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!

    305

    I'm back
    the TROLL here on PEREZ
    I posted about more that 2 here to spill my HATRED and JEALOUSY to Madonna
    since nothing is really going on in my life why not just be DESPERATE
    I know I am a COMPLETE FALURE and no matter what I do I will never be as successful as Madonna
    I was meant to be a DOUCHE BAG LOSER
    someday soon I will just end my MISERABLE LIFE and commit SUICIDE
    that way I don't have to hear or read anything about Madonna ever again

    Re: JESSICA

    Yes, sweetie it's all real. That's how women look when they turn 50. Beware.

  10. Lori says – reply to this


    310

    Re: Wintour

    I could say that about half the music acts under 30. And be sure to remember that when you're a tad older and acts you enjoy are urged to give up already.

  11. YES says – reply to this


    311

    Re: FUCKU – yes some people that post here are that STUPID or really DESPERATE to convince themselves that Madonna really looks like this only so they can feel better about themselves. SO SAD AND PATHETIC. :)

  12. Madonna's Sick Fans says – reply to this


    312

    Madonna's fans are really sick. She is ugly now and has mutilated her face. She is old and she uses younger people to try to make her "relevant" . She is not but she is old. Madonna is a spiritually deprived old twat and anyone with a brain can figure this out.

    Re: Madonna Sucks it Hard

    "and I am serious" Yes you are, sweetie. Good for you. I think you have that wrong. Madonna is a well respected icon. You and your friends don't get it, because I'm guessing your not yet 30? Which is fine, because I'm sure she's not courting you for sales of concert tickets or music sales.

    318

    you're the one that's SICK IN THE HEAD. anyone here that tells me they have a problem with me because I am STILL a fan of Madonna can go fuck themselves
    what business of yours to care who I want to like ???? its my life ,my choice and my decision. I don't have to explain myself and give you my reasons ,I just simply love Madonna and I wonder why that bothers you so much ????
    GET A FUCKING LIFE :)

  25. We all don't love Madonna says – reply to this


    325

    Re: Karen – She is contrived and so over-played out. There's a new album - controversary - blah blah blah for over 25 years. No wonder her husband has been banging some other chick for the past 8 months.

    327

    God she looks like she's been painted by Ivan Albright, that Chicago artist who used to paint people with decaying, rotting flesh and who did the picture of Dorian Grey for the movie, if I recall correctly.

    #327 DUH !!!!! I knew that already some people here are not a Madonna fan ,nothing new about that and honestly I am not asking you either if you like her or not ,trust me I don't care. All I'm saying is Perez decided to post this pic so he can get all the RIDICULOUS COMMENTS FROM HATERS LIKE YOURSELF and I am convinced the joke is on you because I myself is laughing my ass off with all the DUMB COMMENTS ,HATERS LIKE YOURSELF POST HERE

    wat the f u c k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    is that really her dam that cant be her shes toooo old to be madonna!!!
    ohh well lyk they say:::::
    one year older one year less to live
    right!!!!!(lol)

  33. buuuYou says – reply to this


    333

    You're an idiot??!!! Have you seen the 120 year old Israeli woman? She it not looking so old as your Madonna!! Maybe your grandma's times women got old earlier, maybe you mom has inherited her genes… but not others, sorry. Nowadays women are still young looking even at the age of 60yrs, especially if the person knows how to keep her healthy and in fit.
    You should think about a pit what you do!!!

  34. Eva says – reply to this

    Re: Olives – Perez can't help himself sometimes he can be really silly
    but I forgive him because I know he is the number one Madonna fan :)

    337

    How funny is that pic!!!

  38. Madonna's fans are stupid says – reply to this


    338

    Look at all these idiots coming to Madonna's defense. Relax, people. If you like Madonna's lame attempts at courting media attention, it's ok. Singing on a cross and prancing around in a leotard is just the sort of thing she needs for people to still look at her. 5 seconds later, nobody will care about her but the fags that like to dance to her 3-note range.

  39. hey #340 says – reply to this


    339

    I think you are the one that needs to relax , I'm a Madonna fan and I don't need to defend her from your kind . I simply just love her no matter what and you calling some people a fag just shows that you are one uneducated ignorant douche bag ,why do you think you're so special for being one ????? and chances are if you post here on Perez you , yourself is gay too but only in the closet hahahaha ,I never in a million years that a " straight dude " posts here and if he does he's hiding something .
    trust me you don't sound that smart either , DUMBASS :)

  40. Ha, I got you to reply! says – reply to this


    340

    Re: hey #340 – Hahahahahaha

  41. sani says – reply to this


    341

    NO WAY!! Really..Madonna will never look at that.. at 50-year-old!! Even what ! Try again when Madonna is 70-year-old! Sorry!!

  42. Rick says – reply to this


    342

    Ya this is more like 100 not 50! It's soo sad that Perez and Americans have such a hang up on youth and beauty that some moron would depict 50 as looking like this pic…uuggh. I'm only 22 and I think it's shows the real depth of people like Perez. I'm not a big Madonna fan but she looks great regardless of her age, damn she looks better than most 40 year olds, body and face.

    345

    382

    All the evil you do shows up on your face as you age, no matter how much plastic surgery or botox you have. This woman should go away and stop being seen in public now. I've seen womn in their 70's and 80's that looked better than this.

  83. Countess Tatiana says – reply to this


    383

    So what's the big deal about being 50 ? This years Academy Award winner for best actor was 51 year old Daniel Day Lewis and he is smokin HOT. Two of the other contenders are looking at 50 in a couple of years as well—George Clooney and Johnny Depp. While it is true that Clooney looks closer to 60, I must say that Johnny Depp is agelessly beautiful. Another gorgeous guy who's almost 50 is Brad Pitt. Tom Cruise is looking a bit rough these days, though, for getting close to the half-century mark. I guess Scientology can't cure the aging process after all.

    idiots, you'd have to be about 80 to look like that

  85. officegirl says – reply to this


    385

    That's so UNFAIR, Perezzer! The "face" you've given Madge is really more like 75 or 80! I'm 52 and only have lines between my eyebrows. I haven't had procedures, but like Madonna I eat right and exercise regularly. 50 is the new 30, dude!
