Ooh - there's more emiment medical discourse from Madonna! Apparently her "narrative is shifting". Into its Eat My Science phase?
This month's Vanity Fair cover story and interview contain much to enjoy, but Lost in Showbiz singles out the following exchange for those who actually want to learn a little something spiritual today, as opposed to just splash about in the shallows of evidential proof and medical logic. [Bonus and unrelated fact for our truth-seekers: Reese Witherspoon has bought two pigs.]
Madonna: Do you have a daughter?
Interviewer: No, three sons.
[Madonna looks at me accusingly.]
Interviewer: I didn't choose it - it just happened.
Madonna: Do you believe that? You think things just happen?
Interviewer: I think that just happened.
Madonna: Mm-hmm.
Interviewer: So who's making the decision?
Madonna: You are, you and your missus.
Interviewer: About what kind of kids we want?
Madonna: You chose it. Your soul chose it.
Interviewer: No. Do you believe that? That my insides wanted boys?
Madonna: Unconsciously. Yes.
Mm-hmm. Normally, it would now be timely to quote Lost in Showbiz deity Steven Seagal's immortal words in Under Siege, wherein our hero Casey Ryback inquires: "What kind of babbling bullshit is this?" But really, it couldn't be simpler. To clarify: Madonna's soul chose the sex of Lourdes and Rocco, but some other soul entirely assigned gender to her orphan-effect adoptive Malawian one, Little David Banda. Now let that be an end to it.
