Italians are NOT white–they are Latino–with lots of black ancestry!

“I get that you like Madonna, but you may want to calm down about it” is my nomination for BFD Tagline.

Okay, I get that you like Madonna, but you may want to calm down about it. Sense of humor: it’s what’s for breakfast!

(Troll-like comments deleted. Which might have been a bad idea since they were kind of funny.)

It’s so funny how uneducated people jump into conclusions and judge what they don’t know.

As a linguist, I can say that after living in London for over 8 years, having an English husband and being surrounded by speakers of that dialect, it is totally normal to have certain aspects of your own linguistic performance changed a little bit.

I saw the interview and to be honest, Madonna was NOT complaining about her thighs, it was just a silly funny comment (the type of comment you make underrating yourself just to get a complement).
I think your husband should be more worried about thinking about Madonna’s position in the music bizz and stop making stupid statements because people are not sick of Madonna at all. Evidence: her latest work – Hard Candy and 4 Minutes – is # 1 in over 35 countries, single and album on the top of the world chart for over three weeks, It clearly shows people still like her.
And more important, I would like to see all the people that make bad comments about Madonna. she is 49 (50 in Auguust). I dare all those haters to look better than her not when they’re 49, but now. Before even judging her, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror… can you really say anything about Madonna?

I’m gay, so I think I might have the Madonna Allegiance Gene.

I think she’s incredible. Even with plastic surgery, I think she works really hard for the body she’s got (and so do a lot of women who can’t and won’t ever look that sinewy.) I think she’s got an incredible business acumen, associates herself with some of entertainment’s highest achievers and has an incredible sense of theatre in her concerts.

I think she’s smart, and I give her a pass for surviving in the business past age 25.

Jesus Harold Christ on Rubber Crutches, she’s 49 and has popped out two children!

Also, being one-quarter relatively undiluted Italian myself (my mom’s father was born in Italy), I vouch for the fact that Mediterranean women generally have hips and thighs. So her legs actually touch at the top. Buy some anti-chafing cream and own it.

The thing about being a strong woman, I can see how she might seem like she’s just buying into the “look cute so men want to do you” but if you think about it, she was one of the first young female pop stars to be overtly sexual AND massively successful. By today’s standards she may not seem unique, but 20+ years ago when she emerged she was edgy and different. She was one of very few celebrities to acknowledge that women want to have sex and don’t have to choose between virgin or whore. I mean, remember that she was out in the era of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson (when she was still “Debbie” instead of Deborah), NKOTB, and freakin mall tours.

I don’t really like much of the music she’s put out recently (I think”Ray of Light” might be the newest song of hers I actually like…”Music” was OK but not dazzling, IMO), but I do respect her for being groundbreaking in the past. Fake British accent notwithstanding.

I did get a little sick of seeing pictures of the girl-on-girl-on-girl kiss as the screensaver of ever heterosexual male I know, but at least she was still shocking people.

I like upsetting the status quo.

She does have a little bit of thunder thighs going on there. But it could just be a bad picture. Still amazing though, but I think its kind of silly that she refuses to play the stuff that got her famous. But I know she is probably tired of it.

Based on the outfits Madonna chooses to wear, I have a hard time believing that she is seriously traumatized by the girth of her thighs. I can believe that she might be rather less pleased with them than she would like, but does having a healthy body image necessarily entail thinking that every part of your body is perfect?

Am I the only one who is sick of skinny people saying that they’re fat? She’s fuckin’ lean!! If her thighs are “fat” then I’m a blue whale for chrissakes. Gimme a break.
