Russian mafia threaten to kidnap Madonna and her kids

British director Guy Ritchie is a worried man these days, for Russian gangsters have threatened to kidnap his superstar wife Madonna, and their two kids.

The Russians apparently don't want the Moscow concert of the queen of pop's controversial Confessions world tour to go forward, and are willing to go to extreme lengths to put a spoke in her plans.

And, in their attempt to do so, they have sent her management a series of sinister warnings that Madonna and her two kids could be kidnapped.

However, despite her hubby and tour manager Chris Lamb being worried sick, the 'Material GirlBut Madge is not one to cower.

"Madonna is well aware of the kidnap threats but she is brave and even a little nonchalant when it comes to her own safety. Guy is seriously concerned and has made it clear that security has to be tightened, just to be on the safe side," The Sun quoted a source, as saying.

"Madonna doesn't anticipate any problems herself but Guy isn't convinced. Her tour director, Chris, has been on edge after being informed about the threats. He has made changes to security to increase the protection around her on tour," the source added. (ANI)
