Before there was Paris, Lindsay or Britney, there was Madame! The world’s most infamous diva is back in all her glory with a new man on her arm, Joe Kovacs, and the same biting wit that has made her a cultural icon. Having never shied away from telling it like it is, Madame’s new show, It’s Madame with an E!, promises “something new, something borrowed, and something oh-so-very blue.”
