Front and back shots of Christopher Ciccone's \"Life With My Sister Madonna\"\u003cbr/\u003eA memoir by Madonna's brother says the singer really does love her husband, director Guy Ritchie, but, apparently, not as much as she loves her career and herself.\u003cbr/\u003e47-year old Christopher Ciccone, worked often with his older sister, designing and directing her 'Girlie Show' tour in 1993 and serving as artistic director of her 1991 documentary, 'Madonna: Truth or Dare.' But in his book, he says they are no longer close.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 342-page book arrives at a time when Madonna has been linked to the breakup of the marriage between New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and his wife, Cynthia Rodriguez, who filed for divorce Monday.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to her brother, she and Ritchie love each other, despite rumours that they are splitting up. He believes they are \"passionately committed\" to staying married.\u003cbr/\u003eMadonna's representative, Liz Rosenberg, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the singer had not read the memoir but found it \"very upsetting\" that Ciccone \"has decided to sell a book based on his sister.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"I would have to assume she has come to terms with the fact that they do not have a close and loving relationship,\" Rosenberg said. \"And with the book coming out, I assume that will remove the chances of that ever happening.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHillel Italie, an AP national writer also confirmed that Madonna is unlikely to be happy about the book.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think she understands this book is not being put out to say nice things about her.  I think the sense is look he's looking to make some money off of his life with her.  If you find out your own sibling is sort of cashing in on your relationship, if that's what it is, this is something that upsets her,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eCiccone's memoir includes everything from gossip about Madonna's sex life (she lost her virginity to a \"guy named Russell\") to anecdotes about such ex-lovers as Sean Penn (Madonna called him a \"paranoid control freak\") and Warren Beatty, who allegedly cornered Ciccone at a party and quizzed him intensely on what it was like to be gay.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, Hillel Italie doesn't feel that the book will shock Madonna fans.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I don't think you would come out the book thinking ''Oh God, I never imagined she was like this.'' I think you sort of get her the way a lot of people imagine her to be,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe book also offers snapshots of Bruce Willis allegedly hitting on other women while still married to Demi Moore, of Ciccone dancing with Moore at a drag queen club, of Madonna allegedly kissing Gwyneth Paltrow on the mouth during a New Year's Eve dance at which Ciccone said that he and Ritchie got into a shoving match.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Life With My Sister Madonna\" was co-authored by celebrity biographer Wendy Leigh, who has written books on Liza Minnelli, Grace Kelly and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
