It’s difficult to believe that Madonna is now 65 years old. It feels like only yesterday that the Queen of Pop burst onto the scene, and ever since she’s been entertaining millions of people the world over every year.
At present, Madonna is on her much-anticipated Celebration Tour, having recovered from the nasty bacterial infection that left her hospitalized earlier this year.
Recent snaps of the Like a Virgin singer were met with widespread praise among her legion of fans, as the 65-year-old continues to prove that age is just a number… and that she’s far from done with regards to being a prominent force in the music industry.
Fans were right to be concerned earlier this year in summer, when Madonna was suddenly hospitalized.
Initial reports were worrying enough, but it soon became apparent that her health scare was even more grave than first thought.
The Queen of Pop had been set to embark on her highly anticipated Celebration Tour in Vancouver on July 15 – which would have seen her perform her best hits from 1983 to now in 53 shows across North America and Europe – but was forced to postpone it after she was rushed to hospital with a bacterial infection.
Initial reports revealed Madonna had been found unresponsive on Saturday, June 24, and was subsequently to a New York City hospital where she was intubated.
Not long after, a relative of the Grammy winning artist told Entertainment Tonight that her family had been “preparing for the worst” after the news first broke. “For the past couple of days, no one really knew which direction this was going to turn, and her family was preparing for the worst,” they said.
“That is why it was kept a secret since Saturday,” they added. “Everyone believed that we may lose her, and that has been the reality of the situation.”
Radar Online, meanwhile, revealed that Madonna’s stint in hospital was more severe than initially thought – medics who treated the unresponsive star at her apartment were reportedly forced to administer a NARCAN injection.
Fortunately, the singer was eventually released from hospital and could continue her recovery at home. Her aforementioned Celebration Tour is now in full swing, with the Vogue star gaining widespread praise for her looks after uploading a series of photos from her tour.
According to reports, the Paris, France leg of Madonna’s tour attracted particular attention, with fans showering her with compliments. One even dubbed her “the most beautiful woman in the world.”
One person wrote on Twitter: “How is this woman sixty five years old? Please share your secrets with us and your filter. QUEEN ??“
Another wrote: “You look like a woman of 35 years old”
A third added: “THE most famous woman ever in front of a lens. Still the most exotic, most beguiling thing I’ve ever seen ❤️?“
Famous fashion designer Donatella Versace, meanwhile, praised her long time friend as being “the most beautiful”.

The Blonde Bikini Bombshell: Whatever Happened to Bo Derek?
Children of the 1970s hold dear memories of Bo Derek.With her trademark golden hair, piercing blue eyes, and braided hairstyles that banished any bad associations, she was one of the most gorgeous bombshells of her day. Since her brief moment of fame, a lot of people have been interested in learning more about her life, including where she ended up, why she stopped acting, and what her present circumstances are. Check out what Bo is doing these days.
Bo Derek’s Formative Years
Before she was known as Bo Derek, Mary Cathleen Collins was born on November 20, 1956, in Long Beach, California. Working-class parents reared Mary in a conventional American home. Her mother was a cosmetics artist, while her father was a sales executive. When Mary was a teenager, she was very interested in two things. She loved horses and was first and foremost a passionate horsewoman. She would proudly display her talents as she competed in numerous contests. She loved performing as well. She chose to enroll in acting classes in order to hone such skills.
Bo made an appearance in the 1977 film Orca. A large killer whale was seen biting off her leg in this Jaws-like movie. Her real ascent to fame, however, was primarily credited to Blake Edwards’ 1979 film “10.” Her distinctive blond braided hair began to stick out at this stage. After this one, she didn’t pursue a career in action-packed, risk-taking films. Among these were the movies “Ghosts Can’t Do It” (1990), “Bolero” (1984), and “Tarzan, The Ape Man” (1981).
partnership with John Derek
Bo first made the director John Derek, who would eventually become her husband, when she was just 16 years old. At the time, she was married to Linda Evans. It was only after a few years that they began dating. But in order to avoid the strict American regulations, they had to go to Mexico and Europe while Bo was still a child.
Soon later, John and Bo Derek tied the knot at the ages of 48 and 19, respectively. In an interview with Interview Magazine, Bo stated that she frequently felt guilty when Linda was around.I was at least partly to blame for some significant agony Linda Evans endured, according to Bo. She had been really thoughtful and courteous. Remarkably, I didn’t see her until yesterday. We were at a jewelry trunk show for charity. She was still as wonderful and delightful as ever. I always feel like sh*t when I’m with her. It’s still very much ingrained even years later.
Following that, John and Bo Derek began collaborating on projects. John would persuade her to show off her body in an effort to add some spice to his low-budget productions. This brought attention to his movies, but mostly to Bo because he was a well-known figure in Hollywood.
John Derek Was the Source of Her Braided Hairstyle Inspiration
John Derek designed the braided style for her most famous movie, “10,” although he did not direct or create it. He suggested that Bo show Blake some of his photos so that the man could judge them based on their appearance. She most certainly did. It was the late 1970s, and I asked, “How are you going to change the way you look since everything was fluffy and I’m blonde?” Bo Derek said, “I’ve always thought that would be a terrific look for me; John is a fantastic photographer.””And we tried it out. “Why don’t you show Blake these photos and see if he’ll be interested?” he said at that point. It would look great on you and be quite appropriate for the role.
Unfortunately, in 1998, John Derek passed away from a cardiovascular disease. He was seventy-one years old when he died. Bo stated that after his death, she never imagined that she would reestablish contact with anyone. The loss had devastated her.
Bo Derek, the Equestrian and Humanitarian
Bo Derek’s early passion for horseback riding seems to take precedence over her later years of fame. Even though Bo’s acting career was at its pinnacle, she made the decision to give it up. Instead, she became an activist and supporter of animal welfare. She worked very hard to protect and preserve the animals.
Bo Derek is not simply an animal lover. She also received an honorary appointment from the VA as the National Rehabilitation Special Events chair.Derek states that “VA’s National Rehabilitation Special Events promote the healing of body and spirit, which helps veterans improve their independence and live higher quality lives.” “I am deeply honored and moved to serve as the honorary chair of a truly noble cause on behalf of America’s veterans once again.”
Bo is currently married to John Corbett, the star of “Sex in the City.” They have been together for more than 20 years. They decided not to make any public announcements about their desire to marry in secret, in front of just their closest friends and family.
