Madonna's never been a shrinking violet.
And she definitely made no exception while chatting with MTV's equally ancient John Norris, who asked her about her age after her recent Roseland Ballroom performance here in New York City.
She may have gotten snippy during their exchange, but Norris got the last laugh.
Read and watch his bitchery-laden retelling, after the jump…
From the mind – and transcript – of John Norris:
John Norris: With the Hall of Fame, with the Warner thing ending and with Live Nation starting — and with something happening on August 16 — do you look at it all as a milestone, or …Madonna: Define "it," please?
Norris: This year.
Madonna: This year has been amazing so far. That's how I look at "it."
Norris: Yeah, but not anything more than that? Nothing more momentous, or…
Madonna: Life is getting better.
Norris: No chapter ending, one beginning?
Madonna: [Looking at me quizzically, like I have two heads, and shaking her head] No, just continuing. Did you not hear the song I was singing tonight? "There's no beginning and no ending"? Yeah?
…
On that note, last week a friend of mine (and rabid Madonnaphile) brought to my attention something Madge said 10 years ago in a 1998 VH1 special called "Madonna Rising." The show's host (and her BFF at the time) Rupert Everett asked Madonna whether she could see herself "like Mick Jagger, at age 50, still stomping around Madison Square Garden?" Her reply? "I do not." She went on to explain that while she didn't think there was a "stop date" for her, she did not see herself making pop music and videos in 10 years' time.…When I brought this up at the very end of our interview last week (and remember now, this is after Madonna's rep had three times told me to wrap it up, and after Justin and Madonna had said they wanted to "go drink"), she denied having said it, telling me that in fact she had said she didn't see herself "running around in limousines" — and continued by telling me that I was "once again, not paying attention"!
Well, this time, Madge, I'm afraid ya did say it — we've got the tape!
We full expect John Norris to go missing within the next week…
Here's Norris' official video:

aaaaaaaand so what ?
This is the only way John Norris could get himself in the news? Bringing up an answer to a stupid questions from 10 years ago?
Boooooooooooorrrring !
Dear Queerty,
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
Stop fucking hating on Madonna.
This is getting silly now, everytime you have a MAdonna item , you just can't help but stick the knife in, WTF is wrong with you?????
oh and did i mention…
FUCK YOU!
Leave her alone!
http://www.ilovezeren.com
She is so tired. Put Madonna out to pasture. Stop reporting on her and her dated music.
Thank you, Tim. The only thing worse than her queefy fans is having to hear about her in the first place.
huh?
madonna rules.
Who cares about John Norris!
Oh and this site did not have it's own share of problems yesterday?
Go Fuck YourSelf Queerty
I'm so fucking done with your site.
I love her and all of her bitchiness! Hate all you want, but it's MADONNA, fools! Bitch can act however she wants!
Who cares? Do people not have the right to change their minds? And this is not just about Madge — everyone grow and their ideas and thoughts alter over times too. Trying to nail something someone said over 10 years ago just because there's "proof" is plain idiotic.
Maybe one day she will be like Tina Turner – a gorgeous viable 67 year old who makes music.
This makes me so happy. Madonna bashing. She's a fucking old hag. This makes me so happy. Once a bitch, always a bitch. Bye, bye Madonna.
I'm so happy.
What a hag. She's even getting alzheimer's now.
She can't even remember what she said in interviews.
Why doesn't she just go away and admit that she's as tired as my great grandmother.
No wonder she only does magazine interviews these days so they can be airbrushed to her liking.
Gap toothed Hag.
oh the haters are all out, they just can't help it can they?
calling a woman old hag is not cool, it's ageist and sexist.
ps:chris you really are a cunt aren't you?
… I really REALLY like "Four Minutes"…
What's wrong with asking about her upcoming birthday? And referring to it as a "milestone"? Most people WOULD consider turning 50 a milestone. Why is he at fault for just asking? And for bringing up something she stated in the past, but is now deviating from. It's fine to change her mind, she could just say "changed my mind". But to treat him like he's some amateur, and say "you're not paying attention?" She doesn't give other professionals the respect that she demands for herself. The guy is a journalist, just doing his job. He did nothing wrong.
Why is this even news?

I say, isn't she already? =)
Madonna could never be like Tina Turner. She doesn't have the talent or the voice for it. Tina has Steel Claws.
Madonna's old, Madonna sucks, Madonna should retire…BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!
Give it up, bitter queens, and BOW DOWN to the real QUEEN!
"Hard Candy" is #1 on the Billboard charts!!!
Learn it, bitches!!!
i see you mike killmon in that video rocking that madonna tee! :-)
nothing but love for madonna and mikey. xx
haha, yeah I guess Madonna is passe eh?
#1 on Billboard is so tired and boring eh?
oh god !
what will we do with her?
Madonna, I FUCKING LOVE YOU !
Did you guys NOT see her 'rocking out' in her latest attempt at music?
i guess somebody gave her a guitar, tuned in drop D tuning, so it's basically impossible to fuck up, and she still fucked it up.
Madonna is a washed up, egocentric, huge spoiled bitch.
and what are YOU Madonna Sucks ?
You sound like a HUGE cunt!
Jeez it's not all that much drama. Seems Ms. Madge was ready to leave this interview…And I don't think she saw herself doing anything this late back then…but it's OK to say so..or even to acknowledge that you age like everyone else. From the very beginning of the interview she seems snippy and bored. And looking lecherously at JT, which just makes me love her for the cougar she is. Love ya Madge. You crazy, we love you.
John Norris sounds like a total duche bag, usually a person's writing is slanted in their favor, but she comes off far better than he does here.
"this is after Madonna’s rep had three times told me to wrap it up, and after Justin and Madonna had said they wanted to “go drinkâ€),"
they want to leave and then he brings up some asinine comment from an interview 10 years ago and challenge her for contradicting it by continuing to work…WTF?!?
This site makes me laugh, the only items anyone ever comments on are the ones about M, yet you keep on hating.
Andrew is starting to sound like a bitter ugly queen lol
I used to love coming here, but since the Madonna bashing, I find this site predictable and boring.
Stick to posting about Lance Bass and leave the queen alone.
Madonna R-U-L-E-S!!!
The "Sticky & Sweet" World Tour was just announced. The Queen Bitch will be invading a stadium near you to SOLD OUT crowds, again!!! "Hard Candy" is her SEVENTH #1 album in the US (and the world!!!) and she is set to break more records!!! "4 Minutes" is spending its SIXTH week in the US Top 10 and is her THIRTY-EIGHTH #1 on the US Dance charts. Plus, her next single, "Give It 2 Me" hasn't even been officially released, yet is already #57 on the Billboard charts!!!
BRANG IT, BITCHES!!! MADGE IS THE QUEEN!!! "
This cracks me up. 29 postings about fucking Madonna. Haha…god, she's such a waste. Good thing boys like Madonna Boy buy her albums…better than spending money on caffeine which he is CLEARLY on.
Oy!
It's too late for Madonna to be Tina Turner. Madge already looks older than Tina. As they say – black don't crack. Kaballah may help Madonna's spirit, but it sure ain't doing much for her face.
In fact, Madonna is the same age as my mommy, but looks twice as old. Homegirl has led a helluva life and it shows.
you cunts biting on her age, her face, blah blah
you take the time to come here to slag her ?
how sad are YOU?
I can't believe she's actually coming to Vancouver for the first time ever !!!!
I'M FREAKING OUT !!!!!!!!!!!
