Madonna has changed her name to Esther - http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Musi...eut/index.html.. .From the article:

"The 45-year-old mother of two also insisted that despite her celebrated MTV awards kiss with Britney Spears, she has moved beyond the raunchy pop vixen image first cultivated two decades ago in such music-video hits as "Like a Virgin" and "Material Girl."..."I did spend, you know, at least a decade taking my clothes off and being photographed, saying bad words on TV, and, you know, that sort of thing," she told ABC's Cynthia McFadden. "I don't regret it, but it's just ... I mean everybody takes their clothes off now. And then what? You know? And -- and then what?"

Um..."moving on" from the "raunchy pop vixem" image is probably a good idea for an over-45 year old woman. Who the hell would pay to buy a porno book of her nekkid at 45. Yeah I know how women over 40 are still supposed to be "hot" and all but that's a crock of shit when it comes to the kind of sexuality Madonna relied on during her career. There are plenty of appealing older actresses out there and I know plenty a man who'd roll in the hay with them. But Madonna shouldn't pretend she's changing her image b/c of Kabbalah; she's changing it because the sight of a 45 year old woman grunting and masturbating on stage just aint pretty.
