HOW DOES MADONNA COPE WITH HER BUSY MOTHER-AND-STAR LIFESTYLE?

Quite often over the last few months we've had our peace broken by Madonna screeching about how nobody can possibly understand how difficult it is being a multi-millionaire and a mother, so we're happy to get a chance to discover exactly how she manages. For example, what do you do if you want to have a quiet weekend with your husband? Madonna's tip is dump your kids off on someone else and head off:

[Madonna] will return with him to £1,000-a-night Skibo Castle in the Scottish Highlands next week to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.

And they're making sure there's plenty of time for romance by leaving kids LOURDES, nine, and five-year-old ROCCO with relatives. There'll even be a tempting four-poster bed in their luxury room.

Of course, the kids also weren't around when Madonna was celebrating her birthday and got thrown off the horse. And presumably she didn't take them off on her hectic promotional tour, either. We're starting to see how she manages.
