So, yes that includes Madonna, too. During the presser, as pointed out by Celebuzz, he also dissed the Material Girl's performance during the Super Bowl.

He added, "I'm glad he said that actually because I don't think I can bear watching another f**king award show that is just a little bit better than American Idol. It's f**king pathetic to watch people go out and f**king karaoke with a bunch of lights and video. It's all completely watered down."
