UK stars pay tribute to Madonna
Davina McCall and Graham Norton have led the tributes by British celebrities as Madonna celebrates her 50th birthday.
Madonna has reached her half century but the queen of pop shows no signs of relinquishing her crown.
The singer has a knack for constant reinvention, from her sex book and kissing Britney Spears, to becoming a children's author and raising awareness about the devastating effects of HIV in Malawi.
According to Guinness World Records, she is the most successful female solo artist, selling around 120 million albums and 40 million singles.
Her spokeswoman was keeping tight-lipped about exactly how Madonna will be celebrating, only confirming she was in the UK at the moment.
Davina McCall said Madonna is a great woman and if she wasn't working as a presenter she would be stalking her.
In recent years Madonna has had to face rumours of marriage difficulties with film director husband Guy Ritchie, as well as controversy over her adoption of Malawian child David Banda.
The singer has two other children, a son, Rocco, and a daughter named Lourdes.
