Madonna shocks with her super skinny frame

Madonna pursuit to acquire the perfect body has backfired.

London: Madonna is famous for her grilling fitness regime but it seems that her pursuit to acquire the perfect body has backfired. The 50-year-old star shocked onlookers as she stepped out here wearing a short-sleeves top revealing her arms. Her fresh faced appearance was clearly in contrast with her protruding muscles and thick bulging veins, visible through her ageing and wrinkled skin, the Daily Mail reported.

The `Material Girl`s punishing regime, including two-hours of workouts, six days a week, is legendary but it seems that she has taken it too far with no fat on her body and her arms having a skeletal look. The singer is said to have undergone numerous cosmetic alterations in the quest for youthfulness. She is also believed to have had cheek implants, which seems to be the secret behind her young face. The procedure, dubbed the `pillow face`, gives a plumped-up look, as opposed to the pinched back `wind tunnel` results of a face-lift or the `frozen` effects of Botox. The singer is back in London with her children -- Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, David Banda, 3, and new addition Mercy James, 4, after travelling around Europe for her `Sticky And Sweet` tour. Bureau Report
