JFK Jr. Asked Madonna To Pose As His Mom. Eww!
We mean no disrespect to the late John F. Kennedy Jr., but asking Madonna to pose as your mother, one of the nation’s most famous and beloved First Ladies, is just a little too creepy even for for us.
In a book coming out at the end of this month, John-John’s former assistant RoseMarie Terenzio claims that he seriously asked Madonna, rumored to be a onetime flame, to pose as Jackie O for a summer 1996 “Women in Politics” issue of George, the political magazine he ran in the 1990s. Terenzio even produced this handwritten note, which Madonna faxed to the George offices. (Even famous people used faxes back in the day!)
Thank God she had the good sense not to accept. While we sometimes question The Great Madge’s decisions—tossing fans in jail, continuing to make movies, hating hydrangeas, etc.—this is one we stand behind.
The Evita star tells “Johnny Boy”: “Thanks for asking me to be your mother but I could never do her justice. My eyebrows aren’t thick enough for one.”
If we are to take anything away from this note, it’s that Madonna and JFK Jr.’s flirty maybe-relationship was kind of weird and had some mommy issues up in there.
Her Madgesty makes also a bizarre mention of being more amenable to playing Hitler’s bride, Eva Braun, or scandalous socialite Pamela Harriman.
Madonna in a Nazi costume would actually be more tasteful.
WTF? You make it sound as though JFK Jr asked Madonna to play Jackie in bed!
What, pray tell, is all that “ewwww” and “icky” about asking Madonna to pose as Jackie for a photo spread in a leading political-themed magazine? Particularly in the day, Madonna was/is an A-Lister and political figure; Jackie certainly was an A-Lister and political figure; John Jr. certainly was an A-Lister and political figure; and, GEORGE was A-List and all about politics. Madonna on the cover of GEORGE as Jackie — a big selling issue.

Madonna as Jacqueline Kennedy? That’s like saying battered and fried onion rings are the same as lobster.
·
What’s ewwish here? Sounds like it would have been a real seller.
·
IF this is even remotely a true story, then it just shows how tacky, tasteless, and fucked-up JFK Jr. was. Jackie Kennedy was not a politician, she was dead, and a pillbox hat? Just fucked-up beyond belief!

It would have sold a ton of copies, guarantee. the controversy behind it, especially with Madonna being who she was in the 90′s would have made it sell out everywhere. This was post Erotica/Sex Book time when she wanted to be taken more seriously as an artist and actress with Evita. Madonna is far from stupid and she had the sense to know that everything she built back would have came crashing down if she did something like this.
·
So, why aren’t you railing on Drew Barrymore, who ultimately posed as Jackie O? Is that less weird somehow? After all, Madonna DID decline his offer. Why all the hate?
·
Not sure why you have to hate on Madonna. You have issues.

How convenient these tell-all books come out with these stories once the person has died. No lawsuits to worry about.

@Jerry: I don’t remember the movie’s title, but at OutFest (LA Gay and Lesbian film festival) years ago, there a film about a gay funeral crasher, who made up infamous stories about his interactions with the famous dead. Mid story, an outlandish one regarding Andy Warhol, he turns to the camera, and informs us: “The dead can neither confirm nor DENY your stories.”

Madonna would have looked the part. But being Evita and Jackie O in the same year or even decade is not a good career move.
Madonna is going to be known as the ultimate feminist in due course. She will have better rep than Jackie O, whose only claim to fame is as a cuckold housewife of a former President.
Call it antics, but Madonna’s actions has done more for the progress and acceptance of strong/sexy/willful women AND gays than many in recent history.

Madonna will have a better rep than Jackie?lol
Sorry,i don´t like Madonnas music,but i can understand that other might like it.
But as a person,she is pure trash.
No doubt–she has no decency and class!

http://helpmothermonster.blogspot.com/2011/12/madonna-action-alert-gay-blogs.html This site is telling people to post things against Madonna, Adele, Rihanna, and others. Just to let you know, I’m appalled by the way some fans behave, I’m pretty sure Lady Gaga has nothing to do with it, but it’s disgusting

I do not believe this story one bit!
