Well, in fairness, it was her publicist, really. Madonna was, as you may or may not know, recently announced as the face of H&M's upcoming autumn range of clothing, a decision criticised by advertising guru Jerry Della Femina who thinks she is too old, and said "These kids trade in stars every two or three years, and many don't know Madonna."
The singer's spokeswoman Liz Rodenberg has responded: "I defy any 18-year-old to do a quarter of what Madonna does on stage. I hope Jerry Della Femina takes a nice pill."
