MTV.com has summarized a few points Madonna makes in a 2006 issue of "Elle" magazine:

MTV.com On The Record

A few observations about the MTV article below...

Madonna again repeats some of what she's read me say here at the board, about the time I said that when she dies and stands before God, God is not going to be concerned or impressed by the number of records she's sold, so she might want to start basing her life on things that actually matter (as opposed to things that don't, such as fame, power, money).

Next up, I'd like to know what Camille Paglia (and other feminists) think about Madonna admitting that she's spent much of her life trying to win men's approval (including but not limited to that of her own father).
  • Part of the reason Madonna keeps in such good shape is that she's afraid of getting fat, she reveals in the February issue of Elle, on stands Thursday. (<a href='http://java script: popFlipById('1519925');' target='_blank'>Check out photos here</a>.)

    "I wish I were comfortable enough to look zaftig," she told the mag, "but I choose men who like carved-out women, the can-you-run-for-the-bus kind of guy. I'm naturally inclined toward men like that."

    The singer traces her desire to win men over back to her relationship with her father, who she said doesn't get excited about much of anything. "A good part of my life was spent trying to wow him, to get his approval," she said.

    Even so, she doesn't think her fame will help any man in her life, especially the big guy upstairs. "In the big picture, it means very little," Madonna said. "At the end of my life, God doesn't give a sh--." ...

She should just be honest and say that she thinks fat people are gross. That whole 'I'm attracted to men who like women who look like anorexic bodybuilders' is a weak excuse.

Elle Magazine interview, hosted on fan site

I wonder why this mentions what hotel this interview took place in? In case Madonna damaged the hotel room with her cooties the bill would go to Madonna (rather than to the journalist or to Elle magazine) from the hotel for fumigation purposes? :confused:

A few excerpts from the Elle interview:
  • Madonna Forever - The Woman Behind The Star

    This interview took place at the"Mandarin Oriental" hotel in London, suite 220-222.


    - No, to your celebrity.

    When you grow up in this world, when you are a star, when you do entertainment, nobody is telling you that all this is only an illusion and that, in the end, means nothing. Nobody explains to you that it's a temporary happiness.

    On the contrary, they push you to ask more. And they give you more. At this moment, you are trapped because you are thinking that it's true, that it's reality. The only way to survive to all this is to get out of it. That's the story.
Why should anyone have to explain any of that to her? It should be self-evident by the time you're 21 years old that fame and fortune can't buy you happiness - unless you're very, very arrogant and immature, but it should still hit you by the time you are 30 years old. I had it figured out by the time I was 8 or 9, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Anyway, back to the interview:
  • - I guess that it took time to get to this conclusion.

    Yes, a lot of time. To have children, get married, discover a life more spiritual helped me to see what is important and true. The mistake, it's to think that you are the start of everything around you. If you think that you are the Creator, you are dead. I know that I'm not the owner of my talent. I am "the manager". And if I manage it well, it will continue to circulate. Like money.

    - Is it Kabbalah which learns that ?

    Kabbale is coming from the word "Kebel" which means receive. Kabbalah says that everything you do, everything you say, has an impact on the world. Once you realised this, you become more responsable. You think twice before doing something, and all your vision of life is changed.

    - You are initiating your children ?
    Yes, I say to my daughter that she has two voices above her head. The "bad guy" who is, to resume, our ego. And the "good guy", who is connected to the others. I explain to her that when she is not nice with someone, it's like she is not nice with herself. I try to teach her simple things.
How about taking your kid to Sunday School, where she'll learn the Golden Rule - 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' It would be a lot cheaper, you wouldn't have to donate a fortune to Berg.

More from the interview:
  • - That should not be easy to be Madonna's daughter... nor her husband, moreover !

    No. But I think that Guy [Ritchie, the director] knows that all is happening around him is the result of what he is doing and not the reason. I am experimenting celebrity since more time than my husband and I did more provocative things. Now that he is doing it too, I tell him :

    "So, what is it to push people ? What is it to make them furious ? You know what I'm through now." But I have a lot of respect and compassion for his way to get along with this.

    - Do you have regrets ?

    Not one. I only have hopes.
But she has said in some interviews that she regrets her "sexy past."

She has been vilified for her increasingly gaunt and sinewy appearance. But today Madonna reveals the motivation for the gruelling diet and exercise regime she puts herself through - men.

The 47-year-old singer admitted that, if left to her own devices, she would prefer to be plumper but all the males in her life have preferred to see her taut and toned.

"I wish I were comfortable enough to look zaftig," she says, using the Yiddish term for "pleasingly plump". "But I choose men who like carved-out women, the 'can you run for the bus' kind of guy."

Madonna had a stormy marriage with Sean Penn, 45, before marrying director Guy Ritchie, 37. Last week there were reports highlighting her closeness to 28-year-old Stuart Price, who produced her Confessions On A Dancefloor album.

She tells Elle magazine that the reason she was willing to work on her body to please her partners was a legacy of her childhood, when she struggled to make her father Tony Ciccone proud of her.

"A good part of my life was spent trying to wow him, to get his approval," she recalls.

The mother of two, who had a curvy figure when she shot to fame in the Eighties, is known by her stage dancers as "the bionic body". Her daily routine includes three hours of high-intensity yoga, Pilates, swimming or karate, pumping iron and either running, cycling or horse-riding. She also uses a step machine in her office when she takes telephone calls.

After recent photographs raised fears she had been overdoing it, this disco-inspired image - taken to promote her new single, Sorry, on 20 February - shows Madonna is fit and well.

She reaffirms her dedication to Kabbalah, saying she turned her back on Catholicism because it is not "consoling" and is "all just laws and prohibitions".

She adds: "I hope by the time it's my moment to leave the world physically, I'll have gotten my head around the idea that life is an endless cycle."

The full interview is in the March issue of Elle, out on Wednesday.

Oh, boo freakin' hoo. Yes Madonna, blame your problems and insecurities on everyone else in your life instead of resting the blame where it belongs -- yourself. If you were such a self-possessed woman as you and Miss Mouthpiece claim you are, you'd be telling those shallow guys to get bent. Instead, you kiss butt and conform to an unrealistic image that you helped create in the first place.

...Guh, this woman pisses me off with her stupidity.

I SO agree. She can't take responsibility for anything, can she?

By the way, great mini-essay!

Thank you.

I think the day she takes responsibility for something is the day the world will come to an end.
