A piece of Madonna’s romantic side can be purchased at Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction.  Apparently two microcassette tapes of romantic answering machine messages (1992-1993) Madonna left her then boyfriend James Albright and 21 love letters she faxed him from hotels all around the world (1992-1994) will go up for auction with the bidding for the microcassettes to starts at $25,000, the letters at $2,000.   The items can be seen here.

According to the New York Post, ‘there is also a 15-minute, extended-footage VHS tape of her from Abel Ferrara’s 1993 film, “Dangerous Game,” co-starring Harvey Keitel and James Russo’.   They say on the tape (which is a movie within a movie) you can see that:

Madonna appears to snort cocaine, inhale nitrous oxide and expose her breasts while allowing Russo to snort cocaine off her body

The bidding for this tape will start at $10,000.  And because neither VHS or the audiotapes came with copyright, any new owner will not be able to resell the tapes.

In one of the letters she faxed to him she talks she writes:

“Just watched the  HBO special. It was OK. My booty looked good and you should see how good it looks in person. It looks Bootyful!”

The seller of all of this is unknown so I guess we can safely assume that means it isn’t Albright.  Having said that it really makes you wonder how it got into the hands of the seller.  Did Albright move somewhere and just happen to leave this stuff behind?  Unlikely.  Did he sell it to someone to make some money?  I can understand keeping love letters, but cassettes from an old answering machine seems odd to me.    Regardless, I’m sure Madonna could care less.  Madonna’s rep had no comment and Albright could not be reached for comment.

What do you think?
