Madonna (Kind Of) Defends Tom Cruise

by Nicole

Can you hear that choking sound? That’s the sound of Madonna extracting her thigh-high boot from her mouth, where it appears to have got stuck. When asked by a reporter from New York Magazine if she sympathized with Tom Cruise, Madonna, who is doing the rounds to promote the release of her new album Hard Candy, responded by saying:

"I don't care if people worship turtles or frogs - if they're good people, that's all I care about, and he (Cruise) is a good person. I think he gets a raw deal, just as I think the orphans in Malawi get a raw deal; just as I think a lot of marginalized people get a raw deal."

While the material girl clearly meant well, we can't help but enjoy that fact that she inadvertently called the much maligned Cruise a "marginalized" person, and compared his Scientology beliefs to the deification of amphibians. With friends like this....
