I have waited three
years to say these words. Please welcome five-time
Grammy Award winner, Madonna. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Wow. [CHEERING] OK! Yes, you love her,
but let her talk. So I ran over there to
watch you in the building and we just showed it to them. That was incredible. Thank you. Now, what does that feel like? First of all, what does feel
like moments before you go on? What's your thought process? Well, right before I go on
I'm always saying prayers just to remember everything-- remember my words,
remember my dance steps, don't trip and fall
and look like a fool. I know. Were you in those shoes? That's insane. Yeah. I try to wear the most
dangerous footwear possible. All right, so you're
saying prayers. And then you go out there
and do you just zone out? I try to find somebody in
the audience to connect to. Did you find somebody? Yeah, I did. Who was it? A man screaming hysterically. Yes. But anyway, so you get off. Then I get off. Yeah, then you get off. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Yeah! Let's stick to the music first,
and then we'll get to that. OK. So then you get off
stage, and then what? And then I can't believe
it went by so fast. It's sort of I want to go
back and do it all over again. Yeah. Because you were playing every
single thing that had happened. To do one song in an award
show always freaks me out. Because when it's over with,
I was like, wait a minute. Did I just do it? That was the rehearsal. Let me go back and do it again. Right. And now, how long have you been
working on that performance? For a month. Because we had to
film all the stuff that happened in the
beginning with Gorillaz. That was cool. Yeah. It looked really good. Yeah. Because I thought that
was going to be you, and you were going to
step out of that somehow. Oh good, we tricked you. Yeah, you did. Excellent. And not too many
people trick me. Yeah? So you did. That's what they say, yeah. Yeah, that's what they say? So they've told you. And now I changed right before
you went on stage, thank God, because we would have
had the same outfit. Really? But I notice you have some
crystals on your jacket. I do. I have little
crystals on my jacket. It's nice like that. So everybody wants
to know, and I know you talk about
this all the time. But I was talking to
people before the show. And LL Cool J, who
is in great shape, said ask you how you
stay in such great shape. Are you sick of
talking about that? Go ahead, ask me. OK. How do you stay in
such great shape? [LAUGHTER] First it was running, right? I fell off a horse
and broke nine bones, and it didn't do anything. Yeah, let's talk about
that first then-- [LAUGHS] --the horse situation, how
long have you been riding? Because I just started riding. I've only seriously
been riding for a year. OK. Yeah. And what did the horse do? It wasn't my horse
that threw me. It was somebody else's. So then that must have freaked
you out, because you work out. And suddenly you broke-- what
did you break, everything? I broke my scapula, my
collarbone, five ribs, and my left knuckle. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And so then what did
you do to work out when you were like that? Well, then I sort of didn't
do anything for a month, and it was strange. I shriveled away. And then I had to
start all over again and invent a whole new workout. Well, you look amazing. Thank you. It's incredible. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] We have to take a break. There's all these rumors now-- Looks aren't everything anyway. What? Looks aren't everything. Oh, don't I know it. Yeah. We have to take a break. We'll be right
back with Madonna. Madonna was just saying that
she doesn't watch television. She was saying she's never
seen this show before. You would like the show though,
you really would like it. And I'm glad that you're on it,
even though you hadn't seen it and you're trusting me. I am trusting you. But do you watch
anything on television? I mean, you watch movies. But have you watched
a show actually? I watched stuff on
DVD like The Sopranos, or did you ever see The Office? Yeah. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, the new one
here is good, too. Is it? Steve Carell-- yeah,
it's really good. Yeah. I'll send you some DVDs of
my show, if you watch DVDs. OK. All right. Yeah, all right. I'll send you some
DVDs of my children. I would like to see them. They're smart as
can be and adorable. Thank you. I don't know if you saw-- it was on MTV a while
ago and I just finally got a chance to see it-- I'll Tell You a Secret
is the name of it. I Was Going to Tell
You a Secret, yeah. I'm Going to Tell You a Secret. And god, Lourdes
is smart, amazing. And then little Rocco is
laughing at her jokes. Yeah, he's funny. He really is funny. Yeah. And looks just like Guy. Yes. Exactly. So tell me this, because
now there's rumors. Clear this up. It's talking about you and Guy. Let me see. Let me see how good
we look together. It's good. Yeah, not bad. Not bad. Yeah, that's a good one. He should have shaved. He should have shaved. I like him like that. Do you? He looks a little kind of rough. So they're saying
that y'all split up. What's going on? Really? We split up? That's what they say. OK, well, he's still calling
me every five minutes. OK. [LAUGHTER] Is he here? Is he in town? No, he's in London. Is that hard? I mean, do you spend
much time apart? Well, sometimes. I mean, he works and I work,
and we can't always coordinate our working schedules. What's the longest
you've been apart? The longest? Uh-huh. Two weeks about five years ago. Really? Yeah. And then now it's
never more than a week. That's great. Now, is he into
Kabbalah like you, or would that be a
problem if he wasn't? Oh, no. No problem at all. I would say he studies,
but probably not as enthusiastically as I do. Yeah. No, he does in his own way. He's into the more intellectual
side of it than I am. But as long as you both agree
in the same kind of what life is all about and what
your outlook is, right? I mean, the main thing
is we have to agree on how we raise the children. That's a big one. That would be really hard. Yeah. But I didn't meet
him and say, oh, you have to believe in the
same things I believe in. And when I met him, he was an
atheist and I was a Christian. So my credentials are
being a decent human being. And now you've changed his mind? About what? Not being an atheist. Yeah, I would say he
believes in God now. Maybe he always did. But Brits are sort of allergic
to the idea of that thing. But when you have kids, it's
hard to have kids and not have something for
them to think about. To believe in also. Believe that something
created that-- Right. --beauty. Yeah. Yeah. Trees and stuff-- Everything. --animals, yeah. I'm going to ask
you a few questions that the audience
gave us to ask you. OK. What is your drink of choice? This is from Selena
from Omaha, Nebraska. What is your drink of choice? Is this an alcoholic drink? It's just drink of choice. Oh. Coffee, and lots of it. Really? You drink a lot of coffee? Yeah, I do. Sometimes I drink Red Bull. Really? That's only when I'm desperate. OK, that's only when I have
jet lag and I have a show and I have to wake up and I
need some serious artificial stimulation. But I try not to
do it very often. I know, you're so much
about purity and cleaning. I know, but desperate times
call for desperate measures. I had one. I'd never had one before, and I
thought I was going to explode. Yeah. This is my question. What's your passion besides
your children and your family? Horseback riding. It is? Yeah, I love it. And every single day you ride? I don't, because I
don't have the time to. But if I have a day off,
that's what I want to do. Yeah, I love it. And what's the
name of your horse? Tom. Tom? Yeah. And what kind of horse is it? He's a Welsh cob. All right, we have
to take another break and then you have
a huge announcement that I'm so excited about. OK. We'll tell everybody. I'm not pregnant, don't worry. Now they're not going
to turn it off-- Oh, I'm sorry. --because that's the main thing
they were waiting to hear. Are you going to have
more kids do you think? We're going to say
that in the next part. No, that's something else. We'll say that, too. All right, we'll be right back. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] We're back with Madonna. And I say that just in case you
aren't noticing the jacket-- it's Madonna. It's amazing how people have
followed each and every step. Your journey has been
a very interesting one, and everybody has been with you
every single step of the way. And I'm grateful for that. It's great. Because you're so pushing
the envelope all the time. And I think, obviously,
people love you for it, people hate you for it. But more people love you for
it because you take chances. Well, I think
pushing the envelope, if you decide that you're
going to do that, you also have to accept that
sometimes you're going to ruffle a few feathers. Yeah. That's OK. It's good to shake things up. Well, it's great. If you don't do it,
nothing's going to change. If I don't do it,
who's going to do it? Yeah. Right? That's right. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Let's tell them the big,
exciting announcement. I think it's great. OK. Are you guys ready? Yes! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OK, I can't hide it anymore. Just waiting to see what
you were going to say. No, I'm going on
tour this summer. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I think to commemorate
this announcement, I think maybe Ellen
and I should dance. Yes! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Do you want to? Yeah, what song? Well, I have a song
I like to dance to. But do you have a favorite song
of mine you'd like to dance to? I dance to your songs. The last five days, I've
danced to every single one of your songs, so whichever-- what? Sorry. That? This is it, yeah. But we have to wait
til the beat kicks in. All right. Meanwhile, I'll
say you can log on to our website to purchase a
copy of Madonna's CD, which is doing so well-- Confessions On a Dance Floor. We'll be right back after this.
