During the first part of Madonna’s overall ABC interview with Cynthia McFadden — the Nightline segment aired last night, and things continue today on both Good Morning America and 20/20 — the W.E. director talked a lot, naturally, about her film, which opens on February 3. “I’ve certainly been in love with people who’ve made big sacrifices for me,” said the Material Girl, while drawing a comparison between herself and her film’s subject, Wallis Simpson. “Possibly not as big as I would have liked them to make.” She also discussed her Super Bowl plans and her much younger beau.

Madonna went on to describe herself as a romantic, which seemed to surprise her interviewer: “The great discovery that I made whilst doing this research is that there is no such thing as perfect love — and I obviously know that in the back of my head. I’m not an idiot. But, you know, I have my hopelessly romantic, strangely naive moments.”
This led the conversation to veer toward the topic of Madonna’s current, 24-year-old boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat. “Aren’t people tired of that subject?” Madge jokingly quipped. “Boring old chestnut. Okay, what do you want to know?”

Cynthia asked Madonna why she’s involved with Zaibat, who is half her age. “I didn’t write down on a piece of paper that I’m now going to have a relationship with a younger man,” responded the singer. “It’s just what happened. You see, that’s the romantic in me. I just met someone that I care for, and that’s his age.”
The subject then turned to W.E., Madonna’s daughter Lourdes — who apparently has the power to veto her mom’s inappropriate clothing choices — and the singer’s upcoming Super Bowl performance, which she says is more frightening to think about than her movie opening.
“I have eight minutes to set up my stage, 12 minutes to put on the greatest show on earth and I have seven minutes to take it down so that football field is clean for the second half of the game,” Madonna said. “That’s the challenge. How do you do that?”

All this singers in one way or another have taken a page from Madonna’s book, but Lady Gaga is just being a Madonna Xerox and everyone can see it. Glad to see The Imperial Queen of Pop is back. Get ready for new M.D.N.A 2012 ♥
“whilst”?? “Boring old Chestnut”?? Berating Cynthia for not knowing what “reductive” meant ?? Hey Madge, go back and watch those early MTV interviews with you when you spoke like a dumb Valley Girl. Someone needs a reality check here.
Has anybody noticed how careful with her questions the interviewer was? And Madonna being “uncomfortable” with some questions that would discuss or uncover that maybe something that she’s doing might be wrong . I mean what a fake conversation it was ! I could have written my own plot and let them read it.
Loved it. She’s gotten very good at being revealing and still keeping herself on her own level. The only mistake in this interview is after saying that Lourdes sometimes tells her not to wear, and she’s sitting in a dress with the top half of someone’s kitchen curtains on her shoulders! Or was the Christmas wrapping still attached? As far as new music goes, Hard Candy isn’t too tough to beat.
