TLC's latest episode of My Strange Addiction ended last night with an unusual triumph when a male Madonna impersonator finally gave up on his damaging obsession. Adam Guerra, 27, from Los Angeles, California, has devoted 12 years, endured 18 surgeries, and spent more than $175,000 in his quest to emulate the legendary pop queen; a passion he admits has slid into an addiction. During the episode, his boyfriend Michael, unable to endure Adam's Madonna fixation any longer, delivers him a frank ultimatum, stating: 'I want to date a boy. I don't want to date a 56-year-old woman.' Scroll down for video
