MADONNA poses for the most amazing photograph of her career — with her leg bent behind her head.
Yoga-mad Madge, 44, was snapped in the position during a stunning photoshoot after calling normal poses “boring”.
She said: “I’m not interested in just going for a fashion shoot. If I don’t feel like I’m creating something that means something, I don’t want to do it.”
Madonna — whose hit films included the documentary In Bed With Madonna — also talked about her marriage to Lock, Stock director Guy Ritchie in the interview with US magazine W.
And she admitted once “just being an ego-driven nutcase”.
The Queen of Pop said of her relationship with Guy, 34: “I actually think marriage is a very important thing. I had to work hard to get a good marriage. Everyone does.
“You have to make a lot of efforts and compromises. I knew Guy was the right person in five minutes but it took me several years to actually make it happen.”
But the mum of two denied rumours of a third pregnancy, saying: “Do I look pregnant to you?”
She called her daughter Lourdes, six, and son Rocco, two, “my real works of art”.
And she says one of her priorities is to “hang out with my kids”.
The singer and actress admitted her first marriage to actor Sean Penn “wasn’t an easy time in my life”.
She added: “You can’t just share a few hobbies and think each other’s hot. You have to be heading in the same direction.”
Talking about her 1992 Sex book — which caused a storm — she said: “I do certainly wonder, why did I make that choice?
“It wasn’t just about sex. It was about money and power and the way things looked — getting people’s approval — all that stuff. I was just being an ego-driven nutcase.
“I thought I was doing a service to mankind, being revolutionary, liberating women. I wasn’t.”
She claims she now realises she is famous “for a reason”.
Madonna added: “My real responsibility is to bring light to the world and make the world a better place.”
The star — who also poses as a pole dancer in the magazine shoot — talked about her constant changes of image.
She said: “People always see the evolution of my career as marketing. I change. I evolve. People can’t understand that, so they put a label on it like ‘marketing’. I call it growing.”
Madonna, who has been pictured recently back to her natural brunette look, says having the same hairstyle all her life would be “so boring”.
She claims following the Jewish mystic cult Kabbalah has taught her not to gossip or criticise others.
Madonna said: “If we truly believed that every act of denigrating somebody is a small form of murder — the negative energy you create by talking badly — we’d never do it again.
“All anybody does any more is slag everybody off. Isn’t it important to speak up against that?”
She denied she refused to attend the Golden Globe awards where she was due to sit next to Elton John, after he said her single Die Another Day was “the worst Bond tune of all time”.
She added: “Every once in a while you do get caught up in that — ‘Oh, they said this about me’.”
Madonna is working on a musical project for the cinema after Swept Away — her film with hubby Guy — flopped.
She claims she now realizes she is famous “for a reason”.
Whoo Boy you can take the girl out of the trash but you can't take the trash out of the girl!!!!
Madonna added: “My real responsibility is to bring light to the world and make the world a better place.”
The amazing part is that it's only the one leg. Usually it's both legs. < /sarcasm>
