Madonna on the Today Show : "I Need to be a Tougher Mom"

After 15-year-old daughter Lourdes was photographed smoking a cigarette, Madonna says she might have to get more strict with her kids.
The singer and single mom, who’s cultivated an image as a parental disciplinarian, addresses the photo in an interview on NBC’s Rock Center With Brian Williams, airing Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET. The Today show ran a teaser of the sitdown (see video below).
When asked for her reaction to Lourdes’smoking shot, Madonna refers to herself in the third person:’She wasn’t very happy.’
She says she thinks she’s a tough parent,’but honestly, I don’t think I’m as tough as I should be. I think I need to be maybe tougher. It’s hard – every day is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking I’m not very fond of – for anyone. I don’t approve of anyone smoking cigarettes, most of all my daughter.’
Then correspondent Harry Smith brings up a music video of Madonna, ahem, smoking, to which she responds:’I don’t smoke. That’s just an accessory, Harry. There’s a difference. (Lourdes) smoked that cigarette before I did that video!’
Another hot topic in the interview: downward sales of her latest album, MDNA, a week after hitting No. 1 on Billboard.
‘It’s hard to be No. 1. It’s hard to sell records. It’s a lot of competition, and I was extremely elated,’she says of MDNA’s initial sales triumph.

Yes, Madonna. With that poor promo it's hard to be #1.

She looks gorgeous.

Léo.

Some people really don't know about it. She looks kinda tired in the beginning but still beautiful.

It truly is a blessing & a curse being Madonna and a fan/stan.
Yeah sure, Madonna & her fans get to boast about
Being the top selling female artist of all time, the best solo touring artist,
The 30+ accolades & achievements, etc.
But no one ever really knows how much hard work goes
Into yanking a bitches toupee completely bald on a daily basis in honor of our Queen when being attacked.
Or having to stuff the receipts down the throats of those who can't comprehend simple facts.
But we do it for our Queen...

It's just hard work for us all...

P.S.- The bitch is looking ****ing sexy in that video. .

It's incredible that she can still be #1 30 years into her career.

Girls, I'm gonna' need to see that entire interview. I'd watch it because it's on right now, but I don't have a TV.

LOL at her calling it an accessory.

I swear, that was said in the thread about it.

So did Lourdes start smoking before she did the Sex book too, or the Letterman interview? I love Madonna but she really corrupted many young girls in her heyday and now she has the nerve to start acting like the disciplinarian. Like...she doesn't let her kids have chocolate or watch television, of course they're going to rebel when they get older the same way she did.

I thought based on the title, this thread was going to be shady

You think Lola has seen the Sex book?

That's probably why it's not longer being printed, tbh.

She shields her children from seeing all the ****ed up things she has done. There's nothing wrong with that.

Have you ever had the "don't do what I did" talk with your parents?

I'm sure all of our parents did their dirt in their past. It doesn't mean you can't tell your child what it right and what is wrong. It's a do as I say and not do what I do scenario. You want your children to be better than you.

She's very clever in interviews. Just look at how she responds.
