Madonna
's estranged brother
Christopher Ciccone
has lashed out at his megastar big sister again, slamming her appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
Her Madgesty and sibling Ciccone
after he penned his tell-all tome,
Life With My Sister Madonna
, flipping the lid on the star's sex life and alleging that she more or less treated her kid brother like a doormat.
The lady of perpetual promotion pursued all manner of legal ways to block the publication of the book, but failed. And the rest is history.
Dirty laundry
Ciccone was then unceremoniously cattle-prodded from Madge's inner-circle and the singer vowed never to make contact with him again, despite her father's pleas for a reconciliation.
However, Madge reportedly had a change of heart following her split from Cockney geezer ex-hubby
Guy Ritchie
, offering an olive branch to her brother earlier this month.
The not so
Like a Virgin
star emailed her interior designer brother in a bid to try and repair the damage and open up lines of communication between them.
A snitch told the
Daily Mirror
: "Madonna did it more for her family than for herself. Her feud with Chris was creating huge tension within the family so she decided to be the bigger person."
Which, to be fair, is big of her, considering Ciccone's betrayal.
"At one point Madonna wanted all the family to cut off Chris - but her father wasn't willing. It's been a nightmare ever since. She's calmed down about the book and had time to think. She realises blood is thicker than water and has said she will meet with him this year in LA," added the snitch.
But you can kiss goodbye to any thoughts of a soft-focus reconciliation filled with unicorns and rainbows, folks. Ciccone junior is back to doing what he does best - making bitter, bitchy remarks about his famous sis.
The pop icon, decked out in a tight black satin ensemble and retro bouffant, opened the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend and paid a moving tribute to late singer and former bro-pal

She didn't scrub up too badly for a 51-year-old dame, if you ask us. But Ciccone says no.

Speaking to E! news about her appearance, Ciccone, no doubt still bitter about his sister's ongoing fame and success, launched into another venomous attack on her.
"She looked like
Rachel Zoe
(celebrity fashion stylist) gone horribly wrong!" he bitched.
Rachel who? We too had to look her up.
But he didn't stop there. He went on to take a stab at Madge's Brazilian hottie
Jesus Luz
.
"
It proves the point that you can judge a person by the company they keep - or don't keep
," Ciccone says, snapping that "
it's painfully apparent that Jesus may be able to turn water into wine, but your basic blow dryer eludes him
."
We actually agree with him on the blow dryer front. Every snap we've seen of Luz has him sporting a rather

And in Ciccone's defence, there is the not-so-invisible issue of Madge's age-defying visage. Although she's never publicly said she's been under the knife, these snaps

hint that she may have been paid a little visit from the scalpel fairy.

comparing her to the Bride of Wildenstein
might be pushing things,

Note to self: Must stop gossiping and spreading nasty little rumours about carrot-tinged
Lindsay Lohan

Li-Lo has once again taken to her Twitter page for a bit of a rant about the gossip mills.
"My publicist just called me & said she heard I was in a psych ward!!!!" she penned.
"Hahaha WHAT IS WRONG with people???? I'm working lol" LOL indeed. Work, meet Li-Lo, we believe you two haven't met.
"BUT that's one I've NEVER heard about myself before! New ones r always interesting huh? There's SO much more going on in the world! Wake up."

claims she was raped by a celebrity

What Katie Did Next
- she reportedly blabbed the culprit's name before them this week.
Police confirmed today that they are to probe her claims, saying: "No report of a rape has been made to Surrey Police. Officers from Surrey Police have not yet spoken to her. However, officers will be following lines of enquiry into this offence."
Price now says she wishes she'd never said anything about the alleged rape, and "opening such a large can of worms."
