MADONNA’S AUTHOR ACT STRANGER THAN FICTION
There was no kissy-face yesterday in Manhattan, as Madonna condescended to appear at a bookstore before some 250 people – some as young as 2 – whom she forced to wait for four hours, in a tiny room, for the privilege of a 14-second audience.
The aging pop singer, failed actress and full-time attention-seeker, the mother of two children by two different men, only one of whom she deigned to marry, has set herself up as the author of books designed to be read by children – and not under the covers with a flashlight.
But she hasn’t changed. In her thirst to keep the spotlight trained directly on her, Madonna made it as difficult as possible for her fans to get up close and personal.
Kids, and their moms, signed up for a lottery whose winners were granted a few secs of Madonna’s time. Only cameras and a few, fawning TV people – “Diane Sawyer is doing a special!” a pushy p.r. person crowed – were invited.
Madonna refused to autograph her book in anyone’s presence, and instead handed out pre-signed copies. One per family. You have to share, kids.
And don’t expect a little peck on the cheek.
Those who made the cut didn’t seem to mind. Lizzy Granada, 32, of South Philadelphia came with daughters Marissa Lourdes, 3, and Nina Lucia, 2.
“I’ve been listening to Madonna since I was 12 years old,” Granada said, showing off her book.
The wriggling tots were too busy playing with the plastic bag to pay any attention.
But then again, this really wasn’t about them
