You know what Liz, this is where we part company and I think it’s because you have spent your life surrounded by and shoulder to shoulder (you lucky dog) with celebrities. I personally don’t give anyone a pass because of their wealth or status. I looked at the video again (because one of my friends who reads our site called me with the ubiquitous "how dare you talk smack about Madonna")

This is why I say she is a train wreck and please keep in mind we are all entitled to our own opinions.  How she came on the scene decades ago was disgusting. She was promiscuous beyond belief and flaunted it. I have no respect for women who use sex as a tool for success. She can not sing, but she was sexy, and in our world sex sells. She can dance and she does surround herself with those who can dance, so she puts on a great show. But…. I find it objectionable how she acquired the African kids she has. In my opinion she brought them just as she would a new purse. Small….in Black please…something that would look good on my arm… The perfect accessory.

She has jumped from religion to religion and yes I personally have a problem with her latest selection.  I have said this so much lately on this site, so forgive me for repeating myself but I do have a problem with women who become involved with younger men. I think it speaks volumes about their own internal insecurities. She was (and may still) clearly have am eating disorder because she was never this thin. Photos circulating on the net that show her looking emaciated are not doctored, she looks awful. Watch the video again Liz and look at her arms, they are like skeletons.

My gauge, if she lived next door to me and was not a celebrity, from just watching her life from a short distance would I find things she does, says, acts and behaves objectionable? Enough so to the point where I would say "and that woman has kids?" My honest answer would be she is nutty and yes…. a train wreck. I can remove the celebrity status when judging others actions Liz, the fact that she earned $450 million last year means very little to me. Britney Spears is also worth millions and I assure you if she were my neighbor I would and could say all of the same things about her as I do about Madonna. Sans the Black kids and fake British accent.

Liz—I know what you mean about picking up an accent.  I lived in Atlanta for a few years after college, and after that came back up the coast to my Yankee stomping grounds where everyone heard an accent except for me.  It showed up mainly in the way I pronounced my vowels—many found it charming—I found it puzzling.  When you are exposed to an accent, intensively over a period of years, it seeps into your unconscious.

I have loved Madonna ever since the first time I saw Desperately Seeking Susan; I must have watched that movie ten times.  I think Madonna looks damn great (I am jealous) for a woman of any age, and her dancing background shows through beautifully.  I saw a special many years back where the camera followed her as she prepared for her concert—forgive me I don’t remember the name—the one the Pope boycotted, and I admired her consistency in her dance discipline, and the way she treated her fellow dancers, such an incredible athlete.  Anything the Pope boycotts, makes me want to see it more.  As for her personal life, I think she has done many great things and is to be commended.
