After the packed-to-the-rafters free show she did in New York last night, Madonna and Justin Timberlake had plenty of reason to celebrate - but judging by her appearance on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning, the Material Girl may have partied a little too heartily!
Madonna sounded distinctly groggy during her interview with Seacrest, excusing it as a symptom of the hangover she was nursing after spending the night wilding out with Justin. "I had a shot of tequilla... I may have had a lemon drop, too - we 'tied one on', as they say."
Of course, after all the hard work she's been putting in during the lead-up to Hard Candy's release this week, Madge certainly deserved to blow off a little steam. "I was up the night before going over every detail of my show to the point where I never even got to bed... I haven't had a drink in months," she told Ryan. "Usually I work hard and then work so hard that there's no time for fun - but last night Justin and I decided 'We work too hard - we gotta have fun!'"
The singer actually couldn't stop praising Justin's work ethic, claiming that it made it easier for her to relate to him as an artist. "He has a lot of the same interests that I have - he's ambitious, but not in an offensive way. He connects to the joy of performing and being on stage. He doesn't want to be pigeon-holed. He's incredibly responsible and he's good at what he does, and I think he has a long future in front of him."
She also brought up her plans to take Hard Candy on tour in a few months. "We've been having serious discussions about me going on tour in the fall," she said. When pressed for more details, she replied "October-ish."
Of course, even a hangover couldn't keep Madonna from lobbing a few playful bombs Ryan's way - like when she pointedly asked him if he'd ever heard the song "You're So Gay, You Don't Even Like Boys"! Ryan, naturally, was thrown for a loop - just another classic Madonna moment!
And, like everyone else in the celebrityverse this week, Madge found herself giving her opinion on Miley Cyrus' racy photo scandal - or, to hear Madonna tell it, non-scandal! "" she moaned. "It's all too much - make it stop! Why should I be offended? She's going to be 16 soon, and then 17 and then 18, and then she might show a knee, and then what's gonna happen? Leave her alone!"
Juicy stuff!
