A Pop queen she may be, yet Madonna seems to be into publicity peasantry these days.

Fresh from drumming up racial backlash in February, the 55-year-old took to Instagram today to shine the spotlight on herself in yet another attention-seeking way.

With her toned armed raised above her head, the Lady GaGa rival showcased underarm hair with the caption:

“Long hair…… Don’t Care!!!!!! #artforfreedom#rebelheart #revolutionoflove”

We’re all for self-expression, but how this correlates with “revolution of love” is anyone’s guess.

Let’s just hope her Madgesty is putting as much energy into her new material as she is her stunts. Because, beyond being a sales disaster, her last album ‘MDNA’ was tyrannosaurus mess.

Why, how, and who allowed this to happen is anyone’s guess. One thing is certain though, this’ll inevitably spell much more Kardashian coverage for the masses. Joy.
