MadonnaMadonna has said she isn’t bothered about turned 50 this year because she thinks it’s more important how she feels than how old her birth certificate says she is.

She was asked about her August birthday plans at a recent press conference but when the journalist was reluctant to say the word “fifty”, she replied: “It’s not a bad word, you can say it.”

“I see it as another excuse to have a birthday party.”

“[Physically] I feel stronger now than, maybe, 20 years ago - but I think your physicality is connected to your consciousness so if your mind is strong, your body will be strong.”
