More from the Vogue cover story on Contactmusic.com
Contacmusic keeps adding tidbits and previews from the August 2005 cover story of the American Vogue. Here’s a couple more, about Madonna‘s Tour documentary and about a memorable week-end with her friends at Ashcombe House.
“Pop superstar Madonna finds her 1991 documentary “Truth or Dare” difficult to watch nowadays, because she’s horrified by how “selfish” she was when she shot the film.
The Material Girl, who enjoys a more spiritual life since becoming a Kabbalah devotee, insists her days of wanting to be the centre of attention are truly behind her. She tells Vogue, “I was a very selfish person. You go through periods where the world does revolve around you, but you can’t live your whole life that way. On the other hand, I kind of admire my spunk and directness!”
Madonna plans to set the record straight today when she unveils her upcoming documentary “I’m Going To Tell You A Secret“, which showcases her Re-Invention Tour experiences around the world. She explains, “If I’m going to take people through a journey of my life, they are going to see all my journeys.”
Madonna will also show her detour to Israel to visit Rachel’s tomb as part of a Kabbalah experience. She adds, “I hope they will also be moved by it. The feeling in Israel is like no other place. I felt very comfortable there.”
“Coldplay star Chris Martin and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow teamed up with designer Stella NcCartney to poke fun at famous pal Madonna by mocking her “American Life” hit at a recent party.
Madonna invited her famous chums to her Ashcombe Manor home in rural England to celebrate her fourth wedding anniversary with director Guy Ritchie and asked them all to perform a song, a poem or a short acting performance.
Cheeky Martin and his wife rewrote the lyrics to American Life and renamed it “American Wife” – and performed it in the Ritchies’ living room.
Madonna recalls, “Gwyneth did fantastic rap and Stella sang background vocals and, well, Chris played the piano.”
Another musical interlude came when Sting performed on a lute and Madonna herself performed a scene from Restoration play “The Town Wench or Chastity Rewarded“.
The evening’s entertainment was designed by Madonna to relive the days of party loving photography legend Cecil Beaton, who lived at Ashcombe Manor in the 1930s.”
