Madonna Asked To Partner With 'Cougar' Dating Website

Madonna Cougar

First Posted: 09/08/11 02:46 PM ET Updated: 11/08/11 05:12 AM ET

Madonna may be an iconic popstar but she's also known for her taste in younger men. The 53-year-old is currently dating 24-year-old Brahim Zaibat and dated then 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Lutz after her split from Guy Ritchie.

And it's that track record with younger guys that has the online dating website, Cougarlife.com offering her $300,000 to record a song and video for their site, reports RadarOnline.

The website describes itself as "the premier online dating service that pairs women in their prime with younger men and ends the double standard!"

RadarOnline obtained the offer letter sent to the pop star's rep, which says Madonna is "without a doubt the queen of Cougars," and as such the website is interested in forming a partnership.

The letter proposes that Madge write a song and accompanying video for the site that must be released by Valentines Day. The company also promises that if the song and video do well on the charts and online she'll receive an extra $700,000.

Madonna's image has taken a bit of a hit recently -- she publicly dissed a bouquet of hydrangeas given to her by a fan at the Venice Film Festival and a video of the incident quickly went viral online. Perhaps more surprising than the outburst, was the statement her rep released regarding the incident:

"She's entitled to like any flower she wants and she didn't want to hurt the feeling of the hydrangeas of the world," her rep said (via CNN). "No disrespect to the hydrangeas lovers of the world but she prefers different types of flowers."

That type of behavior isn't helping the one-time Queen of Pop, who is being sued by her neighbor, recently dissed Lady Gaga, and has human right's groups irritated with her choice to thank Nazi sympathizers, John Galliano and Leni Riefenstahl, in the credits of her film "W.E."

According to The Daily, Abraham Foxman, the national director of The Anti-Defamation League said they were surprised with the lack of sensitivity by Madonna or her people.

"The fact that she practices Kabbalah or whatever does not make her an instant expert on history, Jewish history, or sensitivity," he told the paper, adding that she should simply remove the offending names from the credits to correct the problem.

With negative publicity bubbling, perhaps bringing couples together via the dating site could do her image some good.

Why would Madonna record anything for anyone for such a small amount of money? Someone like Madonna could probably get more than $300,000 for agreeing to show up at a nightclub. This company put this out there for publicity knowing full well that it's too small to even be a real offer, and Huffington Post is falling for it and giving free publicity for this sleazy website. This article really shows how not perceptive Huffington Post has gotten.

How can a woman be in her prime beyond child rearing years?

No one with anything resembles an ear for ACTUAL music would include Madonna on any list but perhaps "The best Marketers in Transient Disposable Derivative Pop/Dance Music." Get off the pipe folks... she copied street trends and through her behavior and her label's promotions got fat off popularizing the ideas of others. She can't sing, she can't play an instrument, she can't write... what's her talent again? Oh yeah... she makes a lot of money. Surely that PROVES she's talented right? Like McDonalds selling the most hamburgers proves their FOOD is the best. Ha ha ha.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Critics, of all stripes are absurd. There is no such thing as "good" music, food, movies, etc..

What's the moniker for the phase AFTER "Cougar?" Let's see... how about "Old and just friggin' Sad?" That's accurate to be sure, but needs to be catchier I suppose...

What "one-time" Queen of Pop are you talking about? There is only one and it is Madonna! No abdication!

um, are they serious? $300,000 for a song and video, with the possibility of an additional $700,000? why would madonna do that for a lousy million bucks? she was paid around $20 million just to let microsoft use 'ray of light' in their ad campaign a few years ago. it's obviously just a marketing ploy to get in the press. i guess it worked! lol

For a woman who pushed the sexual envelope and was embraced by the mass media as a New Age woman, Madonna is nowadays a desperate "cougar" who is moving between young men in meaningless trysts devoid of true love.

Meanwhile, Gibson.com, a heavy rock site, named its 50 Greatest Songs of the 80's and Madonna was the only solo female to make the list and she placed 2 songs on it. No matter what she does, her music is her legacy and everytime one of these critics "Greatest" list comes out, she and her music are usually very high on it.

I don't think I've ever heard the term "cougar" used in a complimentary way, usually it's mocking. These women aren't admired, they're looked down as as pathetic. I really doubt Madonna wants to be made fun of.

She looks like a cheap store mannequin and seemingly shares the same personality traits. Why is she all over HP these days? Why must we be subjected to her mid-life crisis cry for rejuvenation?? Put her in a retirement home already.

How vogue of Madonna to be dating a man so young and making herself a "cougar".
