Madonna opens up about parenting: Lourdes has 'stopped talking to me'
[*]She may rule the dance floor, but the pop singer admitted she has the same difficulties raising her children as any mom.
Madonna has the same trouble raising teenagers as any mom. ‘Ever since my daughter got an iPhone, she stopped talking to me,’ she said of 16-year-old Lourdes.
Madonna can hold a stadium in rapt attention, but she still has trouble getting her daughter Lourdes to look up from her smartphone.
"Ever since my daughter got an iPhone she stopped talking to me," the mother of four admitted on "Good Morning America."
The "MDMA" singer, 54, insists that's she "pretty strict" when it comes to her 16-year-old daughter, only recently giving her a mobile phone.
"Seeing my daughter at 16 — it's kind of uncomfortable," Madonna confessed. "She's my little girl and she's also a woman."
It's not just Lourdes who has been giving her mother grief. Son Rocco, 12, is also growing up.
She described Rocco as "a foot taller" than he was last year, and now preoccupied with "looking at girls' butts."
"Terrible," the pop star said, shaking her head.
But it's not all bad. Madonna confessed that she loved having Rocco on tour.
"He's the showboat of the family," she said with a laugh.

Madonna premieres tour film, talks secret project
[*]NEW YORK (AP) — Madonna said there were days when she was exhausted during her recent "MDNA" world tour, but she decided to press on.
You won't see those behind-the-scenes battles in her new concert film, "The MDNA Tour," which premieres Saturday on the online and cable network Epix. But you will see the 54-year-old pop icon performing — mainly highlights from her Miami shows — for two hours on her tour, which started in May of last year and wrapped in December.
"There's no such thing as not in the mood because the show must go on, right?" the singer said at the film's premiere Tuesday night at New York's Paris Theater. "I'm a human being like everybody else, so I would have my nights, my bad nights and I would cry and I would say, 'I don't want to do this.'"
Madonna told a feverish crowd of fans, her dancers, her tour team, socialites and members of press that she wanted her shows to be a relief for those paying to see her.
"I sold the tickets and I can't let my audience down," she told the crowd of a few hundred. "Before every show everyone came into my dressing room and we got in a circle and said prayers and 50 percent of the time I said them and 49 percent of the time I was crying, usually from over-exhaustion. But there's something about pushing yourself out there when it's pouring rain or you're freezing cold or you don't feel well or something really crazy happened in the world like Hurricane Sandy."
Madonna's tour, which included design help from her 16-year-old daughter, Lourdes, also featured her 12-year-old son, Rocco, as a dancer.
"He was going to go on my tour whether he liked it or not," said Madonna. "I was thrilled to see him every night. He gave me a boost of energy. However, he does not look like that (now). In one year he has grown, he's 6 feet tall and his voice has deepened. I'm a little bit scared of him."
Madonna also unveiled a secret project Tuesday — a collaboration with photographer Steven Klein. She showed a one-minute trailer that featured her background dancers and showed the singer being dragged on the floor.
She was answering questions before she premiered the black-and-white video and told the crowd she was leaving the stage so they could see it.
"No," they screamed.
"Well I can't sit in front of the trailer. I'll just do a stage dive. No. I saw the Billboard Awards — no stage dive," she said jokingly, referring to R&B singer Miguel's jump that injured a woman at the awards show last month.
Madonna's new concert film will be released on DVD on Aug. 27.
