Entertainment News!

I had to laugh when I read this article on the Sydney Morning Herald website..

Good old Mads (aka Madonna), who contrary to popular belief is not every drag queens idol (certainly not mine), revealed a little to us common folk about her relationship with her eldest child, Lourdes.

Her little girl asked her mother:

Lourdes: 'Mum, you know they say that you are gay?'
Madonna: 'Oh, do they? Why?'
Lourdes: 'Because you kissed Britney Spears'.

To explain to her 9 year old daughter Lourdes, the child she had with sexy hunk Carlos Leon, why she was kissing Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, she replied:

Madonna: 'No, it just means I kissed Britney Spears. I am the mummy pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her'.

What a load of crock! Surely someone like Madonna, who you would think would just be straight forward as a mother, would just say to her daughter, "It was just for publicity, to get people talking about me again". After all, her child is old enough to understand.

But then, it wouldn't be a good example to her little girl would it? If she actually said something to that effect, it would encourage Little Lourdes to act out for attention... But then Madonna may be bracing for adolescence. For soon enough, Lourdes will be a teenager with changing and raging hormones. That in combination with Madonna's genes running around in her blood, I can only see trying times for aging popstar!

On other entertainment news, it has been reported that John Travolta is set to star in another movie musical - this time as a woman.

Talk about coming out of left field! How funny! John will star take on the role of Edna Turnblad in Hairspray. He will be starring alongside the talented Queen Latifah, who is to play Motormouth Maybelle.

Produced by the same people that brought us Chicago, it's aimed release date is mid-2007.

I can't imagine Johnny-boy as a woman, but lets give him a go and see what turns out. He could be surprisingly good! Whatever happens, I just hope that it's not as bad as watching Patrick Swayze in the Priscilla rip-off, To Wong Foo...
