Madonna is helping Rosie O'Donnell deal with the menopause.

The '4 Minutes' singer and the stand-up comedienne have been communicating via email and Rosie says the pop queen has been like a "big sister".

Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 when a woman's ovaries stop producing oestrogen and signals the end of menstruation.

Speaking on 'The Tyra Banks Show', she said: "Madonna's great, she's a lot like a big sister. When I started having my hormone things, I'm like, 'What the hell is going on?' She's like, 'Get the cream.' "

Openly gay Rosie went to tell former model Tyra and the studio audience intimate details about how her body has been changing.

She said: "Well let me tell you one thing, Tyra, I am about to be 47 next month and 'Aunt Flow' has not shown up for nine months.

"It started for me at 41. I would be in the bed, and I would wake up and the sheets would be soaking wet. Not damp. Soaking wet. I thought, 'Oh my daughter Vivi crawled in here last night and maybe she wet the bed.'

"So I would throw the covers off and turn to look - and there's no Vivi, it's just my partner Kelli. Then I'm like, 'Kelli is incontinent!' And then I realised, no it's me!"
