Chris Ciccone (The ultimate Bro)

I definitely see a resemblance.

Damn, he's certainly gotten fat.

I wonder if Madge gives money to any of her siblings?

When he and Madonna were still tight, he always came off as insufferably arrogant to me, so OP’s description sounds right. His book was juicy read, that’s for sure, but I can’t help wonder how that affected the dynamics with his entire family.

I think Madonna is tight with her sister Paula. I think she was only one invited to her marriage to Guy Ritchie.

What a bloated mess.

He certainly did get fat. Those Ciccone genes don’t seem to aging any of them well. Madonna seems to be tight with her sisters Paula and Melanie these days. I can only imagine what it’s like trying to maintain a normal relationship with a sister who’s a raging narcissist millionaire.

Can the family even ever be in the same room together? I mean his book let it all hang out. And then at the end he talks about loving his sister and how he hopes they can come together again. In what world?

Porker.

He must live in LA or somewhere out of NYC, he no longer is out and about like in the past. Maybe he has a partner and 3 adopted kids from Malawi, he always like to imitate his sister you know.

Do any Italians age well? I think not.

Do shut up r11.

What about me?

Wow did he get fat & ugly.

I'd rather remember him like this . . .

For some reason, the only thing I remember him doing away from his sister was being a "style expert" judge one year on the Restaurant Wars episode of Top Chef. He was just as prissy and obnoxious as one would expect.

However, I will always remember him dragging one team because they used scented candles on the tables which interfered with the smell and taste of the food. I had never though of that before, and always think about it when I have people over for dinner.

I guess he has served a purpose in my life, then.

Everyone knows you use unscented candles at dinner parties. I learned that from my grandmother.

He found his place in heaven if he taught the fraus this one thing!

Give me a break, I was about 15 at the time, so I hadn't thrown a shit ton of dinner parties at the time...

"Millionaire," r7?

You think small.

[quote]I'd rather remember him like this.

I'd rather remember her like that.

But there's a lot of Ciconne siblings. Do they get along now? Do any of them, past or present actually work for Madonna? And what about the so called homeless brother?

All I know is I would be kissing up to Madge something fierce....like being a personal assistant or something to get some of that cash, even if I despised her privately.

[quote] I definitely see a resemblance.

We know what she'd look like now without the million and one interventions.

He has that deep , sexy voice and used to be fit. He looked like an arrogant jerk type in tank tops and like his pits would reek but would fuck you like a beast and you’d like it.

I learned that scented candle thing from Top Chef also. But it was something you never thought about at dinner parties normally because there weren't a slew of scented candle companies until more recently.

it's just common sense not to use tacky scented candles - like it's common sense not to serve tacky flavored coffee

last time I saw Chris, he was coming into that bar on Ave B or was it A, called Cake and like the music biz wannabe I was I approached him and had a brief convo with him. This caused a major rift between my friend and I, my friend was mad because I mentioned him meeting Chris at Universal Grill the week before. People are so touchy in NYC.

[quote] He has that deep , sexy voice and used to be fit. He looked like an arrogant jerk type in tank tops and like his pits would reek but would fuck you like a beast and you’d like it.

You know he had 9 inches which is now 5, since the rest is hidden by his gunt.

And it smells like stale salami and regret

He was at the Guy Ritchie wedding because he bitched about it for ten pages in his book. He claimed Guy was homophobic and constantly said rude things to him and poked fun at him at all the wedding parties. In the book he claimed he got tired of it and said something like, "Guy will be in my room after dinner sucking my dick if anyone would like to watch." This was said at a large dinner party and Guy and Madge were not happy about it at all.

Cokehead with a hungry hole.

R26 I'm drinking Nescafe vanilla instant coffee right now. Care to join? I'll light a candle. How about Frosted Pine by Yankee.

I’ll ask him when he relieves me at the night shift at the A Plus minimart later...

[quote] Do any Italians age well? I think not.

Chris Cuomo is almost 50 and has aged gracefully.

I met him in a nightclub in Paris around the time his book was published. He was high as fuck. I don't remember the name of the venue but the DJ was Nicolas Nucci.

Best R1 in awhile! Well done.

All of Madonna's brothers are drunken assholes who bitch and moan that she won't given them any $$$, I don't blame her for not wanting anything to do with them.

Her brother Anthony is a homeless alcoholic, her brother Martin is an alcoholic who's had several DUI arrests, and her brother Mario is an alcoholic who's been arrested for beating up his girlfriend. And they're all pissed that Madonna won't hand them a blank check because they all feel they deserve it.

To Madonna's credit, she has paid all of their legal fees and offered to pay for rehab, but they've all refused to go.

The four Ciccone brothers in the 80s.

Wow, I've never seen that picture @ R37. They were all pretty good looking. I don't necessarily see brothers who are all good looking all that often. Martin was the hottest IMHO.

The blond one was gorgeous. I think he was the housekeeper's son.

There have always been fabulous scented candles. The Duchess of Windsor used Rigaud, but of course never in the dining room. She matched the scents to her flower arrangements in various other rooms.

He’s a Right winger now. He married some British guy. He defended that fat fuck cunt that wouldn’t issue marriage licenses.

What about her sisters?

Madonna is supposedly close to her sister Melanie, I don't know about the other sisters. Melanie is married to the musician Joe Henry and their son Levon (Madonna's nephew) is also a musician.

Levon and Joe:

Martin recently said that she paid for him to get new teeth.

He was very happy. I think the years of drinking and drug use ruined his original teeth.

[quote] Do any Italians age well? I think not.

Bitch!

There are plenty of Italians that age well. They just aren't trying to look hip with grills and hideous plastic surgery.

Why do Italian families always seem like they have a million sons?

The Italian families I grew up with never had more than three kids. I think that was an older generation r47.

Madonna cowrote "Don't Tell Me" with Joe Henry

The Irish have a million kids, not Italians.

Most old school ethnic families have tons of kids

I had no idea Madonna had so many siblings. Also, I'm sadly not surprised that enmity exists between the various brothers and sisters. It seems that with Italian-American families with X number of kids, there always seems to be two who are not on speaking terms for whatever latest perceived slight or offense. Compound that with having a famous, controversial, multi-millionaire sister and...

Enjoy your looks while you have 'em, folks.

in his prime he had men and women drooling over him, Demi Moore was chasing him in his prime and he was an OBVIOUSLY GAY man.

I read the memoir and thought CC left the door open to reconciliation with MC. It wasn't a hit piece he choose his words carefully and he could have been a lot nastier.

He reserved the majority of his venom for MC's hangers-on including her ex-husband and lesbian BFF Ingrid Casears, whom he described as alternately manipulative and a victim of MC's mind games.

In his heyday he was an arrogant jerk, he deserves ridicule now as a fat old man, he called many eldergays worse than that, so fuck him

time is the greatest equalizer, he looks like jabba the hut these days

R52: And their mother dies at an early age and the father immediately gets remarried. We're lucky none of them are serial killers......

Madonna always had a contentious relationship with her stepmother, as many people do who lose their biological mothers early. Her father and stepmother are still alive.

Mario Ciccone used to be Director of Merchandising at Maverick Records. He now runs Ciccone Vineyards and Winery, after their dad retired several years ago. Paula Ciccone is its Director of Marketing & Publicity.

Melanie used to be a publicist for Brian Eno's Opal Records. Jennifer is an art teacher in Michigan. Martin works at a rehab center in Hollywood.

R49 Have always liked that song and What it feels like to be a Girl on the same album.

He follows nothing but alt-Right nuts and Fox News on Facebook.

He supported Kim Davis. Freak.

He was only a Kabbalah water bottle and a macrobiotic food lunch away from having the straight jawline his older sister has. There is no other explanation.

mouth breather

And now he’s Truman Capote. Gross.

He has resting Midwestern face.

I used to know a guy who lived with him in this spectacular house in LA. It was an old Hollywood type house that was falling apart but had a huge rounded straivase and big rooms. It was cool. They’d host wild parties that are filled with hot guys. I went to a couple of them while I would be in town and they were fun. I’d been introduced to CC a couple of time but he was always high (everyone was). So good memories of him from my end.

I'm an hour into the audiobook of his tell-all and it's pretty good. The nostalgia is great for fans of early Madonna. He reads the audio himself and he seems aware that he can be just as self-centered and bitchy as his sister.

He was the creative director on both the "Truth or Dare" and "Girlie Show" tours, so those chapters should be juicy.

When her grills have been removed for the last time and she is sent off in her coffin could her biopic be the best of our generation, if it's handled well?

When their father dies, that will be an interesting gathering.

I personally would tell every last dirty secret of Madonnas to make a buck! I’d go on tour and do it live and take questions.

R70, even if she was your sister?

[quote]There have always been fabulous scented candles. The Duchess of Windsor used Rigaud, but of course never in the dining room. She matched the scents to her flower arrangements in various other rooms.

Um.... this thread is about Madonna's brother. Can we please get back to scented candles?

My goodness age is cruel. I wonder how he pays his bills and grocery bill.

Madonna's father must be ancient by now.

R73, well, he's obviously eating.

R53, maybe I'm blind but he is not THAT GOOD LOOKING. I mean, he's attractive, but jesus, did people just have lower standards back then? And Demi Moore chased after him???

I’ve always had a thing for him, even fat him until finding out he is a Fox News nut. Ugh.

Here’s a Dutch interviewer whose first words are “This is your apartment. The first reaction I think everyone has...kind of small. You’d think Madonna’s brother...”

🤣🤣🤣

Whoops!

You’ve got style. That’s what all the girls say.

He's a DL'er. Usually r5.
