Madonna may have a rebel heart but she’s also realistic. A lot of her fans are long past the Mudd Club era and are at women at home in the afternoons. Some may be watching grandchildren! To sell “Rebel Heart,” Madonna’s been appearing all week on “Ellen,” the kind of bourgeois show her “Desperately Seeking Susan” character would have loathed. But it’s 2015, ain’t it?

Madonna has been all G rated in her song presentations on “Ellen.” We’ve never seen so little skin from the woman who once starred in her own “Sex” book. But you don’t want to threaten an audience whom you need to buy your CD and concert tickets. Watch these videos. She’s made good choices so far.
