Madonna posed in sexy bikini on May 2010 issue of Interview Magazine, and her musculature is perfect. At 51, the Material Girl looks youthful and active. 

In her interview with the mag the 51-year-old ‘Material Girl’ talks about visiting Africa twice a year. 

“I go to Malawi twice a year. It’s where two of my children were adopted from, and I have a lot of projects there that I go and check up on and children who I look after. It’s sort of a commitment that I’ve made to this country and the hundreds of thousands of children there who have been orphaned by AIDS. I made a documentary about it [I Am Because We Are, 2008], and it’s just become part of my life. I’m going to meet with Jeffrey Sachs [the economist]. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. He’s starting a global education initiative, and I’m going to be his Girl Friday, so to speak. We’re going to hold a press conference to talk about the school for girls that I’m building in Malawi. It’s kind of our way of making sure that every kid has a chance to have an education-more specifically girls, but boys as well. Girls, though, in a lot of developing countries don’t have the opportunity to go to school, nor are they encouraged to go to school, so what we’re doing is the beginning of a dream. But I’m going to Malawi for lots of reasons.”

She also talked about ex husband Sean Penn’s work in Haiti: He’s got a fire under his ass, that’s for sure. A bee in his bonnet.

On collaborating with Alek Keshishian on the new film W.E.: I’ve known Alek for years, and we have a weird kind of brother-sister relationship. One minute we’re hugging each other and crying on each other’s shoulders, and the next minute we’re slamming the door in each other’s face and not speaking to each other for a month. [laughs]

On making a movie vs making record: Making records and putting my shows together-except at the very beginning of my career-I’ve never really experienced much resistance. But when you make a movie, it seems like there’s nothing but resistance. Every other day, it’s like, “What am I doing? This is insane. I could be off gardening right now.

On getting her first record deal: Seymour Stein is the person who signed me and gave me my first record deal. He listened to my demo. He was in the hospital, and he had me come in to visit him. He was hooked up to all these weird devices-I don’t know what was wrong with him. But he made me bring my boom box and play my music for him. He was laying there in bed in his boxer shorts and a wife-beater.
