An article out of The Mirror:

 

MADGE SNUB TO TRIBUTE Stars warned not to approach her She doesn't stay to see them play

 

Despite some tough competition from J-Lo in the strop stakes, Madonna has proved once again she is the biggest diva around.

 

There we were thinking her British husband Guy Ritchie had calmed her down but Madge still has her moments. The 44-year-old mother-of-two was honoured last week in Paris with a tribute show.

 

Performers such as Blue, Tina Arena and top French pop acts were roped in a week before and each given a Madonna song to rehearse for the big night on Wednesday.

 

But at the concert - to celebrate her 20th year in music and the release of her 10th album - she upset the other performers with her petulant behaviour.

 

The bands were told they must not leave their dressing rooms once Madonna was in the venue. If they did bump into her, they were told under no circumstances were they to talk to her.

 

Our source says: "It was outrageous. Here were these bands paying tribute. But they were effectively told to shut themselves away from view and not bother her.

 

"They were furious at the way they'd been treated. Madonna just didn't want to know. Why invite them to do a tribute concert when you don't even want to acknowledge their existence?

 

"It's not like they were crazed fans who were going to attack her. Blue weren't even going to bother her for her autograph.

 

"No one can understand why she made such a fuss. It was such a stuck-up thing to do."

 

But it gets worse. Once Madonna had finished her set in front of the 200 guests including her French pals Jean-Paul Gaultier, film director Luc Besson and designer Philippe Starck, she didn't even hang around to watch the others.

 

"These bands spent time and energy learning her material. What's the point when she wasn't interested?" adds our source.

 

"They were told Madonna would thank them personally afterwards but needless to say that didn't happen either. She cleared off before the end without so much as a smile.

 

"She may have been in the business 20 years but you'd have thought she might have learned some manners along the way."

 

Madonna indulged in similarly bizarre behaviour at the gig she performed at the HMV store in London's Oxford Street on Friday.

 

Despite only performing seven songs, the star - who was 90 minutes late - insisted her dressing room be filled with lillies, scented candles, fruit and bowls of red liquorice.

 

In an interview with Jo Whiley to be aired on Radio 1 today, Madonna revealed that her favourite band is Coldplay, led by her pal Gwyneth Paltrow's boyfriend Chris Martin.

 

"He's great. I think he's incredibly talented," she gushed.

 

Perhaps if Coldplay had played at her tribute gig she might have stayed to watch.

Oooh so lets blame Coldplay as the inspiration for Madonna's embarassing new material, yay!

everybody likes coldplay! :sad:

Madonna was never that good anyway, and totally past her peak now regardless.

 

I mean American Life?

 

I'd rather watch Jay Leno....

I lovvve how Madonna just mentions Chris as being talented. Like there isn't 3 other memebers in Coldplay. :roll: Whatever.

boy madonna really bugs me. she's never been any more than a novelty act, but if she can create enough controversy, people will keep buying her shit records. plus she's completely full of herself and thinks she's actually relevent in some way to music. needless to say, reading that article didn't improve my opinion of her any. :roll:

I was thinking that too..but apparently the conversation wasn't primarily on CP music it was on the Gwyneth and Chris' relationship. Apparently she was giving Gwyneth her approval- for whatever it's worth. :roll:

I always knew she had good taste!!! :D

Yeh, its like, "People really care if Madonna approves of Gwynnie's and Chris' relationship." :roll:

Yeah..pff!! :roll:

Ha! Ha! :lol: :D

:twisted:

Hehe I think that's what the reporter was trying to do, focus on Chris and Gwynnie's relationship instead. It's the press for you :roll:

I know... :roll:

i like madonna

 

new stuff included :)

my bro's a huge madonna fan. maybe now we can find a common bond. lol. that's cool though. even though she's just old leather now, she's still can pick talent.

I used to love Madonna..like LOVE.. "Cherish" used to be my favourite song!! Just a great poppy tune. But i've grown less fond of her as she got older...and as i got older...

 

But if i were to hear vintage madonna on the radio or whatever, i certainly wouldn't change it...I'd DANCE!!! :D

my fav song: frozen........& secret

ya shes going to like them......she tries to act british.....and if ur acting british.....why not try to say u like the best british band around.

*sigh* Amanda I heart Van Gogh!

i love his painting......he is a genius.....and he would be the person that id would like to spend a day as....because he was so misunderstood

when ppl feel misunderstood it kills me :( ... and yes, whew.. he was an absoulte genius! Some of his painting have made me cry... hehe, Kara gets overwhelmed easily when it comes to any forms of art! A good book to read in regards to that is... "Pictures and Tears" by James Elkins.

omg his paintings are genius.....my favorite is "girl in the woods" .....this site is awsome with his paintings http://www.vangoghgallery.com

Edge of a wood is one of ma faves.

anyone who is a fan of coldplay, im a fan of theirs, even madonna and justin timberlake ;)
