Here’s the cover graphic for Madonna’s latest album, “Hard Candy” which will soon be available for those who feel compelled to shell out the bucks to buy it.

People magazine says,

“Madonna has already claimed her new album, Hard Candy, will “kick your ass.” Turns out, she wasn’t kidding! Witness the cover of her upcoming album, due April 29, featuring the pop diva sporting, yep, a wrestling belt. Featuring production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Nate “Danja” Hills and an appearance by Justin Timberlake. Madonna’s rep says the album’s “about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness.”

This is just another example of why I pity the offspring of celebrities.  

Madonna obviously has no shame and is so desperate to keep herself in the public eye that she will do anything - including posing for spread shots while wearing cheesy lingerie - without a thought to how her children will interpret such pitiful grasping for youth on their mother’s part in the years to come. 

Gee, do you think she could peddle her music in a more dignified, respectable manner at her advanced age that her children could be proud of?

Probably not. This is Madonna, after all.
