Pop star Madonna is recovering after breaking several bones in a horse-riding accident on her country estate on Tuesday.
"I can tell you Madonna is doing well," the singer's spokeswoman said.
Madonna suffered three cracked ribs, a broken collarbone and a broken hand in the fall. A gamekeeper said she left her home by helicopter on Wednesday.
UK spokeswoman Barbara Charone also said the accident would not delay the release of her new album in November.
"Her LP is finished and is on course to come out in November with a single prior," she told the BBC News website.
The star is also expected to go on tour next summer.

Posted: 8/19/05 at 2:14pmWell, I was very pleased to read that. There's no need to be rude or prejudiced about people's weight and M used to be.

"I can be arrogant sometimes, but I never mean it intentionally. I can be really snotty to people but that's not anything new really. I always acted like a star long before I was one. If people don't see my sense of humor then I come off as being expensive, but I always endear myself to people when I find their weaknesses and they acknowledge it. It's the people who try to hide everything and try to make you think they're so cool that I can't stand."

Posted: 8/19/05 at 2:20pmSo basically, one should be open about one's hatred of heavy people? My prejudice is a weakness, it's not my fault!

Posted: 8/19/05 at 2:29pmSo, just a question: is the rampant anorexia in Hollywood a public denouncement of the overweight?

Let's explore this:
35 years ago an opera singer could be any size they wanted as long as they SANG WELL...
The plain fact is if you are a soprano with an fantastic voice and you are up for Mimi or Manon - it is made clear you MUST be a size 10 or lower or they will hire someone else - plain and simple - this was told to a friend last year..
"Great Voice - lose 25 pounds"
OPERA!!! Mind you!!!
so if it's this way in Opera - well.........

I think the evolution started 20 odd years ago with the explosion of video. Everything became about image (which Madge mastered so expertly).
When in history were there ever so many useless stylists to employ?
