The singer who loves to shock used a forbidden four-letter word 13 times on "The Late Show with David Letterman." She also threw in a couple of other expressions not allowed on television.
The show aired at 11:30 p.m. on CBS - minus the offensive language.
When Letterman resumed the show after Madonna left, he said: "Coming up in the next half-hour, Mother Teresa is going to drop by."
Burt Reynolds left a hospital Thursday with doctor's orders to go home and take it easy.
The 58-year-old "Evening Shade" star spent the night at Medical Center of North Hollywood after complaining on the set Wednesday that he was dizzy and nauseated. Reynolds was taping the show's season finale.
"It was strictly stress-related," said Lamar Jackson, a producer of the CBS series. "It was just exhaustion from work and all the things that have been happening to him. The doctor wanted him to go home and relax."
Doctors found no evidence of heart disease.
Yoko Ono's new show, "New York Rock," opened off-Broadway on Wednesday to no discernible enthusiasm. The Associated Press called it "an odd combination of the sentimental, the vulgar and the violent." The New York Times called it "a crude allegorical revue . . . [without] fully drawn characters or dialogue that could be confused with everyday speech."
Among Ono's songs: "I Felt Like Smashing My Face in a Clear Glass Window."
Pink Floyd opened its first tour in seven years Wednesday before 55,000 Floyd freaks in Miami, and by all reports, the show's more a treat for the eyes than the ears. One witness called the band members "essentially incidental" to visual effects "that pop out like an old 3-D movie."
A highlight: a huge mirror ball - billed as the world's largest - emerging from a cocoon, rising over the crowd, then sprouting petals like a spaceship preparing to land.
