Madonna Letterman Video 9-30-09

Here is the Madonna Letterman video of her September 30, 2009 interview on Late Show with David Letterman, in support of the release of her compilation album, Celebration, her third greatest hits album. It marked her eighth appearance on the show.

With Letterman noting some of the many achievements of the Queen of Pop, such as selling 200 million albums throughout her career, her Sticky & Sweet Tour grossing a record $408 million, her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, she then made a grand entrance, carried aloft by hockey players.

The wide ranging, often humorous interview covered numerous subjects from her dislike of the term Madge to references to A-Rod, and more. After noting her eight year marriage to British director Guy Ritchie took place during the Bush years — “It was a good time to be out of the country” — she assessed marriage stating, “I’d rather get run over by a train.”

When she revealed that she had never eaten New York pizza, because she was not a ‘cheese person’ she and Letterman were then seen on camera going next door where they were served pizza with olives, but without cheese. Seen at the end of the second video below. [Source: Madonna on Letterman]

In a recent exclusive interview for PoPeater, conducted by Billboard journalist Larry Flick, Madonna discussed a range of topics including the newly released album. Of her future plans, she said:

“I have several projects going. I have another script that I’ve written, and I want to direct another film. Hopefully, I’ll be doing that next year. I also have many, many projects going on in Africa right now that I want to bring to fruition, like building a girls school and working on two new documentaries that I want to make. So, I’ve got lots of projects going.”
