Madonna And Son David Get Out Of Town

Madonna and her youngest son David jetted out of New York City's JFK International Airport on Saturday, and we're not sure where they're headed, but it looks like he had his mom all to himself! It's not clear where sister Mercy was, but David's older siblings Rocco and Lourdes were probably off doing their own thing -- after all, Lola is in college now! We can't believe how fast all of Madge's kids are growing up...
While the 56-year-old pop star is still widely respected (even after that embarrassing fall at the BRIT Awards), apparently she feels like she's being discriminated against due to her age. Madonna has accused BBC Radio 1 of "ageism" after a programmer at the station announced that they were going to pass on playing "Living for Love" so that they might appeal to a younger audience. Madonna called the decision "discriminatory and unfair" and chatted with The Sun about the drama.
"I was like, 'Wait a second. Shouldn't it have to do with whether you wrote a good, catchy pop song?'" she said. "My manager said to me, 'If you're not in your twenties, it's hard. You might get your record played in your thirties. There's a handful of people who do - Pharrell got lucky. But if you're in your fifties, you can forget it'," Madonna said. "I didn't know it was anything to do with my age. I just do my work. We've made so many advances in other areas - civil rights, gay rights - but ageism is still an area that's taboo and not talked about and dealt with."
Leave it to Madonna to talk about it -- and deal with it!
