Madonna pushes the behaviour of boundaries a little too far

Madonna (remember her?) put in an appearance at the Grammys this year and, entirely in character, stirred up a hornet's nest of controversy.

It was not anything she said or did, but merely her look that has garnered so much press and social media attention (the air she breathes). She has now had so much plastic surgery (think Michael Jackson) that she no longer looks like herself, and arguably barely looks human.

Sporting a look somewhere between a sexy schoolgirl caricature and a ceramic doll, the 64-year old has-been was probably just trying to stave off the ravages of age, but she has set off a whole tsunami of comments, very few of them complimentary. In response, Madonna dismissed the comments as "ageism and misogyny", and says she looks forward to "many more years of subversive behaviour-pushing boundaries [sic]". Sigh.
