Madge, Come Home!

Filed under: Madonna

wenn5113555.jpg

Madonna's hometown wants her back. They're even going through Poppa Ciccone to get her.

Mayor Charles M. Brunner of Bay City, Michigan, is offering her Madjesty a key to the city, where her father still lives, including her 96 year old grandmother, and other family members.

And included in the festivities, there are plans to recruit local musicians to cover some of her largest hits, and there's even talks about commissioning an artist to make a sculpture of her.

Mayor Brunner has emailed Poppa Ciccone, and is awaiting a response.

But will Madonna accept an offer from a city that's rejected her so many times?????

Back in 1985, then Mayor Timothy G. Sullivan refused to give her a key since she was considered a bit too "risque for such an honor."

Also in the late '80s, city officials refused to accept an Italian sculpture of Madonna, since they believed she would lose her popularity over time.

Someone was wrong!!!!!

City Commissioner Christopher J. Shannon said "Far and wide, she wields significant influence in the arts and entertainment world. For Bay City to turn its back on that, it would be a shame."

She's a legend, bitches.

Respect!

    This was just announced on the news last night, here locally. I was born and raised in Bay City, and I've adored Madonna my whole life. If she does come to Bay City, I'm definitely going there to see her.

    Also, please note, that back in the 80s, when she was going to be presented the keys to the city, she said no, and that "Bay City sticks". And that is what dropped it all together. Bay City does stick… unfortunately - literally because of the sugar beat factories - sticks horribly in the fall!

    By, "too risque", they meant she was a slut! They were soo right. I can't wait to see "4 Minutes (To Save My Career)" by Justin Timberlake Feat Timbaland (and maybe Madonna) performed "live". Madonna is indeed the Queen.. of lipsynching. Bitch has been doing it since the 80's.

    Janet, Madonna.. they all have to run to Mr. Timberlake when their career is dead.. Jeez.. when has Mariah done anything with Justin… Sad.

    Madonna has called Bay City "white trash"- she wants nothing to do with them.

  26. fuck madonna says – reply to this
    26

    Instead of giving her a key to the city, how about they give her a giant lock so they can vault her diseased vagina for all eternity. Either that or a space-ship that would shoot her into the sun. Fuck Madonan and her stupid gay fans. I don't know what's worse, her looks, her music, her acting or her personality. I'd say it's a fourway tie, which isn't probably the first fourway that stupid bitch has been in.

    Perez, STOP calling this BITCH a freaking LEGEND! She is NOT a legend! She is a fraud whose only talent is lip synching in videos AND on stage! She`s done absolutely NOTHING to warrant the kind of attention you constantly give her.

  32. white trash says – reply to this
    32

    Fuck Madonna! She is a blow hard that will do what ever she can to stay in the media including strapping on a strap on to fuck Perez with so she can still be "news". A bunch of teenagers now know her name and all she had to do was butt fuck Perez!

    Legend.. haha… looks more like old skank to me. I can see that they want to do that for her in her hometown. Wonder if she'll snub them? Kinda pathetic that this old tart has to jiggle her ass around with Justin Timberlake now…. give it up woman.. you're 50… it's laughable seeing you with him in that video. There are so many other things you could have done to not look like an old whore trying to be young again.. give it up and have some respect for yourself!

    madonna grew up in rochester MI and went to Rochester Adams high school. she was heavily involved in the dance program and was that "weird chick that didn't shave her armpits" (according to my parents friends who went to school with her). if she should get the key to any city it's rochester…. not bay city.

    shes a hag. and a hack. remember when the bitch tried to rap? its been a long, long time since she made a decent song. how much is the hag-hack paying you to promote her you talentless fuck?

    As someone who lives in Traverse City…I can assure you that Mr. Ciccone (as well as several of Madonna's siblings) live here, not in Bay City. Bay City is about 2 hours south but TC probably isn't going to be jumping on the "keys to the city" honor anytime soon. We've got Michael Moore and Mario Batali who have homes up here too. Madonna never visits TC or Bay City when she comes on tour here anyway…why bother?

    SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT…Madonna was born in Bay City and spent the summers here with her Grandmother. She grew up in Rochester Hills. Her grandmother still lives in Bay City. She said some bad things about our town but it would be cool to have a celeb visit!

    are you sure these facts are right? im from michigan and madonna def is from rodchester. totaly diff area than bay city.

  53. What kind of statue would they have for VADGE? says – reply to this
    53

    Well, if they wanted an accurate depiction of the whore, the statue could have her standing on top of thousands of fans heads, her kids on her hips, handing money to the Malawian goverment for David, a HUGE ass gap-tooth in the front, legs spread, a pile of aborted fetuses below her, and the list goes on. Just make sure to make the statue ugly and to be polluting the earth with her lavish lifestyle.

    They can have her. We don't want her.

    HEY, leave Madonna alone she's my girl. I don't care how old she gets or where she roams, Madonna will always be the gold standard. So all you Britney, Hillary, Rihanna peeks should just STFU and go to the mall. I hear the Jonas Bros. album is on sale.

    Perez' numbers (posts) are getting fewer and fewer. The fad is dying. He keeps digging up the old cow cause people who hate her will post. Madonna is an Eighties act and now that she is in her 80's no one cares.
