Madonna Has Received 100 Copies Of The Horror `It`

The '4 Minutes' singer has been inundated with DVDs of the famous film since it was reported last week her ex-husband Guy Ritchie refers to her by the insulting term.

A source said: "She's received the packages at all of her addresses so she suspects they are from somebody she knows. And she is furious."

Madonna has also received 50 copies of the novel by Stephen King, which is about a child murdering clown.

The source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It's been said that Guy compared her to Pennywise the clown, the evil monster with the dodgy make-up. But now her homes are full of reminders and she doesn't know how to get rid of them."

The 40-year-old 'RocknRolla' director and Madonna, 50, announced they were divorcing last October after nearly eight years of marriage.

Last week, it was revealed that Guy used the offensive name even before the couple split.

A source said: "Even towards the end of their marriage, he would call her 'It'. He told people, 'We can't make 'It' angry'. Or Guy would say, 'Oh, It' is in a bad mood today'. There is absolutely no love lost between them."

They were granted a decree nisi in a London High Court last November but still remain embroiled in a bitter custody battle over the two sons they raise together, Rocco, eight and adopted David, three.

A US court hearing about custody of the children is scheduled for next month.
