Former Billboard Editor Larry Flick revealed on the Sirius Satellite show radio show "OutQ" that Madonna's new album will be titled Licorice, and various media outlets such as Perez Hilton following his lead with this information.

BUT, he was wrong. It seems that DJ Larry Flick may have been psyched out by a fan-made album cover that's been floating around the internet since August.

Talented artist Robster had made the fake cover and called the album Licorice - so unless Madonna has started to name her albums after being inspired by her fans artwork then the suggested album title (which is now all over the internet as confirmed in various news reports) is probably not true....but fans did like the name!

Above is a look at the FAKE fan made cover that maybe confused the press.

Madonna has angered animal rights activists by dyeing her sheep in different colors. The multiple Grammy and Golden Globe award winner dyed the sheep on her country estate in blue, pink, yellow, and green for a photo shoot in Vogue magazine.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or RSPCA says the incident is an "irresponsible publicity stunt" and it would provoke more similar incidents.

"Why is it necessary and what are they trying to prove?" The RSCPA spokesperson questioned Madonna's recent animal-related activity. "It sends out the wrong message about how to use animals. Even if the dye is safe for the animals, others might copy it with an unsafe dye."

The 49-year-old singer and her husband Guy Ritchi clarify the event by saying they were just paying homage to famous fashion and portrait photographer Cecil Beaton who used to live in their Ashcombe estate in Wiltshire during the 1930s-40s.
