Intervention

So what do you do when your daughter is the most famous woman in the world? Well, for Silvio (Tony) Ciccone, you don't live off your child's money -- after all, you have your Italian pride to consider. Instead, you start a business -- with her money -- and sell products with her picture on them to boost sales.

This is not a joke. Maddy's daddy -- yes, the very one she lambasted against in "Oh, Father" and "Papa Don't Preach" -- has a vineyard in Michigan; a state known for motor oil, not Merlot. At first Tony began Ciccone Vineyard with simple Michigan wines, but after business continued to falter, he realized that slapping a picture of his Goddess daughter might sell a few bottles. Um, ya think?


Of course I want to order every bottle. I want all things Madonna. Earlier this year she made it easier for her to expand into my wardrobe, although I still haven't decided on a t-shirt. Eventually, I want everything I own to be Madonna related. I wonder if she'll ever come out with Madonna soap-on-a-rope or Madonna whitening strips? I'll take 8!
