Madonna is defending her decision to include 9-year-old daughter Lourdes and 4-year-old son Rocco in her new documentary, "I'm Going to Tell You a Secret," which debuts Friday on MTV. The suddenly ubiquitous pop icon tells MTV that while she doesn't want to exploit her dairy- and pop culture-deprived offspring, the film "would be a lie" if they weren't in it. "It's a fine line to walk," says Madonna, who explains that the footage with Lourdes and Rocco was filmed by a family friend, so "everyone was very comfortable. Honestly, they didn't even know [the cameraman] was there. They just sort of behaved as they normally do."

One person who probably won't be TiVo-ing Madonna's latest intimate portrait is Jon Bon Jovi, who takes issue with stars who expose their children to the public eye. "She can say what she likes but Madonna takes those kids out to every premiere she ever goes to," the follically challenged rocker and father of four rails to the London Mirror. "These kids have done nothing and yet we all know what they look like? It's crazy, man, but each to their own." (In Madonna's defense, neither Lourdes nor Rocco has accompanied her on her recent promotional pit stops). Brags Bon Jovi, "My kids don't have security guards outside their school because no one knows what they look like. And that's the way I'm going to keep it."






Follically challenged?? Ouch!!!

what does "follically challenged" mean?

Wow, so now he's follically challenged (losing his hair). I knew those comments would come after some of those pictures from Monaco surfaced.

So what if he's losing his hair?!? He's 43 years old, it's gonna happen sometime, why the hell does it matter!? I can't believe how the media can be so picky about every little detail or "imperfection" in a public person, it's so sick! They're only humans for God's sake!

I don't know Madonnas motives for bringing her children, but I wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion of exploitation.

Some parents just want to include their children in their lives as much as possible. So, Madonna tries to spend more time with her children by lugging them along, while Jon hires a babysitter and the kids see even less of him. Not saying that is the truth, but clearly the situation can be interpreted a number of ways.

I agree.

They need something to write about.
As for the kid comments I'd bet that there is more to that statement than was printed. It just sounds like an incomplete statement to me, probably as usual it was picked from a longer more complete statement that would give it a whole other context. There is a reason it's called gossip.

Jon should stick to the music, not commenting on others. It's not his ****ing issue if Madonna feeds her kids to the dogs or whatever. ****ing ay Jon is turning into gossiping housewife
