Madonna weight loss claims denied

Madonna's agent has denied claims that her client has suffered dramatic weight loss.

Reports have recently surfaced suggesting that Madonna's health had taken a turn for the worse amid the pressures of preparing for her tour and the speculation surrounding her marriage to Guy Ritchie.

The popstar's agent Liz Rosenberg told People: "I saw Madonna two days before at her rehearsal and she looked amazing - glowing skin and working really hard on her show.

"She may look a little thinner than usual, but she was dancing and singing better than ever and ate a nice healthy meal."

Rosenberg also suggested that a recent photograph showing Madonna looking tired may have been doctored: "I just think the photographer got a bad shot of her or it was touched up to make her look bad."
