Madonna is reportedly considering pushing back her 50th birthday party until the end of August after twisting her ankle.

Madonna, who turns 50 on Saturday, August 16, is reportedly considering postponing her 50th birthday bash after twisting her ankle. The 49-year-old was previously planning to host a lavish birthday party at her Wiltshire estate for select guests. A source told Mirror, "Unfortunately not everything has gone as expected as she's had many other things on her mind - not least rehearsals for her 'Sticky & Sweet' tour."

"On top of all the stress of this, she twisted her ankle over the weekend. She views this as a sign that perhaps she should postpone the formal birthday bash and play it by ear instead," Mirror quoted the source as saying. And it seems that the singer is concerned about keeping fit for her "Sticky & Sweet" tour, thus probably pushing back the party until the end of August. "Madonna now reckons it'll go ahead during a three-day break in the tour towards the end of the month, not next weekend," added the source.

For her 50th birthday, Madonna is said to hold the "traditional and British" themed celebrations. "Guy wants it to be traditional and British. He has already ordered crate-loads of real ales," the source revealed. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, and Trudie Styler are among guests allegedly invited to the party. "Everyone else will be immediate friends and family, plus a few people from Malawi that Madonna will be flying out. A few of her Kabbalah associates are also expected and Madonna's made sure that only Kabbalah water will be served," the source told Mirror.

Her hubby Guy Ritchie has even prepared a special gift for the "American Pie" singer. Guy have secretly commissioned graffiti artist Banksy to paint a portrait of Madonna for her 50th birthday.
