Washington, Mar 13 : American singer Cyndi Lauper has defended queen of pop Madonna's relationship with Brazilian model Jesus Luz, after their 28 years difference was criticised.

Madge, 50, has been seen with 22-year-old Luz at different locations, and in compromising positions.

But 55-year-old Lauper insists that it is not fair to point fingers at Madge for having a younger boyfriend, especially since it is not unusual for a man to be seen with a woman half his age.

"You know, how many old geezers do you see with young women? What''s the double standard? Who cares?" Contactmusic quoted her as saying. (ANI)
