Ex mobster Chris Paciello asks former flame Madge for bail money

New York, Aug 20 : Chris Paciello, the Brooklyn-mobster-turned-Miami-club-king, asked former flame Madonna for bail money after his arrest in L.A.

However, a representative for Madonna couldn't confirm that Paciello had pleaded the popstar to front him 50,000 dollars after he was busted on felony assault charges for allegedly beating up a man in West Hollywood.

However, a friend of Paciello helped him make bail, reports the New York Daily News.

However, a source said Paciello is now 'freaking out,' for he believes that the arrest could scuttle his plans to open two restaurants and that he could end up back behind bars.

Besides Madonna, he has been linked in the past with Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez and Niki Taylor.
