Madonna goes berserk (ca. 1991)

Completely absurd, but very funny. I especially like the last sentence.

From imdb.com

Madonna flew into a rage when two backstage workers at the 1991 Oscars made errors affecting the perfectionist singer, according to an explosive new book. Film journalist Steve Pond has exposed the Material Girl's diva-like behavior in his new book The Big Show: High Times And Dirty Dealings Backstage At The Academy Awards. Pond claims a female camera operator was seriously injured after falling off the stage into the orchestra pit while Madonna was preparing to rehearse her Dick Tracy tune "Sooner Or Later" to the celebrity-packed audience. But instead of expressing concern, the pop legend was enraged when she was informed her performance had been delayed by the mishap - and reportedly commented, "But she's just lying there. Can't we just do this?" The situation got worse when a technician fell asleep and ruined a planned stunt which was supposed to involve her microphone appearing out of nowhere. Pond recalls in the tome due out next month, "(Madonna launched) into an astonishingly profane tirade, despite the fact that the area below the stage was also occupied by a group of children. Furious, she grabbed (the bearer of the bad news) around the neck and lifted him bodily off the ground, not relinquishing her grip until the trapdoor opened and she began to rise."

In EW during the DWT they told a story on how she and DSquared got into a heated coversation over the size of a shirt. She said it was smaller than when she orginally tried it on and she wanted them to remake it to the orginal size. They said it hadn't changed. After a few mins of going back and forth the remeasured the shirt and it was half an inch smaller than the day before. They than remade the shirt. HHHHHhmmmmm. That's why she is great. Attention to detail

In 1990,when she was in Boston for a series of concerts on the 'Blonde Ambition' tour,she got pissed when there was no hot water in her hotel suite.When the hotel staff came upstairs into her room,she angrily threw a towel at one of them,saying "How the fuck am I supposed to take a bath?!".


lol she can be a bitch,for sure

See this is why she has an advantage over most performers, she always puts her foot down and gets everything perfect and if even something small messes up, she notices.

Did you read this part of the article or did you miss it.

"Pond claims a female camera operator was seriously injured after falling off the stage into the orchestra pit while Madonna was preparing to rehearse her Dick Tracy tune "Sooner Or Later" to the celebrity-packed audience.

Damm, I think she could pause two minutes to see if the person was alright. If you don't think that is a little cold well maybe you and Madonna both need to be slapped into reality.

she's extremely rich and the most famous woman in the world. whether or not she SHOULD be concerned with the woman is beside the point. the REALITY of it is, she doesn't need to be.
