Madonna is clearly an open-minded mother when it comes to drug use, admitting on a U.K. chat show that she tells daughter Lourdes, 18, and son Rocco, 14, that when it comes to drugs they should “do things in moderation.”;
During an appearance on Britain’s The Jonathan Ross Show, Madonna pointed out that she’s “not a fan of drugs. They just don’t suit me,”; she said. “The handful of times I have tried drugs, many many many many years ago, I just didn’t enjoy it. I wanted it out of me. I started guzzling bottles of water thinking that was going to end it.”;
But what does she tell her kids about drugs? “I just ask my daughter [Lourdes] to make wise decisions and to do things in moderation and to try not to mix her alcohol,”; she told Ross. “I am not going to say, “No, don’t do it’ because that is just absurd. And it is not fair. Yeah, I did it.”;
She also addressed her embarrassing fall at this week’s BRIT Awards, blasting rumours the whole thing was a stunt and admitting the her onstage tumble turned out to be a “horror show.”;
“I’m a creature of habit and I rehearse everything — everything, everything, everything — and I was thrown a wrench at the very beginning of my entrance,”; she revealed. “I was told to tie my cape and start much further back than we had rehearsed so because I had to walk so much further, everybody was worried that my cape was going to slide off because it’s quite heavy so they tied it really tight around my neck.
“So here I am marching in like a queen and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string and it would not come undone and my two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage. I had a choice, I could either be strangled or fall with the cape and I fell.”;
She added: “It was a horrible nightmare because I like to be amazing. Seriously, I rehearse and I rehearse and I rehearse so that when I do the show, it’s effortless and I create magic and I did the opposite. I actually created a horror show for everyone.”;
