Madonna swaps sweet charity for lap dancing

The singer put saving the world on hold while she auditioned tabletop dancers for her latest project, rumoured to be a short film.

Visiting London club Secrets, the mother of three looked decidedly demure in baggy trousers, an open collared shirt and dark oversized glasses.

She briefly wandered around outside the premises with a giant coffee in hand, before heading in to meet the hopefuls.

She is said to have asked a number of girls to read from a script before taking to the stage to perform.

Madonna recently returned from Malawi where she spent six days with her daughter Lourdes and son David, 1, whom she is adopting.

Friends say Madonna is looking to adopt daughter from the country, although her publicist has denied this.
