On May 4 2005, a jealous Boy George lashed out at Madonna in the press for her ambitious nature:
“If Madonna were a drag queen, she would be called Ruth Less.
I don’t think the word ‘warm’ comes to mind with Madonna. Ice is the word that springs to mind.”
What drag queen name would you give Madonna?
On May 3 2012, the May 9th issue of Vanity Fair Italy started to hit newsstands.
The issue included an 8-page article and featured photos taken during the making of the Truth or Dare fragrance campaign.
On May 2 2008, Madonna sat down with Steven “Cojo” Cojocaru at Dylan’s Candy Bar in New York to discuss her Hard Candy album.
When asked to describe what or who she is, Madonna replied:
“I think I’m many things. I think I’m a lady, I think I’m a brat, I think I’m a nerd, I think I’m a pimp, I think I’m a mother, I think I’m a kid. It was fun being a brat. I’ve got my cheeky side.”
On May 1 2012, Madonna’s film W.E. was released as a blu-ray/DVD combo pack and standalone DVD in North America by The Weinstein Company and Anchor Bay Entertainment.
On April 30 1992, the black bustier worn by Madonna in the Open Your Heart video was stolen from Frederick’s Of Hollywood’s lingerie museum during the 3-day riots in Los Angeles, California.
On April 28 2003, Madonna graced the cover of People Magazine: Madonna’s Real Life
Here’s a snippet of the article that went with the cover:
Once a naughty material girl, the pop icon has turned into a doting mom and devoted wife. But she’s still making waves. Visitors to Madonna’s $6.5 million Beverly Hills mansion on a recent afternoon could stroll through and behold master-works by Picasso, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and…resident artist Lourdes Leon, age 6. Alas, Lourdes belongs to the enfant terrible school of art, which has her famous mom clenching her teeth in frustration. “My daughter spilled black paint on the bedroom rug,” says a stressed Madonna. “We’re not really sure how it happened. She was left alone for two minutes, and, well, it’s not pretty.” So where is her husband, British film director Guy Ritchie? “He’s upstairs, working on a script,” she says. “I’m much more the disciplinarian of the house, although Guy is getting more involved.” Then, flashing a playful grin, she adds, “I’d have to fire him as a dad if he didn’t get more involved. I can’t be the hard one all the time.”
On April 27 1993, Madonna was honoured for Best Songwriting for This Used To Be My Playground at the 8th annual ASCAP Film & Television Music Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
