Fierce competition!
Madonna was recently asked to name the greatest death of all time, and she said she was just trying to rank the dead. However, she chose John F. Kennedy Jr. among her deceased ex-lovers.
Material Girl are teaming up with Grindr to promote their new album “Confessions II.” And instead of doing a typical press tour, she created a video with playwright Jeremy O. Harris, drag queen Bob, dancer Ivy Mugler, designer Raul López, and ID’s Marcello Gutierrez asking the questions.
Page Six obtained the video before its release, and in one particularly memorable moment, Lopez asks, “Who’s your best down?”
“I only say the names of dead people,” the “Papa Don’t Preach” superstar said, covering his mouth and whispering, “John Kennedy Jr.” — inciting a chorus of “Shut up, PPPPPPP!” The group’s voices were so loud that even the deceased heir might have heard them.
Borrowing from a rare journalistic context, Lopez added: “Everyone says his dk was crazy and he was a good fk.”
“Mmm, hmmm,” Madonna affirmed with an inescapable sense of satisfaction.
“You’re the third person I’ve heard of that,” said Lopez, who should probably be considered Anderson Cooper’s replacement on “60 Minutes.”
The two dated for a short period of time in the late 1980s.
“Madonna was a total flirt. Nothing more. It was just a fling,” one of Kennedy’s closest friends said in JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography by Rosemary Terenzio and Liz McNeil, published in 2024.
The book claims that Madonna was dating actress Christina Haag and that the two met while Madonna was married to Sean Penn.
An anonymous friend of Kennedy said the pop icon came over to JFK Jr. and said, “It was flattering. She was at her best.”
It was “all about physical attraction and nothing more,” the source claimed.
Rather impressively, if this book is to be believed, John-John won Madonna’s boudoir blue ribbon (deceased department) without using all the usual tools at his disposal.
“They had no protection, but she was very careful about HIV prevention,” explains a friend.
That didn’t stop the couple from having “different ways of having fun,” with Kennedy saying the “Vogue” singer’s figure was “one of the most beautiful bodies I’ve ever seen.”
Years later, the book says, Penn appeared on the December 1998 cover of Kennedy’s George magazine, and the two had dinner together.
According to this friend, JFK Jr. assured Penn that “he never knew Madonna in a Biblical sense.”
And proving that he comes from a family of lawyers, that may have been technically true.
Rivals of Kennedy’s late lovers include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Luke Perry and Tupac Shakur.
We hear the video will be published on Grindr’s in-app media hub, Grindr Presents, as well as on its YouTube and Instagram accounts.
The app company is also releasing a limited edition picture disc vinyl version of the new record.
