue.
There hasn’t been any word from Madonna’s agents either or her so-called mouthpiece, Liz Rosenberg, over the reason for squashing the nanny book. However, Madonna hasn’t taken too kindly in the past for similar tell-all ventures and it is no surprise that Dumas’ book was torn apart before a single word was printed. Small wonder that Madonna is called Her Madgesty by her fans – what the Queen disapproves, no other can dare approve.
