Pink may idolize Madonna โ€” but the feeling doesnโ€™t appear to be mutual.

The โ€œRaise Your Glassโ€ singer told Howard Stern during a Wednesday, February 22, appearance on The Howard Stern Show that despite being one of the Queen of Popโ€™s biggest fans, Madonna has not acted very fond of her in the past.

โ€œSome people just donโ€™t like me,โ€ Pink joked with the shock jock when asked about her interactions with the โ€œHung Upโ€ vocalist. โ€œIโ€™m a polarizing individual.โ€

โ€œF**k, I loved her,โ€ the chart-topping artist continued before recalling what happened when they were both guests on Live with Regis & Kelly in November 2003.

โ€œShe tried to kind of play me on Regis and Kelly, and Iโ€™m not the one, so [it] didnโ€™t work out,โ€ Pink told Stern. โ€œItโ€™s just such a silly story. I f**king love Madonna, and I love her no matter what. I still love her no matter what. She was such an inspiration to me, but it sort of got twisted around that I was, like, fangirling and was dying to meet Madonna when in actuality she invited me into her dressing room.โ€

โ€œAnd so I just said a joke when __Regis [Philbin]__ brought me out and said, โ€˜I heard you were just falling over yourself backstage. How does it feel?โ€™ Iโ€™m like, โ€˜I thought she wanted to meet me,โ€™โ€ she continued.

โ€œIt didnโ€™t work out. It didnโ€™t work out for us,โ€ the โ€œTryโ€ musician noted of the encounter with the controversial artist. โ€œMadonna took the joke personally.โ€

Despite the โ€œMaterial Girlโ€ not being a fan of Pink now, the mother-of-two recently spilled that the music legend originally wanted her to be a part of her Britney Spearsโ€™ iconic kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2003.

โ€œI think we all were [invited],โ€ Pink spilled during a radio interview with KTU 103.5 after Jennifer Lopez also claimed she was supposed to be part of the performance. โ€œI think Madonna wanted to kiss all of us. I was in Costa Rica at the time, having all kinds of fun with my boyfriend [now husband], Carey Hart. Gwen Stefani was also invited, I remember. It was a bunch of us.โ€
