Hot or Not: Madonna's Hard Candy?

Posted by Emily Farris

 

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the cover of Madonna's upcoming album, "Hard Candy." Well, part of it, anyway. We're a little perplexed by the title; it seems more appropriate for Miley Cyrus. And Madonna looks younger than us in this image, and she's twice our age. Maybe she's covering up her laugh lines with the black cloth? But wouldn't they have just Photoshopped them out? And does she even laugh? Ah, we're so confused! Mostly because we want to know if a fifty-year-old woman's inner thighs really look like that? Really? 

So... we're going with eerily hot in a she-might-fall-apart-when-you-bang-her kind-of way. What say you, Scanner readers?

"in a she-might-fall-apart-when-you-bang-her way"...seriously? first of all, we all know madonna's got a hardcore yoga routine--have you taken note of her biceps over the past, oh, ten years? i'm sure there's photoshop here, but my god, do you have to be so transparently ageist? i'm 23, but even i'm not ignorant enough to think that women in their early fifties are too fragile for gettin' down. come on, nerve...i thought you were supposed to be sexually progressive.

We're more worried about her plastic surgery. Just her face falling apart. Maybe we should have been more clear. Good point on the yoga. She's just apparently had lots of plastic surgery on her face. Lots and lots.

Madonna – Photoshopped or not – will be hotter and in better shape at age 60 than most people half her age.

My wife is 49 and while I must admit she does not look like Madonna (sweet baby Jesus that woman is still so hot!) older women are ANIMALS in bed.  Seriously.
