Madonna's hometown: Let us honor you!

Madonna may have a chart-topping single, a $120 million deal with Live Nation and a permanent place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but there’s one thing she doesn’t have: A key to the city of Bay City, Mich. Community leaders hope to change that, however, formally inviting their favorite native daughter back home to accept “the highest honor that Bay City can offer,” Mayor Charles M. Brunner wrote in the invitation, according to the Bay City Times. “We have always been proud of your accomplishments.” Really? Back in the '80s, the city shunned the Material Materialist because they didn’t think she had what it took to be a huge star. Funny what a couple of decades being the biggest female musician on the planet will do for your rep. In a line so straight-laced it made us laugh out loud, E! Online reported: “There was no immediate comment from Madonna’s publicist.” No, really?
