Madge hates being called Madge

Madonna has said that the British nickname 'Madge' was one of the reasons she left England, speaking on David Letterman's show.

Good work people, it was us who forced Madonna to divorce Guy Richie and move back to America. It turns out she didn't actually like the nickname given to her by the British press. If I'd have known that was all it took I would have stood outside her house with a megaphone more often. She told David Letterman: "That's one of the reasons I left England, so I didn't have to hear that word anymore. Some people say 'Madge' is a colloquialism for kinda like a boring, middle aged housewife and some people say it's short for 'Majesty'. I think it can be quite respectable".
