DAMN! MADONNA TELLS ROLLING STONE THAT EMINEM TURNED HER DOWN!

Madonna may have jumped off a skyscraper after her messy divorce from Guy Ritchie last year - if only she had the time.
"It was a challenging year," the icon admits in the November issue of Rolling Stone, which hits stands tomorrow. "I may have thrown myself off a building. I think work saved me, and I'm very grateful [for that]."

Some of that work included teaming up with Justin Timberlake, whom Madonna describes as a "sort of Cary Grant," on her hit "4 Minutes." She also collaborated with Lil Wayne on her new tune "Revolver," which she calls "bad­ass." But there is one person she can't attribute her busy year to: Eminem.

"I wanted to work with him," the Material Mom admits candidly. "But he didn't want to work with me."

Why would anyone - even bad boy Em - not want to collaborate with her Madgesty? "Maybe he's shy," she offers.

Regardless, the songstress powered on - a skill she acquired early in her career when now-infamous nude photos surfaced in Playboy and Penthouse.

"That was the first time I was aware of saying 'F- you' with my attitude," she says. Her response, she says, was: "You're trying to put me down because of this? I [wasn't] going to let public opinion dictate my own feelings about myself. I [wasn't] going to apologize for anything I've done."

Those pictures may have been the finishing touches on an already-risqué persona, but the Queen of Pop insists she was more "Like a Virgin" than anyone thinks.

"I didn't really have my first drink until I got divorced the first time - from Sean Penn - when I was 30," she admits. "I was kind of a geek in high school."

Not so much anymore. At 51, Madonna is perhaps just the opposite - especially since she acquired 23-year-old arm candy Jesus Luz. Although she stays mum about her Brazilian boyfriend in Rolling Stone ("Isn't this about music?" she asks), she does share an anecdote that makes it obvious she was destined for cougardom from the start.

Madge explains how she was friends in the early '80s with legendary graffiti artists Keith Haring, who died of AIDS in 1990, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, who died of a drug overdose in 1988. Their "crew" - which included "Entourage" actress Debi Mazar - would graffiti everything. "Walls, subways, sidewalks," Madge admits.

And her tag? None other than "Boy Toy."

- Oliver Stone knows what makes a hit movie - and it isn't the homemade fodder that's clogging the Web. "You can't just have your neighbor come over and jump in the pool and call it a movie," the director (below) ranted to a crowd of stunned techies at Tuesday night's fete for Terra, the Hispanic media network, at the New Museum. "One kid strangles another, and they put it on the Internet and call it a f-ing movie." Stone wasn't stopping there. "Every movie that's on TV is in HD," he said, "and it looks like it was shot by 'Entertainment Tonight.'" His baffled fellow speaker, Mario Lopez - who hosts "Extra" - offered: "I think Mr. Stone speaks for a different generation."

- 'Law & Order' star Jeremy Sisto said "I do" to fiancee Addie Lane Tuesday in NYC. The two exchanged vows at City Hall with a very exclusive guest list: only their 4-month-old daughter, Charlie, and her nanny were present.
