Maggie Gyllenhaal says she grew up idolizing Madonna, so she was a little starstruck when she finally met her after being invited to one of her parties. Fortunately, the alcohol took the edge off the situation. "She didn't say hi, she just started dancing with me," she told Ellen Degeneres on her show. "Luckily I had taken my shoes off and I kind of like... I was drunk enough that I just kind of danced with her. And I really did for like a minute and a half."Then she was beyond me.

Maggie Gyllenhaal looks up to British actress Emma Thompson. The 32-year-old actress, who recently starred alongside the star in Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, wants to be like her because she gave Maggie some great advice about being a working mom.
