Their stormy marriage provided supermarket tabloids with material for years. But now that it's over, Madonna says she misses doing ex-husband Sean Penn's laundry, and she calls their split "a big loss."

"I liked folding Sean's underwear. I like mating socks," Madonna says in Vanity Fair magazine. "You know what I love? I love taking the lint out of the lint screen."

Speaking of the 1989 breakup of her 3 1/2-year marriage to the actor, Madonna said: "It's a big loss. But let's face it - Sean and I had problems. We had this high-visibility life and that had a lot to do with the demise of the marriage."

The pop star says she sees Penn's movies. She admitted she felt territorial while watching his sex scenes in the recent "State of Grace," which co-starred Penn's real-life love Robin Wright, who is pregnant with his child.
