Madge: Hands off my diaries!

Dear Diary: I wonder what would happen if you – my dearest diary – were to fall into the wrong hands. That’s the dilemma Madonna has faced ever since a 12-volume set of notebooks, supposedly the journals she kept between 1987 and 1996, went on sale on eBay last month – with a starting bid of $2.5 mil.

Madge isn’t afraid anymore: TMZ says her reps have persuaded eBay to pull the diaries, arguing that the singer is the rightful owner.
