LONDON - Queen of pop Madonna has been named UK’s most written-about celebrity of the entire decade.

According to a research by Kantar Media, the 52-year-old singer’s name has been mentioned in the British print media 46,000 times since 2000.

This was at least 15,000 more than second-placed Simon Cowell, reports the Daily Star.

Robbie Williams came third, while Kate Moss and Britney Spears followed in fourth and fifth positions respectively.
