Me and Madonna
So - after a hary, scary motorbike dash from Radio 1 HQ to Heathrow - an 8 hour transatlantic flight from London to New York - a nail biting day of waiting for an audience with the lady Madonna - we arrived at the appointed place - Dylan's candy store, at the appointed time - 4pm. Was a lot like walking onto the set of Charlie and the chocolate factory - a candy wonderland.
There was a whole army of workers beavering away - sound, lights, cameras, security - then suddenly there was a whisper of 'she's here', everything fell silent and lo! She appeared - a vision in cream Givenchy leather boots and chiffon floaty dress. Very blonde and smiley with great long lashes.
The interview passed in a flash - I had to compliment her on the show which was truly very impressive. Brilliantly choreographed. She looked amazing onstage - teeny tiny and superfit. We chatted about working with Justin - how nervous they both were of each other initially - Pharrell - how he brought Mickey mouse slippers to work with him and Timbaland - how unpredictable he could be. Funny moment was when a blackberry went off and she sternly told everyone off. Only for a phone to go off a few moments later.... Hers!! The whole thing was over in 17 mins. Every time i've interviewed Madonna she's been nothing less than open and charming and this time was no different. It's quite some show as those of you who are going to the Big Weekend will see and those who aren't will witness on TV.
