MADONNA HINTS AT SUICIDE

Superstar Madonna has hinted that she contemplated suicide during her divorce from director Guy Ritchie last year.
But she said she was saved by non-stop work.
“It was a challenging year,” she told Rolling Stone magazine. “I may have thrown myself off a building. I think work saved me and I'm very grateful that I had work to do.”
As well as her Sticky and Sweet tour, the 51-year-old singer teamed up with Justin Timberlake for her hit 4 ½ minutes and worked with Lil Wayne on her new song, Revolver.
But she revealed she was rejected when she tried to work with another music icon, Eminem.
“I wanted to work with him,” she said. “But he didn't want to work with me. Maybe he's shy.”
She also took a side-swipe at Sir Paul McCartney for his laid-back approach to concerts.
“People have told me, 'You could just go out there and play guitar and sing your songs like like Paul McCartney,' but I'd be bored,” she went on.
“Most of the joy of the shows is the magic of creating them – theatre. I'm a perfectionist. I like hard work. I like to sweat.”
She recalled she developed a tough attitude when nude photographs of her emerged early in her career – but insisted she was not as wild as her image.
“That was the first time I was aware of saying F*** you with my attitude,” she said of her response to the pictures.
“I wasn't going to apologise for anything I've done.”
But she said that despite her risqué image she was actually quite different.
“I didn't really have my first drink until I got divorced the first time, from Sean Penn, when I was 30. I was kind of a geek in high school.”
