NEW YORK - Madonna says she had some explaining to do when her daughter, Lourdes, asked about that kiss with Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

"(Lourdes) is really obsessed with who is gay," says Madonna in an interview in Out magazine's April issue. "And she even asked, 'Mom, you know they say that you are gay?' And I'm, 'Oh, do they? Why?' And she says, 'Because you kissed Britney Spears.'"

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

Madonna, 47, famously locked lips with Spears, 24, while performing her songs "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" at the awards ceremony.

The pop diva, considered by some to be an icon in the gay community, tells the magazine her 9-year-old daughter likes to guess who is gay: "Oh, and the other thing she likes to ," she says. "I seem to have become a target. It's not very gentlemanly or gracious. But he did send me a letter apologizing for his last outburst, right before his wedding." (John and filmmaker David Furnish took civil-union vows in December.)

Lourdes is Madonna's daughter with actor/fitness instructor Carlos Leon. She has a 5-year-old son, Rocco, with husband of five years, filmmaker Guy Ritchie.

I think Madonna will have a lot of explaining to do in her life.

Fuckin' ridiculous... the woman should be institutionalized.....

DAMN HER!! Divulging privileged information. Might as well confess it now. Yes, that is why gay people kiss. It's how we exchange information, bodily fluids, and cause natural disasters.

Lourdes is obsessed with who is gay already? Interesting to say the least. Her gaydar should be near-perfect by her eighteenth birthday.

a better question would have been "mom are u gonna write any more of those crappy ass children's books?

i dont like this article at all..why the f*ck is madge letting her daughter play a game of judging folks?

how about she play, lets pick out the black person, mommy...

the rest of the interview where she confesses that Lourdes doesn't believe her after she tells her that is cut. along with the comment that she makes that all though they live in the shadow of her fame they still deserve a childhood, and sometimes she doesn't fell Lourdes is at the right age to have the talk about certain things.

also remember the children have an openly gay Uncle.

I don't think Madonna doesn't feel comfatable explaining her bisexuality... yes she is Ingrid can attest to that, or the way she does publicity stunts yet. it's her call as a parent.

So is Lourdes gonna open the Sex book and play "Which one is my Daddy??"

Many of these celebrities will have some explaining to do when their children grow up, but I highly doubt their kids will care anyway. They have been raised by these celebrities and have probably become as self-absorbed as their parents, so I suspect someone like Lourdes will hardly blink an eye when she learns the truth about her mothers past antics.

i would never do that to my niece or nephew. they need to learn not to judge folks, period!!!



seriously though...i wouldnt.

Moonwalkbjrain said:

GAYDAR IS DIFFERENT!!!

sosgemini said:

I don't understand your logic. How is pointing out or wondering what someone's sexual orientation is judging them? We're all curious about that, it doesn't mean you are saying there is something wrong with it if someone is gay.
It's not quite the same as pointing to a black person, because that's obvious from their appearance. Sexual orientation is more subtle.
To be equal, we don't have to pretend everyone is the same.

Krytonite said:

What a line! Yeah, what kinda energy is Madonna passing here (NSFW).

sosgemini said:

What on earth are you talking about? She asked a question, and Madonna answered it. She answered it in a silly way, but that's a different story.

Glindathegood said:

so its now okay to judge and make assumptions about people because of their appearance? sorry, its the same thing..singling out folks who are different...its demeaning and its wrong.. nobody liked it when white folks did it to black folk..
