SHE is known for her raunchy on-stage antics and even sexier Instagram posts – and who could forget that coffee table book all about bonking?
But now Madonna has well and truly sealed her reputation as one of music’s barmiest icons, with a wacky interview which has given her six kids enough material to cringe over for the rest of their lives.
During the chat, posted on her YouTube channel, the Crazy For You singer confessed to being obsessed with sex and said she regretted her marriages to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie.
These two might want to look away now.
When asked, “What’s a decision you made, that looking back, maybe wasn’t the best idea?” she immediately hit back: “Getting married . . . both times.”
Her fixation on sex was made clear in no uncertain terms, too, as she cited it again and again in reply to questions — boasting that lovemaking is her “guilty pleasure”, “life mantra”, “secret to success”, “zodiac sign” and what has kept her going over a career spanning 43 years.

When not declaring her penchant for passion, the Queen of Pop also teased fans about new music and revealed she would love to collaborate with Kendrick Lamar and is “gagging” to work with Britney Spears again — 19 years after the pair of them released Me Against The Music.
School teaching
During the video — in which she is seen merrily feeding her horses carrots and hungrily munching on one herself — she went on to hint about an upcoming tour for her dance remix album and was asked if she would consider doing “a greatest hits kind of concert”.
Madonna — who earlier this month released Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones — replied straight back with a cheeky glint in her eye: “Do you want me to go on tour?”
During her incredible four-decade career, the Material Girl has sold more than 300million records worldwide.

But during the chat, she revealed, bizarrely, how she would have chosen a career in school teaching if she’d not landed her big break in music so early on.
Luckily for her fans, Madonna will not be swapping the studio for the classroom any time soon, and insists she has no plans to call time on music.
Her wacky answers
WHAT’S your zodiac sign?
Sex.
IF you can only wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would that be?
My 24-carat gold vibrator necklace.
WHAT’S your favourite snack?
I can’t remember his name? Oh no . . . big d**k!
DO you have any pets?
I do. I have several pets. I just can’t remember their names.
Quizzed on how her inspiration is different now from when she started out, she said: “There is no end to the inspiration. If you are a curious person, when pay-ing attention to life you will never stop be-ing inspired.”
Or obsessed with sex, it would seem.
Taylor tribute gig boost
FOO Fighters have released more tickets for their Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert, on Saturday.
The gig, which begins at 4.30pm at London’s Wembley Stadium, will see Dave Grohl and his bandmates, put on a star-studded show to remember their late drummer, who died suddenly in March.
Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker leads the big-name musicians and stars taking to the stage to celebrate Taylor’s life, alongside Lars Ulrich, Kesha, Chrissie Hynde and Brian May.
Money from ticket and merchandise sales will help Music Support, a UK charity chosen by Taylor’s family, which helps those who work in music and live events who are affected by mental health and addiction issues.
Lila’s claw unto self
LILA Grace Moss has nailed the art of looking as good as her model mum Kate when it comes to posing.
But I’m not so sure about her talon-style trotters.
The rising fashion star revealed her pointed and polished toenails in a photoshoot for Perfect Magazine.
She shared a close-up of her triangular tootsies on Instagram to give fans a closer glimpse of her new look.
I’m no fashionista but I don’t think this trend is going to catch on.
Jade & Tove in the mix
JADE Thirlwall has hit the studio with Tove Lo after mutual friend Jax Jones introduced them to each other.
The Little Mix singer jetted out to Los Angeles last month to work on her debut album before hitting it off with Tove as they tried out new sounds.
While the pairing may initially seem a bit random, both Tove and Jade are good friends of Jax – having each worked with him in recent months.
Jax told me in December how he and Jade had recorded a dance floor smash, although it’s up in the air if it will be for her album or if he will release it himself. Meanwhile, I can reveal Jax is remixing Tove’s latest single 2 Die 4, for which she released an eye-popping video on Tuesday.
Despite putting in the studio hours, Jade isn’t planning on releasing any solo music this year.
Label bosses have stressed that she should take as much time as she needs to record and not rush to release anything.
With the world of music at her fingertips, something tells me that when she does finally reveal her songs, it will have been well worth the wait.
Leigh-anne in limelight
NOT many people can pull off a tropical-style lime-green outfit like this – but I reckon Leigh-Anne Pinnock completely nails it.
She shared a series of snaps on Instagram of her partying at London’s Notting Hill Carnival in the garish tights, miniskirt and cut-away top.
The singer danced with pals at the event, which was also attended by Rita Ora – who chose to stay away from the crowds by dancing on the roof of a pal’s house.
Former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne has been hard at it working on new music for her debut solo album, so I’m glad to see she’s making some time to let her hair down – and she looks good as a lime daiquiri.
Why Gem loves Dom fur ever
DOMINIC Cooper revealed his girlfriend, fellow actor, Gemma Chan fell more in love with him after he rescued a cat for her.
I caught up with the Mamma Mia! star at the Luno Presents All Points East festival in London, and he said the Eternals actress was putty in his hands when he returned from a film shoot with the moggy.
Dominic, who was buying Gemma a pair of sunglasses at the Ray-Ban stand when I saw him, said: “She’s so in love with the little cat that I brought back from Italy from a job I did – and she says there’s nothing in the world that can compare to this.”
Normal People star Daisy Edgar Jones was also in the crowd with her co-star India Mullen.
Daisy said: “Live music is what I’ve actually missed most over Covid. That experience of hearing a musician playing.”
Oops she did it again
BRITNEY Spears and Elton John have fallen back in the race for No1, with LF System now battling Eliza Rose for the top spot.
The pair’s superstar collaboration Hold Me Closer was last night at No3 according to chart data – but it is almost 3,000 sales behind the No2 track.
LF System’s Afraid To Feel has been at No1 for eight weeks but it is now 470 copies behind Eliza’s B.O.T.A., which looks set to clinch the top spot in tomorrow’s charts.
If Eliza does make it to No1, she will be the first female British DJ to top the charts.
It has had a meteoric rise, first entering the charts at No96 a month ago.
She wrote on Insta: “So Bota is still in the race for #1 this week, to think it’d be against OG pop princess Britney and a man like Elton is mental.”
Arcade Fire launch tour
THE opening night of their first major tour in four years kicked off with Arcade Fire’s stadium-sized anthem Wake Up – and continued as one of the best stage productions in rock.
The Canadian group delivered an epic two-hour performance under a clever rainbow-shaped screen, which bursted with eye-catching visuals as they sang fan favourites including The Suburbs and Everything Now.
For Reflektor, the stage beamed out lasers and smoke poured into the crowd. During Lookout Kid, there were dancing inflatable figures, while other tracks were performed on a satellite stage in the middle of the audience.
But there was practically no interaction with the audience – apart from the occasional “thank you for being here” – following recent allegations of sexual misconduct made against frontman Win Butler, which he has denied.
The controversy didn’t stop the band being as cohesive as ever, and they looked strong as they kicked off their three-month tour.
With sing-a-long indie favourites and spectacular staging, Arcade Fire are on to a winner.
Congratulations in order
CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Ellie Goulding.
The Love Me Like You Do singer is this year’s recipient of the BMI President’s Award, for her “exemplary contributions to the art of music and song writing”.
Ellie will be handed the gong, which has previously been awarded to Neol Gallagher and Pink, at a swanky ceremony at The Savoy hotel in London on October 3.
Meanwhile the star- studded bash will also pay tribute to UK and European songwriters.
Heidi Klum shows off angelic side
HEIDI Klum showed off her angelic side in this all-white outfit as she arrived to film America’s Got Talent.
The German supermodel-turned-AGT judge showed she still has bundles of talent herself as she dazzled in the flowing frock teamed with matching big shades, handbag and shoes.
It’s sure to be a big, fat ‘yes’ from viewers, that.
Heidi sits on the talent show panel alongside Latina actress Sofia Vergara, Canadian comedian Howie Mandel and main man Simon Cowell, who is preparing to launch a new spin-off series of Britain’s Got Talent which features just magicians.

Don’t get me wrong. I do love Simon but I think too much of anything can be a bad idea.
