“Me Against the Music” was released in October of 2003. Now that Madonna’s concerts have been rescheduled, she appears to want to have Britney Spears over for one out of her five Los Angeles performances. “Madonna originally wanted Britney to join her on tour this year,” said a source to Page Six. “Everything was pushed back because of her illness, but she still wants Britney to join her at the Kia Forum.”

Madonna was hospitalized in late June due to a bacterial infection, scaring the entertainment community at large. She stayed in the ICU for several days, and appears to have made a full recovery. She shared a post thanking her children and friends for all of the support they provided her when she needed it most. “When the chips were down my children really showed up for me,”she wrote on social media. “I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference.”
