It's raining men Madge!

Madonna took a sudden tumble during last night's show in Rio de Janeiro. Rocking heart-shaped shades on a slippery stage, the pop queen was up one minute and down the next (or, if you're watching the YouTube clip, it happens around the 35-second mark).

Ever the professional, her Madgesty attempted an unconvincing about-face and writhed around on the ground as if she meant to be there.

This is the second slipup in recent months for Madonna—she went down in Portugal in mid-September. With the dissolution of her marriage to Guy Ritchie and her (still-unacknowledged) romance with Alex Rodriguez, perhaps her balance isn't what it used to be.
