Madonna the working mum while her children play in Paris
Last updated at 09:42am on 10.07.09It was work as usual for Madonna while her family took in some tourist sightseeing.
Looking distinctly unglamorous for once, the singer was seen wrapped in a towelling robe after her "Sticky and Sweet" concert at the Bercy centre in Paris.
Beauty's where you find it: Madonna looking less than glamorous in her robe
While she concentrated on her day and night job, her four children played by the Seine.
Lourdes, 13, Rocco, eight, David Banda, three, and her newest adopted daughter Mercy, also three, went with their nannies on a boat trip to see the Eiffel Tower.

I think that she's pretty amazing and who cares what she does to her face.
I get so sick of people picking on older women in the public eye.
She's fantastic!
Keep Living! Madonna! You are always going to scare people who can't handle difference!

She is looking more and more like the Beast of Wildestein with those cat eyes and oddly puffy/pointy cheeks. Weird. I wonder what she would look like if she had let her natural beauty lead her into her 50s? Better than she does now I reckon.

The last Queen of pop rock, o very strong women, big hearth, unike voice and energy ... Chapeau, Madonna ! The age and the face liftings are secondary now... The geniality on the scene talks ! Thank you to be in Romania this year!

We're not idiotsl Paris Lees of Brighton. She does not look good. 8 out of 9 people say so, we can't all be wrong. You just have a different opinion. and wrapped up in the fact that its Madonna. If she were a normal woman walking down the street I'm sure you'd have the same opinion as us. She looks dreadful. I'm 40 and when I tell people my age they are completely shocked. I'm always mistaken for someone in their 20s, AND I'm a pauper so even if I could afford surgery I wouldn't. It's all down to good genes dear.

It's make up as well people!!! Yeesh....give her a break...
I would like to see some of the people criticising here put the energy she does into these concerts - and yes, I have seen it, so therefore I know.
As Paris from Brighton says - if you had the money, you would do it - please don't deny it....

Any more facelifts and she'll have to start shaving.......

OMG What has she done to herself she looks like Jocelyn Wildestein - The Cat Woman. That is not a good look Ms Ciccione! You look scary. I'm wondering if Mercy is screaming out in the last picture at the thought of returning to the scary woman.

If my mum looked like that in her dressing gown at 50 I would be so proud. So what she's had a facelift? I'm guessing that many people would if they had unlimited money. She looks fantastic. She me a hotter 50 year old. You're all idiots.
