Custody battle taking its toll on Madonna?

Dancing around on stage dressed as a clown, complete with pink wig and stripey stockings a “drunk” Madonna downed a vodka cocktail and burst into tears as her bitter custody battle raged on. The pop star tried to put a brave face and dedicated her song Intervention to her estranged teenage son.

She said she wasn’t drunk but did request a cosmopolitan cocktail on stage adding that it was the first time she had ever done so as 10,000 miles away the legal wrangling continued over where Rocco, her son with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, should live.

The 15-year-old sat through six hours of legal argument at the High Court in London yesterday as lawyers for his parents discussed his future.
