Madonna Tells Some Secrets

(CBS)  Over the last two decades, Madonna has reinvented herself several times.

She's at it again, says The Early Show national correspondent Tracy Smith, with a new documentary offering some surprising insights into her world and her spritual evolution.

The film premiered Tuesday night, and Smith was there.

"Blink," says Smith, "and you'd think it's the '90s: Madonna, a crowd of screaming fans, and a new documentary."

The pop icon joked during a chat with Smith at the premiere, "I was gonna call this movie 'Truth or Dare, Part Two,' but I decided to be a little bit more creative."

The original "Truth or Dare" came out more than a decade ago, following Madonna on her "Blonde Ambition" tour.

The new film, called "I'm Going To Tell You a Secret," offers a behind-the-scenes look at her 2004 "Reinvention" tour.

"Often, people in the entertainment business keep their truths to themselves; their secrets," Madonna observed, to Smith. "So, hopefully, I've revealed some of those things in the movie."

Not surprisingly, it has a few controversial moments, including one asserting most priests are gay.

Some Catholics are already saying they're upset about it, Smith reports.

What would Madonna say to them?

"They haven't seen the movie yet," she replied to Smith. "They can have an opinion after they see the movie."

But, says Smith, if you're expecting the raunchiness of "Truth or Dare," think again.

In one scene, a man tells Madonna, "I don't really believe in God."

"That really hurts me to hear that," Madonna responds.

This Madonna, Smith says, is "The Spiritual Girl," not "The Material Girl."

"To me," Madonna remarks in the documentary, "the beast is the modern world that we live in. The material world. The physical world. The world of illusion that we think is real. We live for it. We're enslaved by it. And it will ultimately be our undoing."

MTV News correspondent John Norris tells The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith he liked the new film "a lot. In a different way than 'Truth or Dare.' Some of the hedonism that's there in 'Truth or Dare' is replaced by a more spiritual Madonna, a Madonna who's a wife and mother now, definitely a different view of her, but it's a pretty compelling movie."
