Madge uses the machine twice a week and faithfully records her thigh measurements to make sure she's on target and "flips out if it increases any as little as one quarter of an inch."
Madonna is so fixated on her cellulite that it has destroyed her relationship with her longtime exercise guru, Tracy Anderson.
"Tracy grew to dread the early-morning phone calls from Madonna ranting about what a useless trained she was," according to one of Tracy's pals."Madonna would threaten to fire her, and Tracy had to talk her down each time."
