MADONNA is the talk of fashion and lifestyle magazine InStyle - stars like MARCIA CROSS, SALMA HAYEK and EVA MENDES have paid tribute to the MATERIAL GIRL through a string of anecdotes.
InStyle editors asked a slew of stars for their Madonna memories and have splashed the comeback across four pages of the September (06) issue of the glossy, together with photos of the many incarnations of the pop superstar.
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star Cross coos, "We used to swim at the same pool. She'd get out and put all of this jewellery on."
Actress ZOOEY DESCHANEL recalls, "The first album I ever got was LIKE A VIRGIN. It was during the Iran Contra conflict. I thought she was saying, 'Like a Persian.'"
Sexy Mendes admits she once tried to look like the Material Girl: "I wore a black miniskirt, white half-gloves, a ribbon in my hair and a big cross. My mother was mortified."
Fellow Latina Hayek credits Madonna for paying respect to her roots: "I was grateful somebody like her appreciated our culture."
And BLACK EYED PEAS singer FERGIE reveals she liked Madonna best when she was a little chubbier. She explains, "I liked when she had a bit of a belly, a cute little womanly pooch (corr)."
Other stars paying tribute to Madonna in the magazine piece include JESSICA BIEL, MARG HELGEBERGER, JAMIE LEE CURTIS, MISCHA BARTON and the pop star's pal GWYNETH PALTROW. (KL/INS/IG)
