Madonna's Rep: Photog 'Got a Bad Shot'
July 30, 2008 12:08 PM
The material girl's got a bad angle?
Apparently, according to her publicist. Liz Rosenberg is defending Madonna after photos of her looking far less than sexy made the rounds on the Internet earlier this week. Leaving the Kaballah Center in New York last Friday with daughter Lourdes, the normally fresh-faced 49-year-old looked like a gaunt, shriveled shell of her former self.
"I just think the photographer got a bad shot of her or it was touched up to make her look bad," Rosenberg told People magazine. "I saw Madonna two days before at her rehearsal and she looked amazing -- glowing skin and working really hard on her show."
"She may look a little thinner than usual," she added, "but she was dancing and singing better than ever and ate a nice healthy meal."
Rosenberg also shot down speculation that the pop star's less-than-stellar appearance could be due to stress from rumors that her marriage to director Guy Richie is on the rocks over speculation about late-night rendezvous with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.
"She's working hard rehearsing eight hours a day for her tour," Rosenberg said, who went on to call reports that Madonna ghost-wrote parts of her brother's tell-all book "ludicrous."
"If she had anything to do with that book, it would have been better written and more eloquent," she said. "To say Madonna needs publicity is insane. Her ticket sales are amazing. And she's in a great space."
Hopefully, a space with a comfortable bed, personal chef and an eye mask.

Madonna is a human, like the rest of us. Can ANY of us look "perfect" 24/7?
Besides, unlike many of the sleazy girls in the spotlight these days, at least Madonna has some talent!

I think even in those photos she looks GREAT! She is in excellent shape, she looks beautiful without makeup, I see a lot of women 10 years younger that dont look as good as her.

Anybody, even the beautiful and rich and famous can be caught by a photographer in a bizarre pose. I've looked through family photos that somehow managed to combine a blink with a mouth movement caught in a split second that turns a face of a happy, attractive person into Godzilla. Give Madonna a break. (I'm not even a fan of hers, but sheesh!)

Sheila Marikar obviously needs to have her claws trimmed - and I would LOVE to know how many times Ms. Marikar has looked at a photograph of HERself and stated how terrible SHE looks!

Oh so what. So we can't look georgous all the time. She's a great entertainer, love her songs and her daughter is a nice looking kid.

Hey she can't help looking like she just crawled out from under a rock because she probably did.
Posted by: Jack | Jul 30, 2008 1:07:22 PM
This is so stupid. If they caught a male entertainer in a bad photo angle it wouldn't be news.

I don't know about Madonna but her daughter Lourdes is a beauty --really-- is she not a beautiful girl who is going to put mommy to shame one day---

And A-Rod hit that! HA! I would love to hear him getting ridiculed for tagging that! Bad angle or not she looks like something from a Peter Jackson movie.

LOL. What is her personal publicist going to say? She did her job ... misdirected the blame for a bad photo to the photographer and claims her marriage is rock solid and how madonna is working her butt off to put together a show for her fans ... RIGHTTTTTT ... Truth is she just left a Kabbalah brain washing session while seeking answers to a troubled marriage.

Ha! Madonna herself was described as a sleazy and talentless pop-tart way back when she was in the spotlight.

how about the 80's rollerskating tiara on her daughter?
looks like a more interesting story that she is looking to follow in her mother's trend setting footsteps.

Madonna is gorgeous. And she just wasn't wearing any makeup. How pathetic, that this is fodder for "news" and "gossip". But she's loving every minute of it.

Let's see what Sheila looks like without makeup and after a long day. Madonna is still sharp at 49 on stage. I think she is one of the great female singer/entertainers/actresses of our time.

I am sorry, but even when madonna is "fixed up" she is very homely looking. She isnt pretty, she is normal. Anyway, most famous people look very average w/o all the glitz and glamour and retouching...who cares what madonna looks like. I doesnt change my opinion either way. (personally, i dont care for her at all)

She has NEVER been attractive! Trampy, yes! Attractive, hell no!

It's not the photographer's fault. Madonna is fugly! She is very severe looking, not feminine and pretty. She always has a sleazy air about her. Must have something to do with the way she has lead her life.

she looks like the joker w/o the clown makeup. NASTY FACE!!!!! Madonna is UGLY

...and out come the 'don't you DARE say that about Madonna!' techno-dance club crowd...
Posted by: Soldier | Jul 30, 2008 2:36:04 PM
She looks like she's on something. Certainly not the face/physique of a normal 49 year old. And I don't think it's because of a bad angle.
