Madonna Bares a Nipple on Stage in Istanbul: And the PR Train Keeps Rolling

Madonna knows how to get publicity, and she’s using all the tricks in her book. On  stage in Istanbul  this week, she purposely bared a nipple. The result is a viral video. After the nipple is presented, she turns her back to the crowd. And on her back is a tattoo (stenciled, hopefully) that reads: “No Fear.” You gotta give her credit. First it was the Lady Gaga cover and “She’s not me.” Now this. There’s going to have to be a p.r. stunt once a week through the summer as Madonna tours the world and approaches America. It’s kind of enthralling. With the “MDNA” album gone, Madge has to keep stoking the fires. I love the look on her face, too, when she completes her own “wardrobe malfunction.”

Warning: this is not for the kiddies:
