21. Madonna

You might not be able to picture the material girl cage side at a UFC fight — but that’s exactly where she sat during the historic UFC 205 fight card in New York City (wedged between Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron too). In fact, the photos of her and Efron having the time of their life might have almost stolen the show — almost.

Though we don’t normally see her at events (it’s Madonna after all) it’s pretty clear she’s a true fight fan. Efron reportedly said, “She was calling out things about the fight,” when he was on the  Jimmy Kimmel Show. Her ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, is also often spotted sitting cage side at UK based fight cards.

Madonna was recently criticized for her tribute to Aretha Franklin during the MTV Video Music Awards when the speech she gave seemed to gear more towards herself than the late great Queen of soul.

She hasn’t released an album since her 2015 release of “Rebel Heart” but she has said that a new record is set for release by the end of 2018.

“I’ve just met lots of really amazing musicians, and I’ve ended up working with a lot of these musicians on my new record, so Lisbon has influenced my music and my work,” Madonna told Vogue Italia. Rumor has it that Ariana Grande may even be featured on the record, but Madonna has yet to confirm this.
