Madonna And The British Media
Madonna was recently proclaimed to be the most popular pageant of the British media. As The Daily Telegraph said, during the last ten years her name was mentioned more than many other famous names in the music or movie industries. Totally, if counting right from 2000 more than forty five thousand articles were specifically dedicated to her; pretty good list and it certainly fits Madonna. As the issue noticed, such popularity among the British journalists may be explained by her active artistic role, but also a lot of personal circumstances that keep on surrounding her all the time. Particularly, this is related to her recent divorce with Guy Ritchie and various stories on adopting children from Malavi. Also, many articles and news rumour about Madonna’s romance with Jesus Luz. The first three mostly mentioned celebrities belong to the music industry. The second spot went to Robbie Williams (almost twenty eight thousand articles), third place belongs to Britney Spears.

These days musicians are not less poweful in terms of popularity than movie stars and often they work as both. At the same time it may be interesting to note that Madonna and Britney Spears are not British, but it did not keep them away from being mentioned by the British media. Madonna got on the first place staying pretty far away from the second spot, which was taken by the Brit, Robbie Williams.
