Pink says Madonna 'doesn't like' her because of a misunderstanding over 'fangirling' on 'Live with Regis and Kelly'
- Singer P!nk told Howard Stern that Madonna doesn't like her.
- The pop stars met in 2001 when they both appeared on "Live With Regis and Kelly."
In a recent interview with Howard Stern, singer P!nk said that though she admires Madonna, the feeling isn't mutual for the "Like A Virgin" singer.
"Madonna doesn't like me," P!nk said when Stern asked her if they were friends. "Some people just don't like me... I do understand it, I'm a polarizing individual."
"She tried to kind of play me on 'Regis and Kelly' and I'm not the one, so it didn't work out," the "Missundaztood" singer continued.
When prompted to give more details, P!nk called the story "silly."
"I fucking love Madonna and I love her no matter what like I still love her... she was such an inspiration to me," the singer continued.
P!nk went on to explain that while they were both on "Live With Regis and Kelly," in 2001, "it got twisted around that I was, like, fangirling and was dying to meet Madonna when in actuality she invited me into her dressing room."
"And so, I just said a joke. When Regis brought me out he's like, 'How does it feel to meet... I mean I heard you're just falling over yourself backstage. How does it feel?' I'm like, 'I thought she wanted to meet me,'" P!nk continued, noting that "it didn't work out for us" because Madonna presumably didn't appreciate the joke.
Representatives for Madonna didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
P!nk has also been making headlines because she recounted her experience of making the video for the 2001 hit "Lady Marmalade."
"It wasn't very fun to make. I'm all about fun, and it was a lot of fuss. There were some personalities. Kim and Mya were nice," she told BuzzFeed UK.
As she didn't mention Christina Aguilera, another collaborator on the song, some people took it as a sign that there might still be some bad blood between the singers.
But P!nk quickly set the record straight on Twitter.
"Y'all are nuts Xtina had shit to do with who was on that song. If you don't know by now- I'm not 'shading' someone by telling it over and over and over what actually happened," she wrote, adding that she was too busy selling concert tickets and albums to reengage in old drama.
In a follow-up tweet she added: "Also- I kissed xtinas mouth. I don't need to kiss her ass."
P!nk's album "Trustfall" is out now.
