Madonna has hired more than 400 bodyguards after receiving death threats from Balkan fanatics, who worked to keep her from performing her Sticky & Sweet Concert in front of 30,000 fans in Belgrade, Serbia on Monday night.

The controversial Material Mama arrived in disguise and surrounded by a posse of burly bodyguards after receiving threatening messages ahead of her first performance in the Serbian capital, The Daily Star reports.

Madonna has been left so shaken by the death threats, she’s decided to pay the guards to accompany her to neighboring Romania, where she is set to play later this evening.

Her rep Liz Rosenberg has declined to comment further on the nature of the threats.

The Material Girl has unveiled the tracklisting for her upcoming Greatest Hits album, Celebration.

The album, debuting Sept. 29, is Madonna’s final release as an artist on the Warner Brothers roster, and will feature 36 of the pop queen’s most popular songs since she burst onto the music scene in over-the-top outfits and funky ’80s hair 27 years ago.

Madonna has upset the Holy Rollers again….What else is new?

Orthodox Church officials in Bulgaria are urging locals to boycott the Material Girl’s concert this weekend, accusing the pop legend of disrespecting Christianity.

The show at Sofia’s Vasil Levski Stadium is expected to be attended by about 50,000 people on Saturday.

The Church of Bulgaria issued a statement Tuesday expressing “disapproval and disagreement” with the concert and accuses the pop legend of displaying “a disrespectful and intolerant attitude” toward Christians during her Sticky & Sweet World Tour.

“Louise Esther Ciccone, with almost every concert in a Christian country, displays a disrespectful and intolerant attitude to the religious feelings of the Christians there,” the statement reads.

Madonna made her 22-year-old boyfriend cry after refusing to wear the jewelry he purchased as a gift for her 51st birthday.

At her party in Italy on Sunday, Brazilian model Jesus Luz presented the Material Girl a set of South American good-luck bracelets, made of thin ribbons which are said to grant the wearer three wishes when they break.

Madonna loves Jesus!

Mercy Madonna Of Malawi, a musical parody about Madonna’s controversial adoption of African orphan Mercy James, is being performed by an all-Malawian cast at the Edinburgh Fringe in London this month. The 50-year-old Material Girl is portrayed by a black male actor in the campy production.

She may be the Material Mom, but Madonna’s no doll, according to the toy titans at Mattel.

After learning that expectant mother and catwalk maven Heidi Klum was recently honored with her own Barbie Doll as part of the brand’s Blonde Ambition Collection, Madge decided she wanted to be immortalized in plastic, too, The Globe’s Loosch Lips Column reports.

The Queen of Pop immediately rang up Mattel and pitched the idea of producing a Barbie Doll in her likeness, which would celebrate her contributions to music, spies say. Madonna was floored when the company politely said “thank, but no thanks” to idea of creating The Madonna Barbie.

Word is Mattel — who met controversy over their Black Canary Barbie in 2008 — feared the public backlash that could arise from consumers who frown on Madonna’s raunchy image. The sexualized “Holiday” singer has had several run-ins with the Catholic Church and more than few high-profile romantic entanglements over the course of her nearly 30 year career.

But this is one royal diss Madge won’t take lying down.

The Globe writes: “Since she’s used to getting what she wants, Madonna is now considering launching her own doll collection to rival Barbie.”

Madonna is adopting a new exercise regime to “tone down” her shockingly sinewy arms.

Madonna wants to take her four children; Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David Banda and Mercy, both 3; on a “life changing” trip to Auschwitz, the largest of Nazi Germany’s concentration camps and extermination camps established in Nazi German occupied Poland in the 1940s.

The Queen of Pop hopes to visit the camp with her family after her concert in Poland later this month and has already discussed the plans with close friend Rabbi Berg.

“It won’t be an easy trip but it is an ultimate life affirming experience, and one Madonna – because of her strong Kaballah beliefs – does not want to ignore,” an unidentified Madonna camp source whispered to The Mirror on Monday.

“She wants her children to appreciate how lucky they are and to learn about mistakes made in the past,” the source added.
