Madonna — The perennial diva is cited as a strict mother in an upcoming issue of In Touch magazine, with sources saying Mama Madonna is quite strict on her young daughter Lourdes, reportedly nixing any dyeing of hair and dating for the high school freshman. Sources say that the singer doesn’t want her daughter to turn out like she did — a ridiculously powerful, filthy rich celebrity with everything she’s ever wanted in her life.
