WHEN Madonna speaks, people usually listen, and this time it's Kanye West who she wants to take heed - especially when it comes to behaving at awards shows.
"Don't go to awards shows looking for justice," she advised, referring to his much-documented stage invasions, to which Taylor Swift and Beck have fallen victim to. "That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Just go and have fun. I never got too engaged with who wins awards or not, because I don't honestly think it's that important. So that part of him I can't relate to. Like, what's the point of fighting for somebody, like, 'This person should have got it?' I think sometimes he takes things too seriously."

She is, however, open in her praise of the musician-cum-fashion-designer, who she describes as a "brilliant madman".
" Like, he doesn't have the same filters other people have. He has to blurt things out - he's always saying inappropriate stuff. But he also has brilliant ideas, if you can get him to pay attention long enough, working with him in the studio," she told* Rolling Stone * magazine. "But when they did pay attention, it was brilliant. I was, like, running around with a butterfly net. But I feel like the music business needs him, because everyone's become so politically correct, so safe. I don't always agree with the things he says or does - I don't always like his music, even. But he's a beautiful mess. I love him."
