Money just not enough for Madge

Pop icon Madonna will soon be appearing in 30-second TV adverts for clothing giants Gap alongside rapper Missy Elliot.

Supposedly the ads will net her a cool $10m (€8.7m) but as money isn’t that important when you are already obscenely rich part of the deal is her recently penned children’s book will be sold at the chain’s stores.

A source told American magazine Us Weekly: "As part of the deal, she also insisted that her new children's book, The English Roses, be sold at The Gap's children stores."

A spokesperson for Madonna confirmed the first of her five book series “will be sold at the Gap”, but Gap has refused to confirm or deny the deal.
