Here is the amazing cover of the new Rolling Stone magazine featuring Madonna, October 29, USA edition.

With a classic shot by Herb Ritts, Madonna appears on the cover of the October 29th issue of world famous music magazine Rolling Stone. A brand new interview (done just after the Budapest show) features inside, where Madonna gives an unusually revealing interview about her life and work. Here are the most interesting parts:

(on first hearing Material Girl & Like A Virgin)
Madonna: I liked them both because they were ironic and provocative at the same time but also unlike me. I am not a materialisic person and I certainly wasn't a virgin, and, by the way, how can you be like a virgin? I liked the play on words, I thought they were clever. They're so geeky, they're cool.

(on knowing in advance whether a song is a hit)
Madonna: I've never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I've written, like Cherish and Sorry, a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits. Into The Groove is another song I feel retarded singing, but everybody seems to like it.

RS: That's because Into The Groove has an amazing bass line.
Madonna: Yeah. Thank you, Stephen Bray. It always starts with the bass line and the beat. You build it from the ground up. Like on Holiday, Hung Up, Music. I think it has to do with being a dancer, because it's all about the bass line when you're a dancer. You have to feel it in the center of your gravity.

RS: Your former manager Freddy DeMann thought your career was over after the Like A Virgin performance at the 1984 VMAs. Were you concerned afterward?
Madonna: He was a white ghost. He was very disappointed in me, because I was rolling around on the floor, my dress went up, and you could see my underpants. What was I thinking? "I dropped my shoe, I don't know how to get it and put it back on, and I am going down on the ground." It was a lot of things. It was scary and fun, and I didn't know what it meant for my future. A million things were going through my head.

RS: It wasn't just your performances that were provocative. You didn't write Papa Don't Preach, but it's impossible to imagine anyone else singing it. Why did that song speak to you?
Madonna: It just fit right in with my own personal zeitgeist of standing up to male authorities, whether it's the pope or the Catholic Church, or my father and his conservative, patriarchal ways.

RS: What was the fallout?
Madonna: There have been so many fallouts they all get confused. But for Papa Don't Preach, there were so many opinions - that's why I thought it was so great. Is she for "Schma-smortion," as they say in Knocked Up? Is she against abortion?

RS: Any ideas you've had that you haven't gone through because they seemed too extreme?
Madonna: I did a photo shoot with Steven Klein for my last album cover, and I painted my face black, except for red lips and white eyes. It was a play on words. Have you ever heard of the Black Madonna? It has layers of meaning, and for a minute, I thought it would be a fun title for my record. Then I thought, "Twenty-five percent of the word might get this, probably less. It's no worth it." It happens all the time, because my references are usually off the Richter scale. That's why I have people like Guy Oseary in my life, who look at me and go, "No, you are not doing that."

RS: A lot of fans consider Live To Tell from your 1986 album True Blue to be your defining song. What do you remember about writing it?
Madonna: Sometimes when I'm writing songs, I'm just channeling. I could say that Live To Tell was about my childhood, my relationship with my parents, my father and my stepmother. But maybe not. It could be about something in an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel or a story that I heard one. It's true, but it's not necessarily autobiographical. I could say the same about La Isla Bonita. I don't know where that came from.

RS: Are you telling me you never dreamt of San Pedro?
Madonna: I don't know where San Pedro is. At that point, I wasn't a person who went on holidays to beautiful islands. It may have been on the way to the studio and seen it an exit ramp for San Pedro.

RS: How did you come to write Vogue?
Madonna: I wrote it when I was making Dick Tracy. After we shot the movie, Warren Beatty asked me if I could write a song that would fit my character's point of view, that she could have conjured up. She was obsessed with speak-easies and movie stars and things like that. The idea for the lyrics came through that request. Coincidentally, I was going to Sound Factory and checking out these dancers who were all doing this new style of dancing called vogueing. And Shep Pettibone, who co-produced Vogue with me, used to DJ there. That's how it grew together.

(on working with William Orbit)
Madonna: After Evita I had a baby. Getting out of the world of pop music and pop culture for a while, I came back to it feeling very hungry, very curious, looking for something new. During that time I'd been listening to William Orbit's Strange Cargo records. He's very eccentric, he lives in his own world. I'd been away for so long that when I got into the studio with him, I felt like I'd been shot out of a cannon. I had so many ideas, and Ray Of Light reflects that.

(on working with Timberlake & Timbaland)
Madonna: I always go "OK who's making music that I like right now?" I really, genuinely like the music of Timbaland and Justin. Justin is a brilliant songwriter. I mean "What Goes Around ... Comes Around"? Brilliant. I thought it would be a challenge to work with him.

RS: Has anyone ever turned down an offer to work with you?
Madonna: Sure. Or it's "I don't have time." I wanted to work with Eninem. I don't think he wanted to work with me. Maybe he's shy.

(on her children having favourite Madonna songs)
Madonna: Lourdes likes all my old songs. She's really into the Eighties, from the way she dresses, to the music she listens to. Rocco likes anything that I did with Timbaland. Basically, he's a hip-hop and electronic boy. David's favourite song is "Ha Isla", that's what he calls it. He's my biggest fan. Everybody says that when he watches the show, he stays frozen from beginning to end, and he studies everything, and he knows every dance step. He's not jaded like my older children.

RS: You and Lourdes, who is now 12, went to a Lady Gaga show together in New York. Do the two of you go to a lot of shows?
Madonna: We've just started. We like the same music. I think Lady Gaga is great. When we saw her, I actually felt like a kind of recognition. I thought, "She's got something." There's something quirky about her. She's fearless and funny, and when we she spoke to the audience, she sounded intelligent and clever. She's unique.

RS: Can you sense an artist's ambition?
Madonna: Yes. There's people like Justin Timberlake, who's really good-looking and laid-back. He's sort of a Cary Grant. I love him, I love working with him, but I don't recognize myself in him. But I can see myself in Lady Gaga. In the early part of my career for sure. When I saw her, she didn't have a lot of money for her production, she's got holes in her fishnets, and there's mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she's got that It factor. It's nice to see that at a raw stage.

RS: Last year, you and Guy Ritchie got divorced...
Madonna: You don't have to lower your voice when you say that. It's not a bad word. I thought we were talking about music, though. If you can connect the idea of divorce to music, I'll talk to you about it.

RS: Then let's talk about the lyrics to Devil Wouldn't Recognize You from Hard Candy: "I should just walk away/Over and over, I keep on coming back for more."
Madonna: What can you say? It was a challenging year. I think work saved me, and I'm very grateful that I had work to do. I may have thrown myself off a building. Life is an adjustment. It's different.. My songs aren't with me right now, they're with their father, and I'm not very comfortable with the idea of my children not living together. There are pros and cons, but I do feel good now.

RS: I was at the show last night in Budapest. I was struck by how none of the songs you performed were in their original arrangements.
Madonna: Even my new songs, I have to reinvent them, or after a couple of months, I'll just get sick of them. When you reinvent them, you have to sit for days with the musical director and your band. Inevitably, you end up sampling someone, and you have to get permission and pay more money. People have told me, "You could just go out there and play guitar and sing your songs like Paul McCartney," but I'd be too bored. Most of the joy of the shows is the magic of creating them - the theater. I'm a perfectionist. I like hard work. I like to sweat.

RS: Clearly. You sang Into The Groove while jumping rope.
Madonna: I always have to do something really impossible during my shows, and that's my really impossible moment. It's very hard to sing and dance at the same time, that's why most people that dance don't sing, or at least not very well.

Amid reports that Madonna is set to buy boy toy Jesus Luz a $2 million pad in the Big Apple comes a claim that Madonna’s “sizzling romance” with the Brazilian model is a big ol’ sham.

Britain’s Now magazine reports that Madonna and Jesus do, on occasion, have sex — but it’s all about publicity!!

“Even Madonna’s entourage treat him like a shoe boy — he has to fetch them drinks and get their food,” says a source. “They also sleep in separate beds most of the time — Jesus has his own quarters so that he doesn’t disturb Madonna’s sleep. Basically, he’s just another member of staff like all the others. He even hangs out with the girls in the staff quarters when Madonna’s busy with her workouts or meetings. It’s ridiculous to even think that they have a sizzling romance. Jesus does, on occasion, sleep with Madonna to service her.”

The insider adds: “Coming from a Brazilian upbringing, he’s a bit more open-minded about sex and regularly flirts with Madonna’s entourage – men (is been rumored for months that Steven Klein is dating him) and women. But he knows going out with Madonna can lead to big things for him career-wise. At the end of the day, there’s absolutely no way that overnight he’s suddenly the love of Madonna’s life.”

Madonna is putting her shoes where her mouth is.

The Queen of Pop has offered one of her favorite pairs of Christian Dior shoes to a charity supporting Gypsy child education. Organizers said Tuesday the skyscraper gold heels, which are autographed by Madonna, will be sold at the Ovidiu Rom annual ball later this month.

Madonna drew international attention by saying during an August concert in Bucharest on her “Sticky & Sweet’” tour that widespread discrimination against East Europe’s Gypsies, also known as Roma, should end.

Thousands of fans responded by booing her.

“Madonna’s very mild comment regarding equality shone a spotlight on a common European attitude toward Gypsies,” Leslie Hawke, president of Ovidiu Rom, told The Associated Press. “We’re thrilled to have her donation because she is such an icon of innovation and vigor and ‘can do’ spirit.”

Hawke’s son, actor Ethan Hawke, will attend the ball and speak to guests.

Guests at the ball will make donations to win raffle tickets for the auction of donated prizes. This year’s items also will include a gold chain provided by actress Vanessa Redgrave.
