Happy birthday, Madonna!

The Queen of Pop turns 52 today, but celebrated on August 14 with daughter (and Material Girl business partner) Lourdes Leon, and beau Jesus Luz at the trendy Shoreditch House in East London.

Madge was head-to-toe glam-Goth in a Dolce & Gabbana gray satin cocktail dress; $2,050 at the Rodeo Drive boutique (310-888-8701), black pumps, black beaded hand jewelry, and fishnet stockings.

She completed her look with diamond ball earrings by Neil Lane. A spokesperson for the celeb jeweler told StyleList that in addition to the earrings, the singer has a personal collection of disco ball jewelry from the designer, which she was introduced to during her Confessions Tour.

And even though the megastar converted to Kabbalah during her 1996 pregnancy with Lourdes, her ensemble included not one, but two crucifixes.

The first was a large cross pendant necklace and, the second, a Lord & Saviour "Olympus Teneo" clutch (reportedly a gift from Brazilian boyfriend Luz).

Madonna has more plans in store for the birthday celebration.

It's rumored that she is throwing another party, but this one will incorporate son Rocco's birthday as well.

Madonna is said to be throwing a Kings and Queens-themed bash and may dress as Henry VIII's second wife -- Anne Boleyn.

In other celeb birthday news, check out Helen Mirren at 65 and through the years.

It's obvious she gave herself a few thousand dollars worth of 'face work' for her birthday. Nice gift if you can give it! Anyone can look 10+ years younger with the right doctor and the big bucks to pay the bill.

Yes she looks great, if you want to be dressed for your own funeral. She annoys me as well. As I have mentioned before, Madonna is like Cher, they don't know when to call it quits and keep turning up and turning up.

A) Yes, she looks like a million bucks in large bills. B) There was no "Disco Ball Tour," it was "Confessions on a Dancefloor."

She is wearing the Cross of Yeshua, Jesus. Praise G-d! I was hoping she was a believer in the prophetic Moshiach, Christos.

Madge was born into a Catholic family, but not sure if she accepted Yeshua, the Moshiach, Jesus. She is a gentile studying Kabbalah. Not sure if Messianic Jews study Kabbalah. Yeshua, Jesus, as we know fulfilled prophecy and is the One!!!

She looks outstanding on her birthday.

For the people in here that whine about her getting plastic surgery ? I am sure if you had 100 more plastic surgeries than her, you wouldn't look one tenth as good...She busted her butt to get to where she is today...Her conderts sell out as soon as they are listed....She is worth hundreds of millions of dollars....It's 4:19 pm...Do you know where your loser kids are right now ?

Straight Truth

Madonna has been shown without make up before. Without wash out lights, without being tarted up, she looks like an ordinary, goodlooking, 50 plus year old divorcee. Partly because she apparently hasn`t had the cosmetic surgery lazy, ugly, folks with ugly minds prefer to claim they assume. I knew Marlena Dietrich, whom Madonna used to look up to, when she was older, I was just a kid. Imitating middleaged women, I asked her to promise me not to do anything to try to stay young looking. She asked if she didn`t already look old. She was in her mid `50s. Didn`t look like a teen, looked her age, but gorgeous. Like Madonna, she always relied on talent, hard work, not just looks. Used to hang out with John Wayne, who was married, but then so was she, though her husband hadn`t seen her maybe for years, Wayne was still making babies at 60. Far far liberal? Never heard of Ron Reagan, Sen. Murphy, or a bunch of others? The nation turned to Obama because the alcoholic, dishonorably discharged from the national guard after one year draft dodging in the Guard plunged the country into a depression, which is still worsening, not because the country, or Hollywood, is "liberal". Madonna may be liberal, she may be one of the highly publicised few, but she is usually busy being a capitalist earning money hand over fist (which is a reasonable enough thing to do). And no, maybe she doesn`t care about us any more than she knows us, why should she? We are preoccupied with our own lives, why shouldn`t she be? Sean Penn can comment about himself, and will, but Carlos Leon and Guy Richie are neither black, nor gay (unless they are bi, which is possible). The notion Madonna is preoccupied with gays and blacks to the exclusion of straights is just HYPE/lies, nothing more. She has an interest in a variety of folks, howvewr casual. Bet she`d have made a good management engineer, more or less as good as her dad, if she hadn`t grown up more or less stereotypically feminine.
