Madonna Dumps Her Fitness Guru  Madonna |
Pop Diva Madonna has fired her personal trainer after the fitness guru reportedly refused to accompany the superstar on the second leg of her recent European tour.
The Holiday hitmaker has been working with Tracy Anderson for three years, and credited her with helping perfect her super-toned physique.
But the singer was upset when Anderson, who also trains Gwyneth Paltrow, couldn't agree to travel with the star on the final leg of her Sticky & Sweet world tour, which concluded in Israel last month (Sep09).
New York Post gossip column PageSix claims Anderson turned the job down so she could spend more time with her new boyfriend, Philippe van den Bossche - the former head of Madonna's Raising Malawi charity.
A source tells the publication, "Madonna had grown tired of the baggage that Tracy always seemed to be carrying with her. Tracy had grown to be more of a distraction than anything else."
Anderson's representative have confirmed the pair is no longer working together, but blamed the split on the trainer's dedication to her young son.
Anderson's publicist says, "This is not true. After working together for three years, Tracy and Madonna mutually parted ways because Tracy wanted to look after her son."
