Madonna "Girl Gone Wild" Audio
Madonna's newest single from "MDNA" dropped Monday. "Girl Gone Wild" is a song about, well, a girl gone wild. With lyrics like "I got that burnin' hot desire/ And no one can put out my fire/ It's coming right down through the wire/ Here it comes/ When I hear them 808 drums/ It's got me singing" it is clear the song is dance beat.

The latest celebrity to fall victim to a death hoax on Twitter is the pop diva, Madonna. Tweets saying "RIP Madonna" have been trending on Twitter for some time now and, predictably, has evoked varied responses.

Some of her fans were shocked on seeing the tweets; they must have been relieved to know it was only a hoax.

There is speculation the hoaxes started because her latest album - "Gimme All Your Luving" - did not come up to expectations. The titile song is expected to drop out of the Top 40 charts this week.

Madonna had performed this song for the Super Bowl half time show.

Meanwhile, a few of her fans believe this hoax was started by Lady Gaga's fans.

"RIP is for Really Inspiring Person for Madonna," A hard core Madonna fan was quoted as saying.

A few of the responses to "RIP Madonna" on Twitter are:
