Outtakes from the exclusive Us Weekly chat with Madonna


Us Weekly: In the spirit of rebel hearts, what was your ultimate “rebel” moment?
Madonna: The ultimate moment where I most felt like a rebel was in St. Petersburg, Russia [in 2012 during the MDNA Tour] when I was told they were going to arrest anyone who was openly or obviously gay and they came to my shows and I spoke out against the government. Eighty-seven people were arrested and I was fined like $1 million. They dropped the lawsuit, though. When I stood up for Pussy Riot was around the same time, but there have been a lot of those moments. I also think about when I was in Toronto and they said if I simulated masturbation during one of my shows [during the Blonde Ambition Tour in 1990] they would have me arrested and I was like, ‘F–k you! I’m doing it anyway. So arrest me.’ They didn’t in the end. Lots of those. Then there’s the Vatican when they said they would have me…you know, whatever! It goes on and on….
Us Weekly: Love the track on the album “Unapologetic Bitch” — so, who’s the biggest unapologetic bitch of them all?
Madonna: Kanye West is the biggest unapologetic bitch besides me.
Us Weekly: Anyone you’d like to apologize to, though?
Madonna: If I could apologize to one person, it would be…no one. I’m an unapologetic bitch!
Us Weekly: With two marriages and other high-profile relationships behind you, what’s your best relationship advice?
Madonna: My best piece of relationship advice is you can’t take it with you.
Us Weekly: You have so many classic, hit songs in your catalog — but do any other artists’ songs make you envious?
Madonna: I wish I had written and recorded a song called “Retrograde” by James Blake. I love him.
Us Weekly: What’s one of your biggest pet peeves?
Madonna: I can’t stand when I walk into a room and everyone’s not talking to each other and just on their phones.
Us Weekly: Favorite workout?
Madonna: My favorite workout is metabolic interval training on a Bosu Ball.
Us Weekly: What’s your favorite part about being a mother?
Madonna: The best thing about being a mom of four [Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 14, David and Mercy, both 9] is all of the life lessons they teach me all day long, every day of the week.
Us Weekly: What are the ultimate perks and downfalls of fame?
Madonna: The thing I love most about being famous is people listening to me when I have something important to say. The thing I like least about being famous is being overly scrutinized for everything I say and do.
Us Weekly: What’s your favorite book of all time?
Madonna: I’m obsessed with so many books that it’s impossible to name them all but I really love The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. So good.
Us Weekly: What’s your favorite moviemaking memory?
Madonna: My favorite scene that I ever filmed was singing “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” from the balcony of the Casa Rosada in Argentina [where the real Eva Peron once stood] during Evita. That was amazing. SO real and surreal. Bizarre

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not  the   best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...

Rolling Stone - June 13, 1991 - Flesh and Fantasy - Big Time Girl Talk with Carrie Fisher

Madonna and I had met many times over the years, but we had never actually had a conversation. It took this interview to bring us together – she as icon, I as inquisitor of icon [after all, I have already distinguished myself as friend of icon, relative of icon and ex-wife of icon]. I had never done an interview before, and I don’t know that I will again. For me, this has all the makings of a waterloo. The first of the two sessions for this interview took place in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Madonna wore gold lame; I probably wore black. The last session took place in the offices of her manager, Freddy DeMann. Madonna wore a negligee; I probably wore black. I was late for that first meeting because a friend who had AIDS and who was staying with me had suddenly developed a fever. I called Madonna to say I was on my way. “You’re late,” she informed me. I explained about my friend. “Well, okay, that’s a good excuse,” she said. By the time of our fina...
