Madonna is on the cover of Vanity Fair, with a big photospread and an interesting, if kind of odd
interview
with the pop superstar. Here's a snippet where she talks about her new album, Hard Candy:
Madonna made the record with Justin Timberlake, who co-wrote five of the songs and sings on four, Pharrell Williams, and the producer Timbaland. "I didn't have any idea what kind of music I wanted to make," Madonna told me. "I just knew I wanted to collaborate with Pharrell and Justin. I needed to be inspired and thought, Well, who's making records I like? So I went, 'I like that guy and I like that guy.' It's not like we hit it off right away. Writing is very intimate. You have to be vulnerable and it’s hard to do that with strangers. I had ups and downs before everybody got comfortable, but I grew very fond of Pharrell and Justin."
Madonna also talks about her adoption of David from Malawi and her next film project: she wants to remake Casablanca. We really love Madonna, but..remaking Casablanca?? Is that a good idea? Read the rest of the interview here.
