Lowe messed up chance to sl**p with Madonna by refusing to dance with her

ROB Lowe has revealed in a new memoir that he could have slept with Madonna, but he mucked up his chance, because he wouldn’t dance with her first.

In Love Life, the sequel to his best-selling 2011 memoir, Stories I Only Tell My Friends (Lowe has said his new memoir is much “racier” than its predecessor), the eternally youthful star talks of meeting Madonna after a show in Los Angeles in 1984.

“She was cute and she was young and she was single, and so I sat front-row ... she was a revelation,” Lowe writes in the book. “‘Madonna would like to see you backstage,’ a security guard said as the house lights came up.”

“She had flawless skin and eyes that imparted secrets ... she asked what movie I was working on and so I told her a little about St. Elmo’s Fire, which I had just finished. ‘I play the bad boy,’ I said. Madonna just smiled. She seemed to like that.”

Lowe said the two made a date to meet months later at iconic New York club, the Palladium, “a giant dance club that was filled with rabid ‘boy-toy’ doppelganger fans of both sexes. It was a madhouse.”

The “grabbing and pawing” crowd, it seems, were not his scene.

“Madonna and I were discussing where we would sneak off to at the end of the evening when she suddenly jumped up and said, ‘Let’s dance!’… ‘I’ll wait here,’ I said.

“‘Suit yourself,’ she replied as she waded beyond the velvet rope into the fray.”

But, unlike Madonna, Lowe had no desire to mix with the general public.

He writes: “‘You’re crazy,’ I said, half meaning it. ‘No I’m not,’ she said … ‘I’m just not going to let success f**k up my fun.’”
