Madonna, currently possessing a butt that just won’t quit, has finally caught onto Gwen Stefani’s little game; imitate, don’t innovate.
Now 47 and loving it, slinky-haired, non-Nazi Madonna is not about to admit her eyesight is failing, even if she is still happily married to Guy Ritchie. Madonna said:
"(Gwen) ripped me off. We work with a lot of the same people. She married a Brit, she’s got blonde hair and she likes fashion."
This is difficult for us, as Gwen Stefani (CDs) is pretty much to music what mustard is to cornflakes, but Madonna (CDs) is not exactly top of our birthday honours list ether.
We’ll just sit on the fence instead.
"I don’t mind. I think she’s very sweet and talented."
Most generous of Madge, that. Gwen Stefani rightly deserves nothing more than a good slap and to be forced to wear a different shade of lipstick. Pharrell does not help matters much either.
"‘Can I have it like that?‘, ‘You’ve got it like that‘, ‘Can I have it like that?‘, ‘You’ve got it like that‘ ‘Can I have it like that?‘, ‘You’ve got it like that‘."
Repeat until suicide. Oh, that whiny copycat bitch.
We’ll have to go with Madonna instead.

Madonna: Gwen copies me – Ananova
[story by Chris Laverty]
Loretta says
I love Gwen she’s great! Madonna has just gotten old and her music hasn’t gone anywhere for a while. Maybe its that change from Christian to Jew thing.
Mike says
i dissagree, her music has gone everywhere! expect the unexpected from madonna. and thats why mostly alot of people didnt like her recent american life album. they were all used to repetitive music in the industry, hence gwen. american life is one of madonna’s greatest albums in my opinnion, its so personal and intence. she brings us into her life, she sings about it. that album had a huge statement, and i’m glad she made it!
josh says
I dont think madonna has gone old, i still feel she looks sexy and cool, and her music is still hot
i do feel Gwen has taken the look of madonna when she was doing the Blonde ambition tour, but she has added her own look by taking images from the 50’s too.
i feel both ladys look hot and sexy
i love both of the music, i wish they could both write a song together – it would be great
i dont know what that person saying – that: ” Maybe its that change from Christian to Jew thing”. thats silly, what has that got to do with madonna’s look
both ladys rule the music and fashion world
Jonathan says
Gwen is great, but Madonna is better. Everyone has been saying that Gwen has copied Madonna’s look since Don’t Speak video. Where she sort of looks like Madonna from the Live to Tell Video.
The one thing I don’t like about Gwen is that she is trying to please everyone with her album. Her new song samples a B.I.G song that has been sample to death!!!
Sugar says
Whoa…..Gwen copies Madonna??? How about Madonna has built her career on copying others, and claiming it for her own? Examples would include the Marilyn look, the play on Hinduism (done by Stefani first), the look of androgany like Marlena Dietrich did in Blue Angel…there are countless other ways. Chances are that the reason everyone likes Hung Up is because it’s basically Gimme Gimme Gimme with her singing over it…not something she created on her own. Everyone samples from other songs these days. People, you are giving her way too much credit for ideas that aren’t always her own.
dan says
who friggin cares they are both great artists…just enjoy the music and stop overanalyzing …..
Banafsheh says
Madonna is Madonna and Gwen is Gwen.
Gwen is sweet and talented. Madonna is nasty and talented.They are very different people.
What has inspire GWEN IS WHERE SHE LIVES AND THE SPIRIT OF ORANGE COUNTY.Madonna may have inspired her to an extent but ,Gwen is Gwen!
Subzero says
Sounds like an old woman cant except that she is old… i think shes gross…gwen can come out with some annoying songs… but they dont sound or feel like madonnas music… why are we even talkin bout this… go plant a tree… take your dog for a walk… get away from this media hypnosis
Wendy says
Madonna, with all of your Kaballah training you sound like you have learned nothing. I dont know if you did or did not state that Gwen Stefani copied you or not – but it sounds catty and ugly. These are not the kind of words I expect from a Madonna with spiritual training. I guess Madonna is worried about competition. Too bad. I dont think she should.
Raul says
I agree with Josh. Madonna and Gwen Stefani are what a famous person should represent–and that’s being a “character”. Gwen Stefani has been a punk chick, a vogue girl, Alice in Wonderland, a pirate…and Madonna’s been…well everything but fat and ugly! Another great ingredient to being someone famous is not letting anyone into their private lives. Over the years, it seems that the more you give away, the less people expect from you–you become “everyone else” and not an idol/god/icon.
Both Gwen and Madonna rule in fashion, TRUE music, and beauty. They are both great performers and great ARTISTS. And Josh, yeah…they should write a song together. The only mistake I think Madonna’s done is take that horrible-looking witch Britney Spears under her wing. She should’ve taken Gwen Stefani!
Joe says
I think these topics are interesting because I’m trying to understand postmodern iconography. Nobody gets the real picture here, however. Those of you interested in Madonna should read “Madonna as Postmodern Myth” The “modern” is the time period in our history where everything was created – or done for the first time. Marilyn, Elvis etc. The time we live in is postmodern which is the “constant comment on the modern.” Madonna’s career is far and above any in the industry because she understands this concept. In fact, she was the first female artist to exploit this philosophy. Her life (her career), the virgin (the vamp) etc…is in constant irony (truly postmodern). She has created the myth beyond all myths, which in the postmodern world, is truly artistic. Unfortunately, Gwen and Britney and the rest follow the same guidelines as the “Madonna blueprint” tells them to. In the process, though, they are not being artistic, they are using someone elses process of commenting on the past. The world needs more artists who change the way we look at things and the world.

Madonna is so immature! She is always claiming everyone is “Copying” her ONLY MADONNA can have a British man and like fashion And have blonde LONG hair and red lips? Very Child like for a 50 something year old woman…………. Marilyn Monroe could say the same exact thing about Madonna if she were alive stealing looks………….. Madonna is not the first woman to have blonde hair and red lipstick on GROW UP everyone! If I were a Music Artist and dyed my hair blonde and I wear red lipstick Madonna would lash out on me and accuse me of “Ripping” her off Madonna DOES not OWN everything and people Just because Gwen work with the same people as she did Madonna cannot even sing well Gaga sings better than her and she also accuses Gaga of “Copying” her Because Gaga also has blonde hair and she is also Italian same with Gwen…………… Madonna need GROW UP Everyone in inspired by something or someone like you know… MARILYN MONROE? completely “RIPPED off her image Hypocrite!!!!! And her music is decent But I actually prefer Gwen and Gaga more honest and traditional and less prideful and stuck UP what I like about Gwen and GAGA is they connect with the people and they can put a show while doing it Everyone music is different NO AT ALL A LIKE maybe inspired BUT DIFFERENT in it OWN WAY
Alexandras says
Marilyn Monroe could have said the SAME thing about Madonna
MADONNA does not own blonde hair and red lip look Is someone going to accuse me of “Ripping” ‘The” Selena Gomez look Because I have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes????? I also look like her in a way Madonna is a Immature WOMAN! But age does not make mature It is the mentality and experiences that make you MATURE some people are never or cannot become mature It is a lot of factor I don”t think Madonna should be talking Like I said…… MARILYN MONROE she completely “RIPPED” off the look She need to GROW THE FUCK UP and GAGA can SING better Madonna cannot even sing that WELL and she think she is hot shot PATHETIC!!!!!
AJ Skinner says
I was about to say Gwen reminds me MORE of Marilyn Monroe than Madonna it would be like if i wanted to dye my hair back to my natural blonde hair and i like fashion i guess Madonna would say “You copied me”god she thinks she owns every blonde look…….
