Madonna wants to be Jesus
16 Feb 2007-
The controversial singer - who infuriated Christian church leaders by performing
while hung from a cross wearing a crown of thorns during her 'Confessions' world
tour - wants to be worshipped as a spiritual leader.
Madonna said in
an interview with America's Sirius Satellite radio: "For me we all need to be
Jesus in our time. Jesus' message was to love your neighbour as yourself, and
there are people in need. I hope that people got that message. Of course some
people thought, 'Oh, she's just being controversial, she's just getting on a
cross and trying to p**s people off,' but that wasn't my intention at all. I
want to be like Gandhi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon - but I want to
stay alive."
The 48-year-old
singer also said gay men relate to her better because she is such a strong
woman.
She said: "Gay
men are perfect men for girls who are tough. They're not threatened by strong
women, and they're usually very in touch with their feelings and pay attention
to details. I've always had an affinity with gay men."
