Madonna Tell All?

By: Shannon Gossage

Melissa Dumas reportedly is penning the memoir "Live to Tell: My Life as Madonna’s Nanny" with a ghostwriter and the book is expected to be released in September. According to Crown Publishing the book "will detail, from the nanny’s perspective, what home life is like for the Material Girl and her director husband, Guy Ritchie." The book is reportedly going to shed a negative light on Madonna and will reveal intimate details of her marriage and home life.

An 80-page proposal has reportedly surfaced and the book is alleged to include information on the marriage of Madonna and Ritchie, their children, their religion, and their adoption of a boy from Malawi. The book will also reportedly include personal photos of Dumas playing with Madonna’s children and of the family. It is also been reported that the book will also include a nondisclosure agreement that Dumas claims was given to her by Madonna after she had already resigned. Dumas claims that she lived with Madonna and her family during 2005 and 2006. She also claims that she had to follow all of Madonna’s strict household rules that included no television, newspapers or magazines, and a strict diet.

Madonna has a daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship with Carlos Leon. She and husband Ritchie also have a son Rocco and they recently adopted a boy, David. From Malawi. The couple was married in December 2000. Madonna was previously married to actor Sean Penn from 1985-1989. Madonna has not yet made a statement concerning Dumas or the book that she is writing.
