On Turning Fifty

Filed under: Madonna

Madonna has begun promoting her new album, Hard Candy, which comes out on April 29th.

The Queen of Pop held a Q&A with journalists from around the world on Thursday, and one topic that kept coming back up in conversation was her upcoming birthday.

"It's not a bad word, you can say it," she said when one reporter whispered "5-0."

And when the same reporter asked her about reaching "a landmark for a lady," she made the journalist clarify that to it's "a landmark for everybody."

Madge said she doesn't see turning 50 as a milestone.

"No, but everybody else keeps mentioning it," she said. "I see it as another excuse to have a birthday party."

In fact, Madonna said physically, "I feel stronger now than, maybe, 20 years ago — but I think your physicality is connected to your consciousness so if your mind is strong, your body will be strong."

And there you have it!

Think about your grandmother or mother singing hip hop and dressing like she's 20. She's only going the hip hop way because that's the only shit really selling. You're an old hag and need to quit, Madonna. Bitch has more money than God.

A 50 yr old that smokes and drinks her whole life looks like that. That lady looks like she's 70! As an aside, Madonna looks GREAT! Although, I wish she didn't get so much work done. Nothing wrong with growing old gracefully.

She doesn't look a year older than 72!

Hidden in a closet somewhere in Northern England is a portrait of a 29-year-old Madonna that gets younger, year after year.

Wintour says – reply to this

75

Nat says – reply to this

76

Yeah Right… As much as people might say turning fifty is no big deal, it really is… Secretly she probably wishes to be 20 gain, so I don't know why she feels the need to lie. Overall though, I love Madonna and she still has a great body… that's something to be thankful for.

Jennifer sex says – reply to this

Madonna is the last great pop star still around. The music world would be boring without her. Janet, Mooriah, Whitney, Britney, and all the other wannabes suck compared to Madonna. No other recording artist has sustained such a level of success for so long as Madonna has!! She is a one of a kind legend and icon and NOTHING will ever take that away from her. THE BEST!!!
