Pop superstar Madonna has reached out to the victims of the recent earthquake in Italy - donating a substantial sum to the ongoing rescue effort in area where her "ancestors" are from.

The country's Abruzzo region was struck by tremors on Monday, killing over 200 people.

The town of Pacentro, where Madonna's paternal grandparents lived until 1919, was severely affected by the disaster, prompting the region's mayor to appeal to the singer for help.

And Madonna has responded by donating a $500,000 (£345,000) sum to the relief effort, according to People.com.

The star says in a statement, "I am happy to lend a helping hand to the town that my ancestors are from. My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones or their homes."

Good for her! She donated more than $50,000.

[GeronL]

That makes her 10 times the man that Obama is

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I was just going to say—she certainly gave more than Obama.

[DogBarkTree]

I cant stand the skank but salute her for this deed.

[FreepShop1]

10 times more than Obama!

Madonna for President!!!

kidding~but really, could it get any worse?

[LottieDah]

I can’t stand her either. I am glad she did a good deed for the earthquake victims.

[Tanniker Smith]

Kudos to her, and I don’t usually have much to say about her.

[steveo]

I thought she was going to send a crate of gold bullet bras...

[ArrogantBustard]

Thank you, Mizz Ciccone. Nothing like putting your own money where your mouth is. Commie leftists take note.

[Calusa]

She must’a took a bad hit in her P.R. ratings after her latest failed fashion accessory baby fiasco. Hey! It’s all good. Except me, yeah, I’m bad.

[pissant]

I’d take Madona over Ears for president in a heartbeat.

“The star says in a statement, “I am happy to lend a helping hand to the town that my ancestors are from.”

Odumbo will donate more when a natural disaster hits Kenya.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Did that 50K story turn out to be true?

Seems to have dropped off the news radar so I'm guessing it was.

I guess I'll have to give madmomma kudo's for her donation...at least she can fill her "Material Girl" suit.

[Fresh Wind]

That’s not fair to Obomba. He would have given much, much more if the earthquake was in Africa or an Arab country. He knows that white Europeans are rich and don’t need help.

[JimRed]

She’s been named one of O’Reilly’s pinheads a few times; maybe she gets to be a patriot this time.

[Sig Sauer P220]

I just wonder who’s money she’s using, being a lib and all.

[LottieDah]

The Malawi people turned down her “mercy adoption”. She is trying to show them how generous she is. Whatever her motivation, it is a good thing.

That’s not fair to Obomba. He would have given much, much more if the earthquake was in Africa or an Arab country. He knows that white Europeans are rich and don’t need help.

Barack Hussein Obama's pastor of 20 years (and the only man who brought him to Jesus) Jeremiah Wright famously said that it was white guys, wealthy "Eyetalians", who killed Jesus.

I am so ashamed of Obama right now.
