Madonna Talks: In an upcoming two-part interview with “Today” host Bryant Gumbel, Madonna says her father doesn’t necessarily agree with the choices she makes, nor she with his, “but we’re both adults and we respect each other’s decisions.” For Christmas, she says her father gave her a “very beautiful” statue of the Virgin Mary and Child. As for her family generally, she says, “I don’t get any sort of special treatment, and in a way it’s a relief.” The interview will air Thursday and Friday on NBC’s “Today.”
