1. A Madonna also has an array of nicknames, including Nonnie, Mo and M (which is what her friends call her).

2. C Madonna’s religious name, Esther, comes from the Zohar (a.k.a. Bible) of the Kabbalah faith, which is spirituality based in Jewish mysticism.

3. A Madonna married Guy Ritchie in Scotland’s 19th-century Skibo Castle. Her maid of honour was long-time friend Gwyneth Paltrow, and her dressed was designed by another close personal friend, Stella McCartney. Other celebs in attendance included Donatella Versace, Rupert Everett and Sting (who wore a traditional quilt).

4. B The Yankee ball player, A-Rod, was reportedly lured to Madonna by the teachings of the Kabbalah. Although Madonna states her and Guy don’t plan to get a divorce, A-Rod’s wife, Cynthia, filed this past summer. Her lawyer claims that, “Madonna was the last straw.”

5. A Gwyneth was Madonna’s maid of honour in her marriage to Guy Ritchie. But, the pair has been reported to have had a falling out because Madonna declined Gwyneth’s invite to a Kabbalah study group in London. Can we say…high school drama?

6. B The macrobiotic diet consists of a daily regiment of whole grains, soup, beans, vegetables, and seeds and nuts.

7. A This past summer Madonna’s estranged brother published a tell-all book about her. He wrote the book, without his sister’s consent, in collaboration with British journalist Wendy Leigh. The book is reported to be extremely vivid and graphic.

8. B Lourdes’ father is an actor/personal trainer. But, even with all the controversy surrounding Madonna the pair still maintain a good relationship.

9. D Madonna has always been on the fashion radar as shocking and innovative. However, she did confessed to People Magazine, “I’ve never liked shopping- I don’t like going into a store and going through racks.”

10. B Her most recent tour is called Sticky and Sweet. Currently performing in European cities, the singer has also asked fans in the first front rows to not smoke.

11. C Although Madonna did not in fact request a bread-maker for her tour, she does have nine people working the wardrobe department, and five people helping with costume changes and transitions. In addition, the traveling trampolines are used by her and her dance crew in training.

12. B The singer turned actress won the Worst Screen Couple at the Razzie Awards for her performance with co-star Adriano Giannini for the terrible film Swept Away (2002).

13. A Madonna got herself into a sticky situation with the Puerto Rican House of Representatives when she pulled the flag between her legs during a concert on October 26th 1993.

14. A The extremely controversial video for Madonna’s 1989 single Like A Prayer featured burning crosses, murder and racism. As a result, her $5 million contract to promote Pepsi fell through after the commercial had aired only once during The Cosby Show.

15. A Madonna has reached the half-century mark. Just because the Queen of Pop has turned 50 doesn’t mean she shows any signs of slowing down. What sums up her attitude towards turning the big 5-0 best is the lyrics to her song Give It 2 Me, “There’s no beginning and no ending.”

BONUS QUESTION 16. A In this infamous one-on-one with David Letterman in 1994 Madonna let her potty mouth get the better of her by saying the F-word 13 times. For someone with an IQ of 140 that was not so smart.
