Madonna avoids a drenching in splash tank on Ellen DeGeneres Show... as she volunteers son Rocco instead


Queens of Pop and water tanks don't exactly mix.
So rather than getting doused in water herself during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Madonna enlisted the services of her son instead.
The Turn Up The Radio hitmaker is seen here in a sneak peek of the episode, set to air on Monday, in which she appeared with 12-year-old Rocco, whose father is her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

Madonna Sends Her Son Rocco to the Splash Tank on Ellen
In you go: Madonna sent her son Rocco to the splash tank on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, with the episode set to air in full on Monday

Doused: Rocco sits in the tank as he gets drenched in water - helping to raise $10,000 for breast cancer awareness
When asked by the host who she wanted to dunk in the 'splash tank' she immediately responded: 'I don't have to think about it. My son is here and I want him in that tank.'
The youngster was covered in a few gallons of water but the prank certainly paid off, as it was done to raise $10,000 for breast cancer awareness.
Despite Madonna, 54, giving her son the opportunity to dance on stage and DJ during her MDNA tour, he revealed to Ellen his pop star mother is actually a strict parent.

Rocco said: 'She's a good mother. Yes. That's all I have to say. She's very strict but in a good way.'
When probed by Ellen on whether he had seen his mother's more risque dance routines, Rocco sheepishly replied: 'I actually don't see that.'
Madonna's 16-year-old daughter Lourdes recently revealed she has been a part of her superstar mother's world tour - she has a job folding her knickers backstage.

Lourdes wrote on her blog: 'This summer I was surprisingly productive. So, I thought I would tell you all about the joys of folding underwear. 
'As you probably know this woman I like to call my mother went on tour for her MDNA album. 
'As a summer job I decided to work in the wardrobe department. All of my friends were getting summer jobs and I wanted one too.'

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy  publishes nude photos of  Madonna  taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star,  Playboy  publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner  Vanessa Williams , which their rival  Penthouse  published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,&q
