Madonna Dreamt of Candy Stores
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
The Queen of Pop had strong ambitions when she was a teenager, especially her dream of working in a candy store.
Madonna, who now follows a strict diet and exercise regime, was so “obsessed” with sweet treats as a teenager that she wanted to get a job selling them.
“My dream was always to work in a candy store. It was because of my obsession with candy. I’m not obsessed anymore, now that my teeth are all rotten! I did go to a university for a year and there was a candy shop that I used to go to all the time, an old-fashioned one where all the candy was in these big glass jars. I used to go in there and look at all the candy and think, ‘God, it would be really cool to work in here; I could have candy whenever I wanted.’”
However, the singer’s ambitions changed when she moved to New York in the ‘70s and decided that she wanted to be a pop star, no matter what it took: “When I moved to the Big Apple, that was when I knew that that’s what I was going to do—be a singer and a songwriter and an entertainer. I didn’t care if I had to starve, and live in a room with five guys, and wash in a sink; that was what I’m going to do. And because I lived a pretty dismal life and I didn’t care.”

Michael Jackson Too Shy For Madonna
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rumors,
So if Madonna and Michael Jackson were good friends, why did we never hear a collaboration out of it? The Queen of Pop thought found the King to be “too shy.”
The “Revolver” singer spent weeks working with the King of Pop several years ago, but never recorded a duet with him because Michael was scared of Madonna’s “provocative” music.
“We spent a chunk of time together, and became friends, but it never happened. I wrote a bunch of words and presented them to him, and he didn’t want to go there. He didn’t want to be provocative. And I said, ‘Well, why come to me?’ I mean, that’s like asking Quentin Tarantino to not put any violence in his films. I felt like he was too inhibited, too shy.”
Madonna paid tribute to Michael in an emotional speech at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month. Even though she used the occasion to “say goodbye” to her old friend, the star admits that she can’t stop thinking about Michael, and the torment he faced at the hands of the media.
