First it was Justin Timberlake, now Madonna has turned her attention to another youthful male star in her latest raunchy video. The singer, who turns 50 in August, cavorts around with singer producer Pharrell Williams - almost 15 years her junior - in the film clip to her new track Give It 2 Me. The mother-of-four wears thigh-high boots, skimpy underwear and a sheer top in some scenes in a sign she has no plans to tone down her racy image.

Task master: Pharrell says Madonna 'worked me to death' 'You know when you get angry with someone and you're spitting snot. I was in a sensitive mood in the studio and I didn't understand the rhythm he wanted me to sing in, and he was giving me a hard time. 'I was taken back by how he was talking to me.' She added: 'We went upstairs and I said, 'You can't talk to me like that,' and burst into tears. And he said, 'Oh my God, Madonna has a heart.' We had it out and now I love him and we make great music together.'
