Madonna takes prima donna to the next level

Many celebrities have been known for having unusual demands for their appearances. Madonna has them, but she also leaves nothing behind.

Madonna has put together a sterilization team to clear away any DNA that may have been left in her room through hairs, skin or saliva.

Her MDNA tour moves into Portugal this week, and according to mirror.co.uk, promoter Álvaro Ramos said, “We cannot even look at the dressing room after it is ready, or even open the door. We can only enter after her sterilization team has left the room.

Madonna will perform at the Coimbra City Stadium in Portugal and her own staff will fix the dressing rooms, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. "Her team will build fake ceilings and fake walls for her, so they can ensure that no one has hidden a camera somewhere," Ramos said.

According to Christian Post, Madonna travels with a 200-person entourage, which includes bodyguards, personal chefs, a yoga instructor, an acupuncturist and an on-site dry cleaner. Also, she wants 20 international phone lines in her dressing room, and she wants the room filled with lilies and white and light-pink roses with stems trimmed to six inches.

Oh yeah, one more thing. In the past she has ordered a new toilet seat at every concert date.

“In the end it is all to protect her and make her feel comfortable,” said Ramos, according to the San Jose Mercury News. “I understand it, but it is taken to extremes."

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
