We are not sure which piece of this news had us sit up to attention: one that Madonna owns a home in Dubai, or that she has dolphins swimming in her living room as entertainment.
In a week where the world has rallied around to save the fate of the 250 dolphins that were trapped in a cove in Taiji, Japan, fated to be slaughtered or sold to a life of imprisonment, Madonna grabs headlines once again in a controversial manner that has angered animal advocates around the globe.
The news came to the fore, when a profile of celebrity architect Joaquín Torres, revealed the plan and a rendering of Madonna’s new Dubai pad, complete with a dolphinarium in her living room.
Torres is best known to have designed the homes of high profile sporting stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and a majority of the Real Madrid team; also, let’s not forget styling the plush villa for Hollywood’s golden couple Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem.
However, as news of Madonna sprawling new Dubai home failed to meet the standards of most environmentalists, the diva’s rep was quick to type up a comment that claimed this entire episode reeked of slime.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton carried a statement by the Grammy winner’s rep, which simply said: “Despite reports to the contrary, Madonna does not own a home in Dubai with dolphins.”
