Madonna's brother Anthony Ciccone told the media that he is homeless and has found his shelter under a bridge in Michigan after losing his job more than a year ago.

"My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time," Anthony Ciccone told The Michigan Messenger.

"You think I haven't answered this kind of question a bazillion times? Why my sister is a multibazillionarie, and I'm homeless on the street?" added 55-year-old Ciccone who claims he is living under a bridge in Traverse City.

 "Never say never. This could happen to anybody," Ciccone continued. "I don't have any income, I've got to go collect bottles and cans, do odd jobs."

Madonna has not been reached for a comment.

According to Forbes, Madonna's net worth in October 2010 was estimated at $US58 million.

Lady Gaga has always been compared to the "Queen of Pop" Madonna because of these few basic similarities - blonde, provocative outfits, incredibly globally famous, and dance music.

Recently, Gaga's hit "Born This Way" was also heavily accused of being a rip off of Madonna's "Express Yourself". However, the two divas have never feuded although Gaga admitted Madonna as a huge influence.

Now, new evidence conclude that Gaga and Madonna are actually distant cousins. As reported by MailOnline, celebrity genealogist Christ Child told Boston Globe that they are "ninth cousins once removed" after the specialist tracked the French Canadian families 'back 200 years within minutes.'

So there's nothing to compare really because they're born that way, eh! :D
