HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAG / MADONNA TURNS 47
SOURCE: Hits Daily Double
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OUCH!: Today is Madonna's 47th birthday but the celebration wasn’t exactly a happy one, as the pop diva suffered several broken bones in a horse riding accident at her country home outside London. She was hospitalized with three cracked ribs, a broken collarbone and a broken hand, according to Liz Rosenberg, her New York-based spokesperson. Madonna and an assistant were riding horses, when the superstar—on a new horse she wasn't accustomed to riding—took a tumble. Husband, film director Guy Ritchie, took Madonna to an undisclosed hospital, where she was treated. Rosenberg said the entertainer was expected to be released later in the evening. No word on whether the accident will hurt future touring plans or promotion for her upcoming album.
