Sorry mum: Funky Lourdes ignores Madonna

Just last month Madonna revealed her wish for daughter Lourdes to dress more conservatively. But the strong-willed 13-year-old clearly has no intention of taking styling tip from her famous mum. With her ripped tights, clumpy boots and biker jacket, Lourdes - who has recently enrolled in acting school - looked anything but conservative. But her funky outfit could easily have been lifted from her mum's Eighties wardrobe. Madonna - elegant in a black trench coat with pu

''As soon as she trusts you, she is even more demanding''

"My job on stage is to make someone else look good, which is the hardest part. But while Madonna is tough on the job, she is laid back in real life and a very kind person with a good heart. Very few people are that close to her, but as soon as she trusts you, she is even more demanding. I don’t consider myself an employee, I'm a friend and someone she knows is talented enough to handle the job." Madonna tours dancer and choreographer Steve Nestar, who's spending a day with final-y

Tom Munro on Madonna

Tom Munro’s new book is chock-full of celebrity portraits: Jennifer Lopez, Dustin Hoffman, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Johnny Depp, Ashton Kutcher. But it’s Madonna that he seems most smitten with: Madge is on the cover, scattered throughout the book, and even wrote the foreword. Her poetic summation of the photographer’s art? “To have your picture taken by Tom Munro / Is kind of like smoking a bubblegum cigarette. / You can strike a pose, look cool / Get all of the sweetness, / And not suffer

“I was an hour-and-a-half late for an interview with her in New York when she was just starting out and when I walked in I said to someone: “Who the F is Madonna, anyway?. “Madonna emerged from round the corner and said to me: “Who the F are you?’.” When the cameras started rolling, Madonna shot Molly down with a one-word answer to his first question. “So I decided to ask her again: “Who the F are you?’ She laughed and from then on we became friends,” Meldrum said.
