DOES MADONNA THINK BRITNEY SPEARS IS BETTER THAN LADY GAGA?
Madonna has always had a connection with her fans -- specifically her gay fans. She told The Advocate that she understands how Lady Gaga can have a similar connection with her young gay following. But does that mean she thinks Lady Gaga is better than her?
Madonna said, "It seems natural, and I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm. I mean, she's not Britney Spears. She's not built like a brick s--- house. She seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men."
Meanwhile, Madonna's 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare, will be re-released on Blu-Ray on April 3.

MDNA will be released in March.
According to Michael Rapino, president and chief executive of Live Nation, tickets will go on sale right after the Super Bowl.
