Madonna still knows how to call attention to herself. The singer attended the GLAAD Media Awards (March 16) to hand out the Vito Russo Award to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, a move that incensed little monsters ... and she did so while dressed as a Boy Scout.

This was Madge's take on the menswear trend, right? Wrong. She was dressing in drag? Nope. It was her way of speaking to the gay community and addressing the what she feels is the idiocy of the Boy Scouts' gay ban.

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 21:22:30 +0000

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 Jokes About Lady Gaga Rejecting Her Offer to Share the Stage

Amy Sciarretto — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 23:13:48 +0000

Someone won't just let it go. Madonna is milking the Lady Gaga diss train for all it's worth. Madge brought up the Mother Monster -- again! -- at her MDNA tour stop on Nov. 4 in St. Paul, Minn. But rather than referring to Gaga as "reductive" or an imitator, Madge joked that the singer "rejected" her offer to share the stage. Boo hoo. Madge is all butt hurt about being told no.
