So Madonna was willing to do her part to support the Live Earth concert to convince us all to be eco-friendly, but she wasn’t exactly reporter-friendly with the media backstage. Turns out the Material Madge had a few ground rules for would-be interviewers. From TMZ: Ever the iconoclast, Madonna reportedly demanded that reporters backstage at Live Earth actually look her in the eye when they talk to her — and not avert their gaze the entire time they conducted interviews. So says the Mirror UK (via MSNBC), which reports that the Material Mama shocked concert organizers by insisting that reporters couldn’t look down to check notes and that all questions for her Madgesty had to be memorized — or they’d get the chop. “We thought her people were joking,” said one Mirror source. Oh no they weren’t: “She did not want to do any interviews, which I told the Live Earth folks from the start,” said a rep for Madge. Journos also couldn’t ask about Guy Ritchie, little David, or Kabbalah. Well that’s a little “look into my eyes, you’re getting sleepy.” Maybe it was all part of Madonna’s master plan to hypnotize the world into riding bikes and using candles. Or maybe she was just having a bitchy moment and decided to use her pop diva powers to punish the little people who…you know…keep her popular. |
