Oh, Madonna — who hasn’t she dated? I’m pretty sure Madge and I hooked up some time in the early-’00s, but for some reason she didn’t bring that up on her first sit-down with Howard Stern. She did, however, casually mention that time she dated rap legend Tupac Shakur, who — turns out — was the impetus for her controversial 1994 Late Show with David Letterman appearance
“I was mad at [David Letterman] when I said the F-word a lot,” Madge told Stern. “I was in a weird mood that day. I was dating Tupac Shakur at the time and the thing is he got me all riled up on life in general. So when I went on the show I was feeling very gangsta.”
Stern was surprised at the Tupac connection, though Madonna thought it was public knowledge at this point. According to E!, fly girl extraordinaire Rosie Perez told Wendy Williams she helped introduce the two. Way to be a national treasure, RoPez.
Among other revelations from Madonna’s first-ever Howard Stern interview, we learn that she dropped her shoe during her iconic VMA performance of “Like a Virgin,” leading her to writhe all over the stage to retrieve it. Her manager at the time correctly predicted that her career was over.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
And while she doesn’t do drugs anymore, Madonna’s a self-described fun drunk. Here’s an example:

remind me, who is she again?

Madonna and Tupac dated? Strange. I have no memory, none at all, of seeing pictures of them going to dinner or at ‘da club’. I looked online and just saw one picture of them at an awards show sitting at the same table. Madge isn’t known for staying out of the spotlight, especially if she thinks being seen with someone will give her cred. Think: Warren Beatty.

@Desert Boy: I don’t remember ever hearing about it either, but Rosie Perez just talked about it today on “The View”. She said she introduced them and they did start dating.

Go on, Madonna, don’t stop there. Was this Tupac guy “packin” (you girls know what I mean) or what? Inquiring minds want to know.

This was like 20+ years ago….who cares Madonna.

For all of her business acumen, she’s not that bright. Class it up a little Madge and leave the dead alone.

Howard brought up her past relationships and he was brought up organically in the conversation. She didn’t say anything but the truth and she was hardly trying to capitalize on her ‘street’ connections to Pac. The interview was extremely personal and Howard got her to talk about everything from her childhood, to working at Dunkin Donuts to being raped when she first moved to NYC and so much more. She was candid and honest and it was a lovely interview. When Howard pressed for more personal details about some of her past lovers/husbands, she refused to talk about anyone else out of respect. Perhaps people should know what they’re talking about before accusing her of nonsense.

@jesuisleprince: OK, fan boy.

Other “rumors” about Madonna’s sex life:
1. That she and one of her girlfriends would cruise around NYC in a limo and pickup Hispanic guys. Madonna’s girlfriend reportedly asked Madonna if she wasn’t afraid that the guys would talk. Madonna is rumored to have said: “No One Would Believe Them.”
2. Then there’s the story of Madonna remarking how beautiful some guy was who was with artist Keith Haring. Haring is rumored to have said: “He’s for you Madonna, He’s your birthday present.”

@jesuisleprince I listened to the interview and really enjoyed it, that said, Madonna is a real media savvy person and I doubt she went in to that interview without knowing what she or Howard were going to discuss! It may have sounded “organic” but she always knows what she is doing.

Like I said in the last article about this chick(in which her crazed fans went into attack mode), she’s desperate for attention… totally irrelevant.

Lady Gaga fans are way crazier than Madonna fans, for real. They blame Madonna for HIV!

Is there anything that Mad-donna won’t say or do for attention? The appeal of her shtick wore out a long time ago. Time to hang up the faded bra, Madge.
