Muscle-bound Madonna has revealed she is trying to become more feminine, because she fears she has too many male attributes.

The singer, whose new album Hard Candy is set for release at the end of the month, admitted she has never been worried about her masculine side before, but is trying to curb it in favour of more ladylike behaviour.

She says, "I think I've been honing and finessing my feminine side.

"I've always been very comfortable with my masculine side - the confidence, the ballsiness. I've learnt to be more pliant, more vulnerable - and to be comfortable with that."

Perhaps washing her foul mouth with soap would help Madonna become more womanly.
