Madge Opens Up
The Daily Record and the Daily Star are among the newspapers who feature a story today about the upcoming Madonna interview with Micheal Parkison airing next Sunday and reports one of the favourite quotes from the show we told about to our readers the other day: “Maybe I’m a gay man in a woman’s body”.
“The 47-year old singer, who is the only guest on Saturday night’s show, also claims she had mellowed with age, revealing she loves being a wife and mum and even admits to having her “big fat ego” under control.
When Parky asked why the singer had become such a huge gay icon, she replies: “They didn’t have a problem with my Sex book. Maybe I’m a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.”
In the past, Madonna has flirted with bisexuality and was the “groom” to Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears’s “brides” at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003. The superstar also fills Parky in on the secret of her successful marriage to film director Guy Ritchie saying: “You do have to learn to say ‘I’m sorry’, even when you don’t mean it. It really gets you a long way, OK? Just a little secret for everybody.”
But Madonna knows what her limits are when she’s in the pub with Guy. When Parkinson asked if she drinks a lot of her favourite British tipple, she said: “I can’t drink more than a pint – actually I’m a half a pinter. If I drink a pint then… erm… then… just erm.”
Madonna also claims to have cut down on her legendary tantrums and says: “I’m a dramatic person and I probably had some spectacular tantrums. But not now, I’m more in control of my big fat ego.”
