Here's the thing about being Madonna: You can't contradict your saucy quotes from the early '90s with maternal niceties in 2011, because I'll remember what you said. I will find the evidence in my cone bra, produce it coquettishly like an Old West dame, and share my returns. Welp, here's the new drama: Madonna appeared on Oprah Winfrey's final show today, claiming that she admires the talk show doyenne for promoting reading. Fine, but I remember a movie called Truth or Dare where Madonna cavalierly trashed Oprah. Let's watch it.
In the segment, Madonna criticizes Chicago, where she's currently stopped on tour:
Transcribed: "You know it's a bad sign when they want you to go on a half an hour early. Everything's fine, but we're in a conservative town. And that is another reason to not wanna live in Chicago -- beside for the fact that Oprah Winfrey lives here."
Ouch. Perhaps the Madonna-Oprah bridge has been rebuilt in the 20 years since the film's release, but let's remember the important thing here: Truth or Dare is an awesome movie. That's all.
Here's a preview clip of Madonna before her Oprah appearance today. She notes, "She didn't have to twist my arm, because I love [Oprah]... She doesn't give a sh*t what people think, and I love that."'
