Joan Rivers explains why Madonna wears gloves

Madonna has been sporting fingerless gloves at public events and Joan Rivers has offered an explanation as to why.

"She's not picking up the glove from Michael Jackson, she's trying to hide those wrinkly old hands. Believe me, you can hide a lot of things, but the hands always give it away," says Rivers, quoted by The Huffington Post. But I feel bad for Madonna -- whenever you are that successful you are controversial. People love to hate you. Look at Angelina Jolie: I have never met the bitch and I despise her," she continued.

Madonna has been wearing the gloves quite often, as the singer is rarely photographed in public without some type of glove covering her hands. The gloves even made an appearance at the Super Bowl press conference as well as the half time performance.

The Daily Mail points out that the sign of aging can be seen on a woman's neck and her hands. When Madonna attended the premiere of her new film, W.E., she wore a black dress complete with red fingerless gloves. She also concealed her neck from view.

Rivers has been rumored to have had over 739 plastic surgery procedures. Madonna has always stayed quiet about the topic, although it has not stopped speculations that she has had some work done.

Madonna reportedly has a strenuous health and fitness regime, which keeps her body in shape. This program however, will not stop the singer's hands from aging.
