Best of Tonight

Madonna has long been one of my idols, as she came from virtually nowhere and ended up marrying a prince. Much like Grace Kelly, only with a little more sex involved (although Madonna is a distant relative of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Guy Ritchie is merely a film director, not a prince)…In this clip, Leno does a tongue-in-cheek interview with Madonna.

Question: What kind of music to you listen to?
Answer: Celine Dion, as she looks like Madonna’s cousin Loretta, and her father listens to Celine rather than to his own daughter.

Question: How about hobbies?
Answer: “I have a collection.” Leno: “Of what?” Madonna draws this out, and finally answers by pulling something out of her pocket - she collects barrettes. She got the ones she gave to Leno at a “barette auction” in Minnesota.

Question: What are you reading?
Answer: “I’m rereading Little Women.”

Question: Any acting plans?
Answer: “I’m thinking about going back to Broadway.” She wants to play the flying rug in Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna mentions that she’s started a group that rehabilitates rappers and basketball players. At that point you know she’s not serious, if this thought didn’t occur to you already…
