Madonna broke down onstage during the New Zealand leg of her Rebel Heart tour on Friday, after basically losing custody of her 15-year-old son Rocco.
The Queen of Pop burst into tears in front of her fans in Auckland and said, "There is no love stronger than a mother for her son ... If I talk about him too much I might cry." She then dedicated her song, "La Vie en Rose," to him and added, "I hope he hears this somewhere and knows how much I miss him."
Madonna told friends she has "lost the battle" after finally admitting her son does not want to live with her, reports The Daily Mail. In December Rocco left his mother's world tour and flew to Britain to stay with his father, Guy Ritchie. Despite an order from the court in New York and please from his mom, he refused to return.
Madonna, 57, is reportedly "utterly bereft" but is willing to let Rocco stay with his dad as long as she's able to co-parent from across the pond. "She won't stop fighting to try to make sure Rocco is kept safe and has what he needs," a source told the mail. "She can't understand why it has come to this. Her world has been shattered."

Caitlyn Jenner went to a family dinner in Calabasas on Saturday night, and by the looks of her outfit, she was trying to be the best dressed member of the Kardashian-Jenner family at the table. (Let's face it: She probably was.)
But perhaps she was trying to impress someone else? Jenner's pals Candis Cayne and Chandi Moore chatted with E! News about the second season of I Am Cait, and Candis revealed that she has a Tinder account, but added that Cait does not. Still, Cait is interested in finding love -- so will that be on the show next season?
“To be honest, if I was in a relationship with a guy, I would enjoy being treated like that,†the 66-year-old reality star said in a preview clip for the series. “Opening doors for you, doing all what you would think is the traditional stuff in a guy and a girl relationship. It would have to be a very special guy to be able to do that, but yeah, I would be open to that.â€
While Caitlyn seems to want to take things slow and find the right guy, her producers are on a different page. According to a recent report in OK! Magazine,, producers are looking to cast a boyfriend for Cait because she has "no potential suitors." Ouch!

Teresa Giudice must be happy to be promoting her new book, "Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again," which is number two on the New York Times' best seller list, but we're guessing she's bummed to be sending her hubby Joe off to prison this month!
The couple attended a book signing in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, and but time is running out. Teresa was released from Danbury Correctional Facility in Connecticut on December 23, but Joe is due to start his own 41-month sentence on March 23.
Joe and Teresa were sentenced in October 2014 for bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. The couple were permitted to serve their time separately to ease the blow on their four daughters, Gia, 15, Gabriella, 11, Milania, 10, and Audriana, 6.
However, the family is still worried that Joe might be deported to Italy. Joe has lived in America for two years, but he never became a US citizen. "There is no way Joe is going back to Italy without a huge long legal battle," a source told Radar back in September. "He had already begun the steps to become a citizen as the criminal case against him developed."

After dropping husband Kanye West off at the airport on Saturday morning, Kim Kardashian rushed home and made the day all about daughter North West.
First the ladies went to lunch with some pals, and then Kim took her oldest child shopping at Toys R Us in Woodland Hills. Nori was seen clutching a toy watering can and a basket filled with Easter eggs, and she couldn't contain her excitement as she raced in the store. In fact, she was so thrilled she actually took a tumble in her mad rush to race towards the store's door!
Kim and Nori both wore all black and matching Yeezy's, natch, and we can't get over how much she's starting to look like her mom!

Kanye West landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday after his 48-hour trip to Paris, and while we love the smile on his face, Yeezy's pants are showing a little too much leg. These jeans look like something Kendall should be wearing, not a 38-year-old rapper. Anyway...
When asked about his trolling tweet on Tuesday, in which suggested he was illegally downloading music, one photographer called him an "arrogant hypocrite." Ouch! Kanye's reply? "I'm a hypocrite bro." LOL! Kanye then continued by saying, "You're going to make money off that photo though, right?" Watch it below...
On Saturday, Kanye was back at LAX, but this time wifey Kim Kardashian played chauffeur and dropped him off:

Blac Chyna jetted out of town on Friday with her entourage, but where was boyfriend Rob Kardashian? The sock designer was noticeably absent when we snapped Blac strutting in to the terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.
We're not worried about it though. Given the amount of time Rob and Blac have been spending together, a few days apart could be pretty healthy for them. Plus, there's always FaceTime!
On Thursday Rob posted an Instagram photo of Blac taking a nap in a green wig and wrote, “Love this woman right here so f*ck y'all with your negative comments ‼ï¸ðŸ¼ðŸ¼ðŸ˜ðŸ˜." This of course comes a little more than a week after his February 23 Instagram post which took a MAJOR swipe at the Kardashian family. “When the p***y good but your family don’t like her so you drop your family and become an orphan," he wrote.

Joey Feek, half of the award-winning country duo Joey + Rory, passed away on Friday after two years of battling cervical cancer, her manager confirmed.
Joey and her husband Rory teamed up in 2008 after working together on the Country Music Television singing competition "Can You Duet?" and not only did they have had a number of hit tunes in the years since then, but they also started a family and opened a restaurant. Rory chronicled the family's life on his blog, This Life I Live, and on Friday he posted an update.
Rory wrote, "My wife's greatest dream came true today. She is in Heaven," and added:
"Though this is, and has been, a time of many tears of sorrow, it has also been a time of countless tears of joy. There have been too many beautiful moments to count or even begin to share in this blog. But I try. When a person has been through as much pain and struggle as Joey's been through, you just want it to be over. You want them to not have to hurt anymore, more that you want them to stay with you. And so, it makes the hard job of saying goodbye just a little easier."
Feek was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014, and despite multiple surgeries and chemo, the cancer continued to spread. Last fall, Rory wrote on his blog that they had decided to end treatment and spend time at home.
After the news of her passing, a number of friends, family and fellow country performers have tweeted their condolences. Carrie Underwood wrote, "Praying for the family & friends of Joey Feek. A beautiful soul moved into heaven today. A beautiful legacy she left behind," while Blake Shelton added, "So sad to hear about Joeys passing."
Fellow country star Chris Young remembered his time spent with Joey and her husband. "Thoughts, prayers, and condolences to the Feek family. Have played shows with Joey and Rory before and it's so sad to lose her amazing voice," he tweeted.
A video posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on
We're not sure what motivated Britney Spears to post this Instagram video of herself dancing on the beach yesterday, but we're certainly glad she did!
The clip is set to Mark Ronson and Mystikal's "Feel Right," and Brit simply captioned it, "Happy Friday." In it she giggles, tosses her hair and shows off her amazing body in a tiny orange bikini on the beach. We're not sure what her workout routine has been lately, but hot damn! She looks both incredible AND happy, so it's great to see her this way!
After wrapping up the 12th leg of her Piece of Me show in Vegas last week, Brit doesn't have to perform again until April 6, so this is essentially her spring break. Wonder where she is? We're thinking Cabo, but it could be Malibu too...
