They can both go to hell
An evening at Madame Tussaud's. (Too easy?) Seriously, your title made me laugh out loud.
I first thought .. Carol Burnett as Nora Desmond.
Lestat and Louis in drag
My thought is she looked fucking great, and your commenters are probably trolls in both senses of the word. xo
Madonna looks beyond fantastic in the professional shots... She's sucking face here and it's not flattering. Maybe she's holding her breath because Kim smells like pregnancy farts and Kanye piss.
Cate Blanchette pulled off this look in that horrid Indiana Jones movie years ago. and well....Madonna doesn't.
Kunt and Kartrashian
your hatred for Madonna is why I rarely come to this site and why I stopped following you on twitter. pointless. ageist. sexiest. tired.
Robin Williams did do that look better in Mrs Doubtfire, Kim!!
Now David. Using your "logic," my being a 45-year-old gay man automatically makes your criticism of me both ageist and homophobic. Shame on you!
I don't "hate" Madonna. I write about her when she does something admirable or silly -- or any other time I see fit. I became a huge fan because of Madonna's music. But her last two albums have suuuuuuuuuuucked -- and I've said so. And the three before them have been largely forgettable, unlike her "Ray of Light" masterpiece and the ones before it. That doesn't mean I hate her, it just means that her most recent works haven't been as good as her earlier ones. That's true of A LOT of artists, including those "kids" my youth-obsessed mind seems to favor, like Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde, Susanna Hoffs and Rosanne Cash.
If Madonna were releasing more things that I liked -- "Celebration" was brilliant -- instead of making more crappy films, behaving like a diva from Central Casting backstage at GLAAD (I know everything about that) and frequently dressing like a fool, I'd write more positive things. But differing opinions on Madonna's work seem to be the least of the reasons why you shouldn't bother coming back here. You obviously don't even "get" me at all, or perhaps anyone who doesn't think exactly like you.
Case in point this post: I was truly stunned that Madonna (or should I say Liz?) would allow a photo to be taken with Kim Fucking Kardashian, someone who -- unlike Madonna -- has become a superstar without ever contributing a single thing to the world. (Sex tapes don't count.) That's the "problem" I was referring to, in a play on words referring to Madonna's hair. (Nobody loves a Hortense Hathaway more than I do!) That your sycophant mind was unable to get that says a lot more about you than it does me. (Are there humans alive with thinner skin than Madonna fans?)
I'm sorry, but I just don't see how it's "ageist" to say that someone with VERY OBVIOUS plastic surgery dressed as a cheerleader looks like a fool. It's not sexiest or ageist -- it's TRUE. If Mick Jagger came out dressed as a quarterback, I'd be laughing at him too. Remember, Madonna is the one who said just before her 40th birthday that if she was "still doing this" when she was 50 you should just shoot her. (How ageist!) I could make 10 analogies, but somehow I don't think you'd get those either. And if I think she is starting to resemble Joan Crawford or Mae West, so what? They're two Hollywood beauties who got older -- just like we all do.
Somehow you managed to find this post, but not my defending her against attacks that she left her homeless brother out to dry or that her speech at the GLAAD awards was heartfelt and funny.
I'm entitled to my opinion -- just as you are yours, going so far as to post it on a site you claim to rarely read. Yet something tells me you will mysteriously be back to respond to this, too. Talk about tired.
