A TRUE FIGHTER

A tough-to-beat champ on – and off – the stage, Madonna suited up as a heavyweight boxer in press photos for Hard Candy, her 11th studio album, which was released 25 years after that first Solid Gold appearance. Now 50, Madonna's embarking on yet another ambitious tour. "I'm not sure I can sing 'Holiday' or 'Like a Virgin' ever again," the singer told New York's Z100-FM. "I just can't – unless somebody paid me like $30 million or something."
