Madonna's yearbook goes under the hammer

Before she was famous ... Madonna in pal's yearbook that is set for auction k By ELLIE ROSS Published: 23rd May 2012 A SCHOOL yearbook with a picture of MADONNA before she was famous has emerged from one of the star’s former classmates. The snap shows the fresh-faced teen with dark air and Madge’s unmistakeable features. Beneath the photo of the future pop star is her name - Madonna Ciccone.

I think I would like to be president for a longer time. I wouldn't spend as much money for weapons of mass destruction but instead for education and art," Contactmusic quoted her as saying when asked what she would do if she was President of the United States for one day.  Although she has achieved worldwide success, Madonna's ambition and drive has not diminished over the years.  The 53-year-old singer attributes her success to her thirst for reinvention and never taking ''anything for granted".  "It's harder to stay famous than become famous. I don't think there's a rule for that (staying successful). You have to really love what you're doing. "You have to feed your soul with ideas and you're not al...
