Britney Spears to make 'virtual' appearance on Madonna's tour

Madonna has asked Britney Spears to make a "virtual" appearance on her upcoming tour.

The veteran singer has asked the troubled pop star to appear in a video that will reportedly be displayed during her Sticky & Sweet tour, which kicks off in Cardiff, Wales on August 23.

"There is footage being shot of Britney some time this week in conjunction with Madonna's upcoming tour," Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said in an e-mail today (July 8) to the Associated Press. "That is all the information I have available. The rest is `a secret.'"

Madonna and Spears made headlines together when they shared an open-mouth kiss on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003.

Madonna's new purple sex toy

What birthday gift do you buy the man who is married to one of the world's richest women and has everything?

Well, it looks like Madonna bought him a 'purple penetrator'.

Guy Ritchie was a little too embarrassed to carry the intriguing gift away from his 39th birthday celebration at Claridges on Monday night.

So his wife, 49, proudly stepped in and did the honours for her husband, carrying the £30 sex aid away from the exclusive London restaurant in a plastic bag for all to see.

Guys, now you know what it's like 'In Bed with Madonna'.
