Cyndi Lauper: 'Madonna just wants to have fun'
Saturday, 14 March 2009
Cyndi Lauper has defended fellow pop star Madonna's rumoured relationship with a man 28 years her junior.
The Material Girl, 50, has been widely criticised in the press for her alleged romance with 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz.
But Lauper insists its unfair to judge Madonna for having a younger boyfriend, pointing out that it isn't unusual for a male star to step out with a woman half his age.
She says, 'You know, how many old geezers do you see with young women? What's the double standard? Who cares?'

Wow, Cyndi decided to defend M without even getting one jibe in, I am impressed! And she's completely correct. Men get away with it, why can't she?

Cyndi speaks the truth! What kind of world do we live in where we still judge people using rules society has created ages ago to conform to? The non-conformers are equated to being freaks or monsters. Geez, people, live a little. Stop trying to live your lives with these useless "rules" keeping your sense of freedom in a closet. Madonna rocks! Can't wait for her next project, whether it be her CD, her next film or her next bot toy. To all the haters: stop wasting your time, she's here to stay!... and she's not sorry!
