yes, Madonna is now too good for the media of the rest of society
From the the TV column on Oprah's interview with Madonna.
"I was just asking the audience whether this merits headline news with all the other real atrocities going on in the world and all of this attention being focused on you," Oprah continued. Grievously, she never revealed the studio audience's answer. "When did you realize that it's becoming this big of a deal?"
Madonna patiently explained that she does not read newspapers or watch television, so she did not realize the adoption of a motherless child from an orphanage in the tiny African country was controversial until she returned to England and "there was a million film crews in the airport and press camped outside my door." Apparently, her publicist, director husband Guy Ritchie and the rest of her entourage were not allowed to bring her up to date. Or they hadn't the nerve.
I bet that back when Madonna was culturally relevant she totally read the newspaper and watched tv.
