Check out these photos ... U.S. Army soldiers were seen patrolling around MSG on Wednesday, with all signs pointing to security ramping up ahead of the couple's star-studded, 1,000-person wedding celebration.

Madonna laid it all out in her new album "Confessions II" ... and it sounds like she's taking savage, surprising shots at her ex-husband Sean Penn.

To be clear ... Madonna doesn't use Sean's name ... but the lyrics "movie star, deep blue eyes," along with other obvious hints, sure make it sounds like she is singing about Spicoli.
