(CBS) Madonna, who once gave David Letterman a pair of her underpants, had plenty to say on CBS' "Late Show" Thursday about young Hollywood going commando.
"I've been hearing these stories. It's dreadful," she said. "Honestly, I live in England and so, I get – I'm pretty cut off from a lot of these stories. I only read stuff about, or hear stuff about the Royal Family. And so I've come to New York and the first thing I hear is about everyone not wearing their underpants. What's going on? ... It's freezing outside!"
Letterman reminded Madonna about the time she brought him a pair of her underpants as a gift and told the singer that he still had them.
"Maybe you could send them to Britney," Madonna quipped.Photos: Madonna In Malawi
Madonna also talked candidly about the controversy surrounding her adoption of a baby boy named David from Malawi.
"The controversy took me by surprise," she said. "We did everything by the book and we went through the courts and, you know, everything was kosher in terms of legal, but it was – I think it brought a lot of attention to a country who's just coming to terms with what they should do with the overwhelming number of orphans that are there. There's over a million orphans in Malawi and in my opinion, the laws need to change because these children need to be rescued."
The singer went on to say that the 15-month-old David is "a champion tantrum thrower" whom they call "King David."Video: See Madonna on "Late Show With David Letterman"
"It's interesting, when they're that age or any age, they really can't do anything for themselves. They can't dress themselves, they can't feed themselves, they can't go anywhere by themselves, but yet they're running the entire show."

Obviously you haven't recovered from your unmentionable past to know any better. LOL
Of course we don't expect this lost ho to be able to appreciate the principles of Human Virtues.
You know she can give a rats a** who does what. Maybe she doesn't have time to read the tabloids or any other Mag...
I think Madonna was being very tongue-in-cheek about the going without panties thing. She could care less about anyone not wearing underwear and she certainly heard about it...England's tabloids were screaming about it, I'm sure. She likes Britney, she probably thinks the whole thing is "cute" or something. (I don't, mind you...but M probably does...)
MaDonna, and thank-you for telling Ms. Spears to put some drawers on, cause that is just plain nasty not to mention she is a mother too! Please help her! Tell her to go back to school or something and try and grow up!
While I have nada againest Madonna I feel that her statement was totally lacking in truth.
