Madonna buys100 pairs of fishnet stockings
Madonna has bought 100 pairs of fishnet stockings for her upcoming tour. The 'Give It 2 Me’ singer – who turned 50 last weekend - got staff to trawl internet auction site eBay and dance shops for the garments to make sure she has the perfect leg-wear. She has also requested 100 pairs of knee pads, 12 trampolines and four large freezers of ice cubes to sooth aching muscles for her 'Sticky and Sweet’ world tour.
Twelve seamstresses are working to make her costume changes run smoothly during the show. On top of her extravagant wardrobe, Madonna will also be sporting £500,000 worth of Swarovski crystals.
The diva’s 250-strong entourage also includes a chiropractor, a personal trainer and a masseuse, and her dancers have put in an unbelievable 653 hours of rehearsals for the show. The 45-date tour kicks off in Cardiff, Wales, tomorrow (23.08.08).
James Morrison - f**k Madonna
James Morrison has branded Madonna "rude". The 'Under The Influence' singer was stunned when the pop legend snubbed him when they met in an American recording studio.
He revealed: "I was recording in a studio in Los Angeles and Madonna came in to speak to a producer and someone asked if I wanted to meet her. I'm not her biggest fan but thought I'd say hello so I went over and said, 'Hello, I'm James, nice to meet you,' and put my hand out to shake hands. She just looked at it and said, 'And what do you do?' I told her I was a singer and she just stared at me and didn't say anything.
"It was really uncomfortable. Then she just ignored me. F**k her, though, it's just a matter of common courtesy. It doesn't matter what someone does for a living. She's just rude. There's no excuse for it."
James also revealed he was the subject of a case of mistaken identity during a recent interview. He added to Britain's Metro newspaper: "I did a radio station in Wales the other day and the interviewer was clueless. She said, 'So you had a big success with 'You're Beautiful' ' and just carried on.
"I thought she was taking the p**s so I went along with it and I sang her a bit of 'You're Beautiful' but she kept on. I had to eventually tell her I wasn't James Blunt, I was James Morrison and she just ignored me."
