On Turning Fifty

Filed under: Madonna

madge1.jpg

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!

    This is scary pic. I know this isn't Madonna…but it's just scary. It's like a deccaying man wearing a blond wig.

  15. YES! PEREZ SCORES FOR SHOWING HER OLD ASS FACE AS SHE REALLY IS!!! says – reply to this


    215

    I know this is *slightly* photoshopped but this is how I think of her now anyway. The more the tries to act young, the older I think she is (by overcompensating). She is an old-ass ugly hag who needs to hang it up already. No one wants to see a 50-yr old in leotards, except the gays.

  16. jacquie says – reply to this

    If we go by the picture you posted of Madonna, 50 is the new 80.

    Madonna, do something different and cool and age naturally please.

  21. Larry says – reply to this


    221

    The age of 50 is still a form of youthfulness, and it's also a time when life begins to get a little easier, most of the fits and fevers of the first half of life having died down quite a bit, leaving some space to do a little clear thinking for the first time Madonna has arrived at this point, and she can just allow herself a second piece of birthday cake to celebrate.

    Madonna is GOD! She is so amazing and the best ever. I feel sorry for people that hate on her because they are missing out. What other artist offers their fans so much in terms of creativity?

    MADONNA WILL ROCK AT 50! MADONNA WILL ROCK AT 60! MADONNA WILL ALWAYS ROCK!!!

    EW. DOES SHE REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT?

  52. MBM says – reply to this


    252

    You cannot even mention Janet Jackson, Britney Spears or Mariah Carey in the same sentence as Madonna. She is definately a rung or two above the rest as an artist. She is the queen of pop and has sold more and done more than all of those so called divas combined. I would love to see an age-enhanced photo of Janet and Mariah or even better them without their makeup. We've already seen what Britney looks like without her makeup EWWW!

  53. Vince says – reply to this

    That cannot be her…

    Cheap bitch!!!!!!!!!!

  66. WATCH OUT TOMORROW PEREZ!!! says – reply to this


    266

    OMFG — You are actually trying to piss off Madonna when you work in the entertainment industry. Trust me P. you better stay inside for awhile. She's the last bitch I would take on,, I would take on 3 trannies in a streetfight before messing with M. Best of luck,,you're phone will probably turn off, along with electricity, internet, etc……. She'll probably come after your little dog too. Go see, the Wizard before some monkeys come flying at you and take you and your dog away.

    267

    Mandonna's fans (the few that are left) are deeply troubled people. I would say that out of all fans they are the sickest and bitchy not to mention cunts themselves like their "queen". Mandonna is a fake star.

  68. Madonna's Lovely Arms says – reply to this

    How sick of her that she needs to wear a red tampon string aroun her wrist to remind her to be human!

    Yes, I can. Yes I can mention Madonna, Britney, Mariah and Janet in the same sentence. I just did. You Madonna fags are so arrogant. You think Vadge is high art. Well, sorry, but you are high. Vadge is just a product. One that I am not buying!

  71. Madonna Sucks it Hard says – reply to this


    271

    Re: Obama says – I agree completely. Madonna fans are so weird. Like their is something wrong with them. I think they are scary. It's clear to normal people that their is something very wrong with her. She is high school level at best and I am serious. She is just not good and people in the industry make fun of her.

    It`s not the 'red string' that`s going to keep 'evil forces' away… that hideous image of Madonna just might do the trick!

    Hate this cunt and can't wait for her to quit. I will be a happy day when she goes away. Think of all her cunt fans that will finally shut up and stop acting so queeny.

    283

    Madge is a has been.Her desperate attempt to pair with Timberland was a big mistake as everybody who has ears and a brain can hear!!!
    Personally I'M very much more looking forward to the new albums by Mariah,Cyndi Lauper and the real queen herself - Miss DONNA SUMMER.
    Madonna has the money but she never had style or class,never.A mediocre dancer and a horrible singer,that's what she is - enough for people with no lives of their own,as most Americans are…..

    I'm OVER 50 and I read Perez! And your photo is n-o-t what 50 looks like; that's more like what 70 looks like. But Madonna needs to lose the center part in her hair.

    295

    Who does she think she's kidding?!?? She sees it as "another excuse to have a birthday party"? Yeah right. Idiot. She is old, she is more unattractive than EVER before, and she is…old. She is spindly and veiny and her wasted muscles do come through as do her TEETH, but this woman has had her 15 minutes. Please, go home and take care of your family–let them watch TV, don't cut your son's hair to the skin, guide Lola to a hair-free face, and treat your husband to an at least monthly escapade with women his age. A bill from me is in the mail.

    Re: becky – I couldn't agree more Becky. Madonna is a whorepig and she should let her poor husband enjoy the touch of a younger more vibrant woman. Madonna is ill and she really needs help. With her obvious face work she is screaming for her youth and has majoy internal upset. I say we all pray for her.
